They have solar panels and batteries, they aren't connected to anything.

Nah, it's an incandescent light. Old-school.

Meanwhile, Delaware is making it so corporations can vote there.

I want to see what it looks like at normal speed.

I doubt anyone can actually calculate a line of best using ordinary least square linear regression by hand with no mistakes but no one’s crying about that.

That's because I can write an algorithm to do it for me reliably and quickly.

LLMs are just the next generation of calculators and programs.

LLMs can do it quickly, but they cannot do it reliably by their very nature. They are very much NOT the next generation of calculators and programs, because the whole POINT of calculators and programs is to do it quickly AND RELIABLY.

nowadays most of it is done by robots.

The difference is that the robots are actually better at reliably making cars than the humans were. Vibe coding very much does not produce better, more reliable code.

The problem is that if Biden overstepped his authority, he would get barbecued by his own party. Trump does it and they fucking cheer.

Those were only two examples of an accelerating trend. But you're right; if something is actually a necessity, you can largely get it without a smartphone. Society is doing its utmost to make them a necessity though, and it drives me nuts.

At this point, you can't even participate in several aspects of society without a smartphone. A lot of concerts and the like have digital-only tickets. You can't even get cheap McD's food without using their stupid app; their deals are all digital now.

LLMs are neat, and useful for some things - but as with practically everything in modern society, capitalism is ruining it.

Oh, absolutely. But other, more accurate, emulators started to take some of ZSNES's limelight away as hardware started to catch up to the demands.

It was a long time before a majority of PC owners could run BSNES at full-speed, but eventually it became one of the most well-beloved emulators. That same clock is what pushed ZSNES into obscurity over time.

No-one uses Reddit's search engine unless there's a specific reason to.
