…because of anxiety from doomscrolling and notifications

Every generation needs to learn what microsoft is all over again, but they only learn the hard way.

I think this explains his stance a bit https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=rRDEkMAcwrQ I agree with some bits (because code quality does matter more than being nice when it is your profession), disagree with some (because being a grumpy idiot will harm your ability to build on collaborative projects).

PS: but yea, then there is also the video about the tech industry where he cherrypicks outrage and contradicts himself and agrees that Linus is rude and divisive…which sort of discredits him, because he only seems to like angry but competent people when they agree with him.

yes https://earthsky.org/space/first-wooden-satellite-wisa-woodsat/ this is the first one built by japanese researchers, that explains the convoluted headline :D

This is what you get when you mess with the S’pore police.

Anybody know if it is hard to make a synthetic voice, just like you can make a synthetic face or synthetic music? Or is that the point: that a synthetic voice ended up sounding like her?

Backdoors are bad, 'mkay?

No need, they can just lie :)

Apparently, that causes radio interference, but I don’t think it lasts that long (days to hours)

Nothing, but then you could patent it and license it to anyone but elon :) are you motivated yet?

If after all this shit we end up with retarded AI and lose libgen in the process, we’ll end up with less than we started with…

At this point, it is just part of the corporate innovation cycle: first you make money by creating better products, once the tech matures and the gains in engineering are marginal, you move focus to sales and try to gain market. Then when the market is saturated, you move your focus to finance, aquisitions and cost-trimming.

From this pov, it looks like google got caught flat-footed (when it was moving from sales to finance) by a tech breakthrough and seems to be in “manage the shit out of this” mode, when now what they needed was to go back to an engineering focus, but by now it is too late, because the company already alienated the most dedicated engineers and can’t get them back while still in sales/finance focus.

Une democracie ne cesse pas d’être une démocratie seulement à cause de pas respecter le droit international, mais à cause de perdre la légitimité de la représentacion populaire ou de perdre institutions comme la séparation des pouvoirs ou l’état de droit.

Remember kids, never place buttons for a service on a remote if you don’t know if the remote will last longer than said service :)

This is such a disinfo nightmare, imagine if it was trained (prompting would be easier actually) to spread high quality data with strategically planted lies to maximize harmful confident incorrectness.

And they are serving lots of ads under the radar and shaping their tastes by intermixing the ads seamlessly with entertainment to bypass our advertisement “antibodies”. Sometimes I find some of them saying things and having interests I’ve never known they had only to find their feed randomly peppered with these interlopers.

It’s the most annoying thing of these enthusiasts: they glorify cryptocurrencies and blockchain while glossing over the massively important and actually useful cryptography discipline in the background.
