ZYbCRq22HbJ2y7··on Palantir founder purchases large swath of forest in Sweden
> speculation needs a cause

it definitely doesn't, as people buy shit all the time on impulse alone. when you have zillions of dollars, that impulse buying can look different, as you kind of say as well.

ZYbCRq22HbJ2y7··on Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats
seems like a bad UX decision, unless it is somehow summarized at the end or something

it doesn't seem necessary to read a full CoT exchange. rather a final graph of why a decision was made would be ideal for my usage.

you don't worry about it for a couple years and check back to see if its a real problem or a panic induced engagement generator

ZYbCRq22HbJ2y7··on Data collected by cars and sold to third parties
Maybe the poster is saying, "There are no consequences for anyone acting in this way here, and we seem to be slipping ever more into societal moral decay, so why shouldn't I cheat to win?"

Or: "All companies are essentially gigantic conglomerates eating each others' food by selling my own and others' data to each other, so I basically have rights to their claimed assets anyway."

Or: "No company or government respects my privacy or property rights, so why should I respect theirs?"

Some of that is a form of "I am going to steal, because others are stealing", and well, if stealing becomes the norm, yeah, I would say the comment has some validity in a few words for the common citizen.

ZYbCRq22HbJ2y7··on JetKVM Mini
I think the software aspects of JetKVM are open source? See: https://github.com/jetkvm

Also they say they are open sourcing the reference implementation of the "JetKVM OS Services" and the firmware of the "JetKVM Mini".

My point is more that it is way easier to make mistakes in source than it is to review said source in a project like this. So, to me, it is kind of risky to use something very green that is meant to be used as a network appliance more or less.

i am not sure i would trust a two month old project "based on a three month old proof of concept" over a product that has been around for years, but it is good to know it is there
ZYbCRq22HbJ2y7··on More questions about whether researchers can trust OpenAI with unpublished math
> I suspect the main reason the community is not receiving it well is largely the same reason many developers are not receiving coding agents well.

Because the training data is millions of hours human efforts being distilled into a cascading hierarchy of enrichment by interested parties without providing attribution or compensation?

All players in this space are doing the same thing with all data, no surprise here. They are stealing IP across the board with support to allow it: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.64...

IMO, it is extremely naive to trust these black box remote service API calls, especially at an institution that can provide $$$ for local compute.

This whole fiasco reminds one of this story: https://www.theregister.com/offbeat/2010/05/14/facebook-foun...

ZYbCRq22HbJ2y7··on 2004 RuneScape fit a multiplayer RPG into 56k dial-up
exploiting these games was how a lot of people learned to program, and those exploiting other aspects of the real world is how most people have careers as programmers. if you can't see this, you are lagging.

had to download the client (mainly the map, entities) upfront though (like a 500MiB package)

to my knowledge, no one has released a classic UO (t2a, etc) web client, though it would be pretty easy to do these days

write it to a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-DISC or something similar and put it somewhere safe, like a bank, with a reader. why do you need to host it if it is for your kids? maybe a real answer is to pay someone or make some elaborate rube goldberg redundancy apparatus on some p2p mesh network or whatever.

ZYbCRq22HbJ2y7··on Elon Musk's Grokipedia: White nationalist talking points, racial pseudoscience
Obviously, anyone can run a rudimentary classification heuristic over this and understand what its purpose is.

It has the same purpose as musk's twitter buyout, to confuse the space of objective reality, and he isn't alone in his purpose.

Epistemic dialog be damned, if it is just based on volume of text referenced.

Imagine if Musk backlinks every existing twitter thread to "grokipedia" the way that first words are done with wikipedia.

It will be a claim of "oh, its just part of the platform"

Then meta and every other evil asshole that wants to control reality will follow, until we put their heads under a guillotine.
