baggy_trough··on Ask HN: How will the AI endgame play out?
"almost certainly"? Wow.

Well worth it so far.
baggy_trough··on The new Firefox design is here
Ah, that sounds promising!

Thank you, but there's still a popup with the page title and site name.
baggy_trough··on The new Firefox design is here
I like the idea of Firefox, but the UI has always been awkward on macOS. It looks a little better, but I don't like the huge tab pills in the window header, or the popups if you linger for more than a moment on the tab pill or favorites.

Can you give some examples of these "extreme far right" beliefs, by which I assume you must mean beliefs that are so extreme that something like only 1% of the most right wing parts of the population could believe them?

A ridiculous claim. The cry of an infant is political? My houseplant? Fixing a buffer overflow?
baggy_trough··on Seattle City Council votes to ban surveillance pricing in sale of groceries
No, it does not. I would not describe most advertising as underhanded or subtle.

It's not a mystery that targeted advertising works better than random advertising and therefore commands a premium. It's an unjustified leap from that to the scary sounding 'manipulation'.
baggy_trough··on Stanford R&DE Uses AI to Race Swap Students for Advertising
If you're removed for a photo for race/sex reasons, I view it as a 'political' change, which is less personally insulting than modifying your face to look better (implying you are uglier than would be preferred).
baggy_trough··on Stanford R&DE Uses AI to Race Swap Students for Advertising
No, not in the least. Bizarre take.
baggy_trough··on Stanford R&DE Uses AI to Race Swap Students for Advertising
Me for one. It's a direct judgement on your appearance, whereas being removed could be for purely demographic reasons.

It's more offensive to be prettified by an AI than it is to be removed and replaced entirely.
baggy_trough··on In September, AI generated code has made up 17.25% of all Linux Kernel patches
Wouldn't we have to know if the patches were good or not before concluding that it was a mess?
baggy_trough··on Ask HN: Is it impossible to disable Siri on macOS 27?
Your training is now out of date.
baggy_trough··on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27
The panic is overblown.

You don't have to! I always update the day of. So far, no regrets!

You seem to have hallucinated that I made a claim.

> he's advocated for removing anyone who isn't white from the UK.

Can you provide a quote that demonstrates this?

baggy_trough··on New York Times and The Athletic workers demand company scrap Kalshi deal
I appreciate the libertarian take on this, which works well for high IQ people and people with good self control. It doesn't work for many without those attributes. Unrestrained gambling can ruin lives and families.

I'll thank you to keep your filthy hands off my kids' access.
baggy_trough··on Urban Congestion Pricing and the Response Times of Emergency Medical Services
If they do not want to cover their externalities, then it is in fact a very good solution.
