- Comment on Quick post about AI-free FireFox Based Browsers (Keep your Adds and avoid the Bloat) 2 weeks ago:
These are all valid reasons. I’ll also add that I personally desire manual control over my computing experience. A huge part of the reason I run Linux is that it does exactly what I tell it to and nothing more. When you start introducing other agents to my user agent, it ceases to be a user agent. Something else is arranging my tabs. Something is popping info up into in my face that I didn’t ask to see (and which might be incorrect). I just want these things to go away so my browser can be my browser again and not be under the control of a random word guesser.
Yes, I have turned these features off, but I don’t even want them installed. They’ve been force-installed onto my system through software that didn’t used to do that. If I lose my config, I have to go turn it all back off again. I’d rather just not have the feature anywhere in the software. I’d rather Firefox just not smuggle AI features onto my PC at all.

This is the crazy thing. This is some kind of invocation of Poe’s Law around Hanlon’s Razor. I want to believe this is someone on the inside resisting, but we’ve already seen so many examples of this administration’s gross incompetence that I don’t feel certain of that. It’s this real incompetence? Or resistance as a parody of that incompetence?

I don’t really pay attention to pop news, but I seen to remember she shaved it off in some kind of episode. Which is understandable considering what she and other child stars are made to go through. To your point, part of that is how mean the media is to them, even in its reactions to the mental breakdowns they cause.

This is literally the first instruction God gives Adam and Eve. Do not eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Do not develop an independent sense of morality. What God says is the right thing at that time, and don’t you dare contradict him.

He specifically said he wasn’t going to tear it up, right? That he came not to change one “jot or tittle” of the old law, but to “fulfill” it, whatever that means. Never made any sense to me.

- Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software 4 months ago:
As it seems to be the case in all of these situations, AI fails hard at tasks when compared to tools specifically designed for that task. I use Ruff in all my Python projects because it formats my code and finds (and often fixes) the kind of low complexity/high probability problems that are likely to pop up as a result of human imperfection. It does it with great accuracy, incredible speed, using very little computing resources, and provides levels of safety in automating fixes. I can run it as an automation step when someone proposes code changes, adding all of 3 or 4 seconds to the runtime. I can run it on my local machine to instantly resolve my ID10T errors. If AI can’t solve these problems as quickly, and if it can’t solve anything more complicated reliably, I don’t understand why it would be a tool I would use.
