Obvious joke, sure.

"for attention" though is a weird thing to add. Not sure why you feel the need to add this negative connotation.

There's one angry comment so far on HN:

But there's also a lot of angry responses on the Xitter post.

> My consciousness, my sense of self continues uninterrupted.

That's the part I directly dispute.

I don't dispute that a computer could become conscious, but I'm not convinced you could transfer your consciousness to a machine. If a brain scan copied your brain, that would not be the same consciousness that you have now. It would be like having a twin, and twins don't share a consciousness.

It's hilarious how this has made so many people angry.

Some people really need to lighten up. Learn to have a laugh.

But a digital copy of you isn't you.

I find I'm actually happier accepting a little nihilism in my life, knowing that at some point, I will die, and within a couple generations of my death, I will be completely forgotten.

This isn't depressing, it's freeing. It means there are no long term expectations of me, so I should I just spend as much time as I can doing the things I enjoy.

I'd hide a plastic mustache with a note saying "You found my secrete stache!"

Maybe instead of paper though, 3D print the message, so it doesn't just disintegrate over time.

I did keto for 9 months and was also doing cardio and resistance training.

The hunger never went away.

I'm not the GP, but I can answer this.

I did try keto before. Heavy protein, low carbs. Everyone promised a high protein/fat/fiber diet with low starch/sugar was the secret to feeling full sooner and for longer.

Nope. Didn't change a damn thing. I was still hungry all the time.

My experience mirrors the GP. Ozempic really flipped the switch. See my other comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50399564) for more.

I just started Ozempic about 4 weeks ago.

It wasn't until this week that I started feeling the effect, and so far, it's like...yeah. I don't feel this damn near constant urge to eat anymore.

It's so frustrating to deal with people who naturally eat sensibly and look down on overweight people and accuse them of not having self-control. They have a complete lack of empathy and assume that everyone else has the same properly-calibrated sense of hunger that they do. Guess what: not everyone does.

They have no idea what it's actually like. They'll eat a six-inch sub sandwich and feel full all the way to dinner. Maybe they'll eat a handful of nuts in the afternoon if they get snackish. Then they assume that's what life is like for me.

No. If I ate just the six-inch sandwich, my stomach wouldn't even tell me I'm satiated, let alone full. I'd have to eat the footlong. And I'd still be hungry two hours later. Yeah, I'd eat a handful of nuts. And then another. And another. Until eventually I've eaten 700+ calories from nuts and I'd still be fucking hungry.

And don't tell me "drink more water!". If anything, I was overhydrating. My urine was nearly clear and I'm pissing every hour.

Ozempic has flipped the switch, though admittedly I'm in a transition period for sure. I went out for dinner the other day, had a bowl of soup and only about 1/3rd of my main course. My stomach was feeling full, but something was still telling me to keep eating. Luckily the discomfort of fullness won out and I took the rest home. The next day, for lunch, I ate the leftovers, and I felt full afterwards, and didn't feel the urge to snack at all before dinner.

It's such a breath of fresh air. Is this what normal or "naturally thin" people experience? Hunger that reflects actual caloric needs, rather than some unnecessary urge to constantly keep adding things to the stomach?

EDIT: "It is now firmly back, after ~6 months off the drug (due to cost) :/"

That sucks. With my insurance, it's only $50 for a 4-week supply, but on the prescription form from Costco, it lists the "U/C" as $2,207, which my understanding means it would be $2,207 if I didn't have insurance.

The price of this drug is damn near criminal.

> What graphics cards have more than 12GB, and how much does it cost to buy one?

RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5080 both have 16 GB.

RTX 5090 has 32 GB.

Good luck finding any of them for reasonable prices, though. I paid $3,000 for my 5090 early last year. I winced when I bought it then. Today, it's like $7,000, and I wouldn't even consider it at that price.

But I'm mostly a gamer that also does local AI as a hobby. If the RTX 5090 was $7,000, I'd still be on my RTX 3080 and still just not started doing local AI and have to turn down the graphics settings in Cyberpunk 2077.

> if there is a leak the gas tanks (nitrogen, argon, helium) can quickly displace the oxygen inside and I'll die before I know what happened.

This is something so many people don't realize.

When you hold your breath for too long, that feeling of suffocation isn't caused by a lack of oxygen, but the build-up of CO2.

