Godot is also weighing the possibility of moving the project to another platform where there might be less incentive for users to "farm" legitimacy as a software developer with AI-generated code contributions. But moving to a less popular platform could run the risk of alienating legitimate contributors.

I feel like this is what people do with the multiplayer games where they are allowed to be mean to each other

Probably just their best shot at engagement farming imo, it doesn't make any sense but it sounds like something that might make people mad.

I for one would really prefer not to spend brain space on things like Excel scripting syntax. I haven't actually tried current frontier models but every LLM I've used isn't good enough to actually get good results vibe coding without applying some of your own programming knowledge, so I think you'd still want to learn regardless.

Mobile home owner here. I'm pretty sure that most of their bad reputation as an investment is because most of them do not come with the land, but if they do come with the land, then as an asset they will behave more like other real estate. The main thing that is valuable about a home is that it confers the legal right and practical ability to live in that location, but mobile homes placed on rented land categorically do not.

To address the other points (warning: c/dull_mens_club style content ahead):

To give an example of a repair task related to custom appliances: The water heater broke, and replacing it was complicated by the differences between normal and mobile home water heaters; the latter are smaller, and the cold water intake pipe is on the bottom rather than the top. I had to downgrade to a slightly smaller, mobile home approved tank because the previous one was a regular water heater too large to be up to code as it is placed in a small contained closet and there are clearance requirements. The floor underneath it also needed some repairs, which were fairly simple. All of the plumbing, electrical wiring, and joists underneath the floor can be accessed from the crawlspace by cutting through the wrap material and insulation with a utility knife, and then stapled/taped up when done, which is a little awkward given the lack of space, but everything is accessible without that much difficulty. The cost of the whole replacement was mostly the tank itself, which was more expensive than a comparable non-mobile-home water heater, but only by $100 or so.

Overall, the thing is a really simple single story structure, and compared to what I saw my parents go through trying to maintain an old farmhouse it seems like easy mode.

Its entire model relied on centralized servers, subscriptions, and proprietary software to authenticate vehicles and manage battery exchanges.

I would otherwise be excited about the idea of getting an electric car but the way they are steeped in bullshit like this makes me end up planning to only drive old cars indefinitely.

Thanks to diligent reporting from two independent outlets, Drop Site and Reason, we now have a much better sense of Epstein’s relationship with the foreign policy elite of the US and Israel. It seems that Epstein was not a CIA or Mossad asset—not because he didn’t have it in him, but because that was too lowly a role. Rather, he was a power broker, an American oligarch, who played a major role in shaping Western policy, which brought him in contact with spy agencies and diplomats.

It's a pretty interesting claim that Epstein was too big to be a spy. This article references two main other articles to support this idea. That makes it seem strange to me that he got caught at all.

I like that they're also banning anyone not doing a similar ban

Yeah, I took a class in highschool where they just had us play a typing game until we got good enough at it. It really helps to learn the correct form and be using the right fingers for the right keys, you don't have to really think about the individual letters anymore and the words just appear when you intend them to.

Model of ethics that reveres selfishness and considers empathy a vice

it is that much that it was impossible for me to check every package but everything has been scanned for viruses

Seems legit

Can sometimes help to edit your previous message with additional instructions and regenerating rather than responding to ask for a correction. Also copy pasting documentation and code examples with syntax that is real into the prompt. Might also try something other than ChatGPT since OpenAI sucks in general.

I feel like this is a pretty good "in media res" page

 

I was watching this video of a live chicken trapped on a moving truck and thought it was strange that it's not possible to say anything to them even when circumstances might warrant it. All we got is honking and waving. There could be a touchscreen interface with a map of nearby vehicles. It could be voice controllable or the passenger could do it for safety.

 

While alternative app stores operate independently and are required by EU law, Apple is still in a position to exert some control. This became apparent a few weeks ago, when iTorrent users suddenly ran into trouble when installing the app.

Thought this was an interesting story, since it's pretty analagous to the recent Android situation, with third party app stores being enabled to some extent, but the company retaining ultimate censorship power.

 

The Block BEARD bill broadly applies to service providers as defined in section 512(k)(1)(A) of the DMCA. This is a broad definition that applies to residential ISPs, but also to search engines, social media platforms, and DNS resolvers.

Service providers with fewer than 50,000 subscribers are explicitly excluded

So I was reading this post and decided to make the tool described, as a userscript (I credit ChatGPT with doing most of the work, which went pretty quickly). To use it, install a compatible userscript browser extension such as https://violentmonkey.github.io/ , then press install on the linked page. Reddit comments should now have a 'copy-context' button that will put the comment chain in your clipboard. I made it for old.reddit so probably won't work with the redesign. Another limitation is that it will only work to copy what is on the current page, so if the comment chain is too deep it's not going to get all of it.

Any feedback is welcome. Also if someone who can read javascript wants to give it a once-over and confirm for people that it isn't malicious that would be cool too.
