Hockey stick? Glass beads? What happened to the good old inoculating loop?

One of the psychopaths in charge of the vote linked in another comment lives in the Netherlands, which has an all-out ban on guns.

When psychopaths can't find an outlet in violence, they try their best to create the closest approximation in the form of social warfare.

We should probably be happy that their violent urges are limited to fighting ghosts in a fork of a fork of a repository management tool rather than injuring their countryman. Should we not?

It's about control. It's always been about control. The moderators of this project would happily throw you under the bus if you ever in any way displeased them while being an AI user.

Apple would not waste money astroturfing on HN to sell O(1000) Macs.

TGIF at my non-Google startup, founded by xooglers, reeked of the same brototypical sweaty odor alluded to in this story.
Oh good, you're not pulling a Cricut where the app interactively proves to the cutter that it has an AES key and then encrypts all the G-code with it before transmitting over Bluetooth.

Right?

So, sleep deprivation leads to temporary schizophrenia? Who could have foreseen this?
Fun fact, the Zizian AI murder cult is similarly obsessed with the idea of two hemispheres being separate brains. They also believe gender dysphoria is a trait present or absent within each hemisphere.

Their long term goal was to abolish sleep by making one hemisphere of their brains sleep at a time, leaving the other to be awake. Supposedly this would allow them to work more and have more sex. In reality, they all simply went insane, committed pointless murders, and ended up in prison.

As it happens, dolphins and whales do this so as to not drown, and they consequently have an underdeveloped hippocampus and take 3x as long as primates to learn the same things.

Long story short: don't mess with your sleep or you might start a murder cult.

It's pretty clear that they're leaving the time limit in because it attracts engagement in the form of comments like yours.

Dear Kevin: AI models don't contain all of human knowledge. They don't even contain, for example, the complete curricula of the least comprehensive K-12 program.
Why has there not been a class action lawsuit against Cricut for the exact same deceptive and invasive business practices?

Their pen plotters and cutters are unrepairable and their mandatory app doesn't work without an internet connection.

The sad part isn't that the mom with the kids didn't get VC funding because her startup idea isn't hypergrowth enough. It's that she ever thought she needed it in the first place.
The whole conversation about upper and lower floors is absurd. Obviously the upper floors are absorbing more sunlight and need more cooling.

Ground level and basement floors have been known as the coolest places in skyscrapers for centuries.
