Laws are great and all. But what we really need is a massive boycott. Stop buying shit manufactured or sold by Sony for a year. That alone will probably force them to backtrack eve…

The comment thread was about AI, not LLM.

>It's having a general understanding/view of the "baseline", aka healthy anatomy. This is something LLMs will never have You're making the mistake of conflating AI with LLMs. I don…

I've been using openbox for decades now. It doesn't get in the way, and I don't need more.

If something has several clear positive effects, and a possible small, arguably irrelevant, negative effect, most people will agree that yes, it's good for you. It's like trying to…

One of my pet peeves with git (and systems both similar, and based on it) is that automated tests run after you've made the commit and push. In my mind the commit (let alone the pu…

I've been listening to Space Station to flow for more than 20 years.

Sourdough doesn't need to be complicated. You get the starter by leaving flour and water at room temperature for several days. Once the starter is ready, it's just more flour and w…

> and left all their code available, as required by OSS. IANAL, and I don't have a horse in this race, but I don't think that's required by OSS, not by the spirit of "the law", and…

>Then they added friend lists, status updates, like counts, popularity rankings. That sounds absolutely horrible.

I used to love HN. Lots of interesting stuff, great articles, novel projects. Now it feels like the frontpage is always around 70% LLM-related stuff. And not breakthrough research …

Muchrooms have mycotoxins too. And red meat is a carcinogen. And predator fish have plenty of heavy metals. And the list goes on and on. Yet we eat all those things. Hence the "net…

Most people who fast report that same "clearheadedness".

> you should not eat it all day How sure are we about this? How certain are we that those specific species of mold have a net negative effect, rather than a net positive (like for …

Europe's first mistake was abandoning nuclear energy, and their second mistake was not going all in on renewables.

I think it absolutely is for everyone, especially for introverts. It's a muscle, go train it. Source: me.

That's because you aren't combining it with more advanced commands, or macros. "10j" may sound useless. But "y10j50jp" is much more effective. Put that in a macro that does other s…

That sounds like the perfect thing to do while I'm driving.

Because it's a type of message, just like "GET" in the context of HTTP.

I've never looked at the source code of a PT, but my understanding is that they also implement heuristics to detect strange behaviors, i.e. clients trying to fake their ratio.
