Jesus_piece··on Apple introduces M6 and M5 Ultra for a big leap in performance and AI compute
Could you share what you did to find events to do? That sounds really cool
Jesus_piece··on Semaglutide linked to lower predicted dementia risk
Capitalist systems and dysfunctional healthcare in the US thrive on people with chronic unhealthy issues and habits
Jesus_piece··on Project Glasswing: Securing critical software for the AI era
Fully agree here. I think it’s evident more that mythos does not deliver step change results and more is a disappointment.. so let’s hype it up by further scaring the masses of its ‘mythic’ abilities
Jesus_piece··on Parental controls aren't for parents
It is sinister that this is overlooked by corporations by “accident”. What you are describing exactly what is sinister, that children’s safety controls and parents ability to decrease the risk comes last.

> If more people stopped to think deeper about this they would and should be very disturbed by what this means.

Why was it extremely unhealthy? The work load? The lack of sleep with work, kids, and school? Asking because I’m sorta in the same position
Jesus_piece··on From Pegasus to Predator – The evolution of commercial spyware on iOS [video]
Reminds me of the book “this is how they tell me the world ends” - a history on cyber weapons. It’s written from the perspective of a journalist without a comp sci background but delves deeply into the topic of how cyber weapons are procured, priced, and sold to multiple agencies in the same government. It’s unfortunate these are used for exploits and not for reporting bugs or vulnerabilities. Stockpiling exploits only makes everyone less safe

This is completely true for non -cloud, on-prem hosted code/programs, but this notion disappears when programs/software is hosted in the cloud, and updates can continuously occur
Jesus_piece··on U.S. surgeons transplant pig heart into human patient
Sadly I think if or when pig heart transplants are successful in humans, pigs will be commoditized even further, if that is even possible. Poor creatures :(

Not a reason to stop this research in my opinion but I agree with the comment I’m responding to - wish people could care for the animals we treat as test subjects, seems somewhat cruel to not do so

Jesus_piece··on Is America Inc getting less dynamic, less global and more monopolistic?
Agreed completely. Crazy to see this endless iteration on ad optimization and maximizing screen time has made disinformation, polarization, and conspiracy so common. Really destroying society from the bottom up IMO
Jesus_piece··on California aims to ban recycling symbols on things that aren’t recyclable
The free market does not regulate itself. The big plastic producers have lobbied and muddled the waters endlessly to confuse the public and blame consumers on their awful environment damaging products. Less than 10% of all plastics across the world have ever been recycled

Jesus_piece··on History of Techno
Cool? Why can’t we all do what we please? OP has a different opinion and wants to honor the underrepresented people who inspired it
Jesus_piece··on History of Techno
That’s so cool, did you see him in Kenya? Or how does Kenya fit in this story?
Jesus_piece··on History of Techno
Agree with this 100%
Jesus_piece··on History of Techno
Brutal get off my lawn rhetoric over music that is intended to unite! Man who thought this thread would devolve like this. Europe obviously has pushed the envelope and produced fantastic music just as the US has, why the scuffle?
Jesus_piece··on History of Techno
That’s quite a broad brush to paint 300+ million people with. Techno communities exist outside of mega cities in the US
Jesus_piece··on History of Techno
OP didn’t insinuate people should feel guilty. Those feelings you are having are of your own causing and interpretation. He was just stating facts
Jesus_piece··on Why is America stuck with bad headlights?
How did 2pac get in the conversation about aftermarket car modifications?
Jesus_piece··on We Don’t Need to Work So Much (2015)
Never heard being a clerk is a desirable job, I'd be interested to hear why you think that? I really have no idea what clerks do, I previously thought it was just paper pushing
Jesus_piece··on A Steve Jobs masterclass from a decade ago
I've had a different experience with Spotify - their discover Playlists are trash for me
Jesus_piece··on It’s OK for your open source library to be a bit shitty (2015)
I think that's the point. Maintainers have no obligation to do anything for anyone
Jesus_piece··on Reddit has become a guide to personal finance
spoken like a true financial advisor
Jesus_piece··on Reddit has become a guide to personal finance
Between Reddit and bogleheads, that is all the financial wisdom you need. Bogleheads has deeply shaped my investment approach and it should be the same for 95%+ of other people as well.

> If anything, the amount of shadow work foisted on customers has increased. Somehow it's a norm to have to go through a bunch of bullshit to have errors corrected and often just to get halfway decent service. It's obviously worse in industries without meaningful competition, but society in general seems to put up with it and assume that's just the way it is.

Worst offender who does this? US Healthcare
