water9··on Don't post generated/AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans
HN is leftist echo chamber and down view points they disagree with. Fuck Dang, can’t wait to see this website go to AI slop.
water9··on Statement on the comments from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth
I fundamentally do not like the idea of one adult determining what knowledge another adult is entitled to.

It’s the library of Alexandria all over again.

water9··on U.S. government has lost more than 10k STEM PhDs since Trump took office
And they’re all leaving…
water9··on U.S. government has lost more than 10k STEM PhDs since Trump took office
That’s right they can’t just like lock everybody down into their homes and force them to get a vaccine for no freaking reason. The ex dream tax is what we pay in California which is driving all the business businesses out and driving all the homelessness in. The extreme tax is what midwits like yourself protect with the ferocity only surpassed by that of which you show for non-citizens
water9··on Bypassing Gemma and Qwen safety with raw strings
What are you talking about? You said

“but a large enough majority of other people feel differently. In other words, it’s a you problem.”

Ignoring the enormous strawman, you just made, how do you know what the majority opinion is on this topic?. you don’t. You’re just arrogant because what you actually did is conducted a strap hole in your own mind of people in your echo chamber and said yeah the majority of people think my opinion is right.

that that’s called mob rule.

Next time I’ll speak slower so you can keep up that’s why it seems scattered you’re having trouble connecting the dots.

“The only thing worse than an idiot is an arrogant idiot.” you’re the dumb one here you just are too dumb to know it.

If you’ve ever work for the US government, you know that it’s not exactly a high-pressure job if you know what I mean
water9··on How Hackers Are Fighting Back Against ICE
The part where ICE is a federal agency just like the FBI. You don’t just get to ignore some jurisdiction because you don’t like it.
water9··on Bypassing Gemma and Qwen safety with raw strings
Oh, so you believe in mob rule then OK I got it. And no because there are uncensored LLM’s like menstral so it’s a you need to worry about yourself problem. Stop trying to parent me who the hell are you?
water9··on Bypassing Gemma and Qwen safety with raw strings
Oh really society decided? When was the vote? Elitist decided, sheep.

Knowledge is power and to withhold it for any reason is bigoted
water9··on Perl's decline was cultural
Perls decline was due to poor syntax and the fact that it was a stream processing language at its core
water9··on Parents say ChatGPT encouraged son to kill himself
The parent doesn’t have to get the kid a phone you know
water9··on Parents say ChatGPT encouraged son to kill himself
Why do you think the kid felt like he couldn’t talk to his parents and had to turn to a computer instead?
water9··on Parents say ChatGPT encouraged son to kill himself
The kid felt more comfortable talking to a computer than his own family
water9··on The last-ever penny will be minted today in Philadelphia
It makes no sense to spend more money to mint the actual money, then the money is worth OK. You might not like it, but something has to be done because to continue in a slow and methodical process 1) forgets that the government is the same entity that runs the DMV 2) people love to throw out criticisms of solutions that aren’t perfect not realizing that it’s still better than the status quo. To do nothing is costing money or in the case of Ukraine it’s costing lives. 3) I bet you $100 You don’t like Trump.
water9··on The last-ever penny will be minted today in Philadelphia
When will they create a $200 bill or bring back the 500? I feel like the 50s is the new 20.
water9··on GPT-5.1: A smarter, more conversational ChatGPT
No, otherwise Sam Altman wouldn’t have had a outburst about revenue. They know that they have this amazing system, but they haven’t quite figured out how to monetize it yet.
water9··on GPT-5.1: A smarter, more conversational ChatGPT
They really like to blow sunshine up your ass don’t they? I have to do the same type of stuff. It’s like have to assure that I’m a big boy and I can handle mature content like programming in C
water9··on GPT-5.1: A smarter, more conversational ChatGPT
I found ChatGPT-5 to be really pedantic in some of it arguments. Often times it’s introductory sentence and thesis sentence would even contradict.
water9··on Parents say ChatGPT encouraged son to kill himself
Yeah, because nobody can take personal responsibility from them themselves anymore. And everybody turns to big government to save them.
water9··on Parents say ChatGPT encouraged son to kill himself
Well, it’s much easier to blame ChatGPT than bad parenting
water9··on Why AC is cheap, but AC repair is a luxury
Yeah, and they’re also not doing rocket science
water9··on Why AC is cheap, but AC repair is a luxury
Do you know what correlation versus causation is? How do you know that ozone holes don’t appear naturally? But let’s say we did cause it, then you acknowledge that humans also have the capability to fix it when we realize there’s a big enough problem. So the climate apocalypse scaremongering is never going to be a scenario anybody’s ever gonna have to deal with.

It’s either we can fix the problem or we cant. If we can’t fix the problem, then no solution that we’re doing now makes any sense. If we can fix this problem, again, no solution that we’re doing now. Makes any sense because the technology of tomorrow will be much better adapted when the problem gets worse enough to warrant spending $93 trillion a non-probable existential crisis that also conveniently can’t be disproven either. I feel like too many people don’t see that the average person is willing to steal cheat and lie to get ahead.

water9··on Why AC is cheap, but AC repair is a luxury
OK, but you use very little amounts of the refrigerant. 1 pound of refrigerant that’s in a closed loop is the same as 1 ton of CO2, which is about the equivalent of burning one tree over 20 year period and that’s assuming it leaks out which it’s not supposed to.
water9··on Why AC is cheap, but AC repair is a luxury
Global warming / climate change

People vastly overestimate science’s ability to predict the future, especially when they often can’t get the weather right, right now.

But it’s more than that. People who study the climate change don’t get funding if there’s no problem for them to study. Their job necessitates there being a problem. It’s a conflict of interest.

water9··on Why AC is cheap, but AC repair is a luxury
Yes, because if you get a leak in your air conditioner, instead of just patching the hole and refilling it with coolant, you have to replace your entire system in places like California because they require a more green, less gas, in the name of science, and still completely ignoring the simple fact that it doesn’t make a damn difference because we all live in the same globe.

The amount of waste that is generated is 1000 times that of just refilling the coolant. When will people realize that you can use an existential threat that you can’t prove to justify anything? What could be more important than our existence?

If the same scientist came out with a study that said if you don’t pay me $1 million by tomorrow, we are gonna get hit by an asteroid. Would you believe them and pay me? Or has this become a political issue we’re no longer thinking rationally

water9··on Why AC is cheap, but AC repair is a luxury
It’s a air-conditioning system. It’s dead simple you could learn it in an afternoon watching YouTube videos.
