If the online hate doesn't translate into physical violence and security threats - than, at least for me, the answer is a simple 'yes'. I would be surprised to find out if it isn't the case for but a statistically small

I'm exactly the same; I also don't have anything 'visual' in my head at all - no images, shapes, or similar - only words, or music.

Pretty sure he can afford a couple of bodyguards to prevent most of the cases like that.

Is bodily autonomy a recognized right in any sense? Is there a society that actually respects the right to bodily autonomy legally or in practice - meaning, using any drugs at will, the right to suicide, to agree to being eaten by a friendl

Well, different people want different things - I'd rather spend a millisecond to click 'refuse' rather than let them track me - out of spite if nothing else. Yes, cookie banners are annoying; the dark patterns within cookie b

This completely ignores issues like food addiction (which is a hell of a drug - some of the, say, top obesity candidate genes are expressed in brain), an overabundance of sugar in the diet, and lack of anything that resembles a decent food

I would't store company data or code outside of approval services, but one might say that my notes, including notes on the people I meet and projects I work on, can constitute proprietary information - so yeah, it is a bit of a grey ar

Not the OP, but personal files are not just vacation pictures. I work in R&D and I have my org-mode/roam on various scientific and technical topics going back 15 years or so. I use these for work to benefit my current company, and

While tinkering for the sake of tinkering is as good of a hobby as any other, the process of tailoring your OS's does not have to be infinite. Maybe it is different for others, but while I did spent a lot of time on writing my Linux do

I am somewhat like that myself. I do formulate a plan and break down tasks in advance, but I give myself an absolute right to change and modify it at will whenever new ideas come to light or just because I'm feeling like it.

Stalingard was a trap for the 6th Army, which was beyond overextended and undersupplied. I have a strong prior that giving up Stalingrad and allowing Germans and their allies to resupply would've caused even more causalties, especially

Why on earth would accepting refugees make them complicit? Is Poland complicit in the Russian attack on Ukraine because they allowed the refugees in?

I suspect that's due to the misleading nature of the 'public research, privitized profits' trope. The reality is that publically-funded biomedical (for the lack of better word) science does not generate anything production-re

It's a shame, really, that we live in a world where a way to show the finger to all these corporate guardrails exists and is easily available - but it cannot get enough traction and receives a strong, and I think unnecessary, cultural

Is Java truly dead for desktop? I like Rust, don't get me wrong, but is there anything written in Rust for desktop on the scale of Jetbrains IDEs?

I can really recommend yabai for window management. I have reached a nearly identical config between my work mac with yabai/xkhd and my i3wm-based linux workstation.

Does he actually "represents tech"? I am really not sure about that.

Why is China finished? They have manufacturing, talent, and a large internal market - and whatever financial problems they might be facing are rather virtual.

I did that (moved to a Scandinavian country), and it was an undeniably poor choice from a financial perspective - or rather a chain of poor choices that looked correct at the time. Paying almost 40% of my income that is rather low by global

I don't see myself doing millions of tasks on 70b+ models. Work pays for more gpt4 that I can chew; I can run up to 30b models on my mac with a decent speed, and I can use mistral APIs when I travel without powering my own home server.

Mistral API has a flag in the json payload to remove guardrails.

In my experience it is comparable with chatGPT 3.5 but is more expensive (I still use it cause I hate guardrails).

I couldn't find it either. Fortunately, I downloaded the genotypes in July.

That is why this should’ve never been about sideloading apps, but mandating a right to have root access.

But why? What if an average deaf child is happier than an average hearing child because of their community support, culture, and the sense of identity? I don't know anything about the lives of deaf people - but it definitely looks like

The answer is, unfortunately, yes, you probably should. I am in the same boat and have an expectation to receive the sharp end of the stick eventually. Not that the exit strategy is self-evident...
