  • Top economist warns that the AI math doesn’t make sense: 'Profits are currently being funded by investors rather than earned from customers'

  • That's what stepmothers are for.

  • Companies boasting about committing felonies and trying to charge companies to run the uncontrollable super-hacking machines on their systems has got to be one of the stupidest marketing attempts ever.

  • "Can't turn your brain off," and not reading the docs seems contradictory to me. I.e. if you don't even know the contract of the specific methods the code is calling, you don't really know if it's correct or not.

  •  python
        
import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic()

message = client.messages.create(
    model='claude-fable-5',
    max_tokens=128000,
    messages=[
        {'role': 'user', 'content': 'say "Hello World"'}
    ],
)

print(message.content[0].text)

  • I avoided all the effort of going to read the docs and relearn something I very rarely need.

    This is the same thing as blindly copy-pasting StackOverflow snippets; which people used to think was a bad thing.

  • Welcome To The Resistance: Meet The Workers Dodging (And Sabotaging) Their Employer's AI Mandates

    Jump

  • At some companies, it's because they're hoping to use the data of the employees using the AI to automate their job away.

  • I think that jobs are starting to pick up

    Jump

  • Yeah, I've been getting interviews the past couple months, but I haven't had any luck so far. Got to the final round a couple times, but I guess they liked someone else they interviewed better.

  • Report: Trump mad RFK Jr. hasn’t cut more vaccines or proven autism link

    Jump

  • There's no good evidence of widespread voting shenanigans (yet; I'm worried about future elections). Trump was popular in rural US, and that pretty much explains everything. I agree with everything else you said though. There's a ton of evidence of foreign meddling, and all the dark money in politics is basically legalized election influence for the wealthy.

  • There are so many issues to attack him on that this one looks minor. I think I heard the DNC is pretty much bankrupt too.

  • Freenet - Services Without Servers

    Jump

  • Hmm, yeah, the being exposed thing is what the Web of Trust system is supposed to prevent. I guess I feel that it's more important to protect everyone's anonymity than to possibly make it easier to catch people distributing and consuming CSAM. There are other ways to catch and prosecute the people who produce, distribute, and consume CSAM. It doesn't happen in a vacuum, and is not a purely digital crime.

  • Freenet - Services Without Servers

    Jump

  • Presumably, there are other ways to catch them than to allow total surveillance of society. I mean, I don't think the post office should inspect every person's mail without a warrant either; and I'm sure there's plenty of CSAM transmitted through it.

  • How do you handle visual regression detection in production?

    Jump

  • Lol, yeah. We also had to do stuff like that for auditing and compliance because the application interacted with the company's accounting system.

  • Freenet - Services Without Servers

    Jump

  • I know they removed the anonymity features, but he says they have plans to add something as a layer on top instead of having anonymity baked into the core. He said with anonymity, they'll still have "robust safeguards against illegal usage." IDK what that means.

  • Freenet - Services Without Servers

    Jump

  • Hyphanet (the predecessor to this new Freenet; possibly superior in some ways) uses an implementation of the "Web of Trust" idea for stuff like this. It doesn't remove content, but hides it if you and the people you trust, don't trust that pseudonym (you can assign trust levels in the 0-100 range IIRC). There are also freesite indexes that are curated (multiple levels; a "clean" one that only contains stuff that is unlikely to cause legal problems, an intermediate one that allows stuff like piracy, and a unmoderated one I think). I guess you can say that Hyphanet doesn't bake moderation into the system itself, but offloads that to individuals and groups. I like this idea, because different people and groups think different things are acceptable and not.

  • How do you handle visual regression detection in production?

    Jump

  • Last time I worked on a large, long running web project, a person would manually check nearly everything. He kept a checklist of what to check, which covered nearly every page, modal, and dialog on staging before we deployed. We did try the snapshot thing for a little bit, but it caused more problems than it solved.

  • BlackRock is the worst

    Jump

  • There's a lot of loopholes. I think I read that it doesn't affect Blackrock at all. It will affect Blackstone, but there are enough loopholes for them too.

  • The Bosses Are Coding Again

    Jump

  • Not reviewing it. Not architecting it in a doc and handing it off. Actually building it.

    ??? Reviewing, architecting, and handing it off is pretty much what AI coding is. I feel like the entire industry has some kind of AI psychosis or something.