If you replace the oxygen in a room with an odorless gas non-oxygen gas, your body doesn't tell you. You don't feel like you're suffocating. You just start suffering the effects of lack of oxygen. Dizziness, confusion, lightheadedness, but you likely won't realize anything is wrong. Your judgement and ability to react goes away and you lose consciousness without ever experiencing the desperate urge to breathe.

Another good example of this is when pilots fly too high without supplemental oxygen or adequate cabin pressurization and become hypoxic. They become confused and lose coordination while feeling perfectly fine. By the time they realize something is wrong, they may no longer be able to do anything about it.

In what way is the Democratic party more authoritarian?

Republicans are the ones that insist on protecting police no matter how much they trample on people's rights.

Static linking makes distribution easier, but it's an absolute security nightmare.

With dynamic linking, you just upgrade the library on your system and you're done. With static linking, every binary that uses the library has to be rebuilt.

This site absolutely does jokes, it just doesn't beat horses into bloody pulps with the jokes the way reddit does. We have a higher standard. A joke has to actually be funny, and not some tired reference.

Except for the infamous Dropbox comment.

> and in favor of spending more money, not less.

A lot of them still aren't aware that the death penalty costs so much more because of the intense appeals process.

Because the definition of "remote" has been expanded in the name of resume-driven development to include sending a malicious file that a victim has to open.

> There's no way to create a class that prevents callers from reading the object before the constructor runs (in multi-threaded software, new first hands a reference to the caller, which can put it on the heap, then it calls the constructor)

Which is why the pattern of double-checked locking doesn't work.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-checked_locking

Do you use a VPN or Tor, or do something that might make you look like bot traffic, like always using Incognito mode, spoofing your User Agent, etc? Are you connecting from something other than a residential IP?

You're having to prove you're human all the time because there's likely something you're doing that makes you look like a bot.

Interstellar really got it right with TARS then.

It depends a lot on what you're using it for.

For your typical home user that bought a VPN because a YouTuber promised them extra security and privacy, no. They're gaining next to no security unless they have a malicious ISP that injects content into HTTP connections.

This is misinformation.

The Anthropic PoC used MPTCP, but the underlying bug does not need MPTCP to be enabled.

Because as literally dozens of people have already pointed out, it often wasn't actually a duplicate.

"How do I do X in Python?"

"This has already been answered in <other question>. Closing as duplicate."

And then you look up that other question and it's "How do I do X in PHP?"

Ask how to prevent XSS, and someone will flag it as a duplicate of a question asking how to prevent SQL Injection. Ask how to encode something in Base64, someone will flag it as a duplicate of a question about how to encrypt something with AES.

And the worst part, is that these moron moderators pat themselves on the back for keeping SO clean.

> For example check the number of restaurants that hire their own drivers now.

Before DoorDash, other than pizza places (who still run their own drivers), what restaurants delivered? McDonald's tried delivery for a short period of time, but other than that, nobody delivered.

The Constitution and its amendments binds the government, not private entities such as corporations.

The Fourth Amendment gives you zero protections from corporations willingly handing your data over to the government upon a simple warrantless request. A corporation can choose to tell the government to pound sand without a warrant, but they're not in any legal way obligated to do so.

EDIT: Actually, I may be wrong here. The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 may give you some protections against data intended to be private, such as Friends-only social media posts, private messages, etc.

"They're not fixing the security issue, but at least they're documenting it" is a weird argument to make.

Which is kinda wild considering there's also a lot of openness zealots, too. People advocating for open source hardware, software, right to repair, etc.

Just checked my panel.

All the bedrooms and the den (where my computer is) are 15-amps. The rest, other than the EV charger and A/C, are 20 amps.

My personal project web server has done this for years with just some basic nginx configuration.

You only find my webpage if the SNI contains the host name. If you connect using the bare IP, it presents a self-signed certificate. If you accept it, it just returns a bare 404 Not Found.

I was like "Poob? Are we just making shit up now?"

So I googled it. And yes, we are, and that's the entire joke of Poob.

tbh, I kinda wanna make a Poob website now. The front page describes itself as the ultimate social media site where you can do anything, taking major inspiration from the classic Zombocom. Yet, there won't be a Register or Login button anywhere. Just a static site.

According to many parents, every game console is a Nintendo.
