Maybe in some other countries where the people get to influence the laws in a process called Democracy and Free Press.

iOS 20 will come with matching dissolving air-tablets you swallow every other Monday, ID nanoprobes are then slowly secreted by the kidneys. The Genius Bar will corroborate your identity and watch you swallow the pill.

Does anyone use BRL-CAD for anything? It must be capable but I can find very little information and resources about.

I for one have never successfully done anything with it. Couldn’t figure it out.

But it does have a kernel, so…


True. Forming a Presidential Guard and have them rolling over protestors with tanks isn’t very enticing either IMHO

Why would it not happen? It would be yet another opportunity for the God King to give handouts to his subjects.

We have effectively unlimited carbon dioxide right now

All these concerns are muddled by thinking about Youtube as the example, since it is such a blind meta machine optimising for ad revenue, it’s already actively pushing all kinds of harmful content.

If you are, here's a port of Chrome:

I wonder what may happen when that generation fades away.

Wealth that isn’t concentrating on the 1% will be diluted as part of inheritance. Those from a poor background will continue to be screwed no matter how well they are doing. Tabitha who makes clogs for shitzus as a job (standard person on uk real Estate shows) will co time to live rent free massive houses while those working and living in the cities massive rent and commuting will do tie to pay far more tax.

Old and young are late-bound.

I don’t think any of this is particular to nor confined to a specific generation.


I just meant that, at this time, there is big cohort of old people living in large (and largely empty) houses.

That’ll be true when my generation is old and when yours is old as well.

My house is well sized for our family of four. I don’t plan to move out when the kids go to college nor as long as I’m able to live independently. People who don’t like that are entitled to their opinion but not to my acting in accordance with their wishes.


Thanks, I understand now. That makes sense. It may be though that as the older generation shrinks, the newer generation enacts new zoning regulations. That could change the composition and mix in current residential areas now dominated by large single family houses.

Now I have the question - when does one send base64-encoded images to a backend server?

The OpenAI API is a pretty high-profile example of this existing in the real world. You use it in their conversations interface when you want to include images in the conversation. Discord also uses it for attachments https://discord.com/developers/docs/reference#image-data. More generally it's when you want to send image data as part of a larger JSON blob.
