I suspect that Anthropic wanted the govt to ensure they would not use Claude for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons even if it does become legal in the future. OpenAI was comfortable with the agreement because it's currently illeg

China already has such legislation. They have placed restrictions on social media and internet use for children, and they censor content on these platforms. Personally, I'm against government intervention for this sort of thing. I pref

The people in this community are more qualified than most people in my social circles for debating this topic, and tend to be less motivated toward bias. People here tend to be better at referencing source material, facts, and statistics th

App Store gatekeeping needs to burn. It may be helpful for the tech-illiterate who want simple and safe apps, but it's not a viable for a healthy ecosystem of broad ranging applications. It's crazy to think I can't install an

I like your wording on this - outrage cycle. I agree that social media algorithms promote that, which is why I have largely withdrawn from twitter, facebook, and instagram. They're nowhere near representative of my real life social net

I feel pretty strongly that the vocal "majority" on the internet isn't at all representative of our local, national, or global communities. Both government and business leadership need to stand up to the bullying that these o

This isn’t how life as a software engineer has to be. I work for a small software company, which hasn’t taken any investment money, and is experiencing slow growth. The entire company is remote, and I love my coworkers, who I see daily, but

I was actually looking to move from one urban center to another, and switch jobs accordingly. During my job search, my current employer found me on hired.com. They're an entirely remote company. Taking this job has turned out way bette

Definitely not impossible. I got married at 21, and it's one of the best decisions I ever made. We just celebrated our 8th anniversary, and we've got two kids to enjoy it with. No, it wasn't to my high school sweetheart eithe

I love his reflection at the bottom: > Life is easy. Humans are fucking badass -- we absolutely dominate our environment and are so smart and powerful. But for some strange reason, we take those millions years of evolution encoded in ou

I'm surprised the article doesn't mention density of cattle farming. I know it's a complicated issue, but my understanding is that industrial animal production affects climate more than transportation does. http://

There's an app called Free Download Manager which has this feature. I suspect it may be using youtube-dl under the hood, since the functionality looks similar (with a GUI, of course). The app allows you to copy/paste youtube urls

Sounds like he wants to avoid paying a lawyer to do something that the big record labels can do with a click, that is, get a network to honor a DMCA takedown request. It shouldn't be so difficult for an individual to prevent someone el

I've used Entity Framework in .NET extensively, and since moving to NodeJS back ends, have used Bookshelf.JS a bit, and researched numerous others. In my opinion, an ORM is only worth using if it is very mature. I'm talking thir

Although he talks a bit about formal specifications and tools for writing and verifying them, his talk has a few really great parts about informal specs. I'd recommend watching 23:22-30:42, where he gives an example of where an exhaust

I'm pretty sure readability routes web pages through their service to strip them down to the main content, and restyle them. Since this processing isn't done on your machine, it would probably be slower than loading the original p

The sample size ("over 30") is really too small to draw many conclusions. Then again, it's a larger sample size than the typical ranting blogger (sample size of 1) who likes/dislikes a given stack.

Yes, the title is link bait. However, it was written by the author of a popular JS framework. It should really be titled "There is no Best client-side framework". It's a good point he made, and one that anyone new to the client-side framewo
