I mean yeah, there are a ton of people who are stupid enough to disregard all kind of safety precautions. That doesn't mean the safety precautions are invalid though.

Which is his loss, because it's a great book. I really enjoyed Heinlein's exploration of what is needed to sustain a healthy democratic form of government.

Even if others won't act right, that doesn't mean you have no responsibility to act right. I think his premise is flawed - the idea that we will get an actual intelligence out of the slop machine that is LLMs is laughable - but if

I don't think the 75k number is what's shocking. It's a house that costs 7 figures. That is not remotely attainable for most people in this country.

Also, there's no such thing as being able to give birth and not being female. Many argue that "woman" refers to an internal sense of gender and not the physical reality of one's body, but even in that framework the term

What's wrong with making a friend an account on your server so they can log in? I've done it, it works fine.

Yep. You should never let an LLM have access to the system. It's irresponsible as all get out.

So you recognize that your users will dislike these features. And your solution is to try to hide it, rather than removing the features you know your users won't like? You do you, but that doesn't seem like good product design to

I don't recall the folder names being different, but by default Jellyfin uses different metadata providers than Plex. That means that things like numbering of specials (think BSG and the webisodes), or shows which have a different aire

> I don’t think it’ll work because Plex gates everything with a sign in to their online accounts... That isn't true. You can configure the server with which subnets are trusted, and do not require auth.

For music, I use Navidrome + Symfonium. Not quite as smooth as Plexamp was (and there's nothing on par with Symfonium on desktop), but I disliked having my music and video commingled so it's been worthwhile for me.

Fair enough, but I honestly have not had a single issue with Jellyfin. It really has been on par with Plex for me.

I (also a lifetime Plex Pass user) decided to try it out ~6 months ago, and I've switched over. I haven't had any gaps in functionality yet, though YMMV of course. While it isn't better than Plex (which is still fine for no

People who were not hobbyists learned to use computers, in large numbers, so I don't think your conclusion is accurate. Anyone can learn this stuff with a bare minimum of effort.

"Assembly is the lowest level language we have" is not tantamount to "assembly is low level", so you're ascribing something to the article which it doesn't actually say.

Yes, and you know damn well they are. Stop trolling.

Because that's been the playbook of every tech company for a decade or two. It should be our expectation that this stuff will get an expensive rug pull the instant the companies can get away with it.

Humans do produce errors. But they produce far fewer than LLMs, and they can also learn. Once a person makes a given mistake and realizes what he did wrong, he will take steps to prevent that mistake in the future. LLMs do not do this and t

In my experience, the people who are enamored with LLMs for programming fall into one of three categories. Shills, people who could never program decently to begin with, and people who don't care about the quality of their work. Everyo

I'm really glad to read this. Thanks for putting in the effort to make quality software, far too few people are willing to do that these days.

There's nothing unsanitary about it. The bottoms of your shoes simply are not that dirty unless you're walking through abnormally dirty situations.

I can envision a reasonable case that Star Trek is space fantasy, sure. But I think it's significantly overstating things to say that Trek is just as much space fantasy as Star Wars. There's nothing in Star Trek remotely as fant

> Especially in art, the anti-AI hate mostly reduces to arguing that art is the process not the outcome. It's both. The outcome is bad (boy is it ever bad), and even if it were good I still would rather enjoy art produced by humans.

It does happen, but it's pretty rare. Specifically, the MechWarrior 5 games don't work with my VKB joystick out of the box (had to do some config shenanigans to get that to work), Rome II Total War crashes pretty regularly, and th

Someone disagreeing with you on the interpretation of that event does not make him a Nazi. You need to take many steps back from the polarized thinking you are engaging in, because it ultimately harms you to lash out at people in this way

No, because GCC doesn't randomly fuck up the assembly generation (much less on a fairly frequent basis the way LLMs do). If it did, you bet I'd be reviewing the assembly line by line, or decline to use such a poorly performing too
