Sure, but that is different than being a translation.

A "translation" of the Bible is always considered moving from the original text, not from the likely language of the speaker.

Fair enough.

You are completely wrong. The US is not a leftist nation by any stretch of the imagination. Honestly, you're so incredibly wrong, that I can't believe you actually believe what you are saying.

In fact, after being on HN since 2008, I have never encountered someone as wrong as you are.

I lost hope for Swift after seeing a minor holy war about the c-style for loop.

> "But nobody made them agree to that!"

And to amplify your point just a bit, if the alternative is losing your healthcare and possibly going homeless, what does "agreeing" even mean anymore?

Probably because only the US has the kind of gun violence that you're wondering about. I don't think in Europe, the idea that someone is going to come after you with a gun because you pissed them off generally hits the radar.

Someone may find the question offensive because of that.

Fair enough.

Greatest amp ever, if you ask me.

I see this idea a lot, but I don't really buy it. I've coded in 6502 assembly for years, and the zero page is not register-like at all.

Best thing you can say about zero page is that it only requires one read cycle to fetch a value from. (Or one write cycle to store a value to it.)

Why ZP isn't like registers: You can't do register operations with it. For example, you can do this with the accumulator:

LDA #03 ; load immediate value of 3. STA $c000 ; store it at $c000.

or

LDA $1004 ; load a value from $1004. ADC $4000 ; add the value stored at $4000. STA $4001 ; store to $4001.

You can't do this at all with a zero page address. You have to go through an actual register first.

Do you like to be surveilled at work? Would it make you want to do a better job or just hate your job more?

The concern here is that people aren’t happy that LLM parasites are wasting their bandwidth and therefore their money on a scheme to get rich off of other people’s work.

I'm not saying that there aren't problems giving big tech yet another blank check, but aren't we going a bit overboard here? I read the code (it's 100 lines) and it does one (1) GET request. You'd be generating pretty much the same traffic if you went to the webpage yourself.

If that were the case in this particular instance, it would be dang/Ycom putting in the request.

> It seems fine as long as they follow the regulations related to price fixing

This would be the "if it's legal, it's also ethical" fallacy.
