bippihippi1··on Microsoft only lets you opt out of AI photo scanning 3x a year
how sure are you that facial grouping data means the same thing to you as to MS lawyers?

all facial grouping data will be permanently removed within 30 days

bippihippi1··on Microsoft only lets you opt out of AI photo scanning 3x a year
where does it say turning it off deletes the data? it doesn't even say that turning it off stops them scanning your photos. the option is "do you want to see the AI tags" Google search history is the same. Turning off or deleting history only affects your copy of the data.

most people probably won't know MS is doing this at all until their data is leaked
bippihippi1··on Email immutability matters more in a world with AI
removing methods to circumvent monitoring and control of information makes it easier for a bad actor to take advantave of these tools. Yes it's nice for the good guys to be able to keep their code secure, but do you want a dictator to be able to do that?

can you use css in the design tool? a designer needs to learn some way of specifying layout and interactivity so it might as well be css
bippihippi1··on Show HN: Autism Simulator
Is this confirmation bias?

Do you think Autistics are a small group so you're finding a way to argue that?

Why do you care if a person you think has minor struggles labels themselves autistic?

bippihippi1··on Show HN: Autism Simulator
he's saying that the label Autism includes different traits that various people have or don't have. He's falsely using that semantic manipulation to imply that people use it as an excuse not to deal with the conplexities of life.

saying "that's insulting" doesn't impact his assertion. you have to meet their logic where it is to disagree. lucky this case was so easy.

democracy is the process of defining what the laws are and who enforces them. The executive branch is not allowed to decide what laws to enforce. That's what an autocracy is.

what is the advantage of using that over 2 variables? the cost is extra mental load, what does it buy?
bippihippi1··on Dicing an Onion, the Mathematically Optimal Way
also should consider how easy it is to hole each shape steady as you cut it. how hard is it to actually implement the radial cutting procedure?
bippihippi1··on TODOs aren't for doing
sometimes I use todod for regex search and replace to refactor later. like to mark all the places where I want to later change the logging level, but for now I want to info log the query headers.

maybe that includes the software and hardware to run the stoplight, the salaries of the operators and maintenance etc and their admin staff, and the all the analysis to figure out when it should be red/green, all that stuff.
bippihippi1··on Google AI Ultra
how long you amortize the R&D prices over is important too. Do significant discoveries remain relevant for long enough to have enough time to spread the cost out? I'd bet in the current ML market advamces are happening fast enough that they aren't factoring the R&D cost into pricing rn. In fact getting user's to use it is probably giving them a lot of value. Think of apl the data.

it takes a lot more time to understand code and find meaningful bugs than it does to read most novels

build from source or bust!
bippihippi1··on The humble for loop in Rust
afair I've mostly only used fold when doing maths not covered by the standard sum or product. Fold is similar to map reduce but it's just one expression.

the point seems to be making a small binary to run language model. How useful is that? From a functional perspective, I guess not very but the model can be improved. From a performance / cost perspective, also not very because most of the cost is in training the model and small binary isn't necessarily indicative of quick. I guess it's just kind of interesting that it doesn't take that much code to run the model.

eliminating the noise makes the useful information clearer, but the information describing the noise is lost
bippihippi1··on Why America's economy is soaring ahead of its rivals
what if I want the same space? that's the assumption
bippihippi1··on Why America's economy is soaring ahead of its rivals
The first point is reasonable enough, but the point still stands you can't find the same size house in the city for the suburb price. Most cities simply don't have more than a handful of spacious houses with big yards.

Your second point is invalid, as you're arguing against his assumptions. It's only possible to argue againt someone's logic, arguing someones assuptions is the same as calling names. I like woodwork and have alternatives.

bippihippi1··on Comparing AWS S3 with Cloudflare R2: Price, Performance and User Experience
it loses trust with customers when the simple setup is flawed. S3 is rightly built to support as much egress as any customer would want, but wrong to make it complex to set up rules to limit the bandwidth and price.

It should be possible to use the service, especially common ones like S3 with little knowledge of architecture and stuff.

bippihippi1··on Speeding up the Rust edit-build-run cycle
like a perf trace?
bippihippi1··on Speeding up the Rust edit-build-run cycle
the callstacks are hard to read and watching variables across context boundaries is difficult. yea you can pause the program with the debugger, but doing so doesn't give much of a picture of how the program is functioning. I've found seeing the prints from all the 'threads' gives a better sense of what's happening
bippihippi1··on Speeding up the Rust edit-build-run cycle
are there debugging tools specifically for situations like that? do you just write code to test manually? How do you ensure dev builds don't break stuff like that even without considering debugging?

when you write async JS code the debugger essentially adds no value over printing
