...why would "more than 10x less safe than a human driver" be "not too bad"?

Interesting. My usual approach at home is actually to put a few drops of cooking oil on my hands, which dissolves the grease; regular soap can then remove the oil. I already have some alcohol wipes in my bag as part of an emergency medical

You know what else is a nice thing to carry? A wad of paper towels to get the grease off. Even if someone can repair their own bike, they often don't have a plan for the grease. I've handed out paper towels to 4-5 people this year

Plausible. When I got a new trailer for my bike that could haul 300 lbs I just wanted to find someone who needed a sofa moved for free.

Pretty infuriating to see those chatbot responses. (The emoji -- and the particular choice of emoji -- were a very clear tell.)

Sure it's possible , but are there implementations in use that meet this criterion? Because if there aren't, then it matters substantially less whether they're possible.

To make this more concrete: There are a lot of "legally sanctioned" government actions happening in the US right now that are pretty dubious. That includes digging up old laws and giving them spicy new interpretations that legal e

Wow, that wasn't there from the start? That explains a lot of the comments here.

« When the method was eventually removed, lots of code broke. » Well, removing it earlier would just mean that lots of code would break earlier ...

Are you aware of any age verification systems that do not have this property? (This includes being robust against law enforcement action, legal or otherwise.)

Speaking of which, I made this some years ago: https://www.brainonfire.net/rx/the-joke.png

The point is that lots of the code won't be `unsafe`, and therefore you benefit from memory safety in those parts.

Well, I don't know anyone who takes a full 1 hour lunch break -- back when I was in the office, I reckon it was more like 30-45 minutes? But people at all 4 office jobs I've worked did a standard 9-5 schedule. But yes, "out t

Do you mean sandbagging?

"Actual 9 to 5", meaning the standard 40 hour work week? If someone is telling you to work more than 40 hours a week in a salaried position, and they're not paying out the nose , you're being scammed.

Exactly. A mistake here and there is fine. Dollar Store is clearly on another level.

If anyone is interested in passive sub-ambient cooling (not for power generation, just for "free" cooling) I strongly recommend https://www.youtube.com/@Nighthawkinlight -- he has been doing a lot of experiments i

Yup. My local Star Market was pretty bad about this, so I started paying close attention to prices on the shelf and at the register. Pretty soon I was taking home free items every shopping trip. (I also reported them to Inspectional Service

Cool, so now there are multiple ways to have it happen. That sounds worse.

...what a remarkable thread.

I would generally recommend ignoring observational nutrition studies like this one. There's just a massive amount of bunk science in that area. Correlations all over the place, very little evidence for causation.

"Oh no, my super secret movement data, which is now being made available to a large number of people" would be more accurate.

On the one hand, I don't trust reddit. On the other hand, I don't trust a company that puts ads on their fridges.

This doesn't read as slop to me. I think the author just overuses bold-emphasis and short sentences.

It wasn't confusing, but yeah, it smelled strongly of LLMs.

And added Perplexity to the search engines, and did the tab grouping thing, and took away keyboard shortcut space for the sidebar...

People running a Sandstorm server might be interested in an app in the same vein called Groove Basin. But it's a single shared stream, and you upload tracks to a library and play queue (rather than streaming from one person's own

As it alludes to in the first paragraph, farmers actually have to do a lot of engineering work.

I feel like you're not picking up on the central point of "worse is worse than bad".

Vibe-management and vibe-coding. What a pairing.
