lamp987··on Scott Galloway: How the US is destroying young people's future [video]
There is no voting solution to this.
lamp987··on The dire state of NixOS's moderation culture
>These people want to steer away projects from being involved in the military

Then they don't understand what free software is.

Not surprising considering these people are primarily activists and software is merely means of gaining personal power in another space.

lamp987··on Backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to SSH server compromise
That's not the point I'm replying to. You were lying and I pointed that out.
lamp987··on Backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to SSH server compromise
It's already accepted and merged into master so it will be released in a future systemd release. What's your point?

LP in da house?

Why if its funny and relevant?

you really underestimate the living standards of 1950. in many ways higher than today.
lamp987··on Sutskever: OpenAI board doing its mission to build AGI that benefits all
Not really. Turing test was beaten by much simpler chat bots and long before than ChatGPT (which isn't A(G)I).

"one of the most important organizations in the world"

lol

lamp987··on Undermining Democracy: The EU Commission's Controversial Push for Surveillance
People are used to EU tightening the screws every year.

This is normal.

Though the proposition seems to be technically faulty/unenforcable so we might be spared (this time).

lamp987··on France bans all pro-Palestinian demonstrations
>They published verified photos of dead and burnt babies.

This is irrelevant to the topic discussed which is "validity of the Israel's claim of decapitated babies". You entered this specific topic and keep derailing it with these claims that are unrelated to the original statement.

>You're grasping on literal straws.

Literal straws is what grows behind your house. Perhaps you meant figurative straws.

>That is not a straw man argument.

It is a textbook example of a strawman. He is putting words in my mouth that I never said to debunk my post. That is exactly what strawman fallacy means. Lmao.

>If anything you seem to be conducting one by focusing on a single detail to discredit a narrative

Another strawman. I merely pointed out it was a hoax, as briefly and straightforwardly as possible. I didnt say anything about any "narrative" at all.

>The method of execution is really irrelevant here.

It is very relevant when it was explicitely stated. Falsehoods must be pointed out. Relentlessly.

lamp987··on France bans all pro-Palestinian demonstrations
What is stated without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Israel was being asked about it for days by western media and refuses to provide anything.

lamp987··on France bans all pro-Palestinian demonstrations
>It’s been widely reported to be true afaik

Its been widely reported without evidence existing, which should have been a redflag for anyone with brain. It was just "trust me bro" by the prime minister.

Everybody has been slowly backtracking on it over the last 2 days. Including Israel itself:

Didn't know Hamas controls the White House. Huh, TIL.

>while not denying them killing babies.

I never denied Hamas killing babies. Obviously rocket barrages will kill babies. Feel free to quote me.

"If there was a blockade - how so many weapons got in?"

Tunnels.

"Decapitating babies."

This was fabricated.

lamp987··on The rent is too damn algorithmic
"If RealPage has caused a rise in prices, it's because it showed old assumptions are wrong."

Your assumption that RealPage (and other software) -powered market is a market is wrong. Its a near monopoly and thus the price is excessive. Everybody has to live somewhere, if you double the rent of (nearly) all flats, everybody will still be willing to pay that doubled price.

To simplify it: altough there are many landlords, they arent each others competitors thanks to RealPage. They are collectively one big landlord holding the city hostage.

actually it used to be like that in earlier days of airliners. it was a social experience.

but those days also had a darker side, like having a dress code for passengers...

lamp987··on Code Llama, a state-of-the-art large language model for coding
LLM is not strong AI. It's not even AI.

So no. You will always need that strong "I" at the top somewhere.

"If software engineering becomes a solved problem"

It will simply move to a higher level of abstraction.

Remind me, how many programmers today are writing in assembly?
