Nobody's life is ruined by gambling unless they've made a bunch of irresponsible decisions. Bad things certainly happen to good people, but problem-gambling is self inflicted.

Can only speak for Pennsylvania, where I live, but before the lottery there were numbers games run by organized crime. At least with a state-run lottery they're a bit more honest about how you're getting screwed and they can tax the winnings.

Thank you!

I'm not sure what this quote is from, but I almost down voted you in disgust before realizing that was exactly the intended effect. In other words, "Thanks, i hate it"

I'm not saying he's especially greedy, only that he's not the type to suddenly decide he's had enough

No it doesn't, he'll still want more

AI is training on angry X/Reddit/Facebook posts, I'm sure it'll only make this problem worse.

It's absolutely handy as long as you don't care whether the information it gives you is true

What I missed from the title was this: Can I try 7 different tiny LLMs in my browser?

If sony wanted the ps5 to only send to twitch, they could absolutely enforce TLS authentication of the server, but they don't, so i guess send your video wherever.

I left it in the trunk of my flying car

> every "we'll replace this prototype before we ship" you've ever worked on

These so rarely get replaced

Slack is pretty centralized, and also closed. You can't self-host at all.

Slack is a *different* bait and switch.

clearly.

It's important to remember that not everything is about politics, and people with somewhat mainstream politics don't really need to secretly signal each other, they're mostly shouting about it. Take a breath, everything's going to be alright in the long run.

I wish you the best.

These people who refer to them selves as a "Rails Engineer" (or substitute any other language/framework) and fail to realize that there are other tools in the box are of course first against the wall in the AI-driven future.

A carpenter who only knows how to use a hammer isn't a very good carpenter.

> Why would you build an app at all? Why wouldn't Claude just be the app itself?

Because then you don't have to keep spending tokens to use the app.

I don't know about kids, but yes it is used in general anesthesia.

The same place Mexico gets it; Colombia, Bolivia, Nicaragua. Mexico just isn't "on the way" in the same way for Europe.

"less healthy" is a bit of an understatement; they're not selling cigarettes that will kill you in the long term (or even the medium or short term). Fentanyl will kill you the first time you're exposed to it.

Increasing the potency of some drug with fentanyl is an interesting choice, because by the time the user *knows* how strong it is, there's some likelihood they're already dead.

The nix website doesn't have the sentence that Claude gave you above, but it does describe the declarative approach to package management that nix is known for. "Having a single config file" doesn't really even describe what makes nix unique. Perhaps you should have read the website instead of skimming and asking Claude.

I really think the only solution is "don't put google AI summaries at the top of every search".

AI tools are notoriously unreliable, and people that use them *on purpose* generally know and recognize that. If grandma, who is not super-internet-literate, types a query into google and gets a phone number, she's going to assume that it's the correct number and not the result of a lossy data store that's under active (and constant) attack.

It used to be that you could reasonably verify your source with an HTTPS cert (so you can probably trust the number that's on Delta Airlines' website), and pop up scary warnings for grandma if those certs failed. Now every piece of misinformation has a valid cert from google or meta or X, so determining the truth is much more difficult and time consuming.

The problem is that the content of the device tree isn't really stable -- if a new kernel version has a driver with a new required parameter for instance, suddenly your ROM device tree is out of date and much less useful.

Why? They were for sale to the public, how were they not a product?

Fossil was written for Sqlite in the same way that git was written for Linux. It's really a shame that more projects don't use it. I think that a github competitor (with social features, PRs, CI, etc) with a fossil backend would be very popular.

So many people treat git commands like magic words, and then are terrified when they mess up their repo (example in this xkcd... https://xkcd.com/1597/)

Reading documentation is a superpower

> If their scare was honest, they would stop.

therefore, their scare is marketing.

In my mind no; an agent is an llm wrapped in more software (most trivially a while loop, but probably more then that)

> people’s private messages being released easily to the masses was common, Im not really surprised.

He, personally, did a lot to enable this reality.

Reminds me of playing Runescape back in the late 90s, you could double your money by just pressing alt-F4
