multjoy··on Modern Cars Wreak Havoc on Radar Detectors
It doesn't.

It just means that they've not gone at a speed sufficiently egregious for a detective to be handed the packet to work out the vehicle's true identity.

multjoy··on Court records reveal Sig Sauer knew of pistol risks for years
I’ve seen the standard of driving in the US. This is not the model you are looking for.
multjoy··on “The Hollow Men” at 100
Why? Who are you to say what I can, and cannot, write?
multjoy··on Court records reveal Sig Sauer knew of pistol risks for years
Oh, I entirely agree. It just seems absolutely nuts that the US government (or rather the state governments, because ultimately they'd be dealing with it) cannot attribute a gun to a purchase because they've specifically made it illegal to do so.

When you're dealing with that mindset, no wonder gun control measures as unremarkable as mandatory safes and training are anathema.

multjoy··on Court records reveal Sig Sauer knew of pistol risks for years
Yes, but then you'd have to create a database of gun purchases and that would be illegal.

OP doesn’t even acknowledge it.

Eliot chose, in 1948, when the Holocaust was common knowledge, to reprint a poem that contains the line:

>On the Rialto once./The rats are underneath the piles. The jew is underneath the lot.

That isn’t a poet following a common zeitgeist, that is a deliberate, provocative act.

That doesn’t make it any better. They also had significant opposition.

He was also a virulent anti-semite
multjoy··on Ask HN: What do you dislike about ChatGPT and what needs improving?
They’re not human, they’re not your friend. They’re a spicy autocomplete.
multjoy··on Ask HN: What do you dislike about ChatGPT and what needs improving?
The LLM has literally no idea which one is better. It cannot think. It does not understand what it is putting on the screen.
multjoy··on We may not like what we become if A.I. solves loneliness
In a lot of jurisdictions, the offence isn't drinking while driving, it's having a blood/breath alcohol level above a certain threshold.
multjoy··on Games: No sex, please. we're credit card companies
The payment networks don’t pay for the cost of chargebacks - that’s borne by the merchant or the card issuer, the network makes money either way.

This is one of those situations where the optimal level of fraud isn’t zero.

That's OK, because nobody's provided anything other than anecdote.
multjoy··on AccountingBench: Evaluating LLMs on real long-horizon business tasks
How can "which is the larger number" be an ambiguous question?
multjoy··on AICodingHorrors – The price of AI-assisted coding
Schadenfreude, obviously.

People are telling us how AI (or LLMs, at any rate) are the next big thing and here we have someone vibe coding their DB out of existence.

multjoy··on On doing hard things
Lots of 'mays' and 'mights', and I've been running long enough, and know plenty of runners, to know that running ruining joints is a myth put about by the exercise avoiders.
multjoy··on On doing hard things
It does not lead to heart damage and it won’t knacker your joints.

It will suck all the time you are doing it, but you physically cannot damage your heart from over exertion.

Universal healthcare is a human right.
multjoy··on Retail cyber attacks: NCA arrest four for attacks on M&S, Co-op and Harrods
Likely an OCG behind them. I wouldn't be surprised to see a defence of exploitation.
multjoy··on The FBI Is Using Polygraphs to Test Officials' Loyalty
They don't work. You may as well use phrenology.
multjoy··on An open letter from educators who refuse the call to adopt GenAI in education
You can rely on the answer a calculator gives you. There's no danger that it will simply be confidently wrong.
multjoy··on The force-feeding of AI features on an unwilling public
A human didn't write it, I'm not reading it.
multjoy··on Valve conquered PC gaming – what comes next?
SteamOS & proton.
multjoy··on The force-feeding of AI features on an unwilling public
Days to write a document, but you think that it'll only take 30-60 minutes to review AI slop that may, or may not, bear any relationship to the truth?
multjoy··on The force-feeding of AI features on an unwilling public
That wasn't the question. The complaint is the poster can't find anything on Google because the results are now so poor, and your response is "but here's some AI generated slop, which may or may not make any sense."
multjoy··on YouTube pianist arrested after making child abuse allegation against priest
You need reasonable grounds to suspect that someone has committed an offence in order to arrest (plus a necessity).

This has been the case since 1984, the necessity was only added because SOCPA got rid of the distinction between arrestable and non-arrestable offences.

Lol, no.

Because it is either laziness, ignorance or AI slop.
