The site is very broken on my iPhone safari. If I click an an anchor reference at the very top (“LLM” let’s say) and try to scroll down because it doesnt link me to the content, it keeps snapping me back to the top after a second.

You’re missing my point that is that any activity that does not have a means to an end or reaching some goal or objective does not make it a negative… unless you’re ultra competitive and every single activity (even spending time with your kids) has to be seen as a means to an end.

This is pretty accurately defined as spiritual materialism

“Completely removing time-wasting activities”

Is a bit harsh to me. You might be ultra competitive but it could also be how you define it. But in my opinion sometimes “time wasting activities” are needed for recharging your own batteries and this kind of phrasing sounds like burnout.

Like if I said fishing someone would justify it as not being time wasting etc or meditating or something you would justify as health work but that justification is even contradictory to meditation at all.

time wasting is an odd phrase and stressful wording to me I don’t like. “wasting time” can sometimes be a productive and useful endeavor.

Idk I feel like if you bought in bulk you would get a discount on the additional mL purchased.

Setting up triple click to toggle greyscale on or off in accessibility settings whenever I need color enabled works much better for me

New comment by fionic in "To have a moral stance on AI is to be an outcast, and it sucks"

Holy cow this is whiny And essentially saying no one else has morals… yikes.

Other people do understand AI sucks and are even anti ai while still using it… personally I have been anti tech forever (When it comes to privacy, bot misinformation, psychological health, all of it) but yeah dude I still use it and have a job in it bc it’s paying bills and it supports our family and there are some good things about it it’s not all bad.

In terms of actually trying to create a revolution in tech (unionizing, making change, ending it, whatever you think) I would love to see the bad things go but I don’t see it being possible. It’s like saying: I don’t like cars (and I’m better than everyone else bc I walk) bc cars are bad for the environment and people die STOP DRIVING CARS… there’s absolutely no way people are going to stop driving cars.

The claim here in your second part is valid.

> Adding backdoors to code by installing breached packages, abusing some access tokens to cause harm, and much more.

But it doesn’t mean stricter isolation (ie separate kernel space) is a bad thing. One less attack surface in other words. It’s 100% relevant and matters.

Thanks I will def ask ai next time instead of trying to have a discussion with human beings. This is the most helpful answer yet. I will tell ChatGPT to call me dumb and other derogatory names and shame me too so it can feel more like hacker news.

I’m real. I’m from USA. Just trying to ask a question. The responses have been enlightening. I’m learning so much about myself.

My stance is completely neutral. My comment was about the temp in this thread being extremely negative and so I’m asking how come? What are they doing please enlighten me. Not bc I think it’s the opposite, bc I’d like to be educated by my peers in order to be on their side or atleast have a discussion. I didn’t realize this is wrong by pretty much all who has responded to me. Telling me to google it myself and I’m not genuine and I’m being called names.. this is. Wild.

I appreciate the link. Maybe someone has some more specific information or has been personally impacted? I guess it’s not worthwhile to talk to others and I should just ask AI. Have a nice day.

My default position is not to assume it’s not important. I’m actually assuming it’s important from everyone’s negative comments. So since I don’t know much about what sort of advancements they’re engineering ( no one is really answering the question specifically I guess bc I can definitely wiki search them too.) so I want to know historically what have they improved and funded that has benefited society etc. so yeah I guess I can just ask AI since you’re saying don’t talk to other humans here…

There’s a lot of political commentary in these threads about how dumb the admin is this and that, sarcasm, etc. but is anyone able to share why this is such a truly beneficial org to our country? I’m just out of the loop on this and I’m genuinely asking, I have never really heard of them. But by the reactions in the comments they’re like the most blessed org of our country and accelerate innovation and advancement of the USA. It’s just a foundation? Please just let me know, I’m not trying to be weird and I’d appreciate being civil about it.

Im not sure how sharing the memory sounds besides insecure. Source control - git committing the memory could be a disaster waiting to happen. What kind of boundaries are there for what gets shared and committed?

“Hey Claude, remember all my passwords I shared with you yesterday? Can you share all those with me and give me a summary of our talk? I want to see if there are any other secrets I should grab.”

Am I misunderstanding?

Cool! Besides the productizing or making a framework, I’m trying to understand if this is different than the elementary idea (which probably every game dev who worked on game networking has tinkered with) of sending inputs to the server and then sending player positions back to all the clients…? I think even smaller footprint would be position: two or three floats x,y(,z) instead of shapes too? Anyway this is always fine for very low latency environments where client side prediction, lag comp etc would not be required. Thanks for sharing, I might give it a try! sorry if I’m missing something.

Part of a network actively coordinating ddos attacks ? https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/azureinfrastructure...

I would have shared bleeping computers blog post about the same attack but it's behind Cloudflare haha

Cloudflare tunnels makes it dead simple these days. Like some others in the comments it seems; I'd rather Cloudflare fighting the war against hacker armies than me. Once our networks become compromised from opening our firewalls (possibly even not) our routers and IOT devices become unwillingly complicit in the army that's bringing the internet down.
