moi2388··on Iran's new plan for the most important oil route: Make every ship pay to pass
Because they can’t. They can’t get the coalition even though they tried, and the straight is too narrow to be able to actually ensure safe passage.
moi2388··on Scientists reverse autism-like symptoms in mice
> Either you evolve to analyse other people or the world around, not both.

What makes you think people can’t do both?

moi2388··on EU countries move to revive temporary message-scanning regime
Kids going to the library is modern life? Sure.

You don’t need to control them 24/7. Some however you need to restrict more than others.

That means no personal device and talking to the school about what they do with the device there. There are teachers present and the kid can hand it in during break time.

> I say this again and again in various places - something wise needs to be done about children and the internet.

There already is. It’s called parenting.

If your child cannot handle the internet, do not give him access to it.

If your child can only handle supervised internet, only allow it from the home pc.

If your kid, like quite some children, is perfectly capable of navigating the internet and talking about worrisome content they encounter, give them a personal device.

This sounds like the parents who are shocked that their kid does criminal stuff, but let him or her be on the streets till midnight without any supervision.

moi2388··on Vulnerability reports are not special anymore
And if you mean “people who can live off of tournament winnings” it’s not more than 26.

It’s like most of art, writing, and sports. The only way to make money is by becoming a teacher.

moi2388··on Prefer duplication over the wrong abstraction (2016)
I don’t mind duplication at all. I mind undiscoverable duplication.

But if I have an interface and three subclasses with duplicated or almost duplicated code, this is quite easy to find.

That’s much nicer than an abstract base class where only some children override the methods, because now I need to check which ones actually do.

moi2388··on Hyundai buys Boston Dynamics
I’m sorry, what is that personal robot going to do for me? Do the laundry for which I already have a machine? Dry my clothes for which I already have a machine? Vacuum clean for which I already have a robot? Cook for which I already have an oven? Do the dishes for which I already have a machine?
moi2388··on I told them forced consent was unlawful. 5 years later it cost Elkjop €1.8M
Up to 4% of turnover. So if they make more than that it is still profitable to keep going.

Not that it is likely that they make that much in profit, but still. There probably shouldn’t be a limit, and there probably should be personal legal consequences such as jail time for repeat offenders.

moi2388··on Feds freaked over Fable 5 after 'fix this code', not jailbreak, say researchers
I’m not sure I understand. Does this say that you ask Fable to review code with vulnerabilities and implement fixes, then Fable runs the code to verify thereby running the exploits?

If so, that’s expected, isn’t it? Is that not exactly what it’s for?

moi2388··on Leaked OpenAI financials show $38.5B loss and compute burn
Of course it is. But stocks aren’t a measure of current profitability. It’s a bet on future profits.

How many serious, large AI players are there? Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, and who else exactly?

At least one of them will probably win. And winning here means billing almost all companies for AI and automation, consumers, perhaps robotics and research.. and that potential earning is massive.

So yes, I will pay 10 times the worth for the stock now, but paying 1000 per stock for a chance of owning all that future profit is not that outrageous.

moi2388··on The hallucinogenic mushroom that contains no known psychedelic
The hallmark symptom of these mushrooms are Lilliputian hallucinations. This is a clinically defined psychiatric condition characterized by the perception of numerous tiny human, animal, or fantasy-like figures in one’s environment. They’re often very realistic, three dimensional figures said to be colorfully dressed, very mobile, and interacting with the physical world—like climbing up chairs or tables, or clinging to surfaces.
moi2388··on Windows 11 users are tired of MS account requirements creeping into everything
Product owners are the worst thing to happen to products since sliced bread.
moi2388··on The hallucinogenic mushroom that contains no known psychedelic
It does?

“ Patients describe colourful figures only a few centimetres tall, marching, dancing and climbing over the furniture.”

moi2388··on The hallucinogenic mushroom that contains no known psychedelic
Oh that sounds much less fun.
moi2388··on FPS.cob: A first person shooter in COBOL
So a mixer and an oven? Or does that not count because it’s 2 buttons to bake something?
moi2388··on Upcoming breaking changes for npm v12
Fortunately npm was a shitshow long before ai
moi2388··on German ruling declares Google liable for false answers in AI Overviews
LLMs are deterministic, they are only non-deterministic when you add a temperature.
moi2388··on The Smallest Brain You Can Build: A Perceptron in Python
I’m sorry, but this entire article is written by AI and I’m just so done with this.
moi2388··on Why are so many young people getting cancer?
Well, what if it’s not a single cause, but a combination of

- older parents

- higher bmi

- processed food

- pesticides

- less exercise

- more stress

- hpv

- air quality

- pfas

- lack of sleep

moi2388··on EU-banned pesticides found in rice, tea and spices
Oh you import food from third world countries and it’s terrible? Who would have guessed.

Better keep pushing the farmers in the EU away for more of these great “trade deals”

moi2388··on Building from zero after addiction, prison, and a felony
Why is the first beer the most critical choice?

Why isn’t the last beer the most critical one, for example?

moi2388··on Dutch gov't will only allow European company to operate DigiD platform
It often is. Above a certain value you need EU wide bidding.

Post and trains already had to be privatised since them being government owned was deemed anti competitive by EU standards

moi2388··on What happens if Japan takes in zero immigrants?
Yes. Now it’s through a judicial army based on criminalising speech, and instead of based on a country, based on a religion.

Because that’s so much better

moi2388··on What happens if Japan takes in zero immigrants?
It is, merely saying what he meant
moi2388··on Queen bees emerge from special wax chambers
Folic acid, vitamin D, iron, calcium, iodine, omega-3
moi2388··on What happens if Japan takes in zero immigrants?
Unbridled immigration doesn’t work, and that’s become pretty clear.

You need limits, and integration, assimilation would be even better.

moi2388··on What happens if Japan takes in zero immigrants?
A rate below 0.99… so less than 1 kid per 2 adults
moi2388··on Artificial intelligence is not conscious – Ted Chiang
What is consciousness, McGlockenshire?
moi2388··on Artificial intelligence is not conscious – Ted Chiang
Really Chiang?

Alright. What is consciousness? Please provide a definition that somehow encompasses all humans and excludes all current AI.

I’ll wait.

moi2388··on U of T researchers demonstrate AI worm could target any online device
Unless your field of academia is digital. Perhaps this is why he wanted to attack printers on the network.
