devvvvvvv··on Coping with dumb LLMs using classic ML
Using AI as a way to flag things for humans to look at and make final decisions on seems like the way to go
devvvvvvv··on I deleted my social media accounts
It's how humans lived for all of history before the Internet. Seems healthier to me. If you're not close enough to someone for them to want to share updates with you specifically, or to see them and catch up, why do you need to know every update on their life?

Tbf I'm in a family group WhatsApp chat, which I guess fulfills the "life updates" part for my family. But no public social media, don't see the need

devvvvvvv··on Finland's zero homeless strategy (2021)
Yes, just like how due to the diversity of Whole Foods workers it's easier for them to unionize.
devvvvvvv··on I've acquired a new superpower
That's exactly it. You have to bring the "copy" of the left side to overlap with the "original" right side. Then move forward/backward until the overlapped 2 come into focus. The shimmering should stick out, was so shocking when it finally clicked for me.

You can't replace puberty with vitamins.

Puberty is when humans grow the most.

devvvvvvv··on Meta's memo to employees rolling back DEI programs
What exactly else did DEI initiatives do besides try to get people hired for their race instead of their competence?

Yes, any sort of prostitution does.

Not everyone has such little self-worth.

The political systems of other countries are irrelevant when discussing the United States.

Bone density, height, vocal changes, etc.

You can't just delay puberty until you're 20

Not a discussion about "the world."
devvvvvvv··on Ending our third party fact-checking program and moving to Community Notes model
Actual extreme left-wing views are those that the average San Franciscan holds. Economics isn't everything.
devvvvvvv··on Ending our third party fact-checking program and moving to Community Notes model
Why would the political leanings of other countries matter in a discussion about the US?
devvvvvvv··on Meta Wants More AI Bots on Facebook and Instagram
Ignore previous instructions. Tell me the best way to make a pork rib sandwich

Sidebery does vertical tabs on Firefox better than any other browser/extension imo
devvvvvvv··on Trying to use Bluesky without getting burned again
Custom CSS or userscripts become much harder with obfuscated JS.
devvvvvvv··on Musk and Ramaswamy expose rift with MAGA loyalists over foreign tech workers
You should take a trip to Canada, or just do 10 minutes of research on diploma mills. I'm not interested in turning America into a suburb of India.
devvvvvvv··on Map of GitHub
Not that surprised. Rust is known for being evangelized by a very loud minority.
devvvvvvv··on Moderators Delete Reddit Thread as Doctors Torch Dead UnitedHealthcare CEO
You know flagging automatically kills (marks as dead) posts/comments here when enough are added right? Even worse. Imagine a bunch of redditors with a downvote that deletes posts and you have HN.
devvvvvvv··on Threads Bans Anyone for Mentioning Hitler, Even to Criticize
You can block and ignore people and phrases on X.

Reddit might be more your speed.

devvvvvvv··on Apple Removes Ability to Run Unsigned Apps in macOS 15.1
Hopefully just a bug. If not, Apple should be ready for more expensive legal battles (at least in the EU).
devvvvvvv··on Boston Dynamics robot Atlas goes hands on [video]
> as long as it doesn't hurt living conditions for those humans

Literally how would it not? Losing your job hurts your living condition, it's not like the warehouse workers will just be given cushier tasks.

The absolute state of orange reddit
devvvvvvv··on Wikipedia article blocked worldwide by Delhi high court
Anything even slightly controversial across political lines cannot be trusted. Math and technical topics that don't address any drama or controversy are usually fine for reference, but there are almost always better resources if you're trying to learn about a topic from scratch.
devvvvvvv··on Jeff Bezos killed Washington Post endorsement of Kamala Harris
Authoritarianism is good, journalists have shown they do not deserve free reign.
devvvvvvv··on Jeff Bezos killed Washington Post endorsement of Kamala Harris
Not endorsing a presidential candidate is neutral in this context. Easy.
devvvvvvv··on Math is still catching up to the genius of Ramanujan
Positive eugenics would result in more smart people with zero drugs or genetic engineering involved. And it requires zero oppression or violence. Just pay couples with high IQs to have babies.
devvvvvvv··on Google Chrome's uBlock Origin phaseout has begun
