The thing is, I want smart features, I just don't want those smart features to be tied to the display. A separate box allows more consumer choice, which is generally a better experience. Easily flashable firmware would be an acceptable

I didn't misread, you're missing the point. I'm saying your argument for infringing on the second amendment is equally valid for infringing on the first. (Which is to say, not very valid at all.)

So we should take away people's rights to "read crazy things on the internet" then, right? Because the right to not be killed is more important. Do you see the problem with that sort of thinking?

by Ajedi32 10mo ago
Since 1791, the right to be armed has been considered a fundamental human right in the US, on the same level as freedom of speech and religion. You're fighting an uphill battle by trying to argue we should take away people's funda

They got away with accidentally unlawfully killing a man while doing an inherently dangerous job by the book. You can blame the system for that certainly and propose changes, but I don't think it's fair to charge the officers wi

I think it's not quite as bad as you're making it out to be. If Apple's abuse of their position became truly intolerable GP is correct: people would stop buying their products. Apple knows this, and that limits how aggressi

That's a very different argument about a hypothetical future problem that may or may not ever actually materialize. (I'd argue given the current trajectory of AI it probably won't for the foreseeable future.) But yes, if we d

You've spent your whole life living in a society where that's already happened. 1000 years ago nearly everyone was employed in agriculture. Now nearly all those jobs are automated. So you tell me: where are the consumers? Why aren

by Ajedi32 11mo ago
Land is one thing you can't automate the production of, and construction still consists mostly of manual skilled labor. But I think despite that you'll find housing today still compares very favorably to housing 100 years ago (in

I hadn't heard of Agnos before, interesting alternative to ACME-DNS. Looking at the README, is the idea that the certificates get generated on the DNS server itself? Not by the ACME client on each machine that needs a certificate? That

by Ajedi32 11mo ago
Oh, sweet! I didn't know about this. I have no need of wildcard certs, but this will greatly simplify the process of issuing certificates for internal services behind my local firewall. No need to maintain an acme-dns server; just conf

The same place they've always gone: to consumers purchasing the products made by those automated processes. The average person now is far wealthier in terms of actual purchasing power than the average person 100 years ago, and that&#x2

I think it's fine to discuss solutions to hypothetical future problems as long as it's clear that these are hypothetical future problems you're talking about, not present reality. In many of these discussions that line seems

My phone that I purchased is not "their" platform. Better analogy would be if Wal-Mart sold me a fridge and then somehow managed to make it so I can only store groceries purchased from Wal-Mart in that fridge. Now if anyone wants

> why would the court allow Apple to act as a gatekeeper for their competitors Yeah, this is the fundamental problem, and not something this court ruling does anything to fix. Apple has full control over what software its competitors are

Agreed. But obtaining such a token/proof would still be an additional barrier kids would have to actively bypass, so while I don't think that's the best implementation I don't think it's correct to say there's

The free speech argument is that these ID checks aren't just being applied to porn sites; there's a push to make social media websites (probably the largest hubs of free speech in the modern world) do them too. That's a much

IMO it would make sense to tie into the trademark system. Allowing companies to build a brand reputation and protect it from impersonators is literally the whole point of that part of our legal system. Imagine if only the owner of the McDon

You claim to know, yet you still make statements that are obviously foolish given said knowledge? Imagine applying this logic to other industries: > The existence of folding phones inundates phone manufactures with orders for devices wit

I often wonder if people who make these kinds of statements simply don't know how market forces work, or if they know how market forces work but just choose to pretend they don't exist in certain contexts where that reality feels

That's part of it, but I think another part is just the way the LLMs are tuned. They're capable of more conversational tones, but human feedback in post-training biases them toward a writing style that's more of a Quora &#x

If hypothetically they did have pure intentions, would that make it okay? I know very little about the politics of India, so I have no idea whether what you said is an objective assessment or if it's just the political talking points o

That seems like a good idea in the sense that it's better than separate apps for everything, but it's also probably the wrong level of abstraction. For example: what happens if you try to create a group chat containing an RCS user

Are GitHub creds any harder for malware to steal than NPM creds? I don't see how that helps at all.

If people stop running install scripts, isn't Shai-Hulud 3: Electric Boogaloo just going to be designed to run its obfuscated malware at runtime rather than install time? Who manually reviews new versions of their project dependencies

It looks like this shows where each account was originally created from. So new accounts can get around it, but all existing accounts that didn't have the foresight to be using a VPN from the start are now burned. Going forward this is

Wild how much people seem to care about how a random guy probably thousands of miles away runs his business. Even if you lived in Manchester I don't see why this would be such a big deal. Annoying, sure. But is it really so bad to have

by Ajedi32 11mo ago
Exactly. There's absolutely no reason why I should even need a phone number in 2025. All person-to-person communication (text, call, video, file transfer, etc) should just be an open standard running on TCP.
