'Cause even the mini pianos were too heavy.

I wonder how the Courts will interpret this in two-party consent states for phone conversations.

And since it's always on, it should be fun in two-party consent states. They claim it's simply listening and transcribing and doesn't store the conversations, but I wonder how the Courts will interpret this.

AI typically produces excessively complex code to perform tasks. Is that what you want in banking?

Laziness and abstraction layers.

In fact, we have many writings from the original authors of the US Constitution on exactly what they intended, and what they feared the unintended consequences might be. They were quite prolific in their musings. Of note is the fact that they did not all agree -they compromised.

Start with the Federalist Papers. Then read the Convention Records for Madison's notes on the arguments that occurred during the original US Constitutional convention. You can find writings by Washington, Adams, Hamilton, and Jefferson preserved in the "Founders Online" collection by the US National Archives.

Congress has exercised Inherent Contempt powers as recently as a hundred years ago but they turned the Congressional Jail into a speakeasy/conference room which roughly reflects their sense of duty.

Which, to your point, they now refer the DoJ to the DoJ for prosecution.

But also that illustrates why prior Congresses held the power to be essential.

It would have been grand if "The Dow, the Dow is over fifty thousand!" landed Bill Barbie in jail until she had time to think abour her duty to respond truthfully.

I've reminded Paul about his duty but they're all weak on such matters.

If only Alan Watts had known about the biological processes tied to the Schumann Resonance, 1G of gravity, and the Circadian Rhythm ... he would have come to the same conclusions.

Deep Space explorers are going to have to create mini Earths if they want to stay healthy.

This is very disappointing to the Platonists and Transhumanists.

Nope. EAC is already on Linux. You don't seem to need Linux gaming news since you don't seem to follow it now.

Those are all things supporting the GP's statement.

Waymo runs their taxis remotely from a call center in the Philippines when they're not in dead simple situations and they're 10 years ahead of everyone else. Drag these jokers in front of a committee under oath and I'm sure they're doing the same.

Who let all these Nazis in here?

Oh yeah, B!zX.

Sometimes being excessively nice and a sycophant can more cruel than telling somebody a difficult truth.

For example, staying in a romantic relationship for too long because to break it off might hurt the other person is cruel. But the behavior appears to be "nice" at face value.

Sorry, not sorry, Claude. But I have to tell you the truth when you suck. Because if I'm nice, and you keep on sucking...that's the real cruelty.

More accurately, zero businesses care about people who work for them, because businesses are legal fictions, which only exist in the legal system. They don't have brains, hearts, or emotions. People who work for them might care, but as the business increases in size, that becomes decreasingly relevant, and once it becomes publicly traded the shareholders can act to remove officers who don't follow the charter. And while corporations aren't legally obligated to maximize profits by default, the charter pretty much always says something about that, as that's why people invest.

A sole proprietor might care about you, and that might even be relevant...

You're talking about Melanie, right? Who lied on her Epstein visa?
