Yeah, I went with just the Safe settings for now as I am leaving for the week and didn’t want the rest of the house to have to fix something.

I am not lumping everyone in, more observing we are still amplifying the signal from radio stations that should have ceased broadcasting years ago.

Sure, but it is that Christ, Buddha or any of the other incarnations of the same idea? I am right there with you, believe it or not, but don’t John 3:16 the wrong football game.

That last line needs a lot of workshopping. A guillotine with instructions on the bottom of the blade conforms to your request.

“ believe that AI could cure most major diseases in the next 5–10 years,” I do not have the least bit of idea how disease works but I am sure the hammer I am working on will nail it all. If your famously atemporal agents can solve disease,

“ I have worked on AI for the last twelve years because I believe it could dramatically raise the quality of human life” there you go. What if an utter idiot had done and said that? First, is it impossible to believe an idiot who didn’t nee

I think it gets easier if you stop conflating getting investment with having a goddamn clue or a moral backbone. Occam’s Razor for this dude, Sam Altman, or anyone else: if I said, “some moron on a a street corner just said …” would that ch

I have a new theory as of this moment. Elon Musk, Paul Graham, Steve Yegge and now, sadly John Carmack. Your average hacker scoffs at the idea of religion or faith, but somehow is comfortable with complete unquestioning fealty to whichever

Because someone profits from it. If your man had truly embraced Zen after, y’know, becoming wealthy enough to never need anything, it feels like freedom from want would have come pretty easy. Instead we have to find our examples in poor peo

I feel like you’re half right? Daughters in law and passers by don’t feel Norman French. Daughter is definitely from middle German, yeah? And I am wondering about the professors example because the whole point is the plural only happens on

Tom's response: "Sounds good, please don't take offense at me adding https://github.com/furkan-bayrak/lg-tv-blocklist to the PiHole. Can never be too safe, right?"

Yeah, the whole rise of the web has had that unfortunate side effect, but no one had treated it like a positive until now. Hell, Meta is showing off how to use their AI to jam up phone lines and bother call centers without having to spend t

I’m sorry that definitely happened to you. Can you tell us more?

I would find this more believable if you had one of your assistants post this.

There was an Irish entrepreneur with ideas in this space. Gil O’Tyne was his name IIRC.

Oh, Anthropic beat you to the bioweapon fearmongering by almost a week.

It’s because it’s from the French (if you say the plural with a French accent, it all makes sense). There are a handful of other cases in English, though none spring to mind this morning.

I’m excited by the library too, but the post was so Claude I had to stop. Actual docs are at https://wrapture.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

I don’t think the author swallowed anything. My read is the author fundamentally doesn’t care what story the creator tells themself to justify doing something pointless that annoys others.

We’ve essentially reduced the cost of being a prick to zero.

Man, if you ever start reading books instead of spouting shit online, it is going to get weird.

Signed up to simp for Enoch Powell? I’ll grant you that’s original.

Why be so specific? Speaking as a Tom Clancy who read the first four or five.

Hmm, I feel like I have a pretty decent … well, not production-ready, but it’s all in Ansible and I did have to rebuild it from that once, which ironed out most of the bugs in that and everything gets built according to the templates I have

That smells like "show don't tell", but who knows.

I resent the implication. Or appreciate it. Whichever you prefer.

Next step: set up a scheduled job to read the logs to find any issues before they bite.

Are they? I feel like the real difference is an insistence on actually enforcing them. There were some really strong standards at the time of IE5, it was just the wild west in terms of what got built. And then you had Tantek Çelik quietly b
