Great, now communists are going after longer lifespans again.

A lot of companies were betting billions on exponential growth, or at least hoping that 2024 wouldn't be when AI performance starts to converge. Language models are still glorified chatbot that can't be taken seriously, and are mo

Code practices? Factorio is one of the most well programmed, stable, and consistent piece of software I've ever seen. It's almost a shame to see skilled people work in games because of how desperately other fields need people who

When you're talking about security, adding a bunch of config flags for users is never a good idea. Most users aren't going to understand what it does, and like others mentioned, there's too many reasons to turn it on.

This is usually caused by their machine learning virus scanner. For some reason it determines basically anything that you compile yourself to be a virus. Can't miss a virus if you call everything a virus, I guess.

I never understood anyone who used such strong language like "beauty" when talking about something mundane like recursion. I suspect it's just in-group language like how a cult understands the meaning of their own words, whil

Miraculously, the US has managed to achieve positive gdp growth and a rapidly declining standard of living.

You're very confident about this, aren't you?

I don't bother making anything run on linux unless it's meant to run as a service. It's just not worth the time and trouble to test it on multiple operating systems, probably with different libraries, just for what is a very

Ahh, the constant war between obviously bullshit articles and comments who didn't even look at the article they're commenting on.

Why do you choose to write in a snarky way? Why does that make you glad? Why does this make you energetic?

For me, "senior" just counts the amount of time they've been doing something. If someone isn't very good at something after putting ten thousand hours into it, they just might work at microsoft.

I'll take the free money but I fully expect to have to move to another state once this proves unsustainable. Washington is close and has no state income tax.

That's part of what makes it greed. People regularly lose money in the pursuit of more money. I have seen houses go unrented for ages because owners refuse to accept that their worthless shack in the middle of nowhere is not worth what

Where did you hear that house prices are expensive because the "earth is full"? Did you notice that housing prices doubled and almost tripled in the last 4 years alone?

Alright, now that you've got your big boy pants on, I have a bridge to sell you.

It seems like almost half the discussion on this godforsaken website is midwits picking specific words to argue over for no apparent reason. My favorite activation phrases is "AIs can hallucinate and make mistakes."

I'm not going to miss drones. Too many drone operators abused them to violate peoples expectation of quiet or privacy, or to harass animals, and were ignored or outright supported by other users. Laws restricting specific areas or beha

I just don't understand why you're using your own time to defend predatory business models that inevitably screw over the user. You can't just sit on an old piece of software and expect it to work forever because the companie

I'm glad there are people willing to pay for the development of software so I'm not stuck using GIMP. It's actually a good thing when people get paid for their work, the issue here is that adobe's predatory pricing model

I think Monopoly is awful, and I think the vocal minority of people who like it are obnoxious as hell.

You think this has been going on forever? You probably don't realize the shift in professionality because you experienced the degradation in real time.

Weasel words. Considered a classic by who? And why would being an "intro text at MIT" mean it's good for someone who is already experienced? If anything, that should show it's not worth his time.

Do you really need this explained? It's a 600 page technical book and people have a limited amount of time to sort through everything that exists.

The voting age used to be 21 in the US and people got mad after being repeatedly drafted into pointless wars by congress. If you're going to die in vietnam or a random hole in europe, at least you can vote on it now.

This is not really something written in the constitution, just something that the justices vividly hallucinated into existence in 95. If it actually comes up again, it'll probably be overturned.

People can't really be trusted to make good decisions, so the current idea of democracy seems to be to at least remove some bad decisions.

Sounds less like they're actually upset about their purchase, and more like they're afraid to be bullied. It's a good strategy. I'm all for making people apologize and pre-emptively justify making decisions I don't
