> None of those authors are surviving and making money because someone can't copy their work and distribute it. I tend to agree with your sentiment but this line made me think you’re underestimating the degree to which the law stops

What a wonderful excuse to dive back into Clojure! This looks fantastic. I wonder what neat stuff might be made in Clojure thanks to a C FFI that wasn’t doable on top of the JVM.

Your premise is a straw man so maybe keep your opinion on the intelligence of others to yourself. Plenty of journalists are eating well reporting on the negative externalities actively felt by residents who live near data centers. It is not

I can tell you I hate more than anything when I’m lied to. Some AI art could be fantastic (haven’t seen anything yet but I’m sure it’ll happen someday). I don’t want something you prompted an AI for because genuinely I could just do that my

The most widespread ramification I think is just a continued disintegration of shared trust in the public square. If you replaced your art team with an AI I won’t give you my money. If you lie about it then you’re just a scumbag. If your pr

The US has the highest per-capita rate of imprisonment I think we’re plenty “hard on crime”. What we lack is a principled stance that Americans deserve basic dignity and access to things that make people live less violent lives. It’s no sec

The number of blogs posted on here by people who can’t be arsed to make their writing legible on mobile blows my mind. Did everybody just skip the section of their CSS journey that covered media queries or what? I enjoyed the article but it

I think it was more about doing it without a Boolean-based branch construct like a ternary or switch or whatever flavor of thing that abstracts away the explicit checks for true/false by other means. Idk though for sure

“what it does” describes the actions taken - cancer wards work to treat cancer (which is their purpose). Outcomes of what they do isn’t relevant to the point. The purpose of most social media companies is to manipulate people for financial

At that point “human” really only meant the white man who owns property though eh?

> *biased* or misleading The bias is what would make somebody consider some propaganda good and others bad. Like - anti-fascist propaganda is good because it’s biased against an anti-human and oppressive ideology.

Strudel can use custom samples in addition to the built in synths and samples. The language is really expressive. I’ve not gone too far into playing with it but from what I’ve seen it’s pretty flexible. That said I’ve only seen people makin

I was goofing around with TidalCycles and really wanted to use it for the Haskell syntax but Strudel’s interface is so slick I suffer the JS syntax. Thanks for mentioning superdough I hadn’t seen it anywhere while I was playing with all of

The only people who matter are shareholders. Employees are a means to the end of making money for the owners of the company whether through stocks or other kinds of ownership.

It’s an Israeli company - they probably consider their work a matter of national security and get along just fine with that

by nucleogenesis 11mo ago
Idk I think saying it’s “computing” is more precise because “thinking” applies to meatbags. It’s emulating thinking. Really I just think that anthropomorphizing LLMs is a dangerous road in many ways and really it’s mostly marketing BS anywa

What’s wrong with this from your perspective? IMO it’s too little too late and should have been a federal law years ago. Don’t get me wrong - Newsom is a slippery snake politician and is beholden to rich scumbag donors but I don’t see how t

I’d guess that it’s because React came around and it was from Facebook so it got a lot of adoption? Maybe there’s some other reason, the comment you responded to seems to imply something anyway

I’m fond of chained array methods, especially if the callbacks I pass are named functions - it can make for code that I find way more legible than for loops. But even with anonymous callbacks I’d rather do that ~90% of the time than use a f

For me it’s just that I just don’t want to lie to make money. Commercials are on their face a work of fiction unless stated otherwise — for customer testimonials in commercials that are fake (in the US anyway) there has to be text saying as

Shit happens. Putting a case on my phone improves the likelihood that my $1200 phone doesn’t shatter. People have kids, animals, and make silly little mistakes that can have massively expensive consequences. I’m not regularly smashing my ph

Love the game and really like that any valid solution works. Would certainly pay a nominal fee for the archives or a way to randomly generate a puzzle w/ seed so my wife and I can play the same puzzle together. Thanks for sharing!

Idk I don’t think of it as fake - it’s creative fiction paired with sometimes highly skilled performance. I’ve learned a lot about how magic tricks work and I still love seeing performers do effects because it takes so much talent to, say,
