New comment by palmaltd in "Ed Zitron loses his mind annotating an AI doomer macro memo"

Not sure how this comment got upvoted; calling skepticism of an emerging industry a "mental breakdown" and suggesting those "suffering" from it to talk to a therapist doesn't really clear the bar for discussion here. This reads more like a manager being salty that their team isn't using up all the Grok budget this quarter or whatever.

And let it be clear that nobody is being "actively hurt" by legitimate economic/business grievances. This is victim-blaming and disgusting rhetoric.

> As those populations are known...

What a horrible calumny to casually post on a ostensibly politically-neutral website! Absolutely shameful.

New comment by palmaltd in "Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan launches dark-money group to influence CA politics"

This is exactly what the linked article said:

> Garry’s List is structured as a 501(c)4 nonprofit, a tax designation that lets the group bankroll campaigns while affording donors a measure of secrecy they would not enjoy if giving directly. They are traditionally known as “dark-money” groups because they can spend on elections without revealing all their donors.

New comment by palmaltd in "Blank cassette tape types and how to choose the right one"

Soundsource [0] on macOS can do this! I run Chow Tape [1] and it performs quite admirably. I've never measured the latency but it has never affected me much. I'm certain a similar solution is available on Linux.

To be fair, (quite janky, ime) VST hosts are available for Windows, via the music player (e.g. Musicbee) or system-wide, but those have never been reliable. Your mileage will vary.
