- Comment on Study: Remote working benefits fathers while childless men miss sense of community 1 week ago:
romcom idea: childless man has crush on childed man. he’s raring to come back to work to hang out with hot dad man, but the latter is forced to work remotely.
the whole plot swivels around how they get around the lack of opportunities to be together.

- Comment on Emissions from Big Tech companies rose 150% in 3 years as AI booms, UN report found 2 weeks ago:
indirect carbon emissions
one would think that it was actually methane emissions that increased substantially, what with all the bullshit flying around about the “promising value of ai”.
- Comment on Conceived in secrecy and born in haste, Aukus (submarine deal) is on its last legs. 2 weeks ago:
the biggest sticking point, apparently, was the american engineers’ refusal to move the steering wheel to the starboard side of the boat.
- Comment on Scientists discover that feeding AI models 10% 4chan trash actually makes them better behaved 2 weeks ago:

“Actually Indians”.
- Comment on I'm looking for an article showing that LLMs don't know how they work internally 3 weeks ago:
but this article espouses that llms do the opposite of logic, planning, and reasoning?
quoting:
Claude, on occasion, will give a plausible-sounding argument designed to agree with the user rather than to follow logical steps. We show this by asking it for help on a hard math problem while giving it an incorrect hint. We are able to “catch it in the act” as it makes up its fake reasoning,
are there any sources which show that llms use logic, conduct planning, and reason (as was asserted in the 2nd level comment)?

would there be a source for such research?
- Comment on Silicon Valley cities hit with request for residents' emails to train AI 4 weeks ago:
while i share the sentiment, the ai model here isn’t looking to harvest email ids. their model is to harvest the content of email messages and summarise them into a list of “a citizen’s most pressing concerns”.
aliases will not allay the qualms of such a service.
- Comment on Funny how we see the world in landscape, but live it mostly in portrait. 4 weeks ago:
a spectacularly healthy dose of cherry-picking with this one.
what about watching movies at the cinema? playing video games on the tv? train carriages? the back seat of a car? double beds? panoramas? the horizon? a computer’s qwerty keyboard? side-by-side boobs? side-by-side arms? the ending shootout of the good, the bad, the ugly? thw viewscreen of the starship enterprise? car windscreens? baby got back? landscape paintings?

- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
how many judge judy cases are about problems caused by runaway children? there’s a reason why laws mandate leashes for dogs – their scope for damage is far higher than is that for toddlers.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
a pet doesn’t leave behind an estate to inherit. laws are hesitant on human euthanasia because of the scope of misuse by greedy beneficiaries of wills.

- Comment on Indian court orders blocking of Proton Mail 1 month ago:
following a legal complaint filed by New Delhi-based M Moser Design Associates. The local firm alleged that its employees had received emails containing obscene and vulgar content sent via Proton Mail.
in January, the New Delhi-based firm called for the regulation or blocking of Proton Mail in India, as the email service reportedly refused to share details about the sender of the allegedly offensive emails, despite a police complaint.
this has nothing to do with encryption services offered by proton. any email provider could fall into this pitfall.
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 1 month ago:
And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US?
that’s technically what tariffs do. topologically, it’s the same thing: using policy to give a price advantage to domestic producers.
talk about shopping locally and so forth.
talk gets one only so far. when those numbers start to chomp into the household budget, everyone forsakes the “made in…” label in favour of the price tag.
