I could be misremembering but the Walking Dead season 1 and Game of Thrones season 1 came out around the same time, but didn’t really kill of any major characters until after the f…

I agree with you, but that is literally what ruff is meant to do, and what this person is arguing against.

This seems like a strange hill to die on. Linters don’t consume energy, that’s the entire point. They get everyone on the same standard so that no energy is wasted by anyone on hav…

I work for one of these. Never had a real job, and it shows. They sure can present a slide deck. Organizing a company around a coherent strategy is very clearly beyond them.

I think the point is that if you only voice your criticism the moment they are no longer funding you, it’s not upholding standards and principles, it’s sour grapes

Well they didn’t say 16 years olds should not having access to compute so your point is irrelevant.

Distribution is a subset of use

> If we're doing capitalism people have to be paid somehow, and when people say "free" they don't mean "absolutely". Therein lies the entire issue. Intellectual property is a parad…

Has absolutely nothing to do with the paradox of intolerance. If you have a more substantive criticism, feel free to elaborate.

There’s plenty of licenses that dictate that code can’t be used in commercial applications, or what kind of license derivatives can use.

If they lock it up, they lock it up. They don’t need to be forced to open it up. But they also shouldn’t be able to prevent others for making use of any knowledge gleaned from it. …

First of all, I’d recommend you not accuse others of being intellectually dishonest simply because they have a stance you disagree with. Second of all, “knowledge is free” doesn’t …

I’m guessing 90% of them are mobile gamers exclusively, so no, that is not realistic

What exactly are the facts about AI water usage? I have trouble separating hysteria from reality but most of what I see still claims water usage is enormous

The never-ending discussion of LLM-generated code in binary terms is tiring. It’s either all completely useless slop (which is the author’s stance), or it’s infallible and should b…

There’s a lot of crops that are very intensively bred to create new, specific cultivars. Take a look at all the new Apple varieties popping up. There’s nothing natural about their …

If knowledge is to be free, that means there should be no restrictions on how it is used. Even an open source license misses the point, because the implication is still that one pe…

That’s my point. The AI writing either affects the content or it doesn’t. If you require a disclaimer to tell the difference, then it isn’t affecting the content. Requiring a discl…

I think the need to jump through hoops to disclose anything and anything that might offend someone’s particular sensibilities is a losing battle. What if I want a disclosure on if …

> who wants to work for a leader who is neither powerful nor high-status within their own company? Me. In my limited experience, the more leaders are involved, the less likely the …

What about shooting them in the chest while they drive their car? Or shooting them in the back after they’ve been detained?

The repetition and examples aren’t there for learning. They are there for monetization. This is my biggest issue with the self-help industry. There is a lot of self-help books out …

I spent nearly a decade disgusted with Trump but being contrarian by insisting that it was understandable why voters might support it, even if I felt they were wrong. At this point…

Well it’s not like the budget cuts to science are being redirected to those people. It’s going to the already rich.

What about that makes you think it was written by AI?
