- Comment on With AI looming, is there still space for new coders? 8 months ago:
There’s hardly any work for programmers and there hasn’t been for years, I’d say over a decade.
There is a massive demand for professionals, scientists and engineers who are tech literate and know programming.
Go develop hard skills in some field and use programming to set yourself apart.
- Comment on Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI. 8 months ago:
With respect to 2, it would stop others scrapping the content to train more open models on. This would essentially give Reddit exclusive access to the training data.
- Comment on Why don't we have one timezone covering the whole earth? 9 months ago:
Just add 11 to utc.
No harder than having different times in different places.
- Comment on The AI Deepfakes Problem Is Going to Get Unstoppably Worse 9 months ago:
Of course poor regulation can be bad, it was a silly question that was loaded. Look at, for example the 2002 tort reforms and the damage that did to public safety.
Imagine how much damage could be done to individual privacy and freedom by an ill informed legislature if they elect to regulate gradient descent.

No, they said bs is published about ai.
- Comment on For people self hosting LLMs.. I have a couple docker images I maintain 9 months ago:
You want H2OGPT or just use Langchain with CLI
- Comment on A ‘Shocking’ Amount of the Web Is Already AI-Translated Trash, Scientists Determine 9 months ago:
Translation is very different from generation.
As a matter of fact, even AI generation has different grades of quality.
SEO garbage is certainly not the same as an article with AI generated components and very different from a translated article.
- Comment on European Union set to revise cookie law, admits cookie banners are annoying 10 months ago:
Am I mistaken in believing it is an already a browser option?
Off the top of my head Qutebrowser and Falkon both support not-saving 3rd party cookies.
- Comment on 23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch 10 months ago:
Oh no, I was just pointing it out for others. I think using the title post is perfectly reasonable.
Thank you for posting, I found it interesting.

It’s worth noting that OP simply used the article title.
The article title is a little biased, individuals must take greater personal responsibility.
- Comment on 23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch 10 months ago:
users knowingly opted into a feature that had a clear privacy risk.
Strong passwords often aren’t at issue, password re-use is. If un-{salted, hashed} passwords were compromised in a previous breach then it doesn’t matter how strong those passwords are.
Every user who was compromised:
- Put there DNA profile online
- Opted to share their information in some way
A further subset of users failed to use a unique and strong password.
A 2FA token (think Matrix) might have helped here, other than that, individuals need to take a greater responsibility for personal privacy. This isn’t an essential service like water, banking, electricity etc. This is a place to upload your DNA profile…
