cutemonster··on IDF killed Gaza aid workers at point blank range in 2025 massacre: Report
Replying to a genocide terror attack by starting to genocide kill civilians in the area the terrorists came from, is wrong.

But that's what you're apparently supporting, looking at how you're writing.

Plus you are misrepresenting what I said.

cutemonster··on IDF killed Gaza aid workers at point blank range in 2025 massacre: Report
Sounds as if you're defending genocide style killing civilians.
cutemonster··on Why some clothes shrink in the wash and how to unshrink them
Thanks for mentioning, the escalator was interesting to read about
cutemonster··on Voyager 1 is about to reach one light-day from Earth
How much do/can they use their own thrusters to change/correct their directions? I'm guessing it's just fractions of a degree? And needs to be extremely precise, done weeks? before reaching the next planet to slingshot around?
cutemonster··on Meta buried 'causal' evidence of social media harm, US court filings allege
> 0.15% of Meta revenue

That must be a gigantic amount of money, you (or someone else) don't happen to know who any of those people (or organizations?) are?

cutemonster··on Work after work: Notes from an unemployed new grad watching the job market break
Wow! Amazing. Can I ask, did the employer find out? (Did the employer like it?)
cutemonster··on Private Equity's New Venture: Youth Sports
You can't, the PE companies buy the hockey rinks
cutemonster··on Gemini 3
Are there really boxing capable mainframes nowadays?

Otherwise I think the mainframe would lose because of being too passive

> farm out referrals

Why did they do that?

cutemonster··on The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity (1987) [pdf]
Is that article AI generated, if you happen to know? It was pretty interesting in any case
cutemonster··on The profitable startup
Google Cloud and Gemini are two examples
cutemonster··on The profitable startup
That definition, I never heard before. I think you're confusing yourself and others if you make up your own meaning of words.

A startup can be profitable.

cutemonster··on NPM flooded with malicious packages downloaded more than 86k times
I suppose it depends on what you're protecting, who's out there to get you, and how boring and time consuming it is to clean up after a breach (can't that take weeks or months), etc.

Aren't you're a bit asking "When X transportation method isn't used by everyone, can it really be any good?" :-)

cutemonster··on NPM flooded with malicious packages downloaded more than 86k times
It is a realistic solution.
cutemonster··on How ancient people saw themselves
Not having half of your kids die, could be one thing:

"For most of human history, around 1 in 2 newborns died before reaching the age of 15. By 1950, that figure had declined to around one-quarter globally. By 2020, it had fallen to 4%."

cutemonster··on PSF has withdrawn $1.5M proposal to US Government grant program
Reading your other comments, I was just thinking that you seemed to group everyone who look the same, together, and think about them as if they were 1 type of person you could generalize about. For example, white men, or black men, or women. - So, yes I suppose you did.

For example, if your country gets attacked, primarily the men go and defend their country and people. Is that "thoroughly awesome"? Anyway have a nice day

cutemonster··on The Programmer Identity Crisis
Lots of READMEs? Might make total sense, if lines of code added, is a metrics the managers look at.

Can't be any compilation errors in a README, no need to worry about bugs. And if they're long and boring enough, no one will ever read them.

AI generated READMEs = free metrics bonus points, for the performance reviews :-)

cutemonster··on Replacement.ai
The Nordic countries are pretty ok functioning democracies, with many smaller political parties. And pretty high taxes

(What do you refer to with "this"?)

cutemonster··on Why are Big Tech companies a threat to human rights?
I find it lacking that the report doesn't mention TikTok or X / Twitter. TikTok has been used for manipulating voters in Europe.
cutemonster··on China's New Rare Earth and Magnet Restrictions Threaten US Defense Supply Chains
At the same time, wouldn't a bright adversary hide their intent and capabilities?
cutemonster··on China's New Rare Earth and Magnet Restrictions Threaten US Defense Supply Chains
... if they are reasonably bright and are thinking reasonably far ahead, and care about their country
cutemonster··on The great software quality collapse or, how we normalized catastrophe
You get paid

And it's the employers problem, if you don't react too much emotionally

cutemonster··on Canadian bill would strip internet access from 'specified persons', no warrant
> hollowed out economy based on services and finance

Just an example from today:

"N8n raises $180M (n8n.io)"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45525336

That's what the US (and Europe?) seems to invest in - but things like that doesn't make the US any more competitive with China.

What if instead it was $180M in new green mining tech or something.

cutemonster··on Vibe engineering
I like "YOLO vibe coding" or maybe "YOLO vibing" for short, if the context is clear :-)

Hmm another idea is "extreme vibe coding" as opposed to "extreme programming",

but those who did "extreme vibe coding" wouldn't know what it meant

cutemonster··on How Israeli actions caused famine in Gaza, visualized
Yes, things look pretty bright for Netanyahu, and the others in the Israeli state who want to do ethnic cleansing or worse. And settlers who want to do ethnic cleansing (not everyone! a minority I presume), are happy too.

Not many mistakes made here, just others who are mistaken about the goals

cutemonster··on Jane Goodall has died
I'm guessing just one in a hundred is that person. But maybe not impossible, after all, that'd it'd be someone like her. Did you see what she saw? From the article:

> Her most disturbing studies came in the mid-1970s, when she and her team of field workers began to record a series of savage attacks.

> The incidents grew into what Goodall called the four-year war, a period of brutality carried out by a band of male chimpanzees from a region known as the Kasakela Valley. The marauders beat and slashed to death all the males in a neighboring colony and subjugated the breeding females, essentially annihilating an entire community.

cutemonster··on Jane Goodall has died
Not necessarily! You can be both a kind person, and build a strong defence, knowing how dangerous our species is. Although maybe rare.
cutemonster··on Jane Goodall has died
I mean, Goodall liked the cartoon but that doesn't mean everyone likes it!
cutemonster··on Play snake in the URL address bar
I got 23 points but I got distracted!
cutemonster··on The AI coding trap
Maybe you're right both of you, but you're thinking about two pretty different software projects and domains :-)
