> I agree this is very sane and boring. What is insane is that they have to state this in the first place. I don't think it's insane. It seems reasonable that people could disagree about how much attribution and disclosure the

Okay, I got that part wrong, but doesn't the fact it was edited out make it even more convincing there' a coverup? There's not even plausible deniability when it's been edited.

It blows my mind that people still think Epstein is just a big conspiracy theory and nothing happened. Pam Bondi said Epstein's black book was on her desk ready to be released, and then a month later she said it didn't exist. She

I think we're going to see a lot more of it. The job market's shit, it's nearly impossible for young people to buy houses or pay rent, well paying jobs are disappearing to AI, inflation is sky rocketing and people are getting

It seems like it. I just stopped using a "windowed full screen" extension that did this.

I'm so used to magit, it seems kind of primitive to pipe git output around like this. Anyway, I can glean a lot of this information in a few minutes scrolling through and filtering the log in magit, and it doesn't require memorizi

The rules didn't have to be reinvented - web/mobile devs chose to ignore them.

That's pretty optimistic. First of all, the people who were manually toiling are getting laid off - LLMs aren't exactly making their lives better. And I'm not talking about cases where an AI can do things faster. We have a

The site's down entirely anyway. The silly "proof of work" finishes only to tell me the site is down. What a waste of time.

I don't know why you think I'm upset. It's not my responsibility to fix the world's problems. But I don't have much faith in humanity to make things better, so I'm not sure I'd want to see a future with a

What a condescending comment. It's too bad I can't vote you down.

LOL, I love the idea of ChatGPT telling scam victims to wire money to OpenAI's account. Finally, a profit source!

No doubt. The company I work for uses a contracted recruiter for hiring, and the other day he was telling me that they're seeing a huge amount of scams, fake candidates, and "hands off" applications where people are trying to

How they're raised makes a big difference, but natural instinct is natural instinct. It's just like how chihuahuas were bred to be small, but pit bulls were bred to fight other dogs.

Considering Apple is one of the largest companies in the world, raking in money, what consequential effects are you talking about? It certainly doesn't seem to hurt their bottom line, which is the only thing they care about. As a sof

Sorry, but what this is supposed to be. It's just a spinning WebGL model? I wish they would rewind back to using Presto and being an independent Norwegian company, but I'm sure everybody who made it a great browser back then is l

What's with this silly "all lower case" style lately? Jack Dorsey's layoff message last month did the same thing. Is it some kind of "Prove you're not an AI by purposely writing like an idiot" or something

Yeah, count me out. I don't even like how the world's played out in the 40 years I've been here. Imagine waking up in 200 years and finding out 90% of the world is still poor, we can't feed everybody, the rich still ge

IME here in Colorado, a lot of them pay as well, or better, than run of the mill tech companies. I suspect the AI and "FAANG" companies may pay more, but I personally wouldn't work for any of those. In any case, I'd tak

If there were any justice, after jail these fraudsters would be working low paying jobs like fast food and retail, and the CEO jobs would go to people who haven't been convicted of fraud. But of course they'll leverage their conn

I'm pretty sure 95% of the success of all internet and tech companies boils down to extreme luck and being in the right place at the right time. Any time one of the founders is giving advice, always take it with a huge grain of salt.

I don't think that conclusion really follows because I don't think the ban works that way. There's a big difference between ChatGPT writing a prescription and a doctor double checking his diagnosis using some kind of Claude c

I've never heard of anybody doing it, but in theory it could work. SBCL (and maybe others) use a "core image" to bootstrap at startup. It's not unheard of for people to build a custom core image with the packages they u
