ugh i wish
  • I wish they would irradiate it instead of boiling. Irradiation is completely safe and preserves the nutritional benefits. But the raw milk people are generally opposed to that, and irradiation has a PR problem. Sadness.

  • one more shitty techbrofad down
  • LLMs can be traced back to steady, incremental progress from an initial approach explored in the '70s. Cryptocurrency isn't technology itself, but an application of the concept of distributed consensus (pioneered with PAXOS in the 80s), just like chatbots are applications of AI. I'm much more optimistic about AI and distributed consensus than cryptocurrency and chatbots, if I'm making sense.

  • I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me!
  • This whole populism trend is concerning to me. I agree that some folks are more responsible than others for the problems we face today. Even so, singling out and blaming a small group of people for the problems we face, then punishing them with legislation, is not the most productive way forward. We need real, serious solutions. "Get rid of X" rarely, if ever, works.

  • How can I mock AI in jest
  • I would have interpreted this the same way as the AI did FWIW. Then again, I don't do frontend stuff, and I run when I see TypeScript in my hobby projects because it's such a pain.

  • one more shitty techbrofad down
  • Not likely. The research folks were highly skeptical of crypto from the start, but not the latest AI advances. The AI is a fundamental technology that was developed by the scientific method and can be empirically examined right now. Crypto is an application of 1980s technology with the hope that it will gain momentum as a currency with enough marketing.

  • "Famous" AI Artist Says He's Losing Millions of Dollars From People Stealing His Work
  • This article is annoyingly one-sided. The tool performs an act of synthesis just like an art student looking at a bunch of art might. Sure, like an art student, it could copy someone's style or even an exact image if asked (though those asking may be better served by torrent sites). But that's not how most people use these tools. People create novel things with these tools and should be protected under the law.

  • "Housing" Proposals
  • Trump's sucks, but just giving people money will make all of the housing $25000 more expensive on average over time. There are so many better things to do with that money, like better public transportation and schools. She just wants to throw it down a hole and make housing more expensive, in exchange for some short-term support.

  • When happy teams are an issue
  • Just do a lightweigt process in a few docs and Excel, and meet in person often enough that you know what folks are doing. That's SOOOO much better and more natural for getting real work done. Great ideas die in JIRA among endless planning meetings and premature decomposition and estimates.

  • Parenting Was Meant To Take a Village
  • Some good points, but a very angry framing. We've moved around so much that many of us have lost touch with our wider communities. Many like myself never had one to begin with. Find and establish community before raising kids.
