You don’t get to be unattached to the lives of others; only your own. What ugly thinking to cloth in Buddhism!

None of that means it’s “illegal”. You apparently think something being removed to reduce legal risk means it’s illegal, but that doesn’t follow.

The other browser they pay for isn’t the first alternative I’d run to…

> It is impossible to duplicate results with an LLM.

Humans are called experts in many domains whereby they cannot achieve duplicate results. In fact, in what domain can an expert do that?

Nobody crosses the same river twice.

My partner and I adore our childfree lives… not worrying about them suffering climate change is just the gravy!

I hope what you’ll discover to be wrong needs only $5000 of repairs.

Be careful — you’re a mark.

Anyone who trusts Terry Godier after this is a fool.

> But now that I work at a startup that competes with a few open source offerings, I love having Claude check in on their progress and port the content over.

I hope that eventually you gain from society exactly what you’ve given.

You’re right. Billion dollar companies doubtless ruin many more lives, but systemically rather than directly.

What is your contingency plan for if the groundwork that has been laid to falsify election results works? Wait harder?

The ethical US has rolled over already.

It really is. “This is bad. When will someone stop us?”

What’s your point?

> completely arbitrary

You agree that it isn’t “physically accurate”, then… but seem to argue that you shouldn’t be called out for the false title?

It’s fair enough to be called clickbait when you really did score extra clicks with a slick falsehood, surely?

Keep your need for simplified representations of reality (which claim to be complete) out of our information-based community.

The person you’re replying to did not hold it to that standard — they only pointed out that the standard it claimed to hold itself to was not actual.

If correcting misinformation is “harsh”, reality is fucked.

> I invite you to spend 10$ to try Kagi for 1 month.

What a generous invitation!

And that was true, within his context as senator. He was instrumental in passing the laws that fostered the Internet.

It’s astonishing, I know, but the heavily-parroted meme was always reductive and is, at this point, misnformation.

Because it’s BS. Firefox usage telemetry is public. There is no such increase.

> … like those ICE guys terrorizing all the Latino guys.

… and the white guys they don’t like, like nurses with empathy. Don’t you dare think you’re safe because of your color. Unless you’re a monster or willing to become one, they want you oppressed.

> Seems like being directionally right early that AI would be a Big Deal and scary should count for something?

Only if it was an uncommon prediction; otherwise, it’s just evidence of common sense.

> The custom is dying with the veterans

You might want to update your knowledge.

…but is exhausting at volume from most small aircraft you see. I say sadly, as an aviation geek; we can do better!

> Not believing that AGI is possible is irrational and unscientific imo

This is an objectively wrong opinion.

I grew up in southern CA, in a dry pine forest. I can assure you the children I knew traded and set off fireworks. We were all envious of the families who brought them back from Mexico — they had the best stuff.

I guess rules-followers assumed we were all doing as they did.

It’s a cultural difference you’re unaware of, not an error.

I did retire somewhat early but also somewhat involuntarily and only after a somewhat fruitless search.

Nobody said it was.

Because honorary degrees are not credentials.

We must find a way to return to SNOBOL/PITBOL. It’s so elegant and effective in Ada (where it’s in the standard library).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNOBOL

> In the 1980s and 1990s, its use faded as newer languages such as AWK and Perl made string manipulation by means of regular expressions fashionable. SNOBOL4 patterns include a way to express BNF grammars, which are equivalent to context-free grammars and more powerful than regular expressions. The "regular expressions" in current versions of AWK and Perl are in fact extensions of regular expressions in the traditional sense, but regular expressions, unlike SNOBOL4 patterns, are not recursive, which gives a distinct computational advantage to SNOBOL4 patterns.
