To put out a hacker prize for laid off employees to target big AI companies for data center elimination.

Only somewhat correct. Unemployed because the AI companies convinced the CEOs that they can cut headcount and be fine.

And with 50% of the software engineers in 2019 now unemployed (even among senior level developers) they'll have you reviewing that code for minimum wage.

I trust Weather Underground instead- it's private citizens, not government propaganda, and it's far more accurate.

Post-COVID, I don't trust governments or corporations to do science. I saw too much statistical abuse, p-hacking, politics, and outright lying about the scientific method to trust federal funding OR corporate funding of science.

Science is best done by private citizens funding their own experiments with outside jobs, not academic peer-review cancel culture bubbles.

lol, no, unicode is not broken. Human languages are just complex things, and there is no universal way to upper/lowercase things.

Changing the case of a string is language specific, and thus should not and cannot be well implemented at this filesystem level, because a file system should work for any language.

Linus is right.

Or better yet, since you're apparently able to tell the difference between a webcrawler and a human in the log, keep the site public for humans but start sending invoices to the IP Address Holders of web crawlers.

The answer is no, and anybody who incorporates AI Generated Code into an existing human programmed codebase is just looking to quantify their job existence by fixing bug tickets.

Given that the college board now is inciting students to riot through their curriculum suggestions and tests, I don't think they're exactly innocent.

> So Signal knows where you are, at what time, and your phone number.

exactly; its a mass invitation to get spied on while thinking you are secure.

Signal also has truly terrible user identification design, as the recent war planning leak shows. Instead of requiring in person exchange of certificates, and having any kind of external certificate validation system, its basically "blindly trust someone based on their phone number".

i dont think there is any safe way to operate signal, due to the lethal combination of closed source parts, centralized servers, and extremely bad user identification and authorization practices.

Every revolution has increased the number of hours the average bottom person on the totem pole needs to work to earn food/clothing/shelter.

Hunter-gatherer- 4 hours per day
Agriculture- 5 hours per day
Feudalism- 6 hours per day
Mercantilism- 7 hours per day
Capitalism- 8 to 10 hours per day

Most hallucinations, whether human or AI, are born out of lying to yourself. Most of what is being fed to the LLM models is already pure bullshit.

So in other words, this isn't about actually a fair tax, but tax avoidance to the point of bankrupting government.

I highly approve.
