    I assume they're using a more candid definition where they're not counting all the countries a company may be based, but rather the primary country they're based in. I don't think …

    There's a comment on the GitHub thread which also mentions pinning rsync version would be a bad idea. Many of the people affected by reversions are those with workflows vulnerable …

    I don't actually see much evidence the usage of AI here was an issue. I think you can obviously identify areas where the code isn't perfect. I'd blame this slightly on human prompt…

    Can you tell me any of the bugs? All claims I have seen so far of people being affected by bugs seem deeply implausible. The current ones I see are: * Can't build on Linux < 5.6. B…

    Yes, the actual issues seem to be: * People with linux * Hardening against path-traversals causes failures for users with: no chroot; using the native rsync protocol. Ironically: c…

    Many of these results don't rely on repeatedly calling Lean. You have no clue what you're talking about. > Just look at the donors of Renaissance Misanthropy. If you're actually in…

    This is getting insane. You have no evidence for your initial claims and didn't respond to a thing I said, and are now claiming using AI for education is "child abuse". Please get …

    Is your justification in dismissing Fields medalists that they are impressed by funding? Not even receiving it (I assume you say this because Tao is not funded by AI for Math, but …

    Are we back to magic water and magic soil? Does the energy have some morality attached to it? The emissions per kWh of energy used in providing internet downloads probably is simil…

    I have to tell you something: there is consumer demand for AI.

    Unless they mean another "f word", the f word was used in Apollo 10. It's just that the transcripts change it to "freaking": > Oh, shit' What they did, they made it a two - Ain't t…

    Have you read the DPA? How did you come to your inclusions on its intent? How do you think Biden stretched the definition here? There is nothing in the DPA implying companies it is…

    Are you reading things before agreeing with them? Or thinking about them? It doesn't seem obvious these things are contradictory at all. That Politico reports so doesn't make it th…

    I have agreed tariffs will have an effect, but I'm not being myopic. Lot costs, builder profits, indirect labour (commissioning, financial and legal affairs, advertising) all are f…

    I agree with you, they'll probably worsen the effect, and I assume this is maybe 5% in the long run from all these tariffs (if they're not cancelled).

    The claim they went into effect January 1 simply does not seem true. The finished products tariff was delayed: https://edition.cnn.com/2026/01/01/business/trump-furniture-... For u…

    I agree with the first half of what you posted, but immediately jumping to blaming tariffs in your last paragraph seems weak (and a slight attempt at a gotcha). Concrete, gypsum an…

    A nonpartisan newspaper could also condemn or blame a political party for an action. But if all of its posts were supportive of one administration, it would no longer be partisan. …

    I think the article is highly exaggerating Starbuck's role at meta, and serves more of a role in being polemical. The WSJ have themselves reported on it: https://www.wsj.com/tech/a…
