they can take novel things. so my novel
hmmokidk··on Why Japanese companies do so many different things
Probably whatever George Orwell wrote after he picked up a gun and fought on their behalf.
hmmokidk··on The Companies Cutting Headcount for AI Will Lose to the Ones Who Didn't
I think there are risks:

- AI pricing is variable, probably the cheapest it will ever be right now

- AI produces a lot more shit for humans to review, and you will always need humans. If you don’t focus on keeping things simple you will probably play yourself unless you’re good at separating out blast radiuses.

- I see a lot of super low quality work that doesn’t solve the problem but it’s like look that guy solved the problem in one day! Promote him! Everyone is happy except for the end users who for whatever reason are being totally ignored (whose problem it fails to appropriately solve) and I saw this in accounting software so…hello eventual lawsuits?

hmmokidk··on Fender escalates legal campaign against S-style guitars
I don’t think this is true. I think it’s a beginner musician attitude (due to branding) but musicians often grow out of it.

I would never get a fender for quality / value reasons. Some of them look cool; which may be why they want to sue.

But the quality of the instrument and the sound is too important to me personally.

To me 3K is the most i’ve paid for an instrument, and I gig with two <600$ guitars.

I am sure you could encrypt the warmth message somehow.
hmmokidk··on Study shows two child household must earn $400k/year to afford childcare
Difference between the capitalism our parents had vs us. They had taxes on the rich. So they could afford homes and retire and never needed 3 jobs to scrape by. In fact one job was enough to afford a home and a family.
hmmokidk··on US Job Openings Decline to Lowest Level in More Than a Year
Massive wealth redistribution is just another word for Taxes.

When we taxed the rich we were happy. It’s literally all we gotta do.

hmmokidk··on Late night pizzeria nearby The Pentagon has suddenly surged in traffic
People selling drugs bit is not true. No one gets addicted bc the sellers. They get addicted because of the conditions of their own lives.

With the exception of medicinally. Like lost op painkillers. But that’s different than what you’re saying.

hmmokidk··on Richest People Gained Record $2.2T in 2025, Fueling Calls for Wealth Tax
No reason why my neighbor shouldn’t be able to afford health care for his sick mother.

In other words, no reason why all the wealth needs to be hoarded at the top. It needs to be shared. Otherwise good people are suffering needlessly.

Really very cruel and heartless to just be transferring wealth instead of allowing it to circulate.

hmmokidk··on Iron Beam: Israel's first operational anti drone laser system
So it goes from Us Citizens to the wealthy who sell the weapon systems. That’s what none is. Cool.

Pretty sure this is incredibly significant but what do I know
hmmokidk··on Python on the Edge: Fast, sandboxed, and powered by WebAssembly
Docker would be hacky and cumbersome especially when compared to anything assembly like.
hmmokidk··on My thoughts on renting versus buying
Befriending is a weak argument, unless there’s something I am missing. Growing up my family kind of befriended one neighbor, and we just know what they’re up to and who bought and demolished their home.

So like… Is that really that important?

hmmokidk··on Anthropic judge rejects $1.5B AI copyright settlement
…Aaron Swartz?!
hmmokidk··on Action was the best 8-bit programming language
I like it because I definitely spend brain cycles trying to figure out what is being closed!

If no one contests it then it’s his. If one contests it then might tends to make right, unfortunately.
hmmokidk··on I've always wanted to be an open-source maintainer- now I regret it
“Umbrellable” makes me miss my nieces and nephews. I’m getting old!
hmmokidk··on I've always wanted to be an open-source maintainer- now I regret it
Where are you seeing complaints, all I see is the opposite.

> While providing direct support to people is one of the most valuable rewards, combining that with lack of time, support on GitHub issues, continuing development and maintaining enjoyment while working on the project is hard, really hard.

He is just saying it’s a lot of work.

> And this is where I felt like I shoot myself in the foot. I’ve built something valuable to people, decided to open-source it and now I’ve to carry the responsibilities of maintaining an open-source project. I’ve always wanted to reach this stage, and now I sort of regret it, because it’s really hard to balance maintenance with other things in life. I mean maybe I’m getting too old, but I just feel so tired after work, and I don’t feel like having to maintain an open-source project while being tired.

Poor dudes just tired.

FWIW complaining about a free umbrella likely points toward being entitled and unsocialized. Those traits typically make a person unbearable to others.

hmmokidk··on RFK Jr. Promises to Reveal the 'Cause' of Autism Next Month
Lmao
hmmokidk··on The Lives and Loves of James Baldwin
Calling a person out is integral to any relationship, and can be done endearingly. People need to be reminded of reality at times. Humans are delusional animals.
hmmokidk··on 2,500-year-old Siberian 'ice mummy' had intricate tattoos, imaging reveals
Why? He is that interested he is willing to permanently get his skin. This is the right person for the job.
