Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Somebody used spoofed ADSB signals to raster the meme of JD Vance
Are funny faces funny? Are edited images funny? Are edited funny faces funny? Perhaps it just isn't your sort of humor.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Package management is a wicked problem
Isn't it `apt` these days?
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on India and EU announce landmark trade deal
To politicians and economists humans are fungible.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on France Aiming to Replace Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc.
I can't wait to see how many indians we are going to be forced to import due to that "free trade deal". They must have looked at how well it went in canada and said among themselves "now that's how you destroy a country we gotta get some of that". [EDIT] Hopefully national politicians get balls, more balls, and tell their MEPs to vote against it like the mercosur deal.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Microsoft will give the FBI a Windows PC data encryption key if ordered
Sure. You voluntarily use windows. You could use something else or nothing so you chose to use it. You are not compelled to use it by law. You are just strongly compelled by a small carrot and a large stick. The same applies to a smart phone BTW.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Why medieval city-builder video games are historically inaccurate (2020)
Abandoned? What was unfinished? I was satisfied when I played it. My only complaint was something about population growth or the ageing of people being too quick IIRC.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Satya Nadella: "We need to find something useful for AI"
> Customer service

An AI might be better than an indian call center but I doubt that when the AI is made by indians anyway.

> writing software, writing docs about software

I have asked AI about exactly one topic and it lied about the API of a library making up the functions I was supposed to call.

> computer graphics (animation, images)

I have indeed seen many wonderful meme images come out of the generators but that was before they got lobotomized for producing that subject matter

[EDIT]

And the worst part is these are all just more "software as a service" designed to remove the possibility of using a tool without approval.

Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on EU–INC – A new pan-European legal entity
> finding a representative of a trade union

> how much their cut will be

Did you have any employees yet? I guess so. Isn't it the employees' responsibility pay for their union membership?

Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Libbbf: Bound Book Format, A high-performance container for comics and manga
What's wrong with every page being a separate image file on your disk?
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on UK ministers launch consultation on whether to ban social media for under-16s
What you should be consulting on is to ban mobile phones for everyone.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Song banned from Swedish charts for being AI creation
We don't they have their judges so it's more like the oscars: an industry award
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Ask HN: How can we solve the loneliness epidemic?
If you're a programmer you should do everything to make the internet something you must sit down to use not something that follows you everywhere. The last 25 years of tech "progress" must be unmade.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on There's a ridiculous amount of tech in a disposable vape
No it's to punish us when it isn't us causing the alleged plastic problem. When the orders went out all the western media took holidays to the far east to film garbage filled rivers in india, the philippines, indonesia. Your disposable plastic straw wasn't ending up there. Your plastic bottle might have been but that's only because of the recycling scam. It should have been burned like the oil it is.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on This game is a single 13 KiB file that runs on Windows, Linux and in the Browser
So that's why I have to keep booting a Windows 7 computer in order to use an html file I saved 10+ years ago? Some dumb shit android app.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on The Vietnam government has banned rooted phones from using any banking app
Normal people shouldn't have computers. The internet must be made back into something you sit down to use.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on EU countries green light Mercosur free trade deal
They don't have bureaucrats over there closing farms based on lies about nitrogen. They also have a rather large forest to slash and burn for more land whereas bureaucrats here demand we do the opposite.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Ask HN: How is your work making the world a better place?
It isn't. It lets the lying media put out fake news and sports ball cheaper. It does provides some of the "obvious answer" though.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Linux kernel security work
> JavaScript

Why do you allow that RCE in the first place?

Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Parental controls aren't for parents
All those companies are, or used to be, based in the US. Those 22 year olds have only been allowed to drink for a year so by one measure they were recently children.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on EU to build no-fee payments service like Visa/Mastercard and Apple/Google Pay
I'd just be trading the censorious traits of the duopoly with the censorious traits of my government. Both of them hate japanese cartoons.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on EU to build no-fee payments service like Visa/Mastercard and Apple/Google Pay
Will I be able to use this to make purchases the government doesn't approve of? No? Then it is little different. Although all the stuff I want to buy that the government doesn't approve of comes from Japan and I doubt they'd accept it.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on History LLMs: Models trained exclusively on pre-1913 texts
I can say "I don't know" in response to a question. Can an LLM?
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on After ruining a treasured water resource, Iran is drying up
Good for the regime and americans in general. I still want to get in. I haven't fought anyone yet though.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on FVWM-95 (2001)
The comparison to modern browsers is odd and IMO plays into GP's point. You can't get a modern browser to be a single process so it is like your examples and bad for it.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on US TikTok investors in limbo as deal set to be delayed again
Shut it down already. You have permission from the rest of government this time Mr Trump so Just Do It, make your dreams come true.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Programmers and software developers lost the plot on naming their tools
Be careful. The language police have already got rid of "master". They were eyeing up gimp for a takeover or rename but I don't think it got very far. Perhaps all their energy was spent on removing the slavery from git.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux
That sounds wonderful. A world without widespread high bandwidth wireless connectivity would be a better world.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Palantir could be the most overvalued company that ever existed
WTF is this? Another thing wikipedia invents out of thin air.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on The C++ standard for the F-35 Fighter Jet [video]
You've defined that function with an attribute saying not to ignore the returned value. Is it right to explicitly silence an explicit warning?
