When you line the government with yesmen,they will taylor or they'll get fired, so I would expect HN to catch on that fast

Spent a few weeks learning nvim and colemac-dh; doing light customizations -- found myself pining after neorg, and figured if I want this in my dev env, it is likely work learning …

Who actually believes these numbers?

Calling this "prime intellect" is a choice and, honestly, I am very much here for it.

The goal is prevent homegrown talent, and give a reason to import H2B of offshore.

Beyond clear the latter is far more at fault than the former.

Leaders profit off the military industrial complex. Take away that complex and they would certainly look for the next opportunity so bleed the working class, but the sham would be …

What a fucking joke.

What sardonic and woefully glib comment. To think that this is in anyway going to help people -- or even the industries that are stepping on their necks, is really some wishful thi…

Trash in, trash out -- just like LLMs and data. Then comes to mind George Carlin's comment on politicians: “Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: po…

Exactly. I am simply done using any service whose source code I cannot audit myself.

When learning new languages, frameworks, or systems, I've learned over the last ten years that I -- as ADHD riddled as I am -- retain and engage with information a lot more when I …

If Billionaires steal from the present, which they do (see net wealth change over the past seven years as wealth transfer from the people), they also steal from the future. Not to …

Warned by YComb? I got something similar when discussing Flock. Tech companies, in the end of the day, will stand together to suppress dissent under the guise of anything nearing p…

Jesus H. Christ, never thought about that.

I specifically outlined non-MUD role playing environments because I know MUDs lost popularity long before Discord. I am outlining that any form of tech, besides Discord, is sidelin…

I really, really hope you lot manage to!

I honestly worry that the relevance of text-based systems is largely tied with literacy and how it interacts with the player's imagination -- something largely in decline, at least…

A little irrelevant, but I need to vent about something MUD adjacent. I really wish MUDs were still a thing. The text-based roleplaying communities were largely swallowed by Discor…
