The company pushes it hard and some fall for the marketing

katbyte··on IPv6 address, as a sentence you can remember
what3words Is terrible and search and rescue teams are actively against people using it.
katbyte··on VSCode rebrands as "The open source AI code editor"
Notepad++?

It’s been a while since I used it, but it’s one of the few things I miss on osx

katbyte··on Meow.camera
No just that factory farming animals maybe shouldn’t be allowed. I have no problem with eating free range animals that live outside and are humanly treated and slaughtered even if the price goes up. I do have a problem with animal abuse which factory farming is.
katbyte··on Americans increasingly see legal sports betting as a bad thing for society
Also it could do with some regulation banning people who win to much shouldn’t be allowed
katbyte··on Americans increasingly see legal sports betting as a bad thing for society
Seems like an easy solution is just to ban them from banning winners.

Regulate them

katbyte··on AI tooling must be disclosed for contributions
It’s like the difference between someone who can search the internet or codebase well bs someone who can’t

Using search engines is a skill

katbyte··on The story behind Caesar salad
There are different kinds - the one I make is primarily oil raw egg lemon
katbyte··on The story behind Caesar salad
Well it is paywalled

Tabasco is an interesting twist I’m going to have to try

katbyte··on The story behind Caesar salad
Yep.

Also raw eggs not mayo, and garlic in the oil for a while before making it.

katbyte··on Australian who ordered radioactive materials walks away from court
Rather the laws exist so they have to work hard to lie then the current free for all allowing outright deception and lying
katbyte··on Australian who ordered radioactive materials walks away from court
You do realize laws like this already exist in America? Slander and defamation are laws against lying

I fully support banning politics and the media from lying because they should be held to a higher standard

katbyte··on DOGE worker’s code supports NLRB whistleblower
No. Never. While it’s expected to have a “root” account exempting from logging serves no honest purpose.
katbyte··on U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat
I assume the email server you are referring to is the one Elon installed and then fed all sorts of peoples private information to
katbyte··on How to gain code execution on hundreds of millions of people and popular apps
you use a language where you have all your deps local to the repo? ie go vendor?
katbyte··on DA, sheriff, who shared woman's nude photos on phone are covered by QI
international law.

often legal by their countries law hence the excuse "i was just following orders/my laws" being similar to cops "following the law" even in the clear face of it being wrong

katbyte··on Grok3 Launch [video]
you can't do that in government and services people rely on to you know, live. people will die (and i wouldn't be surprised if some already have)

shows a total disregard for the wellbeing of others

katbyte··on Grok3 Launch [video]
or just maybe, and i know its a crazy idea, a certain individual is objectively an awful person who has done great harm in the world and its subjective if its greater or lesser then the good (imho its far greater harms then any good done but i know that is my subjective view)

just because you disagree with a widespread view/opinion does not mean its bots

katbyte··on Grok3 Launch [video]
he will bias it toward his views and favoured outcomes like he did twitter

and those are pretty terrible, anti-science, and petty

katbyte··on Anyone can push updates to the doge.gov website
Is going to?

It already has. America has in three short weeks burned bridges with multiple countries that will not be rebuilt

katbyte··on DA, sheriff, who shared woman's nude photos on phone are covered by QI
“I was just following orders” = “I was just following the law”

we do not allow soldiers to get away with war crimes because of it, why should police be any different?

katbyte··on Blue Origin reaches orbit on first flight of its titanic New Glenn rocket
?

Isn’t the norm not crashing and succeeding? it’s only space x who normalized so many failures to “move fast”?

katbyte··on Arctic tundra is now emitting more carbon than it absorbs, US agency says
Yea I ball parked it whenever the epa was told by Reagan to not do anything about carbon is when I start the clock
katbyte··on Arctic tundra is now emitting more carbon than it absorbs, US agency says
None of that will do anything if we get into a runaway feedback loop where all the carbon is coming from natural sources. The change is speeding up.

The time to act was 60 years ago but Reagan and oil interests put profit over planet.

The last time to act was the last decade or so, as it appears we are too late and the us about to floor the gas pedal on oil instead of green tech.

katbyte··on Where Glaciers Melt, the Rivers Run Red
There are also a lot of peoples who’s wealth comes from continuing the way things are, and changing over to greener technologies would mean they might end up less wealthy
katbyte··on Netflix buffering issues: Boxing fans complain about Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson
i was mildly interested and managed to find a pirate livestream, it didn't have buffering issues lol
katbyte··on Character amnesia in China
Except most people will get close enough for most other people to understand. English is rather flexible

Not ti mention spelling differences and even all the unique words in different English countries. Or within the uk

katbyte··on Should elephants have the same rights as people? A Colorado court may decide
Probably not, but there likely should be legal provisions for clearly intelligent animals like elephants that elevate them above say a snail or mouse.

We generally are too soft on animals abuse and abuse of an animal like an elephant should carry a sentence similar to abusing a person.

katbyte··on The Rise of Worse Is Better (1991)
Yep it’s the return policy that allowed me to gamble on items that may or may not be real/functional vs spending a ton of time to find one elsewhere that maybe is, but if it’s not it’ll be hard to return
katbyte··on A teacher who made mistakes on purpose
I think it works well for the early grades with simple problems like 5x5=24 to get young kids interested or your vs you’re

But anything beyond that anything multi step is just not useful - you talk about taking notes young kids are not taking notes
