It’s wild to, in a thread about an unusual number of suicides among a branch of government doing secret stuff, say that folks talking about that secret stuff would be a good idea. …

They uh… they were open. They were open before we started bombing. We bomb because we bombed. As a consequence of us murdering we are murdering. > "American" is a label for a group…

The writing is made worse by a specific choice which the commentator identified. That’s actionable feedback.

This says more bout you than me.

You could not.

What Hanami brings is an intentional and well-reasoned architecture that supports building maintainable applications. It has taste.

Hanami is quite nice. I haven’t had the opportunity to use it in anger but I have had a crush on it for a while now. I really do hope ROM-rb, the not-orm Hanami uses, gets some dev…

I’m perfectly satisfied with what I wrote.

DRM-less on Apple is fairly useless in that the file isn’t exportable or readily found in your filesystem.

By the very definition you can buy them and send them to whoever you want. Just, you know, don’t read it yourself and you’ve done it.

I speak from ignorance, having not worked on this type of thing: are people NOT doing this? Are folks… what, passing CSVs and clicking GUIs to kick off one-off expensive, long runn…

Have terms been established to describe these types of tools? How do I refer to small utilities to perform specific transformations to LLM behavior? CLI filter seems pretty good to…

Right, but it wasn’t at all relevant.

Like I wanna stand here and listen to a tech billionaire run through a list of shit he did to my generation.

Embarrassing.

You’re bringing so much weird baggage to this. A viral hit? This is a ~2,300 word piece, equivalent to an article in The Atlantic introducing a 30 page PDF tutorial and code repo w…

The Democratic Republic of Congo holds between 60-80% of the world’s coltan reserves, a key input to capacitors and other discrete electronics. UN investigators have identified sys…

The materials they are hoping to replace are some of the least accessible, extracted with some of the most caustic industrial processes. What are you even talking about?

They’re investigating “can circuits be produced from”, not asserting “this is a better medium for this exact circuit”. It is a tutorial on creating clay PCBs at all, a demo of the …

Dope. Reminds me of the https://highlowtech.org/ research group at MIT Media Lab early 2010s, specifically kit-of-no-parts from Hannah Perner-Wilson and Leah Buechley. They were do…

I want so badly for you to expand on this thought. What are you implying about it by describing it as an art project? What does art mean to you? Are you expanding on or disputing w…

That enrichment occurred after Trump voluntarily exited the JCPOA. The IAEA reported no enrichment over the 3.67% threshold through 2018, then reported over 400kg at 60% in 2025, a…

The JCPOA was working fine. We discarded it for vanity and to create an opportunity for more war. That is obviously immoral.

C’mon. Making this argument doesn’t even respect yourself, let alone anyone else.
