Inferiority complex? I sure as hell know I'll never be as affectionate and caring as Kasper and Soren. They've read all romantic chic lit in the world and I haven't. AI and toys for the women, AI and porn for the men. Gloom.

I don't think the AI argument has merit, but I agree with your general sentiment. Squashing commits destroys part of the signal and makes software archaeology more difficult. There is huge value in a commit history that reflects how th

Spelling and grammar. ChatGPT wrote: "If the answer is yes, the second question would be: does the total cost of those problems at least equal or exceed the amount of investment in these models?" It's phrased better than what

Yes. For example, YouTube channels self-censor to an insane degree to avoid getting demonetized. Streamers don't dare saying fuck or shit in case the ai hears them.

Most content creators have no ad revenue at all and didn't create their videos with the intent to profit from them. Yet they help build YouTube's back catalogue and get nothing in return for it. They have no Patreon accounts or do

Google has exploited network effects and the essentially free labor of millions of content creators to create a video platform no one can compete with. I don't find it the least immoral for me to block ads, while I watch someone play a

I read it and looked at the block diagrams. I still don't get it. You have "data integration problems". Many software share data. Use database. Problems solved.

According to the pure math graduate I know, job prospects are not good. Teaching is what is available, but then you also must have some experience in pedagogy and education.

I think what you have found out is that it is very easy for malicious actors to subvert and infiltrate anonymous online communities. I can promise you that the people running r/worldnews aren't neckbeards and basement dwellers any

He's right, but it has been known for decades that learning by doing is the most efficient way of learning. The reason it is not panacea is because it is hard to measure. A test is easier to administer than reviewing source code to det

I appreciate the reframing—really smart take—but I’d push back on one key point: cost of errors isn’t necessarily what makes CEOs safer than engineers—it’s accountability. As others have pointed out, engineering mistakes lead to immediate,

How did they measure and train for warmth and empathy? Since they are using two adjectives are they treating these as separate metrics? Ime, LLMs often can't tell whether a text is rude or not so how on earth could it tell whether it i

Please, no one is interested in reading your ChatGPT spam. By all means, use LLMs to explore topics and formulate thoughts, but don't copy-paste them. It's tacky, rude, and degrades the conversation. You probably don't apprec

Political activism requires the entity to give a damn. Google doesn't. It was marketing to strengthen the Google brand. Now more money is to be made by sucking up to the Trump regime. Hence, that's what entities whose only real go

Can't you say that about virtually anything? I'm sure having, say, MIDI synthesizers in the kernel would improve performance too, but not many think that is a good idea.

What is the need for mashing more and more stuff into the kernel? I thought the job of the kernel was to manage memory, hardware, and tasks. Shouldn't protocols built on top of IP be handled by userland?

For those that don't know the Old Testament/Torah it might be worthwhile to point out that what you refer to as "moral failings" is not the same as what modern people think are "moral failings". Uncleanliness (
