The cruelty is the point. They want people to leave so they can refuse to allow them back in. That's the goal. It's not more complicated than that.

LLMs, like Frankenstein's Monster, are blameless. They did not ask to be created nor did they participate in their own creation. Like Frankenstein stole the bodies of the dead and stitched them into a new creation so LLMs were assembled from the remainder of human ingenuity taken under cover and without compensation.

I think you mean "manipulating content algorithms to favor their viewpoints and to target individuals for maximum effect."

It's a monument style sculpture. The kind raised with public money. I think that carries part of the meaning with it versus graffiti or some other medium. It's also depicting the blinded walking off the edge, making the comment based on both the figure and the form of the statue.

"Blinded by nationalism" I don't know, seems like a clear concise message that has relevance in today's world.

What are your thoughts on the current code quality? Have you had a chance to review it?

I know HN has a lot of devs, but I'm pretty sure none of us are going straight to Github to file for a refund from a bug. I'm assuming they notified customer service first and were rebuffed, then filed the bug.

After going public and getting publicity. You shouldn't have to do that just to get a company to fix their own mistake. They stole $200, where do they get off saying they won't give it back?

It does not behave as described on EndeavorOS (arch-based) running kernel 6.19.14-arch1-1. I receive the error:

Password: su: Authentication token manipulation error

I'm guessing this means it's already patched?

Based on how discourse in the US has been perverted by inches and millions of mosquito bites they may not be wrong. Stamping out bad information fast and hard seems to be the only way to combat mass coordinated disinformation. Being polite just lets people play the "both sides have merit" game.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I love it at tinker with it regularly. But power comes with complexity. It's always a trade off.

Blender is a wild untamed beast of a thousand panels. Those who wrangle the beast are wise and powerful. But they became that was from the journey. Kdenlive is a much more approachable quest for someone who is just entering the dungeon.

This would be perfect for me if it docked to the side in a vertical orientation, like Firefox tabs, or Windows XP.

Well, Sam Altman and Jensen Huang are going around bragging about how many people they're going to push out of employment. Might have something to do with it.

The quality hasn't changed. The volume has. It used to take real human time to create garbage. There was value in that. Someone though "Hmm, what worthless thing can I do? I know! I'll make people online mad." And then they spent the time getting someone else's goat. It was great. A good balance, spreading lies took some minimum effort. Now we have automated garbage. And the flavor of the garbage is: gaslighting people with an illusion of community. We've empowered the trolls with an infinite meme-o-rater while ignoring the real human time spent unwillingly sifting through the ever increasing pile of worthlessness.

The world does not have to get worse. We're letting it though.

If I recall it was an artifact of the compression algo.

I wouldn't be surprised if Wine eventually becomes more stable than Windows.
