If you can't see how obviously in peril the planet is, you're just ignorant. It isn't "alarmist", it's reality . Here's the data I'm basing my opinions on: https://berkeleyearth.org/g

I'm a liberal, and the current administration de-scheduling Marijuana federally is a good thing . Also, a broken clock is right twice a day.

When they stopped measuring compute in TFLOPS (or any deterministic compute metric) and started using Gigawatts instead, you know we're heading in the wrong direction. https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/openai-and-

When I get an obviously AI-generated response from someone I'm trying to do business with, it makes me think less of them. I do value genuine responses, far more than the saccharine responses AI comes up with.

Not too long ago, in a galaxy pretty close to here, there were laptops with removable batteries , and switching them required no tools and took all of about 10 seconds.

The only tech you can trust to be around is the tech you control. And even then it's still a bit iffy if you didn't write all the code yourself and you host it on someone else's servers.

No it isn't. People should be free to use software they like, and not get subterfuge like they get from Apple. What Apple has now is a total monopoly on iOS browsers. It's far worse than what Microsoft did to get sued for antitrus

Me too! If you want to do cool things with a web browser, you sure can't do it with Safari. And how many times have you been told you need to install a specific app to access a specific service? For me it's too many to count.

There's no reason it has to be lightweight, what it has to do is solve Youtube challenges without workarounds due to limited Javascript syntax.

Every programming language is an abomination depending on the perspective.

Apple is the only ones holding anything back on iOS. They forbid any browser except Safari. At least if they let Google Chrome or any other browser maker use their own browser engine, iOS could have a capable browser installed. It is one re

Glad to know you're perfectly fine with lives being ruined for no reason at all.

This has nothing to do with "intoxication" or sleep deprivation, or medical conditions. Some police will lie and charge people with "DUI" when there is zero justification, and they ruin lives because too many of them are

I still use Fiddler Classic, at least once a week when I need to dig-in on a problem. It occasionally gets an update though I can't remember the last time it did. It's so powerful, especially with the JScript scripting language. S

"approved use" is usually just someone that doesn't understand what the software does. I recently had the IT team at my work ban VNC client , they didn't understand it wasn't VNC server , which I could understand

Dev tools is an "inspector" and limited in scope, like a butter knife, a real proxy tool is like a Swiss Army knife.

Fun fact, you can be arrested for DUI on a bicycle, and it counts the same as if you were driving a car.

They also frequently arrest people who have not had any alcohol or drugs at all for being "drunk". It happens far too often. Just one example of many: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFuVdlKD00s

The levels described are actually pretty low. The "legal limit" is so low for THC that anyone who's had THC in the previous days could test positive, even if they aren't "high" at the time of driving. It isn&#x

You realize that Zuck is trying to produce AGI, which is a money pit deeper than anything he's ever thrown money away on.

Well it's probably nowhere near the size of the money-pit that "AI" currently is in.

I have no doubt that Microsoft has already classified the nature of my work and quality of my code. Of course it's probably "anonymized". But there's no doubt in my mind that they are watching everything you give them
