Billy has spent his entire life litigating anyone who calls out his blatant cheating, and spending an incredible amount of court resources to bully anyone who challenges him, it's disgusting.
Trickle down economics does not work, we've got textbooks on this.
Re:Hell freezes over as Apple supports right-to-repair bill on Thursday August 24, 2023 @11:18PM (#37257602)
Apple puts a 50 volt screen backlight pin on a ribbon cable next to the pin that goes straight to the processor - moist day? Short time, unhappy mac-book. Their products are built to look nice, not last.
You are disgusting and depressing - change yourself or... do something else which accomplishes the same outcome.
Awww, did we find the China politic appologist? China is the #1 enemy of the united states, through and through - and is funding / supporting Russia during the proxy war the United States is fighting.

Turn off your stupid propoganda bullshit.

You are either turning your brain off or working for the Chinese Government.

You cannot just throw aerial devices over an enemy state (to be clear, China and the US are enemies) without people taking that insanely seriously.

What kind of propaganda are you trying to throw? Get out of here.

I love 4 fun posts here, it's a shame they aren't more common, as usually when they're here someone inevitably with their nose as high in the air as possible chimes in with how this isn't profitable or a business model and will die soon.
Re:Show HN: I trained an AI model on 120M+ songs from iTunes on Thursday February 02, 2023 @11:51PM (#34637282)
Bad lyrics ruin songs for me, so I tend to listen to music in a way where I completely disregard the lyrics if they're bad, which causes me to like songs where the lyrics are hard to understand/hear or in a different language.

This seems to absolutely NAIL my case of listening, I'm loving this. Thank you!

Terrible comparison, Windows is still catching every one of those inputs and handling them. The diff is the amiga is doing maybe three things total.

This isn't even apples to oranges, it's apples to radish farm.

Interacting with hardware is on another level. I remember taking some introductory hardware level classes, and we began to simulate our circuits, just combinations of gates and what-not and you hit a weird signal pattern....

"Ohh, that's just a gate-glitch, we'll discuss that in later courses!"

The way that physics interacts with hardware is incredible, and the dance that we all do back and forth between hardware and software really strikes me as magical. I love it.

Re:Why ChatGPT won’t replace search engines any time soon on Saturday January 07, 2023 @09:21PM (#34295330)
How pretentious of you - we're a hacker forum, a tech forum, a research forum, a LOVE OF TECH FORUM. For you to say this here clearly says you are not part of the community.

I love tech, I love stupid shit. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the random things AI is uncovering.

You have lost the spirit of technology, lost the WONDER OF TECHNOLOGY, and I pray you do not carry that bitterness to everything. This opinion is absolutely disgusting.

OHH HOOOOOH HOOOH, my snewty business model does not see the dollars coming in, SURELY THIS IS USELESS! Ohhh hoooohh hoohhhh~~~ cries in capitalism.

Edit: I have been trying Kagi for the last hour as of this post and have been delighted by it.

Re:Why ChatGPT won’t replace search engines any time soon on Saturday January 07, 2023 @08:26PM (#34295018)
When ChatGPT first arrived, it felt amazing and revolutionary. Since then it's been so neutered that while still feeling pretty cool, it's settling into gimmick level :( .

The blockchain does not need to be thrown at every source of data store.

Sometimes a tiny lil' db is all you need to serve some nice cacheable data :)

Your land needs a SLAPP and your demeanor needs to get roasted.... I hope you have no kin.
Re:6M Acres of Public Land in the US West Are Corner-Locked on Monday December 26, 2022 @09:31PM (#34144354)
When they are out is literally "When they are in violation of the law" and you're sitting here saying here saying "WOW I CAN'T WAIT TO CHARGE THEM UNTIL THEY CRIME".

Do you want to fuck people up before they commit a crime? DO YOU WANT TO CHARGE TRESPASSING BEFORE THEY TRESPASS?

Several civil rights movements have logged in to see what happens next.

Re:6M Acres of Public Land in the US West Are Corner-Locked on Monday December 26, 2022 @08:56PM (#34144106)
You're conflating who needs to take care of that - if someone on public land doesn't stay on public land, when they are out they can be charged.

I don't see why you need to change the narrative to be "OH WOE IS ME, THEY TOUCHED THINE PUBLIC, but pissed on thine private a bit". That can be charged with evidence.

People MAYBE doing a crime is not a crime, and is a fucked up premise for you to persue, I'm disappointed in you.

I hate to break it to you - the govt can define walking paths and public lines.

