Then perhaps you should seek help.

That's an x86 thing, though.

Flour, presumably.

Pray tell, what does it say about me?

That would have been a very fair point but to me, the tone definitely comes off as "how dare these annoying waiters try to sell me coffee so that the shop doesn't lose money from me occupying a seat" and "how dare teenag

> So what to do? Go to nearest coffee shop. You’re lucky if they don’t play tasteless trendy music. You’re lucky if a waiter doesn’t keep asking if you need anything, isn’t intrusive, and doesn’t subtly let you know when it’s time to lea

(I don't know enough about the CFAA to know whether this is true so I'll assume it is.) To continue the garage door analogy, you wouldn't walk up to any random garage door and try code 12345 to help protect the owner's s

And why does the linked paper not qualify as such a link?

No, and that's a good thing. Just look at how quickly features are added to the living browser standards. Instead, we get a new POSIX version every couple of years that includes the special cases that actually work the same on BSDs and

No, the argument is that it didn't "wipe the continent" and in fact caused far less damage than other things we're totally fine with. I don't see GP saying that they want an incident like this to repeat, just that

The data seems to indicate that specifically social media is the cause. Take a look at some of the articles at https://www.afterbabel.com/t/the-international-mental-health... where the whole topic is discussed in more

I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm merely pointing out that you're not disagreeing with GP either.

As a barely former teen, what awaits in those virtual spaces is both worse than the dismissal and arguably feeds the naïveté causing said dismissal.

But GP used client and server correctly, no? In the traditional model, the server renders the text it received from the client. Nowadays, the client renders it itself and pushes the whole bitmap to the server.

There's no need to wait, just look at the current mental health crisis.

I'd consider equating people and robots rather more degrading to people than calling non-people "slurs".

I have used OpenBSD on first a Raspberry Pi 3 and then 4. I liked it, until one day the system stopped responding on either SSH and the serial port, so I had to cut the power to reboot. That's fine, these things happen, but I lost seve

Why would hunter/gatherer cultures be less aware of their surroundings? They depend on them a lot more; need to know where to move next to find good food sources for the current season. Plus, it's not like these people haven'

Given that cultures on all (at the time) inhabited continents have flood myths, it seems very safe to say that they were aware of it.

No. Central to the trolley problem is that you're in a _runaway_ trolley. In this case, OpenAI not only chose to start the trolley, they also chose to not brake even when it became apparent that they were going to run somebody over.

Not necessarily. The security issues are with the libxml implementation, a different one might be more secure even with JIT. That's part of what makes the whole situation so ridiculous.

This is getting into conspiracy territory but my personal assumption that they're trying to gaslight people into thinking that these weird AI artifacts are just how videos work, so that it's harder to distinguish between real vide

Oh, I understand that that's the WHATWG proposal. I'm talking about webstrand's idea.

Looking at your numbers, twitter went from 7,490 employees before Musk's layoffs to 2,840 in 2024. That's still a reduction by 63%.

Not necessarily. The idea is that this is browser-internal, so presumably it would still work even if JS from external sources is disabled.

No, but they curl up into a ball to protect themselves. Since they're spiky, that seems to work reasonably well against animals. Less so against blades.
