Blaming AI is gonna be the security breach equivalent to blaming ddos when your website breaks isn't it.

Isn't this where the research plan implement loop comes in though? Assuming comprehension used effectively? You should be learning alongside the llm through the research phase of anything. Updating your understanding of what is possibl

Lets generalise a bit more here - every company at any time could completely heel-turn and do awful things. Even my favourite private companies (e.g. Valve) have done things that I would consider evil. However, I would think I'm not al

The problem with that logic is that its clear now that Tesla is run by someone who is has directly said that we can wait 50-100 years to set up a sustainable energy economy, and is currently working against federal scientific bodies. Combin

I'd be surprised if they weren't using climate change data in their modellin/planning. Whether you are trying to reduce emissions or ignoring it is a separate concern than finding appropriate projected climates for agricultur

I think the idea is that this keyword list will be expanded to include climate change etc over time, or some similar uncontroversial topic scientifically, but controversial socially/religiously that will reduce USA's scientific ou

I know it's overused, but I do find myself saying YAGNI to my junior devs more and more often, as I find they go off on a quest for the perfect abstraction and spend days yak shaving as a result.

Like almost anything in IT, if you are good at using a hammer, you treat everything like a nail.

You certainly can legislate freedoms. The biggest news of last year was enabling legislating away access to abortion in many states for example. Internet freedom is harder to legislate, but with enough backing you can legislate things in a

I think that rather avoids one of the best parts of hacker news - getting the vision/justifications from the creator directly.

While I'm not saying most people by far aren't doing it to save money, I have bought switch games and then emulated them just to try the graphics at 4k 60fps that isn't possible on the console. That's the part I'm s

I think they were referring to CIFS. Not the innocence project.

To be fair, it's a definite truth that shows get more chance of funding based on what is popular and how it fits into that perceived potential popularity. So TBBT is a part of the overall zeitgeist, an example of a show of its type tha

Doping is probably still common, but the more endurance or speed based the more drugs help. Soccer values attributes drugs exaggerate - but it has a skill component that is more important vs cycling. Soccer also has breaks and substitutes a

I don't really see why it would be surprising. He is an influential figure that is greatly impacting tech, culture and politics. For better or worse is up to the individual opinion, but its not really weird to have a strong view on a p

I never though so either, but then I worked at a place that had a stale product, product teams powerless and developers rejecting most features/writing random code all the time. It took me a month to realise that the staff developers v

Have they been diagnosed medically? Because plenty of people say they are OCD too, but they don't mean the diagnosed condition. And it's quite different to "being tidy and needing things to be ordered" that the common ve

ADHD can be debilitating when severe. It's a truly awful condition that is not the "can't concentrate need to play games all day!" Condition the 00's characterised it as.

To an extent, this is true, but take it too far and you begin dismissing education and well grounded logic and believing it to be equivalent to ignorant and irrational thought. Logical thinking and analysis is a skill you learn and get bett

Minecraft Java edition isn't really that though. Roblox is in a class of its own compared to fortnite and minecraft in terms of toxic monetisation. Online gaming is definitely a tough one to navigate though, regardless. I had no proble

Along similar lines to what you are saying, I think one of the more general problems that I see with titles is that people do tend to gravitate around specific industries/sizes of companies, even within IT, and then tend to associate t

I would quibble on relating the idea of selfish donation in the personal satisfaction sense, with the monetary and brand reward sense. Two different concepts that should be looked at separately.

It's an interesting experience reviewing a "smart" solution you wrote years ago, and happening upon it again. It's like opening a time capsule to yourself and getting nothing but a punch in the face.

Really dumb question from someone who barely knows this stuff, but does quantum computing in theory reduce that size again if it takes off in the future?

I think you can go more detailed on that and say physical controls for common, quick inputs especially ones people use while they are driving and you don't want them to look down for. Touch screen is fine for setup screens, extra info
