Socialism is about making the government work for people and protecting individuals from corporate greed. If using AI (open source or otherwise) is going to require stealing water from or increasing energy demand on already stretched commun

There's a massive difference between piracy/copyright at a small scale for personal use or creative purposes and the wealthiest companies in the world devouring copyrighted materials and then selling it back to us. Actually both f

I think it's complicated by the turning tide on the health effects of social media. So people are kind of primed for "makes sense to keep kids from these attention driven platforms" But I think the average person isn't u

Hmm, I think it was more the rise of streaming services which were more convenient and offered a better experience with less risk than illegally downloading music or movies.

That's a good point I suppose. I guess I'm just kind of sad. LLMS appropriately sourcing material could have been such a boom for artists in a way. I guess I feel like it was a missed opportunity for some mutual benefit. Would hav

I wish archive websites would take a harder stance on LLMS. Liberating/archiving human for humans is fine albeit a bit morally grey. Liberating/archiving human works for wealthy companies so they can make money on it feels less ri

It really would be less bad though wouldn't it? The more we resist turning this into a state-sided solution which provides a service to private companies with a YES/NO age verification, the more likely your data is going to be giv

It's not hypothetical. And in fact the girl who was being targeted was expelled not the boys who did it [1]. Those boys absolutely should be held accountable. But I also don't think that Grok should be able to quickly and easily g

A lot of these UPFs are targeted at young people who don't have the same ability to think of long term consequences. If you start young, it's a much harder habit to break later in life. And in many places UPFs are cheaper and more

I feel like if the conclusion is "ban it for everyone too" I'm okay with it? But the argument seems to get a little lost along the way. Yes, adults are susceptible to the same vices as children. However (as the author writes)

After spending most of my career hacking on these systems, I feel like queues very quickly become a hammer and every entity quickly becomes a nail. Just because you can keep two systems in complete sync doesn't mean you should. If you

Total touch grass moment. There's more to education than just trivia and there's more to travel than just learning about the place you're in. The only way to learn about the human condition is by meeting other humans. Meeting

Good advice. Doesn't work in bad culture. I once was told "we cannot promote you because the work you've done checks the boxes for 2 rolls above you and does not check the boxes for your next roll"

I've heard it's actually beneficial for your ankles long term to get some tilt/pan on them. It reduces your chances of injury by strengthening the twitch muscles in your ankle and legs. Important to note the point is "tr

I enjoy when: Things are simple. Things are a complicated, but I can learn something useful. I do not enjoy when: Things are arbitrarily complicated. Things are a complicated, but I'm just using AI to blindly get something done instead

I really do not like working with uncle bob hardliners There have been so many times where I have commented _why_ I think some uncle bob-ism made the code unclear and the response is always: > *Sends link to Clean Code, maybe you don&#x2

I have an old FPGA sitting around at home and I'm relatively comfortable with VHDL. I've never really thought of any interesting projects to do with it. Anyone know of anything?

Thanks for taking the time to answer! I think I'll be giving this a shot for some upcoming projects.

Naive question here: with WireGuard VPN, does all traffic route through the VPN or only those packets bound for the other devices in the mesh?

by ImPleadThe5th 9mo ago
Can anyone explain to me (someone not so network security savvy) if there are any privacy or security concerns using a wire guard provider like this? As I understand it, with traditional VPNs, you basically have to trust third-party audits

I will always find it weird that people who think the fact their consciousness randomly popped into existence through pure luck in a privileged country means that they deserve it more than someone who popped into existence somewhere else. E

I can tell you _haven't_ meaningfully traveled a lot because you're making assertions about "correctness" on cultural differences. Some places smile, some don't. That's all fine. But thinking your way is the on
