Cool. So what's his company actually doing? Whatever he's proposing, it seems to be a bit self-serving.

They've been teasing aliens dot gov for months and finally released it today. It has nothing to do with extraterrestrials and is just yet another presentation of crimes committed by illegal aliens. Ha ha, get it? So clever.

Get this slop out of here.

The same thing you would call people on this site expressing geopolitical opinions that half of the world might disagree with.

It's the middle of the night in the region, so I don't expect very many human internet users from Israel or Iran right now. This may also explain why so much of the traffic coming out of Iran is flagged as bot traffic. I agree tha

Insofar as it being regular citizens expression their opinions, yes, even if we might not agree with them. I wouldn't call that "pro-hamas propaganda".

I'm not a fan of the Iranian government at all but this is pure Iran Derangement Syndrome. If you thought about this for half a second you'd realize that their "army of digital burglars" has had internet access the entir

My desk is a tiny bit wider, my displays are smaller, and my keyboard and deskmat are smaller too. My monitor arms do take up a ton of space though and make it hard to temporarily increase my working area by pushing my keyboard back. If I h

It's cheating, somewhat, to replace your desk with once that is as wide as two desks. I'm trying to figure out a way to do something similar with only one desk's worth of space.

I chose a black American specifically because they are as closely identified with America as any other group. The natives were here before them, but they don't have the same relationship with the state or the abstract national project.

I don't think I said "Saudi". Why aren't you engaging with the hypothetical as presented?

by platinumrad 5mo ago
Fine, imagine that the researcher is a black American then.

I am genuinely unable to understand because even if the United States is descending into fascism or whatever, research is the last thing that an effective state wants to disrupt and scientists are one of the last groups that an effective st

I genuinely don't understand how the titans of industry who support the Republican party don't understand that science is the foundation on which their entire fortunes are built.

Everyone Claude-outputted site looks the same in a way I don't love.

Every other intellectual and artist was a communist or socialist back then, but not in any way that seriously threatened the state. They all happily worked on the bomb, after all.

I remain completely unimpressed by marketing announcements that boil down to "the LLM wrote a toy version of something for which there are hundreds of undergraduate GitHub repositories in its training data", even if style transfer

You're going to have to expand on this one.

Thanks Trad West.

How likely is it that I have this installed if I'm not a JS developer? It seems like half of the programs on my work computer install their own JS runtime.

How does this differ from Bazel, mise, and Nix?

It remains unbelievable to me that people were rushing to buy an entire Mac Mini to run obscenely bloated software that ought to have been able to run on a Raspberry Pi.

I truly hope something like this catches on. There is so much low hanging fruit in both the C and C++ standard libraries. Spatial memory could be 90% solved in both languages by mandating the use of safe interfaces.

Is this an effort by OpenAI/Anthropic to force US companies to use their more expensive closed-weight models? I don't see the problem with US companies using Chinese models if they are hosted in the US.

Yup.

Not a single post in this comment thread isn't just describing theory.

If we're saying that China has "conquered" places like Tibet and Xinjiang then surely the United States has done much worse to the entire land mass it occupies. But honestly, I'm very much opposed to nationalism so I&#x2

Am I changing the subject? I thought we were discussing treatment of foreigners and I am detailing a very recent example of how the US treated foreigners.

How many schools has it bombed recently?

Yeah that "other thing over here" is totally irrelevant. It's not like it's the actions of the second country in the comparison or anything like that. Suppose country A kills 1000 people and country B kills 1000000 peopl
