You have a good point about the human rate of mathematical discovery, but Ayer was an idiot and later Witt contradicted early Witt. For the "already implicit" claim to be true, mathematics would have to be a closed system. But it

This "car-tinkering app" is used as a glorified GameShark for deleting factory emissions controls, I don't feel sorry for anyone who uses this to roll coal or whatever. Instead of investigating everyone on the list of users o

Everyone knows git is decentralized. What people are searching for is a space for the social component of development such as issue tracking. Being able to reference lines of codes in issues is a killer feature of github. Gitea and gitlab d

I sort of always expect there to be an LPE to root on Linux tbh, if anything this is great news and Linux might be a useful multiuser system after all.

To add to your point: Someone should let the author know that considering oneself informed and taste-driven is itself cheugy. The performative aspect is the essence of cheug. So I hope he was being ironic. Costco itself, in a way, is a sort

The screenshots for Red P method look pretty basic. Breaking Bad had more detail. And anyone can write a basic keylogger, the hard part is hiding it. And the carfentanil steps looks pretty basic as well, honestly I think that is the industr

In my opinion, the article should be classified as harmful speech for containing polarizing language about conspiracy theories. We live in an era of rampant disinformation, we should stop polarizing people. Therefore this article is harmful

I believe the mechanism, at its core, is that engineering or anything technical is to some degree a competitive field (not as in pay, but as in having clear performance differences between who is good and who is bad). This means any newcome

I agree, doxxing yourself to some shady gray-market adjacent data broker is not acceptable as age verification, and age verification was safer using the honor system as before. But for some communities, especially social media communities,

Everyone should have abandoned ship sooner, namely when they were consuming content for Copilot without permission. When it became obvious that pushing your code to GitHub meant giving it directly to Microsoft I stopped using it altogether

Social media is a cancer today. When I read news like this, I think "darn kids will never know how good we had it, the internet was for nerds and not hostile!" But as I roll that thought over in my head I wonder, was the internet

The special forces soldier bet on his team's success. He risked his life. His bet would not alter his behavior in anyway incongruous with mission objectives. Is that really that bad if the direction of the bet isn't unethical? He

Is this due to Mythos and other LLMs finding a bunch of obscure bugs or simply a precaution? If someone (a normie not a gentooman) wanted to run Linux on retro hardware how would they do it? Boot Debian Sarge?

This is probably not top-level worthy and I'm going to hell for this but this reads like slop. Maybe I have trust issues with content now, because everything looks like slop. But I am pretty sure I can get that essay out of claude and

I'm tired of iTerm2 - ssh conductor - AI features almost forced on us until the community complained - clickable links I just want a dumb, reliable terminal. Is that too much to ask?
