Technically, yes, but will yield poor results. We did it internally at big corp n+1 and it, frankly, blows. Other than menial tasks, it's good for nothing but a scout badge.
Is that really that much worse than full copilot, though? When we tried it this past spring, it was really cool but not quite useful enough to actually stick with.
Gays! I knew it was them! Even when it was the atomization of society, loss of third places, destruction of the middle class and so many other things, I knew it was them.
Yeah, well, harvesting human organs (selling them to US customers) and maintaining death camps in 2024 is kind of "bad guys" for me. But, to each his own, I suppose.
The U.S. also harvests the organs of dead prisoners without consent. This is well-documented. 2 Democratic senators even proposed a bill to "reduce sentences" by "donating" your organs.
The U.S. runs the world's most extensive biological weapons research program and firmly opposes any verification for the BWC to which the U.S. is a signatory. The Pentagon operates a ridiculous number of bio labs in other nations.
The U.S. NIH was indirectly responsible for Covid - thanks to sponsorship of gain-of-function research into bat coronaviruses via the Ecohealth alliance, sponsorship of which was approved by good old "I represent Science" Dr Fauci. A massive and desperate cover up operation was performed by the NIH here. Hell, there were e-mails sent to delete everything and deflect all inquiries.
The U.S. deliberately sponsors coups in nations across the world for leaders they don't like - as evidenced by de-classified documents. The U.S. military budget is 7 times higher than that of China. Nearly a million people were killed directly and in-directly in Yemen thanks to good old American bombs.
Let's not even get into earlier acts - like Obama's "moderate rebels" in Syria who were busy chaining women in Aleppo and who devolved into ISIS after the Syrian army kicked them out and decided to conquer Iraq instead - all with the latest American weaponry in hand! (I strongly suggest speaking to a native Syrian who lived in Aleppo during that time to know about the horror)
Other than these very small misdemeanours, the U.S. is a saint! Doubly so on the internet. /s
Apple's site loads for me in under 1 second with a clean cache force-reload.
The featured themes, in general, have poor typography and whitespace, poor formatting and alignment, and uninspired colors and design. Furo [0] is the best-designed of them and would make a solid foundation for a proper theme.
Wrong. For all intent and purposes, you could switch any cryptocurrency with whatever FIAT in your sentence and it still applies. I don't hunt money and wear it as a necklace (lion teeth). I don't mine it out of a gold mine. It is given to me in exchange for work.
Given.
Exchange.
If you and I agree that we only accept little tin circles; What's the difference? When you say money, what are you referring to? Just the US bank note? Some brass coins? Any FIAT?
Today's FIAT have nothing to do with what currency, basically just a fancy IOU note, used to be.
Currency WAS representative of human work. Directly. The oldest known form are lion teeth. You had to WORK to get them. It was direct proof of work. And it was important to keep that link so no arbitrary value is taken or added to it.
The next major leap of currency was IOU notes. Notes that banks respected between each other. One bank gives you some paper that says "trust me, bro, I'm worth 2 lion teeth". You go to another bank and can exchange that paper back to 2 lion teeth.
At one point in time, the US bamboozled the entire world and declared the US dollar as some form of new gold bar (what it was previously tied to, gold; proof of work). Tying all of FIAT to it. A value that can more easily be arbitrarily changed. And, since then, propaganda reigns supreme and people like you are born. Praising a nonsensical paper as some kind immovable artefact of mankind.
Language evolved.
Law evolved.
Currency didn't evolve.
And, for some reason, you are fighting its evolution.
This is simply not correct. A fiat currency is ultimately bound to the performance of the global economy, so it sure ties into gold mines or the lion teeth gathered by hunters, I've you're so inclined to keep it savage.
The dollar is fundamentally a promise of the US government that they owe you a given amount of money. As long as the US government exists, a dollar is going to have a worth. You may debate the virtue of the US government all you want, but at the same time, there's nobody to give you any such guarantee for a Bitcoin, or an NFT. The moment the market settles for a new plaything, these binary numbers you praise will be entirely worthless. So when I say money, I'm referring to the trustworthiness of its issuer.
The only thing Crypto has brought us is a gambling system rich people use to get richer, and poor people use to loose money; lots of brainlessly burned electricity; a neat way to collect ransomware payouts; and a bunch of Ponzi schemes.
People like you like to feel smarter than anybody else, and I know you'll stay committed to cryptocurrency regardless of any reason. So I will drop out of this discussion here, as it's fruitless.
