You can offer standalone exes without installers.

It’s true. The best approach is to stand alone against the fire and try to put it out yourself. Maybe the fire will be nice to you if you beg.

“Global prosperity” is a good one. How is global prosperity achieved? Business owners get all the profits of our labor and maybe some of it trickles down? Workers get “prosperous” …

I don't think that's what the page talks about. There are lots of _valid_ opportunities in our day-to-day lives where we'd benefit _so much_ from doing the research, struggle with …

And you don't think AI is going to make these things worse? Even if you only have 3 friends, talk to them, hang out, do stuff with them.

> If something in your software is intentionally malicious or damaging, it's malware. Seems to me like the library functions as it should. It behaves like a property testing librar…

Time to start rendering junk data to all crawlers, including google.

Not sure it’s much of a choice and more of a decision the greedy half make and imposition (often violent) on the other half.

Steel has almost always (as in 99.99...% of the time) delivered to our expectations based on our understanding of it. The cases where we built something out of steel and it failed …

> Real art always seems to find its fans eventually, and I don't think AI will stop that. That's what's happening though. Someone is writing a prompt, generating some slop and then…

I would absolutely not call Rust a simpler Swift. Swift doesn't have and ownership/borrowing system, explicit lifetime for objects, much more expressive (and therefore complex) mac…

Someone should just come up with some middleware that produces jumbled-up responses. Your website will still match the keywords from search engines but be toxic to ai crawlers

I think the paper is really good and makes loads of valid points... and it's kinda terrifying. Having super accessible machines that can make anything up and aren't held accountabl…

The questions seem more focused around social media but I wish there were more safeguards to stop us (I’m talking as an EU citizen) from crashing and burning when the AI bubble pop…

The other options look like garbage tho

Lmao you can’t be serious. This is something that can only be said if you can’t/won’t quantify social cost. Deregulated gambling has had a horrible impact on individuals. Repealing…

Looks great! Kinda wish Python had a syntax that allowed for more “declarative-looking” code

This feels so obvious and simple how is this not already a standard thing everywhere? Is it because the mantissa and point position don't both fit into a single register?

Agreed. Nepotism is the way forward.

What is this "Ubuntu" and how can I use it? As a consumer, what does it mean to me that it's "Certified"? Certified in what? Apple's ads show you the product, how you can use it an…

Why would companies do that? They won't be held liable once it's modified.

Schools can use MDM profiles to track or restrict navigation. Not only would you _not_ want to do it at this level or by setting cookies from a technical perspective, it wouldn’t w…
