SCP-7000: The Loser https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7000

oh shit, it's really pretty, I wasn't expecting that

recognizing emotion is not the main thing for therapy, having a human on the other side is the only essential

Crónica de una muerte anunciada is such a great book

nicest interaction ITT

always the same response: "you're holding it wrong"

the geopolitical takes on this website are something else man. I would say don't bother, but letting this type of rhetoric go would also be unfortunate

described this way, his vision sounds more like an excel spreadsheet than an agent

> Building the product was never the hard part

this is an absolutely insane take

> Except, in this case the competitors are power hungry dictators who would kill you if they were rich enough to get away with it.

I'm not sure what side are you talking about here.

It wouldn't be a stretch but only it the rest of the investigation didn't happen and we knew absolutely nothing else about Cambridge Analytica or Facebook. As that is not the reality we live in, you could read more about the case or not let you biases show so clearly.

> instead of chastising me

Oh quit clutching your pearls, he was perfectly civil.

You're the one trying to downplay things we know weren't at all covered in full by these emails (and we've known that for quite a long time). And know about them since you're downplaying them in other comments in this thread (things like exploring the quizz apps and how Facebook knew CA had exploited the API since 2015, how CA initially said the data was for academic purposes, etc).

The latter part of your comment ("how far should we go, the invention of the printing press?") shows me you're not only crying about being corrected but being disingenuous to push a narrative based on lies. Since you're doubling down and running cover for Facebook/CA/Trump's campaign all over the thread it suggests there's more than plain stupidity and dishonesty as motives.

isn't nitter decentralized?

you misunderstood me, I was responding to a2ff6eeb0 saying he agreed with the OP

> I optimistically expect to witness the advent of a global 'panacea' in my lifetime thanks to AI's efforts

this is a religious belief, maybe you should stop to really examine that (because it might be unintentionally so), but just know that it is obvious to anyone reading these words (anyone who is not mesmerized by technology)

how would a single node system survive the failure of its only node?

maybe you're on European tzs? the sentiment changes quite a bit with who's awake at the time a thread reaches the frontpage

I don't particularly agree with DoD instance on this matter but look, they are not a regular customer, they do not pay regular customer prices and you get a lot in return for providing your services to them (think Boeing, Lockheed, Chrysler). The tradeoff is that now, you are commited to their vision of national security. Such are the Faustian bargains of the military-industrial complex.

europeans certainly did make their politics everyone else's problem for centuries (we're talking every other continent at this point), but certainly the cookie banner is not even comparable, right?

you're on one of the most pro AI spaces on the whole internet and yet you're still crying about "the hn crowd", what a bizarre distorted perspective

> He compared Visual C++ 6's debugger on hardware from the time to current Visual Studio's debugger on current hardware, and found the former much faster when performing the exact same tasks on the exact same project file and code files.

this shouldn't be right, wtf

animal well is such an incredible game and it shows how talented Billy Basso is in multiple disciplines

we could have had that before, but in past era of tech companies, APIs were not designed with an individual needs in mind and management was all too happy to order you to update status (manually) across JIRA, Slack and whatever other tracking system they were using.

How is DSA populist? The United States is a country famously opposed to socialist, I don't think they could've picked a more controversial position.

> replace it with some "workers will decide" socialist mumbo-jumbo.

Isn't it clear to you that you're misrepresenting DSA's position?

> There likely wasn't some twirly mustached executive giving a presentation with those words on the slide deck.

why oh why are giving them the benefit of the doubt? There was in fact a twirled moustache executive.

> Internal chats within the company stated, “Oh good, we’re going after <13 year olds now? Zuck has been talking about that for a while…targeting 11 year olds feels like tobacco companies a couple decades ago (and today). Like we’re seriously saying ‘we have to hook them young’ here.”

> Even after determining internally that teen safety was a massive problem on its platforms, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, “teen time spent be our top goal of 2017.”

> One internal email from September 2018 indicates that, according to Meta, “The lifetime value of a 13 [year old] teen is roughly $270 per teen.”

Why though?

I didn't see it mentioned yet and maybe there are valid reasons for that happening that I'm not aware of.

Also, discussing the thread in itself seems more relevant than how hard/confusing/woke you find a language.

I'm not here making a call to action or trying to police the thread, if anyone want to go off topic be guest.

All the posts about nix always go something like:

1. the "I used nix once/some time ago but I realized it's stupid/hard/whatever"

2. anime pfps/furries/trans/woke are bad

3. complaining about CoC/governance/etc

Irrespective of whatever the posted article is about relating to this technology. This is one of those threads.

Nix seems to have one of the worst discussion quality around here. Rust threads are similar (though they got better recently), specially on the negative unrelated comments side, but seem to have much more engaged people. Maybe Anubis has a similar ratio. I wonder why?

> A pharmacist, or one of their relatives, openly taking a large position against a trial's success would be far more likely to attract scrutiny than, say, a pharmacist being secretly paid by a competitor to interfere with the trial.

the later would not be affect by betting on clinical trials being allowed or prohibited, so I don't think the comparison proves that this would help

They finally cared about clear requirements and documentation when that meant getting rid of devs.