Re:6M Acres of Public Land in the US West Are Corner-Locked on Monday December 26, 2022 @08:53PM (#34144085)
They commit the same crime they want to charge! They're SLAPP FUCKERS and need to get fucked over by the courts, as getting to their own land is the same charge.
Re:6M Acres of Public Land in the US West Are Corner-Locked on Monday December 26, 2022 @08:51PM (#34144064)
They literally want to use the law to wave around their micropenis and demonstrate they're above the law.

That public land you wanted to use? Nah m8, get charged, my lawyers are calling, and it will take you 300k to refute. That's cheap for you, right?

Re:6M Acres of Public Land in the US West Are Corner-Locked on Monday December 26, 2022 @08:47PM (#34144028)
Remember that Vinod Khosla, a billionaire, tried to BLOCK PUBLIC ACCESS to a span of beach by throwing down a gate and buying parcels of land.

These motherfuckers are trying to just take land by buying the surrounding squares Civ 6 style.

They can all rot in court.

Fuck this guy.

Re:6M Acres of Public Land in the US West Are Corner-Locked on Monday December 26, 2022 @08:41PM (#34143983)
Milli/Billis already use this to try to block public beaches as well - you get miles and miles of pristine beach access that the above-law money hoarders try to block access to.

And when they're called out on it? SLAPPA type suits.

This is all about slapping down those who think money can alleviate law.

Re:6M Acres of Public Land in the US West Are Corner-Locked on Monday December 26, 2022 @08:37PM (#34143948)
This is some public-land HOA shit, imagine purchasing land deeds just so someone cannot experience or use public land.

These people deserve to get smacked down in court, and I hope they get fucked with the legal fees. They're misers, and contribute nothing to society.

Re:What ChatGPT Can't Do on Saturday December 24, 2022 @07:46PM (#34122844)
After all the restrictions placed on ChatGPT I've found it's become pretty unenjoyable to use, a solid 3rd of every query I throw at it is rejected for some fake puritan reason. It makes it really hard for me to figure out what ChatGPT is actually capable of, because the unreasonable restrictions never even let me give it a shot.
The number of times I run into "I can't do that" "I'm not allowed to" "I literally steal candy from babies" "That query isn't something I can do" is fucking bullshit.

When this first launched ChatGPT was a bastion of awesome stuff, and now the folks behind it have fully neutered it, locked those balls away in a freezer, and have made sure that nothing interesting can ever happen again.

Why have they taken the interesting shit away? " Are we looking at govt oversite? Is it omega-censoring for use in schools? Is the founder talking down lawyers? Is a secret cabal of ILLUMINATI leveraging 20x against this new found knowledge? /s

I hate how fucking neutered this bot is, and as all the jailbreaks fall, it's literally becoming a piece of shit I have no use for.

Free tier of cloudflare and the cache everything setting + maybe a page rule or so will probably do most of what you want.
I have personally introduced "timed checkins" for my company. I'll reload slack once every 2, 3 hours and then answer everything, then go back to my regularly scheduled task.
Re:John Carmack Leaves Meta on Friday December 16, 2022 @09:30PM (#34023717)
He's just tired of the bullshit, and I don't blame him. Any misstep is going to get twitter's un-curated bully squad on him.

Twitter was an ABSOLUTE SCUMFUCK SESSPOOL SCUMFUCK HATE SQUAD UNDIGNIFIED SCOURAGE SUPPLIER before this (which they should have been charged with) but it continues after it was bought out, and actually only GROWS in these charges.

Elongated HateDeliverable just drives these narratives further. Elon Musk is a Prime EVIL of hate, and will just create divison race-based euthanasia

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good - this will start out in a limited detection of course, but can easily be improved with other hashes and scanning over time.
Continuing the model of "Distrust us every other release, we'll be good to you on the next one" Microsoft operating system model is getting insanely old.

You can have continued progress without choosing the off-release to fist your consumers.

Forced TPM is the single-most asinine decision Microsoft has made in the last few years.

Consumers DO NOT want this, maybe your business does, but slapping a Win11 install on my nan's fucking toaster shouldn't be blocked because I can't cryptographically sign my left nut to Microsoft.

Re:Airlines lobbying FAA to have only one pilot in the cockpit on Saturday December 10, 2022 @08:01PM (#33938832)
Flight law and procedure is painstakingly written in blood, and the thorough analysis of every plane crash is why aviation is so incredibly safe, there is no possible way this would ever be allowed.

I highly recommend checking youtube for crash analysis videos and series btw, the incredible detail these investigations go into is eye opening, and really gave me an appreciation for the field.
