    Palantir Workers Are Finally Noticing The Skulls On Their Caps

  • You've got to understand though, Luciferia is a company that's going places. Obviously people are going to want to work there when you see all the cutting edge research they're doing. I mean they literally just built the first actual Torment Nexus... it used to only be purely science-fiction, like in that book "Don't create the Torment Nexus" but they managed to make it a reality! Isn't that incredible?

  • I believe you, and I feel for you. The saddest part about AI is how it has tainted all high-effort, carefully organized work to the point that it makes it hard to distinguish between the most trustworthy content and the least trustworthy. We need better tools for information provenance. Like I said, the first thing I did was look into your backgrounds to try to understand "is this some AI slop bot or a real person with a real brain" and everything I looked at suggested it being legit and that's why I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt. But that doubt is everywhere nowadays. It's rough out there.

  • The formatting, style, cadence and tone feel very AI to me. The authors seem like real people with real history and I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, the topic and status summarization is genuinely interesting whether it's AI or not, but it's hard not to feel a bit sus reading it.

  • That's great for production AWS managed services, but that still sounds like the opposite of self-hosting to me, I don't need scaling like that, I'm not lying when I admit I'm using sshfs (which was a slightly tongue-in-cheek counterpoint to s3) and despite everyone dunking on it, it is in fact working perfectly at my scale. I know I've been downvoted to purgatory but I still stand by my original comment. I don't understand why you would need S3 or S3 compatibility in a self-hosting context. The closest someone has come to explaining it is the guy who said choice is good... like, yeah, it's good to have the choice I guess, but... still doesn't seem like a great choice for self-hosting. I appreciate you trying to explain it but I feel like everyone is missing the self-hosting context here. For a little home lab I simply don't see the value. Why are people promoting AWS and AWS-adjacent services here?

  • It's supposed to be progressive in the sense that it (sort of) supports people better than is typical, but it's also a nanny state where the supports and protections they offer are more about taking your freedom away than actual support and genuine progress. And vice versa, the conservative libertarian ideologies that are available on the other side of the ballot, emphasize personal freedoms but they are actually more about the rich getting richer while using personal freedoms as window dressing to distract you from the fact that they are making everyone else so much poorer that you won't have the money to access those freedoms anyway.

    Neither side is genuinely progressive. They just wear their freedom and generosity like superhero capes and then use them like a matador does to distract the charging bull of public opinion and make you blame the cape for it while they poke even more sharp things into your sides.

    Meanwhile we are bleeding to death.

  • So enlighten me then, save me from my terrible hack that is working fine for me and tell me what it DOES have to do with. I thought S3 was a remote filesystem you can use, essentially Amazon's proprietary version of webdav where you get a http bucket you can only access with aws proprietary tools. What's the attraction? Clearly it seems like people love it, and I am getting dunked on for asking an honest question, which feels a bit unhealthy and unpleasant for the self-hosting community.

    Am I supposed to be familiar with AWS infrastructure as a prerequisite for being here?

  • S3 compatibility is nice I guess if you need S3 compatibility but also... why would you need that?

    sshfs does everything I need and compatibility is almost native.

  • Tinder takes action against AI profiles by making users scan eyes for “proof of humanity”

  • It doesn't sound like you really have any understanding of, or concern for, what happened to the other 77 women, nor what happened to the other 79+ men your girlfriend "swiped left" on in your scenario.

    And you're accusing me of using boomer logic? That's some classic boomer logic if I've ever heard it: "I got mine, fuck the rest of you, it's obvious why you all failed, you just need to work harder or lower your standards, even though I didn't, because everything just worked out flawlessly for me and I don't want to be too introspective about why in case I accidentally develop some empathy about it"

    Yeah, dating apps are just fine the way they are. Nothing wrong with them at all.

  • My girlfriend had 80+ matches when I started talking to her. I had 3. And yet here we are.

    That math ain't mathing, bud. You ever wonder what's going on with the 77 other women you didn't match with? Or are we supposed to believe they somehow never actually existed? Are hospitals lying about the number of girls born into the world? Are 90% of girls dying as children? Do women have lower standards for relationships? Is there one guy out there engaged in polygamy with all 77 women? Or are they all ugly and don't deserve love?

    Conversely, why did your girlfriend have to go through 80+ guys to get to you?

    Dating apps are incel factories. They have no incentive to actually match you with a mate at all, much less a soulmate. The fact that you did anyway is actually a failure-to-profit on their part, and you have successfully defied their business model and found love despite their efforts. Good for you.

    Good for you doesn't imply good for everyone though, nor good for society. They are toxic hellholes, and I stand by my assertion that they are what broke dating (for almost everyone, genuinely glad they didn't get you, enjoy your life of never having to use a dating app again)

  • Oh indeed so. I'm very excited for the opportunity to charge desperate corporations at least 10x my current hourly rate for the privilege of unspaghettifying their "mission critical" "production ready" spaghetti without causing more outages and data loss than they'll already be suffering from by that point.

  • So they're mostly overblown report slop with no real-world value until an actually skilled and experienced human sifts through it to find the gems and properly polish them? Much like pretty much anything else AI produces? Yeah I thought so.

    As a senior software developer, the reports of my job's demise remain greatly exaggerated. I do worry about the lack of junior devs being afforded the opportunity to be gainfully employed while they earn the same level of experience I have, though. Considering they're called "learning models" I'm not convinced the current crop of AIs are actually capable of the quality and speed of learning that an actual human is, deeply flawed creatures though we are. AI cannot achieve the same without access to enormous quantities of training data which, while it might be available in sufficient quantity for the right price and energy cost, won't be of sufficient quality to actually learn valuable insights from, especially so the further we move into replacing all carefully curated human knowledge with an AI slopfest, reducing the signal-to-noise ration and actually get further from solving the "discovery problem" that has plagued us since the dawn of the information age.

    Junior devs, don't give up. We haven't given up on you. (only the corporate AI bubble leaders have, and the bubble will eventually deflate even if it doesn't catastrophically pop, which it probably will)

  • Oh god no, the reason I use TUI is to get away from all this graphical rendering shit. What's wrong with ASCII art? If your TUI is too much for even bloated Unicode to handle, you've probably already wandered into the lands of the GUI and you should probably just be honest with yourself and stay there.

  • I can see the appeal of eschewing society as a whole in favor of a bot that I know won’t ask me my political or religious leanings and then tailor their behavior around my answer.

    ... tailoring their behavior around your answer is literally how LLMs work. That's why they're so sycophantic. Also unless you're running it locally on a machine you control, it doesn't need to ask you about your political or religious leanings anyway because it already knows. That's exactly the sort of context that data brokers have already long-since developed around your identity, and a commercial AI model is absolutely going to be looking at that kind of context to know exactly how to talk to you.

    You are going the wrong direction if you think AI is the solution to any of these things at least in the way it is currently being used.

    Casual smalltalk with randos is probably the cure. "Much less appealing" is the environment that's been intentionally created to prevent you from doing that. We're all in the same boat.

  • Even if you were somehow able to overcome the "can" question, the far more meaningful question is "will it do so fairly", and it's absolutely certain it will not. If you agree the problem of the justice system is that rich people own it, this is not the solution to that problem. This literally is that problem.
