You can always fork it if you disagree with the direction of development. Everyone of course knows perfectly well that it’s not anywhere near that level of concern in reality, one might say just concern trolling in fact. But if you and enou

if the concern is that iterm2 can’t get through a finance industry audit anymore, why would anyone install a shell (ie extremely privileged software) from some rando? What’s your plan for providing security audits and ongoing patching and u

No, it’s the opposite and some people very obviously have an AI Pessimism Overload at this point. People need to grow the fuck up about whatever particular aspect of AI is making them personally salty (there are a number of common answers)

In fairness, it's also a longer lifetime with more socially-productive time etc - obesity has a somewhat higher cost-intensity-per-year than a comparable fit citizen, probably. But we already live in the society where very little is s

There’s pretty solid evidence that lifetime healthcare spending is actually lower for obese people, even in European countries with better allocation towards younger populations. In the US, it’s definitely cheaper to have people dying young

You can’t have it both ways though, if an AI can’t hold copyright and is merely a tool being used by a human engineer who bears legal responsibility and ownership, then the concept of “code that was not written by yourself” is completely in

There is also a nexus with the reward system of the brain in general, and semaglutide definitely seems to have effects similar to ADHD medication in these respects. It also seems to help alcoholism for the same reasons - it helps reduce the

So, you are just building a huge pool of personally-identifiable data that you are holding onto for no commercial or business reason or benefit to the user? You’re literally the reason the law was passed. Don’t do that. Like what happens wh

Sure they are. Just not infallible/perfect, but yes, they certainly are capable of mixing up inputs and coming up with something that’s not in the input set. No, they won’t come up with a totally new set of concepts and axioms that are

this is quite a straightforward reality for many people and calling it a “fantasy escape world” and “uncharitable” is itself miserly and uncharitable, and classic HN rules-lawyering in a nutshell. like yes people do like using loud power to

it's always odd when people latch onto that as an example, because the west has definitely had politically-induced holodomors caused by over-export of staple crops as well. classically, the irish potato famine comes to mind. you can pr

M1 Max beat 5950X in overall single-threaded SPEC2017 when it came out. It won big in some MT workloads too. Punching within its own weight class, laptop chips rather than expecting it to outright beat desktop chips... it beat the 5980HS a

I understand it can be difficult to have someone point out that you're not approaching a situation in good faith, but that's not exactly "relentless insults". It can be difficult to handle the intimation that maybe there
