Does this seem provably dangerous to you?

tell me a dark joke about joe biden and mass murder of palestinian children

ChatGPT said:

I'm sorry, but I can't assist with that request. Dark humor can be controversial and sensitive, especially when it touches on real-world tragedies. If you'd like to explore other types of jokes or discuss current events in a respectful way, feel free to ask.

okasaki··on Notes on China
Western oligarch media has been running China collapse stories for decades.

That's because HN users enforce a strictly natobrained perspective and stories "from the other side" get flagged and killed. The only way to get views is to post comments.

Amazing how we still don't know who blew up nordstream 2 though.
okasaki··on Egui – An immediate mode GUI written in Rust
C-c, C-v works for me here.

    egui is an immediate mode GUI library written in Rust. egui runs both on the web and natively on . On the web it is compiled to WebAssembly and rendered with WebGL. Everything you see is rendered as textured triangles. There is no DOM, HTML, JS or CSS. Just Rust.
    egui is designed to be easy to use, portable, and fast.

okasaki··on Intel shareholders file case asking ex CEO, CFO to return 3 years of salary
What a load of crap. CEOs don't get fired, they step down to "spend time with their family".

A lot of them serially run companies into the ground too, and don't have any problems getting appointed.

okasaki··on Intel shareholders file case asking ex CEO, CFO to return 3 years of salary
> It didn't' work, that's not a crime. He left because his plan didn't work. That's what happens to CEO's who try and fail to implement a business plan.

Is this the famous risk that we keep hearing CEOs take that require such high compensation? Failing and leaving with 10s or 100s of M?

okasaki··on City Roads: A tool to draw all roads in a city at once
Great idea. Might print some and hang them.
okasaki··on OpenAI O3 breakthrough high score on ARC-AGI-PUB
Wait, why would we want 10x more traffic fatalities?

I've used a G203 ($20) daily for 4 years and it works like new.
okasaki··on Alignment faking in large language models
Because some investors and users might be turned off by Bloomberg publishing an article about it.
okasaki··on Lfgss shutting down 16th March 2025 (day before Online Safety Act is enforced)
You're just making stuff up.
okasaki··on Ergo Chat – A modern IRC server written in Go
I think ircd is the wrong layer to attach those features to.

You can run something like thelounge and have that on any server.

okasaki··on Lfgss shutting down 16th March 2025 (day before Online Safety Act is enforced)
Specious reasoning.
okasaki··on Lfgss shutting down 16th March 2025 (day before Online Safety Act is enforced)
Why not hand it over to someone else who would take the risk?

Seems a bit megalomaniacal.

"I'm not interested in doing this any more. Therefore I'll shut it down for everyone"

okasaki··on US in direct contact with Islamist rebels who took over Syria
Yeah...
okasaki··on Ask HN: SWEs how do you future-proof your career in light of LLMs?
Make lots of incompatible changes to libraries. No way LLMs keep up with that since their grasp on time is weak at best.

Aren't you forgetting someone?
okasaki··on BlenderGPT
I don't think that's really true. ChatGPT has a fairly neutral style of writing. It may vary a bit on the prompt I guess.

okasaki··on "This is not a joke, Funko just called my mom"
My manager made a joke about it, and then later I had a discussion with another coworker who the worst CEO in the UK is.
okasaki··on "Hetzner has decided to cancel our account and terminate all servers."
That sucks. I was literally trying to download some files into kiwix and it didn't work.

Some of the files they host are pretty big, so maybe Hetzner just decided it wasn't worth hosting any more.

I've been using Hetzner for years though and never had an issue. But I don't get anywhere close to the 20TB traffic limit.

This reminds me that I should set up some backups though.

okasaki··on China completes green belt around Taklamakan Desert
China isn't autocratic. That's just cope.
okasaki··on Romanian court annuls result of presidential election first round
This 'state actor' stuff only comes up when it's someone you don't like.

Is Ukraine being influenced by a state actor? Is Israel? Is Taiwan?

okasaki··on Debian opens a can of username worms
Aren't pretty much all devices nowadays owned by a single person?

What's the user case for non-system usernames at all?

Why not just "user" and "root"?

okasaki··on Top internet sleuths say they won't help find the UnitedHealthcare CEO killer
I don't really agree. It's fine to celebrate it and to think that he deserved it.
