- Comment on Why Didn't Democrats Do More When They Controlled Both Houses of Legislature, The White House, and The Supreme Court During Obama's First Term? 2 days ago:
Not really, like I said, bipartisan support. Biden/Blinken just did an emergency act move to send them a ton of funding and weapons. Both parties are at the whims of the military-industrial complex because America is objectively the weapon dealer of the whole world. Even Russia uses American parts in their missiles (despite half assed attempts to prevent that). All of American economics benefits from this situation. And I mean, that’s after we already have been fuckin up the middle east for decades, with countless atrocities
- Comment on "I lost trust": Why the OpenAI team in charge of safeguarding humanity imploded 2 days ago:
Miss me with the doomsday news cycle capture, we aren’t even close to AI being a threat to ~anything
(and all hail the AI overlords if it does happen, can’t be worse than politicians)

Yeah they can do big genocides. Nah jk, there’s always bipartisan support for that
- Comment on Could I get an autopsy done on myself while I'm alive? 3 days ago:
Sure you can. I mean, not legally ~anywhere, but pay some sketchy dr 25k and make a world-first snuff film. I’m not sure why anyone would want to do this, and I sure don’t think it would be “cool as shit” but you probably would shit yourself. And I suspect that even if you’re real high, if would still be traumatizing for all involved

Yeah! Let me repair all my semiautomatic dildos already!!
- Comment on EU plan to force messaging apps to scan for CSAM risks millions of false positives, experts warn 2 weeks ago:
I’m super fucking tired of having zero privacy. The fact that governments&corps can access records of everyone’s phone locations, their data, and communications — is frankly absurd

I’m a fancy digital serf now, yay

Hey man, the Internet has information, if you’re not able to use it, that’s not the information’s fault

I played this as a child it was brutal
- Comment on Why don't we hear more about the 2017 Las Vegas shooting? It was the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, we never found a motive, and it seems no one ever mentions it. 2 months ago:

- Comment on Weird idea continues connecting fediverse and email 2 months ago:
Brilliant, who needs new fancy apps when you have email clients
Tell Google to give us back our RSS feeds too, they stole em
Then there’s the irc client bridge to think about, posts could be channels and you reply in em
And ofc the extra spicy sms bridge where an AI gives you an executive summary of your memes for the day
- Comment on Cybertruck engineer pushes back on claims that Tesla EVs rust in the rain — “It's surface contamination only and can be cleaned off easily.” 2 months ago:
Rust grows once it’s punctured down, everyone knows this, no? I guess they only test cars in Texas and California. Still like the trukk

- Comment on When using AI and machine learning driven features, how much are they processing data locally vs. remotely? 3 months ago:
Basically: to even have a decent model installed locally is in the gigabytes. If you didn’t install gigs then it’s remote
- Comment on My VSCode started to summon DEMONS😈, how do I stop it? I have checked PHP docs but got nothing. 😥 3 months ago:
Hmm usually this is where you use the “reset” command in your terminal. Not sure how do in vscode, as I am a NeoVim elitist asshole
- Comment on We’re changing the price of Proton Pass Plus 3 months ago:
This is an incredible example of “burying the lead”. Everyone’s pumping prices 300% and meanwhile these bois can’t event mention in the first screen that they’re reducing prices. This is how you can tell that no marketing team was involved XD

halp? - Comment on Big Tech Won’t Let You Leave. Here's a Way Out - WIRED 3 months ago:
My opinion is that it’s super legit, basically the only lasting icon of creativity and freedom of speech. Feels like what the whole internet used to be like, during the golden age before everything was captured by corps that fear brand damage and legal repercussions. People still repost 4chan content to all other media obsessively. Anyway 4chan is where it belongs, in the background. If it was more popular it would get totaled

I’m a digital anarchist. All this regulation doesn’t help, it just makes the Internet more ridiculous, and raises the barriers to entry - fuck em. Rather than regulating some sane browser features, we left it to every site to implement a cookies popup, and they are unique enough that they aren’t easily filtered. So now every site has cringe popups that nobody reads or understands, thanks regulators!! Really solved that shit. I don’t trust these assholes, it’s all gonna get lobbied weird and big money pretty much always wins
Real open source is the answer. Common goods for common people, not led by capitalism, but led by shared infrastructure needs that benefit all. Protect the rights to anonymity/privacy online, instead of helping big tech deanonymize everyone. Uphold the values of the constitution of the USA, but in the digital space. And otherwise fuck off, govt
- Comment on Apple CEO Tim Cook's total pay drops to $63 million for 2023. 4 months ago:
I’m pretty sure that you could use one of those departments to fully automate management. Just go full data-driven and tie salaries to revenue. The engineers can take it from there, they’re plenty smart

Tldr pandemic and not AI
- Comment on Six months after the initial reddit surge (graphs) 4 months ago:
Personally I love Lemmy as is, and as long as it doesn’t die out, I don’t care if it goes mainstream. The mainstream has a lot of apathetic trolls and idiots - Lemmy feels like early reddit did, when it was just nerds, techies, pirates, and the servers were down every day - but Lemmy is better because we rallied around open source this time

- Comment on Modern centralized version control systems? 4 months ago:
Git provides subtree (and submodules) which enable this with some planning
- Comment on Modern centralized version control systems? 5 months ago:
Uh obviously still git, which is used as a centralized repo 99% of the time. Why does this post read like it’s AI generated?
- Comment on How long do you think until AI writes and debugs code better than the average programmer? 5 months ago:
Yeah not soon, 3-10 years I’d guess. The latest research tracking AI growth says that our best models can solve entry level CS problems at 85% success. That’s not good
It’s obvious that humans do more than just pattern matching. I think I would rate the current systems as a 25% speedup to my workflow, not bad, but only for menial tasks
- Comment on Unity CEO John Riccitiello is retiring, effective immediately 7 months ago:
Yeah man, the hubris it takes to meet only a few times a year, but imagine that you have the elite wisdom needed make all the decisions. You’re the guy on the board, so by definition you must be smarter than the worker bees, huh?
