- trial3what are the revised priorities? what revised the priorities? maybe consider doing just the teensiest bit of journalism of your own
- > These things are now more important than ever
oh definitely. i agree here. can't wait to read the rest of the sentence, probably saying something meaningful about the creative benefits of unstructured writing, or the importance of relying on your own thoughts and language and unique voice in the era of LLMs
> as they can literally help fine-tune agents to help assist you using your personal style.
oh
- yes [0]
- > but if you are 'right' and out of business nobody will know. Is that any better than 'wrong' and still in business?
yes [0]
- which cultures? which public transportation? is it possible that what you assume is the problem is colored by your personal experience and not representative of members of a country at large?
- > Oh which continent?
what answer could i possibly give to you that would change your response? antarctica?
> Is it possible that what you assume it's normal and default is colored by your personal experience and not representative of the world at large?
of course this is true. what are you going for here. my objection is to standing up a Train Security Panopticon with "modern AI" and locking commuters (in north america) on a train (in north america) who might depend on a schedule (using a north american time zone) stuck at a station until the (north american) cops can come and pull someone (who statistically, but not for sure, would be north american) off of the car for being drunk (off of beer i've had in my personal experience, coloring this example, which may not be the beer that is representative of the world at large) and napping on the seats
- i will gently point out that new york state and new york city are not the same thing
> Under that metric, the poverty threshold for a couple with two children in a rental household in New York City is now $47,190. The study found that 58 percent of New Yorkers, or more than 4.8 million people, were in families with incomes below 200 percent of the poverty line — about $94,000 for a couple with two children or $44,000 for a single adult. Poverty rates among Black, Latino and Asian residents were about twice as high as the rate for white residents, according to the report.
- this… can’t be a serious suggestion, can it? have you ever had to rely on public transit in a major city?
- why highlight bus speeds being 2.2% slower but not that ridership went up 30%? which, to me, feels like an obvious correlation to dwell time.
- well, fittingly, there’s the devil horns effect
- genuinely, why is your response to being curious to ask two different LLMs to explain something to you?
the list of guidelines has 18 items in it. did you actually need them to interpret it? or is it, perhaps, you couldn’t resist a little sneering yourself?
- Hang on a minute. How do you square your claim that it’s as it should be that none of us crabs should be in the bucket, with your claim that including, the crab closest to the edge of the bucket, presumably, should be climbing out of it?
- yup: i would instantly buy something like this if it ran full macOS
- > Either way I don't care what you remember or think.
it does feel to me that one way to demonstrate that is to not get pissy on hackernews. i know you’re in founder mode or whatever but this comment is the thing i’m now going to remember you for
- i don’t think you’re supposed to read this if you don’t have “e/acc” in your twitter bio
> Historical precedent: child labor
amazing start. crushing it already
> Consider Qatar as a point of comparison. Migrant workers make up roughly 94% of the country’s workforce, yet only Qatari citizens, who make up the remaining 6%, are eligible to receive most government welfare benefits. As a result, Qatari citizens enjoy remarkable prosperity, with minimum pensions valued at over $5,700 per month and an early retirement age of 50.
consider: the upsides of doing slavery. a libertarian utopia of remarkable prosperity
> Future humans might gain entirely new senses, develop completely new ways to communicate, and expand our minds beyond recognition. From our present vantage point, we may become gods.
this is actually ripped directly from the closing paragraph of Don’t Create The Torment Nexus
- okay but he literally does have a bridge that non-deterministically might take you to the wrong place to sell you
- i don’t have a perfectly coiffed investment firm’s 300-slide deck for “agriculture” but if we’re talking drastic may i humbly submit that for your consideration
- if i may ask a question that betrays my lack of knowledge: why is it that permanent or semi-permanent ladders were not be affixed to some of the steeples? is it mostly aesthetics, or is it also a wear / durability concern?
i also suppose the ladder only gives you access to one portion of the chimney, and you may need to access enough different sections that the most effective method is to set up a ladder exactly where you need it while work is done?
- wow yankcrime describing a literal vi yank crime. i'll give it a try this week, that's helpful
- iterm2 is slow, uses a ton of memory, and keeps adding weird bloat/AI garbo
