I've used LLMs to help with decompilation since the original release of GPT-4. They're excellent at recognizing the purpose of functions and refactoring IDA or Ghidra pseudo-C into readable code.

> how many jobs are in a walkable / bikeable distance now vs. 1925? Probably the same amount. The only difference is that people are willing to commute farther for a job than someone would've in 1925.

This sounds like sovereign citizen or "freeman of the land" nonsense, but the one kernel of truth is that when people grow tired of the government, the inevitable end is a revolution, whether violent or nonviolent.

I speak only regarding the view expressed in the U.S. Constitution[0]. Other cultures may view it differently, but in my opinion, the US is where copyright is most out of control (save for a few other nations, such as Japan). [0] https:&#x

I find it strange how people are so invested in spiting $BigCorpThatMightDoBadThing that they're willing to harm the public at large as well.

I think your comment is supposed to be a gotcha, but I support killing copyright, so I don't think I'm interpreting it the way you intended.

OpenAI's mistake was not deleting the messages about the deletion too. Really, these are rookie mistakes. You set an internal policy for short retention times and delete everything with few exceptions. Then if anyone asks why something

> They often have complicated auth systems, etc. The paranoia audio devs have with piracy is insane. Ironically I think the worse your DRM is, the more your product should be pirated :)

I think the crazy kidnappers might have another reason for doing it other than lacking skills.

It's because mail fraud carries significant penalties, and the involvement of physical objects makes activity much more traceable.

Man, if only it were so easy to leave a country that starts wars. It's not as if the average citizen has little control over that or anything.

The difference is that Bloomberg Terminals were always expensive, and so people expected to pay. LLMs are basically free (subsidized) at this point, and people are very sensitive to large price increases.

The only thing more insufferable than the "AI do everything and replace everyone" crowd is the "AI is completely useless" crowd. It's useful for some things and useless for others, just like any other tool you'

I've genuinely never seen anyone outside with one; I haven't even seen anyone online mention them outside vague memes I do not understand. I don't use TikTok or any of the hyperconsumerist social media platforms.

I think the fact that regular stores are now stocking high-seas set top boxes is more proof that streaming is too overpriced now and media companies are too greedy.

It's the Internet protocol. End users are not supposed to interact with it directly. What exactly would replace IPv6? It's just an implementation detail, but an important one if you want to make the rest of the stack suck less.

The Windows kernel has certainly improved—BSODs are now rare—but the userspace has only gotten worse. The end result is a decline in usability and dozens of new ways for your OS to enter a permanently unusable state without a BSOD.
