nilamo··on AWS North Virginia data center outage – resolved
> And honestly, everybody else's stuff is in use-1, so at least your failures are correlated with your customers lol.

Is it not a selling point to be able to say "we're still up while out competitors are down"?

nilamo··on Let's Buy Spirit Air
Consumer air travel is not a necessary service, though.
nilamo··on Edit store price tags using Flipper Zero
Hardware stores sell chainsaws. There might be a disclaimer about proper usage or safety guidelines or some such, but you're right... someone who intends to use something to commit a crime, will do so regardless of the text asking them not to.
nilamo··on Edit store price tags using Flipper Zero
Don't tell me, you think the store actually expects to sell all that milk before it goes bad?
nilamo··on AI chatbots could be making you stupider
A forklift can lift far more than the average human. Just like a train can carry more, faster, than a couple people carrying those goods. Your comment seems to imply that a forklift replaces the need to be strong or physically fit, which is obvious nonsense, so I'm not really sure what you're trying to say, here.
nilamo··on At long last, InfoWars is ours
Stopping the current owner of infowars from continuing is a valid "why". What happens after doesn't matter.
nilamo··on U.S. stocks are set to deliver their worst quarter in nearly four years
Obvious question has an obvious answer: America isn't ready to vote for a woman, much less a black woman.
nilamo··on Spring Boot Done Right: Lessons from a 400-Module Codebase
I'm not that deep into Java, but I was under the impression that things like Quarkus were starting to replace Spring in enterprise use...
nilamo··on What young workers are doing to AI-proof themselves
But cars will be 50% of their current cost, once all those useless managers and c-suite folks are replaced by ai. Right? Right??
nilamo··on Wayland set the Linux Desktop back by 10 years?
If you have a spare usb stick, the cost to trying them is only the download time. Each is capable of the same things, the differences are purely aesthetic. So try them out and see which you like best. Or install all three and switch each time you login.
nilamo··on Polymarket gamblers threaten to kill me over Iran missile story
Yes that is correct. Or if you're a player on a team, you could just... tank a game.
nilamo··on Lost Doctor Who episodes found
Is it still piracy if there's no other way to obtain it? Who are you pirating from? The past?
nilamo··on SBCL: A Sanely-Bootstrappable Common Lisp (2008) [pdf]
Is there any way to see the whole conversion, and not one specific reply in the middle of it?
nilamo··on Whistleblower claims ex-DOGE member says he took Social Security data to new job
I suppose the data just ended up in their hands at no fault of their own, through complete random happenstance, unrelated to their previous employment with DOGE?
nilamo··on Living human brain cells play DOOM on a CL1 [video]
> When someone makes a virtual girlfriend of it, is it really a disembodied person or just a smart answering machine?

And when you put that virtual girlfriend's brain into a sex bot, is it rape?

nilamo··on OpenAI agrees with Dept. of War to deploy models in their classified network
And all the survivors die from radiation? This must be a joke
nilamo··on Court finds Fourth Amendment doesn’t support broad search of protesters’ devices
This sounds great... in theory. And just sort of assumes that large casualties are acceptable. Or, even worse, that a lone individual can impart change via a well aimed shot, or something.

Both of which are wild and not something the average person should want or expect to happen. Which makes it even stranger that so many people say it all the time.

Have you stopped renegade cops in your community? Or are you only suggesting that other people do, knowing that anyone who attempts it will die?

It just seems insane to seriously suggest fighting a force that has tanks, drones, etc and has full info on where you are at any moment should they decide to take you out with a sniper, and the willingness to use all of those against you while calling you a terrorist.

nilamo··on ChatGPT Health fails to recognise medical emergencies – study
Amazing that some people thought a pseudorandom number generator would be good at diagnosing health issues it can't even see.
nilamo··on Court finds Fourth Amendment doesn’t support broad search of protesters’ devices
Are you suggesting people take up arms against police? Has that ever gone well for anyone, except as a quick way to die?
nilamo··on Dan Simmons, author of Hyperion, has died
Sometimes it's done right, like with The Expanse. Although the writers also wrote some of the episode scripts, so that probably helped...
nilamo··on I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?
A structured language without ambiguity is not, in general, how people think or express themselves. In order for a model to be good at interfacing with humans, it needs to adapt to our quirks.

Convincing all of human history and psychology to reorganize itself in order to better service ai cannot possibly be a real solution.

Unfortunately, the solution is likely going to be further interconnectivity, so the model can just ask the car where it is, if it's on, how much fuel/battery remains, if it thinks it's dirty and needs to be washed, etc

nilamo··on An Enslaved Gardener Transformed the Pecan into a Cash Crop
That's great! But it doesn't mean we've finished improving.
nilamo··on Platforms bend over backward to help DHS censor ICE critics, advocates say
I wish I understood how that works. Retail investors are so small, compared with hedge funds and whatnot, that "average people" cannot move a stock price significantly. So, when Trump tweets about a company, how does the stock move? Who is actually doing all that selling to drive the price down?

And, since the price almost always recovers within a week... does it even matter?

nilamo··on Beginning fully autonomous operations with the 6th-generation Waymo driver
It's a tongue-in-cheek description of how buses and trams work. ie: It's not a new idea, we just tacked "driverless" onto it.
nilamo··on Ireland rolls out basic income scheme for artists
Why fix one problem, when another problem also exists?
nilamo··on Amazon Ring's lost dog ad sparks backlash amid fears of mass surveillance
That's beside the point? Gaining security by losing freedom was always on the table. What's interesting is the cultural shift toward not caring about losing freedom.
nilamo··on U.S. jobs disappear at fastest January pace since great recession
We're looking for a change in slope based on overarching economic policy as a means of comparing two political parties. A global disaster is not a policy.
nilamo··on U.S. jobs disappear at fastest January pace since great recession
Joe Biden "created" jobs the way covid "created" job vacancies. Maybe time periods with worldwide upheaval should be taken with a little salt.
nilamo··on OpenClaw is what Apple intelligence should have been
Yes, there are some flaws. The first airplanes also had some flaws, and crashed more often than they didn't. That doesn't change how incredible it is, while it's improving.

Maybe, just maybe, this thing that was, until recently, just research papers, is not actually a finished product right now? Incredibly hot take, I know.
