I think the biggest problem is that ai for now is not an exact tool that gets everything right.

The biggest problem is that it isn’t an exact tool, but is being presented as if it was and implemented as a replacement for people instead of a tool they can use to make themselves more efficient.

Whereas the “real” hover board that exists has wheels.

Hovercraft have existed for decades and actually hover which makes everyone just accepting Hoverboards as wheeled infuriating.

In my experience it’s not going through the motions while everything works or using the system itself, it’s the first time you try to go off the guardrails or you encounter a technical issue.

This is also true for Windows though.

I just like the original context of anger and frustration about drug addiction more than country western melancholy.

I tried wording that in a way that doesn’t sound like a dig at Cash’s version, but that really is how I see the difference. One is just more energetic and in the moment while the other is looking back in resignation and the former is my personal preference. Cash’s version is fine, I just disagree that his is better when both are peak quality for their genres.

Trent is wrong, the original is better. Johnny’s is ok.

Yup, and all of these are sold as benefitting the non-wealthy while glossing over how much more it benefits the wealthy.

Rich people can buy high end homes that they know will appreciate in value, and their interest rate will be lower because they are wealthy. So if they get a good enough rate they are basically getting a tax break for what they are paying for the house and then selling it for more profit. They can do this because they are wealthy enough to decide on when to make large transactions.

As a deduction it will have a far higher impact on their taxes because whatever the amount is paid in interest is coming out of their highest tax bracket.

So if they are paying 10k in interest on a more expensive house becsuse rheir interest rate is lower and the 10k reduced their income taxed at 20+% they will get a far bigger benefit out of it than someone paying 10k at a higher interest rate that might lower their income taxed at 10% and when they sell their house they will get less of an increase from it.

When wealth is concentrated because wages don’t increase with productivity, the wealthy are paying less than their fair share of taxes to society with a flat percentage that has a cap.

Look at it this way, if there is 1 million dollars taxed at 3% and there is no cap it doesn’t matter who gets what, $30k total is collected. If there is a 100k cap and one person takes in 500k and 10 people take in 50k in income apiece then only $9k is collected and the one taking in 500k is putting in the same amount as everyone else. They are also less in need for social security retirement savings because they can easily squirrel away more in savings.

In the US you can deduct the mortgage interest, which is even more of a benefit for the wealthy than the mortgage as a whole would be since the deduction decreases the longer someone stays in a home.

Social security being a flat percentage with a cap is also a form of class war.

Is the plural for CAT cable really Cats and not CAT cables?

Guess it is like mouses for more than one computer mouse.

TIL.

As long as I can read from the second nvme drive I have enough total space to easily shuffle around.

My issue was that I couldn’t fit everything onto just the SSDs at the same time.

I have windows PC with 6 drives, mostly SSD and on HDD that I assume are all NTFS. Two of the drives are nvme(?) attached to the mobo, and I only have one mobo with nvme slots. I have a number of older boards that top out at SATA connections.

If I install Linux Mint, can I format one nvme drive with whatever the current preferred linux formatting is, install Mint, and move the files from the other drives around as I format each one?

Or do I need to move all the data I want to keep to SATA drives, put them in a different windows box, and then copy them over using a network connection?

It’s been a while and I’m guessing my lack of finding an answer means linux still doesn’t work with NTFS enough to do what I’m thinking of.

The samples were intentionally rearranged and mixed with other content in a new and creative way.

When sampling took off, the copyright situation was sorted out and the end result is that there are ways to license samples. Some samples are produced like stock footage hat could be pirchased inexpensively, which is why a lot of songs by different artists have the same samples included. Samples of specific songs have to be licensed, so a hip hop song with a riff from an older famous song had some kind of licensing or it wouldnt be played on the radio or streaming services. They might have paid one time, or paid an artist group for access to a bunch of songs, basically the same kind of thing as covers.

Samples and covers are not plagarism if they are licensed and credit their source. Both are creating someing new, but using and crediting existing works.

AI is doing the same sampling and copying, but trying to pretend that it is somehow not sampling and copying and the companies running AI don’t want to credit the sources or license the content. That is why AI is plagarism.

I have had some fast food in the last year, but each time I regret it and it gets longer in between.

For the same price I can order from a real restaurant and have leftovers.
