Made it through the account migration. But later lost my account after some hacker compromised my microsoft account. Microsoft kindly let me know about some unauthorized access, an…

some things never change. Pre AI I was always shocked that such large and complex systems actually run as well as they do. Especially after getting to see how the sausage is made/w…

No it wont. There's already one state in the union that has dipsensed with the silly time changes, Arizona. I've lived there for ~7 years while an adult, or about 20% of my life, n…

>we'll just add this feature on as some async verification since it takes a while, then make the original update wait in some weird state for it to finish. Later, when users are co…

this right here, our issue is mostly the accountability. Accountable people are much less likely to apply force when not needed. Trying to remember some citations, but there's real…

why not? if its a professional force. plenty of other countries people use as models have military and police linked together, imo we're (USA) just missing the punishment part. Nee…

Sure but my point is still that its Arabic and not inherently violent etc. whereas the holocaust is a specific genocidal event.

I think the word has been twisted a bit, to compare it to holocaust is imo insane. I've known people named Jihad.

That's not what it means, but go off. Although yes it is generally used pejoratively, and if you are using the term, its for a rhetorical effect.

I believe he is referencing the proletariat masses, the rabble, etc.

That's literally always possible? The idea is to put up walls and fail-safes to minimize the chance.

Never considered that, but mentioning flags that have minimal "history" pushed me in a totally different direction about some modern political transnational movements lol.

Amercian is imo the worst airline out there, and the only one I refuse to fly with. At least the budget airlines are cheaper and honest for horrible service.

You are severely overestimating the average, or even above average understanding of LLMs.

I enjoy that you are framing this as somethings that "may" happen in the future.

Probably also a bit of liability. After all its been trained on a dataset that includes a long running joke of trying to trick people on the internet to unknowingly create chlorine…

Japan is also way thingger than America, which the article points out: > The US spends ~$14,570 per person on healthcare. Japan spends ~$5,790 and has the highest life expectancy i…

debt doesn't harm you until the carrying costs become to high v profits. Just have to hit that point (if is exists, maybe growth accelerates forever if you are optimistic).

The third worldization of the USA continues at pace. Expensive reasonable enclaves for the rich, nothing for the rest.

Scalia wrote some really interesting opinions for sure. Feel like the arguments are only going to get worse :(

Hasn't this already been observed with not too stable individuals? remember some story about kid asking ai if his parents/government etcs were spying on him.

The complete failure of the brand initiative cannot be overstated.

Oh god, was working within seller central when brand registry was being spun up. Id rather not relive some of those experiences (or use them).

CTO at a successfull cybersecurity startup I worked at long ago was exempt from critical security updates. She refused to restart her computer out of fear for her Excel state.

I mean those stats arent good...
