    Then perhaps you should seek help.

    That's an x86 thing, though.

    Pray tell, what does it say about me?

    That would have been a very fair point but to me, the tone definitely comes off as "how dare these annoying waiters try to sell me coffee so that the shop doesn't lose money from m…

    (I don't know enough about the CFAA to know whether this is true so I'll assume it is.) To continue the garage door analogy, you wouldn't walk up to any random garage door and try …

    And why does the linked paper not qualify as such a link?

    No, and that's a good thing. Just look at how quickly features are added to the living browser standards. Instead, we get a new POSIX version every couple of years that includes th…

    No, the argument is that it didn't "wipe the continent" and in fact caused far less damage than other things we're totally fine with. I don't see GP saying that they want an incide…

    The data seems to indicate that specifically social media is the cause. Take a look at some of the articles at https://www.afterbabel.com/t/the-international-mental-health... where…

    I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm merely pointing out that you're not disagreeing with GP either.

    As a barely former teen, what awaits in those virtual spaces is both worse than the dismissal and arguably feeds the naïveté causing said dismissal.

    But GP used client and server correctly, no? In the traditional model, the server renders the text it received from the client. Nowadays, the client renders it itself and pushes th…

    There's no need to wait, just look at the current mental health crisis.

    You... you don't actually think we talk like that, do you?

    I'd consider equating people and robots rather more degrading to people than calling non-people "slurs".

    I have used OpenBSD on first a Raspberry Pi 3 and then 4. I liked it, until one day the system stopped responding on either SSH and the serial port, so I had to cut the power to re…

    Why would hunter/gatherer cultures be less aware of their surroundings? They depend on them a lot more; need to know where to move next to find good food sources for the current se…

    Given that cultures on all (at the time) inhabited continents have flood myths, it seems very safe to say that they were aware of it.

    No. Central to the trolley problem is that you're in a _runaway_ trolley. In this case, OpenAI not only chose to start the trolley, they also chose to not brake even when it became…

    Not necessarily. The security issues are with the libxml implementation, a different one might be more secure even with JIT. That's part of what makes the whole situation so ridicu…
