ccbccccbbcccbb··on Absurd Trolley Problems
This falsely puts the burden of responsibility on the lever man, while it is those who tied the people to the tracks, launched the trolley and forced the lever man to incur all the blame are the real culprit. Making people believe the contrary is the fundamental principle of operation of all politics.
ccbccccbbcccbb··on How normal am I?
How far is it from 'beauty score' to 'aryan score' ?
ccbccccbbcccbb··on How normal am I?
Yep, another magic spell akin to 'software license' that is supposed to dispell all evil.
ccbccccbbcccbb··on How normal am I?
I hope you're not diagnosing people for a living
ccbccccbbcccbb··on How normal am I?
No. This kind of auto-defaulting to "tons" baffles me quite hard.
ccbccccbbcccbb··on How normal am I?
Should read

"How gullible am I for uploading my face to some random data harvester?"

ccbccccbbcccbb··on Give up GitHub: The time has come
It is 4 years and $7.5B too late to worry about github.
ccbccccbbcccbb··on EU Digital ID wallet is coming
You're being straight up realist here.
ccbccccbbcccbb··on A picture of me
And no, this does not imply any "conspiracy theory belief, advocating of violence or racism, or following of any dogma" from my side.
ccbccccbbcccbb··on Show HN: I stripped DALL·E Mini to its bare essentials and converted it to Torch
Alas, the very first point was already a no-go for me
ccbccccbbcccbb··on Show HN: I stripped DALL·E Mini to its bare essentials and converted it to Torch
not really surprising, but

<caveat emptor>

bare minimum GPU: NVIDIA 2080 with 8GB VRAM

300 Gb of disk space

ccbccccbbcccbb··on The PocketReform is a made-in-Berlin Linux handheld
Is the code that runs inside ARM TrustZone open source too? Especially ROM code.
ccbccccbbcccbb··on A picture of me
God bless you Casper, rest 100% assured that you're not unique in your sentiment about the woeful state of modern society.

Righteousness shall stand, my friend.

ccbccccbbcccbb··on Linus Torvalds: Rust for the Kernel Could Possibly Be Merged for Linux 5.20
Compared to the tyrannical Rust, maybe.
ccbccccbbcccbb··on Should GitHub be sued for training Copilot on GPL code?
YES
ccbccccbbcccbb··on GitHub Copilot is generally available
If anyone ever wondered why M$ bought github for $7.5B, this is exactly the reason. A huge free dataset of code ready to train the corporation's neural networks. Ideals to idealists, money to money.
ccbccccbbcccbb··on Producing Open Source Software (2020)
OSS: The story of how programmers were duped into yielding their daily bread to managers and helping big corporations grow huge using their software for free in deep disregard to whatever license came attached to it.

All hail Stallman & Co and all the brilliant masters of narratives behind them.

ccbccccbbcccbb··on Programming in the Apocalypse
Needs more virtue signalling. Like, "Programming in a supply-chain-challenged world"
ccbccccbbcccbb··on Programming in the Apocalypse
That's not what the likes of the poster you reply to want. They want you to be in permanent acceptance of whatever agenda they support with their virtue signalling.
ccbccccbbcccbb··on Windows OS, Services and Apps: Network Connection Target Hosts (2021)
> The question is: why break the onboard updater in the first place? And all those other features?

Because none of those features are irreplaceable and/or crucial to run a perfectly fine workstation.

> if you want to replace everything because microsoft is bad and can't be trusted, then start by replacing the kernel.

Unless Windows kernel phones home over some covert physical channel which is undetectable by tools like Wireshark running on a separate gateway (and secretly supported by all routers in existence), there's absolutely zero need to replace the kernel when all said phoning home can be stopped with a properly configured firewall.

ccbccccbbcccbb··on Cat S22 Flip Phone
> giving you access to ... security benefits of Android

As secure as Google's scout's honor about it, and as private as a mesh fence.

ccbccccbbcccbb··on Imagen, a text-to-image diffusion model
Smoking them meats with his wifi! That explains some obvious anomalies in the meat-space pretty neatly)
ccbccccbbcccbb··on Much philanthropy is a routinized exchange between salaried bureaucrats
In the best traditions of newspeak, the term 'philanthropy' doesn't specify the exact beneficiaries of the 'love' being addressed just like the phrase 'eradication of poverty' doesn't specify the exact means of said eradication.
ccbccccbbcccbb··on Data shows that the EU's CSAM scanning will not have the intended effect
All the narratives that justify total surveillance are fake. Now that's a revelation!

What next? Hydrologists admit there's some water in the ocean? Chromatologists discover that the sky is color blue?

ccbccccbbcccbb··on Imagen, a text-to-image diffusion model
Yep, the meat-space is generally a bit less woke than HN, so thanks for the reminder ))
ccbccccbbcccbb··on Imagen, a text-to-image diffusion model
... and to witness the downvoters so that their cowardly disgust towards truth could buy them some extra time in hell :)
ccbccccbbcccbb··on Imagen, a text-to-image diffusion model
In discussions like this, I always head for the gray-text comments to enjoy the last crumbs of the common sense in this world.
ccbccccbbcccbb··on Imagen, a text-to-image diffusion model
In short, the generated images are too gender-challenged-challenged and underrepresent the spectrum of new normalcy!
ccbccccbbcccbb··on NaturalSpeech: End-to-end text to speech synthesis with human-level quality
You are free to assign whatever sequence of phonemes you deem appropriate to the phenomenon, but the latter remains what it is regardless.
ccbccccbbcccbb··on NaturalSpeech: End-to-end text to speech synthesis with human-level quality
We as in Zamyatin's "We"?
