So the corporate sites will be more difficult to access and the sites that pirate the same content will be business as usual. Since teens always ask for their parents’ credit cards to buy embarrassing content legitimately instead of pirating them anonymously, these laws will absolutely stop underage viewing.

The Steam Deck is a perfect example of why the title of this post is nonsense. Ha, I added this post early in the morning yesterday and have been facepalming over the dumb title I wrote ever since.
Geeks are enthusiasts who collect and engage with specific topics, often focusing on trends and memorabilia, while nerds are more academically inclined, concentrating on mastering knowledge and skills in their areas of interest. Both terms can overlap, but they emphasize different aspects of passion and expertise.

True, and having the hubris to think otherwise makes you even less immune.
Fair point. The title should be something more like “Normie Marketing Doesn’t Work in Nerds”.
A website with pricing, extensive documentation, and a download button effectively IS marketing.
“Flying car” is a bullshit term. They are aircraft and must be treated as such.
I suppose there are benefits to gig work like Instacart in that you get to pick your own schedule, but what is the benefit of driving for Amazon? You’re a contractor, but Amazon picks your hours?
If the state of open source phones are anything to judge by, we will have open source cars at some point, except the foot brake isn’t working yet, so you’ll have to use the hand brake for now. Cars and phones both take a lot of resources to develop, and maybe you’ll be able to “de-Stellantis” your car at some point instead of going fully open source, but judging by the recent steps Google has taken to weaken de-Googling, I’m not sure how long that would last either.
Not really my area of expertise, but this article lays out her perspective on this for anyone who isn’t aware: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-world-doesnt-need-a-new-gigantic-particle-collider/
TL;DR - Many times the cost of the LHC and unlike the LHC, the gains are likely to be incremental instead of revolutionary. The same funding could do much more good elsewhere.
To your point, agreed that even small, incremental gains for science are more valuable than what we are likely to get from AI.
Yeah, a study with actual data would beat an opinion piece for sure.
