So what are we calling "using bad AI to kill innocent people"? An oopsy daisy?


I'm sorry if this is stupid - I'm not American and this is entire conversation about taxes here is nuts, but:

>Is the free-filing system designed to maximize your return?

Why does it need to? I mean, why do you need a tax return, if your taxes would be lower if you just got charged the right amount in the first place? And then isn't the role of society to audit their own taxes, and at the same time support candidates that vow to simplify the tax code?


To simplify what is an absurdly complicated topic, the US Tax Code gives you a lot of "breaks" for certain things. For a lot of those things, the government won't know they happened unless you tell them (and you prove it). In most cases (i.e. for regular salaried or hourly employees) your taxes are automatically deducted, and then at the beginning of the new year you basically give the government a list of things that happened that could/would/should reduce your taxable income, which results in you getting money back from the government (sometimes).


Well this is indeed stupid.

> if you just got charged the right amount in the first place?

right amount is loaded phrase. There is big range and disagreement over what is right amount.

> And then isn't the role of society ... to simplify the tax code?

It is about as intelligent as saying isn't it role of society that ensure we all live peacefully, then we don't need armies, defense budgets and so on.


Not only that (and I can't tell if that's what you meant originally), but Factorio had blueprints _before Dyson Space Program came out_.


Google Wave?


yes, that was so wild. What a great tool this could have been.


It is called Google Docs now.

Wave was a good tech demo, but only alter they figured out what the tech can be used for.


The apache version isn't developed anymore but probably still runs


Does AOC own a private jet?



Or you could use the myriad of free and/or open source software including but not limited to GIMP, ImageMagick, and photopea.com.


Another non-video game would hit you with a C&D:

I thought the "static" part of "static file hoster" was clear enough.


Technically that's not twitter's fault. The OP link points to the fourth tweet in the thread, so twitter loads the page with that tweet centered.

This is the actual start of the thread: https://twitter.com/simonw/status/1369705219110498304


It's still Twitter's fault - there should be some indication that it isn't the start of the thread. Normally you'd do it with a scroll bar, but they are forbidden these days apparently.
