Comment Deno is awesome ... (Score 1) 6

... I hope this move doesn't screw it up.

For the uninformed: Deno is basically the "new" official non-shitty successor to Node.js. It's secure (closed) by default, supports TypeScript natively without the need for transpilation, has the full browser API on the server side and comes with a bunch of neat other features that turn Jamstack development from the bloated and fickle shit-show that is Node into a chill walk in the park. I've been using it exclusively for a few years now and have come to avoid Node.js like the plague for real world deployment.

Excessive: beyond necessary, proper and/or normal.
Peace: an interval of time between wars, such as you've likely indulged as normal your entire life, whether you know it or not.

"Suffer" is equally important, for what should be obvious reasons. In peace, vast quantities of bullshit accumulate. The GP considered the benefits that some bolide might impart by setting it alight. I merely relate that a highly effective alternative that we once benefited from has been suppressed.

Indeed. LLMs are like a cryptocurrency tumbler for intellectual property. It is a metaphysical certitude that, sooner or later, a major legal challenge is going to happen with Linux and/or other open source software collections from some rent seeking copyright holder(s) due to AI contributions. Linus is taking a real risk here.

May you live in interesting times. Whatever outcome emerges from the forthcoming years long legal processes will set profound precedents.

I predict this won't actually start with Linux, however. It will be Adobe. There is a cottage industry of Photoshop clones being created with LLMs. Adobe is going to take someone to court over this.

Kind of makes you wish another asteroid would hit because we're clearly a fucked species.

Nah. No need to reach for anything that exotic. A couple good conventional wars would fix almost all of this. The best rationale I've discovered for a global ban on nuclear weapons is providing survivable opportunities to limit the excessive peace we currently suffer.

It's ok. I've managed to navigate around all the man haters for decades. I'm at the point now that worrying about them isn't something I need to do.

You know, aside from women's basketball and perhaps nursing, AI is rapidly obviating most reasons we've ever imagined there were to employ women. If your employment decisions allow the affordance to pick based on sex, you're more likely than not a prime candidate for AI replacement.

Just some food for thought.

Some great magic words right there. That automatically gets her a majority of the general public's sympathy: all of the females plus whatever fraction of the males are clinically cucked. She's just a hapless victim of the the patriarchy! There are no white collar sins so great that her value as a sympathetic martyr on behalf feminine grievances should be forgone. Hell, you can mass murder all of your children and walk free playing that same tune.

Comment Smartphones are expected. Other devices less so. (Score 1) 55

A discrete device permits recording without leaving a trace on expected hardware. There are many good reasons to defensively record interactions. The world is a high threat environment that can instantly turn bad. It's wise to know your legal and technical options well in advance of need.

A common example predating smart phones is truck drivers recording interactions with their dispatchers. That goes back to the miniature magnetic tape recorder era. Proof matters.
