Yes.

I did not imagine that at all. In fact, I, like I imagine many other young men, thought that becoming famous would certainly solve their dating problems forever.

That certainty has disappeared. Thanks for sharing this.

>The point is this: you don’t need to do anything wrong to get death threats, rape threats, etc. You just need a big enough audience.

Jesus fucking christ, that is a very believable and plausible thought. Even in these 93 comments I'm already seeing people who most likely don't know this dude and somehow decided to dislike him.

On the other hand, Matt Godbolt seems to use LLMs and I feel like I sure as hell wouldn't want to miss a PR from Matt fucking Godbolt. I mean even if I go full vanilla LLM-free I still am too addicted to using godbolt.org at this point and it was written partially with an LLM apparently.

Argh, maaan I don't know this is too fucking complicated of a problem for me to solve. Fuck, maybe let's just destroy all this technology and live as neofarmers raising chickens?

What that means practically? Don't call the police on that one person smoking weed in a park or smoking fentanyl or injecting heroin on your bus if they are not bothering you. Don't make that joke about how crackheads are making this town dirty. Be humane. Be kind. Don't get dragged as a combatant into the war you know nothing about and that doesn't matter to you personally.

I guess it's impossible (or really hard) to train a language-agnostic classifier.

This is probably off-topic for this one, but I feel like enforcing this permanence of speech onto people doesn't make for a good metaphor for normal friendly discussion. I'll write a blog post on it maybe.

A big problem I am noticing is that the IT culture over the last 70 years has existed in a state of "hardware gun get faster soon". And over the last ten years we had a "hardware cant get faster bc physics sorry" problem.

The way we've been making software in the 90s and 00s just isn't gonna be happening anymore. We are used to throwing more abstraction layers (C->C++->Java->vibe coding etc) at the problem and waiting for the guys in the fab to hurry up and get their hardware faster so our new abstraction layers can work.

Well, you can fire the guys in the fab all you want but no matter how much they try to yell at the nature it doesn't seem to care. They told us the embedded c++-monkeys to spread the message. Sorry, the moore's law is over, boys and girls. I think we all need to take a second to take that in and realize the significance of that.

[1] The "guys in the fab" are a fictional character and any similarity to the real world is a coincidence.

[2] No c++-monkeys were harmed in the process of making this comment.

Should we dismantle people's bodies and show it to those people's children? Should we show children their own detached arms while trapping them in a burning house with a company of their mom who is missing lower part of a body and crawling around screaming from pain while her intestines are falling out? And a mangled head of their dead cousin who's been decapitated by a sharp sheet of metal launched at him as the GRAD hit the building? Did I mention it's fucking dark and no you can't call 911. That kind of shit is happening right this second I lived in Donetsk until 2004 and the stories that I see from there are fucking brutal. Why don't you go focus on that?

I mean yeah I'm not saying we should show porn to kids. Why are you even thinking about that? What part of not wanting my fetishes end up on easily hackable government databases and known to the world is even remotely correlated to showing hardcore porn everywhere? I'm not an exhibitionist, man. I'm a prude actually. I'm easily embarrassed by my girlfriend bringing up anything about our sexual life in public. When we go to sexshop and she discusses our fetishes with employee I leave the store and puke from stress and anxiety. The thought of the entire world having access to my sexual identity is horrifying. What about people who are LGBT who's family will disown or kill them?

I probably shouldn't have gotten this heated and I honestly don't think you actually mean evil. Just think about broader implications, please.

The hardest part about web-design isn't even coding/sketching. It's finding a compromise between your own taste, the clients, the back-end developers, and a bunch of varying ideas in your mind.

Web-design is about explaining to your wasted colleagues why you can't just 'draw it up' in five minutes and send an invoice. Web-design is about hastily aligning sections and changing fonts at some girl's house with a bottle of wine and cheese instead of having sex with her. Web-design is about wanting to kill yourself because your mockup got trashed on r/design_critiques. Web-design is about walking through art lofts with giant sculptures of penises and girls with green hair while you're trying to figure out where the hell you are and where the hell is the exit. Web-design is about cutting yourself with an x-acto knife, partly because you missed the 4B graphite pencil and partly because you're suicidal. Web-design is about being covered in white gouache because you're trying to clean up a sketch and the fucking pencil marks just won't come out when you erase them. Web-design is about sitting at a coffeeshop and drinking coffee while trying to fix that one part that just won't fucking work on Internet Explorer.

Web-design is fun! :|

But once you've mapped out a certain dimension (let's say you learned how to draw a human face) you are better off. Even though your first 100 sketches will probably suck.

Now, what is stupid is:

a) Telling other people fire is safe to touch even though it's not. That's just blatantly stupid, if you're not gaining anything from disinformation you're being a total moron and fucking up a potentially useful connection to that person.

b) Touching fire again and again in hope of a different result.

Here's how it works. If you overdose, and you go to ER you're forced to admit you did something illegal. Many people would rather die than face a life of humility that's unfairly associated with being a junkie. Not to mention overdoses would be less likely if everything was legal and properly labeled.

Same thing with addiction. Removing stigma and legal consequences associated with being a drug-addict will help many people seek help if they need it. How many people do you think are too afraid to go the doctor and admit they have problems, considering drug use is illegal and stigmatized? A lot.

I think it's a matter of creating a minority and punishing the fuck out of that minority. Being a drug-addict right now is like being gay or black hundreds of years ago.

Being an addict is not a fucking choice. It's a grueling mental torture accompanied by physical torture that's relieved with a consumption of a particular substance.

When you're addicted to opiates and you use, it's not because you want to rebel against the world. At that point it's about PLEASE STOP THE FUCKING PAIN. Mental and physical pain, violent diahrrea, puking, being unable to sleep for days.. basically all your natural painkillers are gone and everything is pain. All of that can be ceased with a hit.

The fact that anyone thinks it's okay to throw these people in jail sickens the fuck out of me. And you know what, I don't fucking care. Some of the best minds used heroin, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain. Wanna throw them in jail or fuck with them to the point of suicide (as with Cobain)? Go ahead. "Drug warriors" are like a grown-up version of bullies punching a sick kid.

This is such a primitive outlook that I don't even.

The author is clearly existing on the second circuit of Leary's model, the one that introduces "up/down" dimension. Here's the URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-circuit_model_of_consciou...

Judging from how popular alcohol is in the US, and the fact that alcohol activates this circuit, I'd say that the author is drunk.

I much rather prefer comfortable textured armchairs than soulless straight chairs of Bauhaus' spirit. I think what Metro and other "minimalists" forget to remember is that computer screen is a canvas, a medium. You shouldn't force user to think like a machine, but rather force the machine to think like a human.
