Except for Ireland.

Then perhaps you should seek help.

That's an x86 thing, though.

Flour, presumably.

Pray tell, what does it say about me?

That would have been a very fair point but to me, the tone definitely comes off as "how dare these annoying waiters try to sell me coffee so that the shop doesn't lose money from me occupying a seat" and "how dare teenagers enjoy their time in a coffee shop, don't they know I have work to do?"

> So what to do? Go to nearest coffee shop. You’re lucky if they don’t play tasteless trendy music. You’re lucky if a waiter doesn’t keep asking if you need anything, isn’t intrusive, and doesn’t subtly let you know when it’s time to leave by checking on you constantly . You’re lucky if no teenagers talking loudly about their-whatever-teens-talk-about-these-days. Oh, by the way, pay a lot of money to be here and to drink a nice cup of burnt coffe.

Astonishingly entitled. The point of a coffee shop isn't to provide you with a nice space to work but to sell coffee.

(I don't know enough about the CFAA to know whether this is true so I'll assume it is.)

To continue the garage door analogy, you wouldn't walk up to any random garage door and try code 12345 to help protect the owner's stuff, would you?

And why does the linked paper not qualify as such a link?

No, and that's a good thing. Just look at how quickly features are added to the living browser standards. Instead, we get a new POSIX version every couple of years that includes the special cases that actually work the same on BSDs and Linux after they're already implemented.

No, the argument is that it didn't "wipe the continent" and in fact caused far less damage than other things we're totally fine with. I don't see GP saying that they want an incident like this to repeat, just that, if it did, the consequences would be far less severe than "wiping the continent".

The data seems to indicate that specifically social media is the cause. Take a look at some of the articles at https://www.afterbabel.com/t/the-international-mental-health... where the whole topic is discussed in more detail than fits in this comment box.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm merely pointing out that you're not disagreeing with GP either.

As a barely former teen, what awaits in those virtual spaces is both worse than the dismissal and arguably feeds the naïveté causing said dismissal.

But GP used client and server correctly, no? In the traditional model, the server renders the text it received from the client. Nowadays, the client renders it itself and pushes the whole bitmap to the server.

There's no need to wait, just look at the current mental health crisis.

You... you don't actually think we talk like that, do you?

I'd consider equating people and robots rather more degrading to people than calling non-people "slurs".

I have used OpenBSD on first a Raspberry Pi 3 and then 4. I liked it, until one day the system stopped responding on either SSH and the serial port, so I had to cut the power to reboot. That's fine, these things happen, but I lost several system files in the process and I couldn't figure out which ones. I only noticed because some things no longer worked and there were some files in /usr's lost+found.

OpenBSD's file system does not have journalling. Their closest equivalent, soft updates, was removed some versions ago, so that they can add journalling later. Until that happens, I will install OpenBSD anywhere again.

That's a shame because apart from that, it really is a good operating system. The documentation is excellent and there are some great services in base. I much prefer OpenSMTPD over Postfix, for example, because it's just a lot simpler and I don't feel unsure if I've missed some option that I really needed to change for the system to be secure.

Why would hunter/gatherer cultures be less aware of their surroundings? They depend on them a lot more; need to know where to move next to find good food sources for the current season. Plus, it's not like these people haven't had sacred spaces that they visited, which requires knowing how to get there from wherever you currently are.

Given that cultures on all (at the time) inhabited continents have flood myths, it seems very safe to say that they were aware of it.

No. Central to the trolley problem is that you're in a _runaway_ trolley. In this case, OpenAI not only chose to start the trolley, they also chose to not brake even when it became apparent that they were going to run somebody over.

Not necessarily. The security issues are with the libxml implementation, a different one might be more secure even with JIT. That's part of what makes the whole situation so ridiculous.

This is getting into conspiracy territory but my personal assumption that they're trying to gaslight people into thinking that these weird AI artifacts are just how videos work, so that it's harder to distinguish between real videos and AI generated ones.

Oh, I understand that that's the WHATWG proposal. I'm talking about webstrand's idea.

Looking at your numbers, twitter went from 7,490 employees before Musk's layoffs to 2,840 in 2024. That's still a reduction by 63%.

Not necessarily. The idea is that this is browser-internal, so presumably it would still work even if JS from external sources is disabled.

No, but they curl up into a ball to protect themselves. Since they're spiky, that seems to work reasonably well against animals. Less so against blades.
