- > But also question overall morality of the tech industry.
Leaving certainly won't help anything. Find companies and people that align with your values and build with them.
Or become a woodworker :)
- Reading some of the translations for the quoted verse, it's really interesting how so many different sentiments can be expressed with very little changes of words/phrasing.
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will.”
- "Ideal family life" is very much a lifestyle that is sold on social media. And was sold for decades before that.
- Starting the comment pointing out the name of the user you're replying to, and quoting the exact comment you're replying to, does sound really strange.
- Do CEOs and other executives have to go through leetcode-style interviews to be considered for their jobs?
- In what way has X/Twitter been innovative lately? I suppose renaming to X might count?
- You forgot to respond to anything except the "houses" part of this.
It's obvious what GP and others are saying - that the concept of things like "papers" and "effects" are no longer as concrete as they used to be. What used to be physical letters stored in one's home are now emails stored on any number of servers.
> Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize.
- That's curious and changes things pretty dramatically. It's a lot easier to host 15TB than 300. I wonder what's up here.
- Why does the DoD hold so many IPv4s?
- Just to be fair, the *arr stack can filter by various things so you only grab the releases that meet your requirements.
- Most people aren't paying 100s or 1000s of dollars to interact with NPCs in video games. If they were, they'd probably expect a lot more and get bored of it quicker.
> The real challenges are around maintaining and safely operating automous robots around children in a way that isn't too expensive.
This is one of the challenges, but only one. The one GP outlined is still very much real - see the Defunctland video on Living Characters for some older examples, but for a recent example, there's the DS-09 droid from Galactic Starcruiser.
- > lots of them use digital means like a tablet these days but it still absolutely exists.
Yes, because art evolves over time.
As it very likely will with generative art.
And even with that evolution, people still use paint, and people will still use instruments and make music the same ways we always have...
- > Magic Kingdom tickets are like $150.
What's the cost to travel there? To sleep? To eat? What's the actual experience like with that $150 ticket vs the options that are more expensive? Will you spend your entire day there waiting in line?
- > unless you go out of your way not to reveal too much about yourself, and even then, given enough time, there will be enough breadcrumbs eventually.
This is why it's not reasonable (for the vast, vast majority of people) to attempt this, and why we have to be realistic about our threat profiles.
Sure, anyone who knows what they're doing and is dedicated enough can find out information about me - that doesn't mean I'm going to advertise my name and location so that everyone can find that information about me with ease.
- > I think the internet would be a lot nicer place if people were held accountable for the things they say and do.
What does this mean? What sort of accountability do you have in mind?
- It's really not coming to an end. People still look silly for talking about things like "the gender identity viewpoint" as if it's just a matter of opinion.
- > Other data sources such as the MP3.com rescue barge, PureVolume archive, and Anna's Spotify archive lack the country-of-origin metadata, so are of less interest to me. It may be possible to use an LLM to guess the language of each track title, but someone else will have to do that.
I would guess that combining these sources, along with info from MusicBrainz, would help quite a bit? Still, I'm rather surprised Spotify doesn't provide more information about artists.
- 10,000 sounds like a lot, but it really isn't. Even my own personal music collection - which isn't all that impressive - is nearly 20,000 tracks.
- They're downvotes, not bullets. GP isn't brave for enduring them.
I would even argue that respect that can endure through numerous shitty takes, just because there's one facet of that person that isn't shitty, is far less genuine than otherwise holding that person up to a standard for your respect.
