Criminals don't care about what is "legal", that's what makes the criminals in the first place and in any case, what are you going to do? Ban encryption entirely? Perhaps we also should ban mathematics and books while w

The battle for AI really needs to be won with FOSS like it happened with Linux. I can't imagine a future where AI is only controlled by the powerful and wealthy. Honestly, we take many of the great things we have thanks to FOSS for gra

This is a ridiculous position to take. You can't simply resolve all kinds of arguments and disagreements before going to bed. Sure, if you have a minor disagreements you might be able to make amends but other issues will take time to b

Practicing Catholic here, Alcholism _is_ Gluttony FYI. Consuming too much of _anything_ is considered Gluttony and more to your point, it's not really ignored. That being said, its one of the capital vices and many people focus on the

I mean it's not like anything is going to happen to them anyway. People will continue to defend and worship Altman until their last drop of blood on HN and elsewhere, consumers will continue using GPT, businesses will keep hyping it up

Of course people on HN are going to defend Sam, why wouldn't they? He has promised us all salvation through AI revolution: The one where finally mankind is saved through technology, hunger is no more and diseases have been cured thanks

Does Sam has any more reputation to burn? Seriously, who would genuinely trust him at this point? I mean I know he has hundreds of blind followers but good Lord, you would think that the man, with all his years of experience had some sense

I mean why would anyone be surprised about this is beyond me? I know many people on this site will not like what I am about to write as Sam is worshiped but let's face it: The head of this company is a master scammer who will do everyt

> local law enforcement is sympathetic to their cause. That is a problem. Regardless of your political views, I would say that yes indeed it is, local law enforcement is too sympathetic to many popular causes. We have witnessed it with B

Corporations should benefit the society and avoid harming it in some shape or form, this is why we have regulations around them.

As another Canadian, I feel the same but I'm not surprised one bit. Canada is actively hostile towards tech and suffers from crippling salaries and investments. The idea of "business" in this country is buying a house and ren

Please stop promoting your product multiple times in the thread, it feels like spam and doesn't add much value to this discussion.

Do you mean the Church is closed? I go to the Church often for worship and the Parishes are open very often, however its best to attend during Mass (Saturday evenings or Sundays) or other Holy days. Also, most Churches plan many community e

That's not the message I got at all, it was like how all of these can be accomplished by this single device. I suppose it would have been cooler if it was the other way around: "iPad somehow expands outwards, filling the room with

Doesn't higher housing processes allows owners to leverage this asset to refinance the house, thus allowing them to purchase a second property whilst they can rent/AirBnb their existing one? Once they have two properties, they can

How is a general purpose computer defined? In any case this argument is moot, the point is that once you purchase something, it's yours and no vendor locks and restrictions should be put on it. You are limiting my choices as a consumer

Why do you think this discussion should be shut down? It seems like there's a significant topic worth exploring here: a tech company with "liberal activism" as a core value is now terminating employees for being political. Se

Right, I always thought this is what TDD is used for, very often I design my code in tests and let it kind of guide my implementation. I kind of imagine what the end result should be in my head (given value A and B, these rows should be X a

He may forgive but I am not sure his soul would have wanted to be with Him, based on what I have seen from him he would rather be in oblivion than an Eternal Church.. Obviously I don’t claim to know his true heart.

I also learned that some people are missing the "mind's eye" and don't have the ability to play music in their head.. I always thought everyone could do those things but then found out that's not case!

I wonder if the reaction from Google would the reaction be the same if they were protesting for LGBTQ? or BLM? or would they be happily cheered on here. And should those employees had been fired, would HN have a melt down about free speech

For a forum where people proud themselves on being logical and rational, I find it quite hilarious that when it comes to identity politics and Musk, all rationality, thought and reason goes out the window. Look, there are plenty of CEOs who

Yes but fines are just a cost of doing business for these companies. They will simply pass on the buck to consumers.

Paul Tillich is definitely interesting, but I find his conclusions deeply unsatisfying and even somewhat "new agey." This is pretty typical of existentialists though. When you search for meaning and purpose, you tend to find it in
