From the article: > This is a good instinct: one of the virtues of democracy is the way that it gives people a feeling of control over their own lives. People who believe that they can rein in AI companies through votes and laws and reg

> "jobs are going to still exist you just can't imagine them!" Ironically, this makes even less sense. If (ostensibly) the goal of developing LLMs was so we can all create more while working less, but he also assures us

In writing code, yes. But has there been an actual positive impact in other fields?

You will have lots of dead code in your build. That dead code might have "dead dependencies" - transitive dependencies of its own, that it pulls in even though they are not actually used in the parts of the crate you care about. I

This is correct. I think the difference is that the PIN actually is an effective tool that parents can use to keep their kids from watching this stuff. It's also default-deny as the PIN is pre-set, and the parents would have to make

Which is why the age restriction would apply to "normal" social media as well?

Broadcast TV had a very simple solution to this problem: Only air the not-for-kids stuff at times of the day when the kids are already asleep, i.e. late in the evening or at night. It was still the job of the parents to set the bed times et

I remember some users with phpBB signatures some 20 years ago that did the "I know where your IP address lives" trick. Yeah, a bit surprised this is still being done, only today not as some silly troll move in a forum but on some

Ah, that makes sense. I didn't realize from the screenshot that the colored circles are radio buttons. If the change for the "before/after" color bars only removes the gray space between the bars, I think this is an impr

Not a Photoshop user, so I may be misinterpreting that, but doesn't this outright remove some functionality from the hue/saturation panel? That "global colors" dropdown seems to be gone and the two "before/afte

I found it interesting that congress never took issue with any other social media platform, and was fine with TikTok once again as well after it was sold to an American owner. So looks like politicians never had any problem with the addicti

I'm sorry. Yeah, agreed that this was too much. I was angry because I have seen quite often pushback against regulation that tries to elevate "innovation" as a value in itself, that even trumps other considerations such as sa

I think what's also telling is Polymarket's non-reaction to this. If there are obvious concerns that the outcome was manipulated, I'd expect them to invalidate the bet - otherwise they're effectively incentivising manipu

Same as with "crypto" which doesn't have any more to do with cryptography either... I wonder if that was a side effect of all the William Gibson style scifi gaining a browser audience. Originally, the "cyber" in &qu
