Capital does what serves it best. Values are little more than a fig leaf in capitalism. After all, how many of us sacrifice our income for our values? A very few, indeed.

Am AuDHD. To be direct: this is a recipe for failure in a neurotypical world. I agree with you with regard to the resulting personal relationship quality. However, there is a *massive* practical/economic cost. I worked in Tech for 30 y

Even more: mRNA. Trump is trying to kill mRNA research because he sees it as tied to the politics of COVID. Good science is not political. Politicians making it so are idiots at best and evil at worst. See also "Hanlon's Razor&quo

To me, as an HD widower, it would have meant that my dead wife would had lived until 2043 and had a decade more of a mostly normal life.

It always seemed that an mRNA treatment was going to be the way forward for treating HD, speaking as an HD widower. And here my government is actively working to suppress mRNA therapies because of fucking politics. Fuck them.

There's little money to be made with HD. It's a 1 in 30,000 disease. There's been little reason for anyone other than state sponsors to support its treatment. Add this to the reason's to be disgusted by capitalism. Spoke

If we're talking about the US, that's a straw man. There was a study that made objectively clear that the right is several times more actively violent than the left. "Both sides" is a euphemistic fig leaf of an argument

I got into Ruby and the community in 2006. I aspired to be like Jim. We all should. He made time for anyone who wanted to engage him in a sincere discussion. He helped a lot of newer people. He wrote beautiful tools that we still use. He em

Yep. I think he retired in the late 00's. Lovely guy.

This, here, is the right answer. Pity it's so far down in the comments. Capital does what is good for capital. What is good for capital will inevitably deviate from what is good for a community.

I started using Ruby almost 20 years ago. I've been to a boat load of Ruby conferences. I even ran a hippy dippy Ruby event on the east coast for about 10 years. It was welcoming. Then 2016 happened. Then some Rubyists began spewing ha

Are these flagged posts just buried if you're not using Algolia/API to view HN? Glad that I am using the former.

Oh, look. Another post that alt-right people would hate. And it's flagged. I think I see a pattern...

Yes, please. The iOS Music app has been getting worse for years.

Kind of you to respond! Thanks! I have pretty bad ADHD. And I've only run locally using kobold; dilettante at DIY AI. So, yeah, I'm a bit lost in it.

Flagged. Of course. It's technology meets politics and it's anti-alt-right so of course someone has to flag it.

But you can get one of these quantized models to run effectively on a 3090? If so, I'd love detailed instructions. The guide you posted earlier goes over my (and likely many others') head!

How long before the AIs are leasing the meetings? I think of the scene, in Real Genius, where a tape recording of a teacher lecturing is playing to an auditorium of students' tape recorders capturing the lecture. Better still, of cours

This is a common misunderstanding. Speaking against the current violent regime in Israel is anti-zionism and not anti-semitism.

The top comments read like HN of a decade or two ago when armchair exporting was rampant. Paraphrasing: "I, an engineer, am smarter than an economist therefore the article is wrong." Nothing of value to be found at the top of the

Exactly. Seems more likely that it's driven but much higher interest rates than AI. AI is likely just how these businesses are trying to justify why/how they've laid off more workers instead of asking the remaining people to
