You are both right. Data centers have both data storage and processing.

Ask Claude lol

Actually, “majority-rule (Condorcet) methods of ranked voting uniquely minimize the number of spoiled elections by restricting them to voting cycles, which are rare in ideologically-driven elections.”

The whole Linux??

Also that the president has authority over the military (as opposed to Congress), because “you can’t have a coup if your executive is already a dictator” taps head

I agree that the literal text is what matters. There have been some neat attempts to write laws as code, which would allow them to be tested for constitutionality, for correctness, and also how they would fare in extreme circumstances. Unfortunately, I am concerned that even if laws were code (like a function that accepts parameters and returns a criminal sentence, if any), the laws could still be exploited be providing bogus inputs. I’m assuming that there would still be a corruptible being enforcing the law, whether human or strong AI.

No one should expect any legal document to be bulletproof, but the real problem is that the threshold to fix bugs in the constitution is so high that the bugs are rarely fixed.

Yeah the pardon mechanism is pretty much a zero-day vulnerability.

The Senate should be abolished. The existence of 2 legislative chambers, both of which need to approve each piece of legislation, is an obvious flaw that leads to deadlock and cynicism about “government not working” (rightfully so), and often lets both parties plausibly blame the other. No rational consensus algorithm involves an even number of peers.

Of course, the Senate will never be abolished, because doing so would require 2/3 of the Senate to approve its own abolition, which no rational Senator would vote for. So we’ll just have to wait for the US government lose a war to a foreign adversary or some sort of revolution.

Is he planning another coup?

FTFY

I’m honestly surprised that the Republicans haven’t started suggesting suicide kits as an alternative to Medicaid, because ultimately, people have to make the choice between financial death due to healthcare bills, or biological death.

I find it hilarious for a cyclist to be an anarchist. What do they think would happen without bike lanes and laws against hit-and-runs? Chaos and death.

Memes aside, there’s nothing more important than the people in your life. Spend time with them.

Physical media is no more expensive or inconvenient than it ever was. It’s just that you’re now comparing it to downloads, which bear no manufacturing cost and don’t require you to physically go to a store or have the media shipped to you. These are exactly the reasons that consumers prefer downloads.

After Trump, the bar to be a Republican official is so low that it’s somewhere in the Mariana Trench.

PSA: If your router has a guest network feature, enable it, and put all of your IOT devices on it. Unlike the main network, guest networks are typically configured such that each device on the guest network can only access the internet, and not other devices on the guest network, nor the router, itself.

I don’t get it. What were they intending to search for?

Gotta own those libs, right? /s

I like “cuz” because while we are not all “bros” we are all distant cousins.

I’ve read science fiction books in which humans scavenged the machines’ supplies like rodents scavenging from a kitchen, and now it’s reality.
