<p>It was the foundation of science that information is shared and you can find papers and patents for a lot of dangerous stuff.<p>Of course with LLMs it's easier, but I don't think the difference is too big. You would still need some skills to follow through.</p>

<p>Yet I bake my own bread because the "bread" you can buy isn't bread.<p>Its not a smart calculation to poison yourself and live shorter just because it is convenient and less work in the short term.<p>If anything the bread paradox should describe that it is very easy to fool 90% of the population. Eat shit and then inject ozempic. Double win... for the industry</p>

<p>It was always only a suggestion to the compiler, to hold this variable in a register.<p>Compilers got so good at optimization that there is little point using it.<p>If a variable is held in a register you can't access it with a pointer. So if your intention is it should be in a register you can't take the address.</p>

<p>I still enjoy the things that are not overtaken by big tech (although it isn't much). Anna's archive and streaming niche movies.<p>I miss the old forums the most. The group mind on Reddit is just regression to the mean.<p>The rest I tried to cut back as much as possible for my own mental health.<p>I can't get of YouTube completly even though most of the time I hate myself after doom scrolling. Sometimes I still find genuinely interesting stuff there.</p>
