I wish I could be this confident about the future.

I too love it when US imperialism invades digital spaces, just ignore how the US treats people critical of its own government (not just referring to the Trump admin here) then yeah sure great. Let me know when this can ignore malware/a

You can't be careful at all doing this, this is like smoking a cigarette in a dynamite factory. Using LLMs for therapy is so deeply dystopian and disgusting, people need human empathy for therapy. LLMs do not emit empathy. Complete dis

People forget that AI is trained on mediocre writing too, not everything a person writes is fire. Most of it is a mediocre, too long, and hard to understand; just like the outputs you get from LLMs.

They're a perfectly fine replacement if you care about FOSS and OSS, unlikely github + msft.

Disagree the only alternative is to let the people decide, I don't trust a dozen men that already have deeply undemocratic beliefs to dictate the direction of tech for society. You are against democracy, I am not. Democracy has led to

It's DT, don't expect honesty from his posts (unless he is bashing unions or workers, he's very honest about that).

This case looks like pure marketing fluff rather than sound engineering tho.

Seems fair to me, they're a nonprofit that exists in our lived reality and not an abusive monopolist that can literally throw a billion dollars to subsidize loss leaders. All it shows the world is why there needs to be a VAT like tax a

Being afraid to do things because they might possibly, but never proven, be worse is just the political machinations of enforcing the status quo where our corporate overlords get to dictate how technology shapes our lives. I'm sorry bu

Because some hostile entity might rat fuck the a slightly better system, we're destined to use the same current shitty system because something better might have a downside? Do you understand that this is all literally made up? The rul

Okay but this person is literally saying that listening with LLM tools isn't helping their understanding and they have to still read the paper... why listen at this point? Why listen using a tool that literally causes you to do more wo

Okay but since we know how humans actually behave, they will fully trust the indeterministic machine and give away their thinking. Sadly there is a large swath of humans that will act like this, maybe 20-30%. Are you willing to put your lif

Okay but the user is describing listening to papers, then having to read the papers because listening to them isn't efficient. So why bother listening to it in the first place if you're going to read it?

Seems too subjective. I don't think it'll take off.

Just listen to actual audio books... literally doing double the work for no benefit... why?

You don't think capitalists are able to generate profit off of these LLMs currently? Why not? Are they just stupid or something?

Yes but EA Origin was still very consumer friendly at that time. They were one of the only people offering digital refunds at the time. Being able to refund a game on origin then buying a different one on steam was definitely a peak in cons

You're right they don't have a board and definitely weren't punished by both the FTC/DOJ for anti-trust and manipulative business practices. Just a small mom and pop shop that somehow seems to elude themselves from the t

Always thought the hate against EA Origin was unwarranted. They 24 hour no questions ask refund policy back in ~2010 that took steam like 5 years to implement themselves. Outside of being forced to use a game launcher to launch their games,

This is cool! I wanted to make a basic CRUD form to update meta data and was considering go, lots of neat libraries to take a look at. Interesting that it uses charmbracelet libraries to create the terminal components. I often have a hard t

Of course it's enough, the problem is greed. They must perform ritual sacrifices to appease the market gods.

I've been working as a frontend dev for about 11 years. I've only ever used react for a majority of projects, also doing all kinds of work: porting angular projects into react, refactoring legacy react projects into modern react,

Oh wow so the judicial system is developing the software? It's not a private company that only exists to fulfill a government need with zero accountability? What were the terms of their contract? What was their SLA? How do users engage

Is this comment a joke or do you not understand how dangerous it is to ask a driver to blow into a breathalyzer while operating a vehicle? All this seems to be is a company collecting corporate welfare while doing the bare minimum. Such com

The type of work matters and understanding how capital interacts with labor is something that hasn't really changed over the last 150 years (not the first time productivity tools have been introduced in capitalism). All we are going to

Have you ever organized with your community before? No offense but you come across as a libertarian trying to monetize social relationships. It comes across as deeply human. It also declares that people have no agency, it's just a path

This company is part of the portfolio of a $trillion+ transnational corporation. The idea that we can't judge them, when they clearly have more resources than 99% of other companies on this planet, doesn't hold up to any scrutiny.
