<p>If you never heard about the weight maintenance company wide competitions (let's fitness!), the labor doctor telling you that it might be difficult for you to handle stressful management work with high blood pressure, the kids saying that they were laughed at because their dad is fat...<p>You're blessed.</p>

<p>This argument keeps popping up as if every engineer was exactly the same, which is simply not true.<p>High quality talent is expensive, hard to recruit, hard to keep. High salary is one of many perks a company offers to capture high quality talent. A work visa to live in a first world country is another one.</p>

<p>It is impossible to establish causality in complex economic systems to be able to have evidence based decisions.<p>The current economic direction is not a consensus. The Western democracies are increasingly politically polarized and economically volatile.<p>Between the many different crises (unaffordable real estate, populational collapse, unsustainable environmental practices and global warming, increasing inequality, hollowing out of small and medium sized cities, and the list goes on), it is very difficult to justify the status quo.</p>

<p>Evil is a moral concept, which is less tied to religion these days.<p>Drugs are an anti-social drain on society, that sickens its buyers, turning them into zombies or criminals, and turns the sellers into greedy, violent people who corrupt law enforcement.<p>Your edge case of an angel doesn't translate to the actual realities of drug trafficking and addiction.</p>

<p>> If you move you still need to notify them, although perhaps in Japan big brother already knows you've moved.<p>When we move, we need to register our address change at the city hall. In terms of Big Brother, that's a given.<p>The problem is that we also need to change all bank, bills, etc. too. So this replaces the need for mail forwarding, for example.</p>

<p>Different from your comment, that comes from your insight from your lived experiences in this community, the quote is a whole bunch of nothing.<p>Maybe the nothingness is because LLM can't reason. Maybe it's because it was trained a bit too much in marketing speak and corporate speak.<p>The thing is, while LLMs can replicate this or that style, they can't actually express opinions. LLM can never not be fluff. Maybe different types of AI can make use of LLM as part of their components, but while we keep putting all of our tokens in LLMs, we will forever get slop.</p>

<p>Which is an excellent point for conversations, but in the context of the release notes in the website of the project, I understand that this xkcd principle does not apply.<p>If one goes to the release notes for Lazarus, they either sought those release notes out, and hence already know what it is. Or they were linked to it in a specific context, such as Hacker News, which the expectation of curiously clicking around to understand the project is natural.</p>

<p>Not every form of discrimination is the holocaust.<p>It is very important to not be extreme when dealing with human ignorance. For mild cases of discrimination, especially those coming from fear and ignorance, engaging in full confrontation is not necessarily the most effective strategy to reduce said discrimination. It might actually increase it.<p>Now if faced with hate speech, that's a much higher degree. That needs a different strategy to reduce it.<p>But unless you are looking at actual segregation and genocide, dropping a Nazi accusation is hardly constructive.</p>
