I suspect that Anthropic wanted the govt to ensure they would not use Claude for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons even if it does become legal in the future. OpenAI was comf…

China already has such legislation. They have placed restrictions on social media and internet use for children, and they censor content on these platforms. Personally, I'm against…

The people in this community are more qualified than most people in my social circles for debating this topic, and tend to be less motivated toward bias. People here tend to be bet…

App Store gatekeeping needs to burn. It may be helpful for the tech-illiterate who want simple and safe apps, but it's not a viable for a healthy ecosystem of broad ranging applica…

I like your wording on this - outrage cycle. I agree that social media algorithms promote that, which is why I have largely withdrawn from twitter, facebook, and instagram. They're…

I feel pretty strongly that the vocal "majority" on the internet isn't at all representative of our local, national, or global communities. Both government and business leadership …

This isn’t how life as a software engineer has to be. I work for a small software company, which hasn’t taken any investment money, and is experiencing slow growth. The entire comp…

I was actually looking to move from one urban center to another, and switch jobs accordingly. During my job search, my current employer found me on hired.com. They're an entirely r…

I'm surprised the article doesn't mention density of cattle farming. I know it's a complicated issue, but my understanding is that industrial animal production affects climate more…

Github is... adopting the old Visual Studio logo? http://static.flickr.com/2768/4307936121_5b5e51a790.jpg

There's an app called Free Download Manager which has this feature. I suspect it may be using youtube-dl under the hood, since the functionality looks similar (with a GUI, of cours…

Sounds like he wants to avoid paying a lawyer to do something that the big record labels can do with a click, that is, get a network to honor a DMCA takedown request. It shouldn't …

I've used Entity Framework in .NET extensively, and since moving to NodeJS back ends, have used Bookshelf.JS a bit, and researched numerous others. In my opinion, an ORM is only wo…

Although he talks a bit about formal specifications and tools for writing and verifying them, his talk has a few really great parts about informal specs. I'd recommend watching 23:…

I'm pretty sure readability routes web pages through their service to strip them down to the main content, and restyle them. Since this processing isn't done on your machine, it wo…
