Re:Sam Altman's response to Molotov cocktail incident on Friday April 10, 2026 @08:36PM (#47725799)
Ideas.

Now back to reality.

Law: Epstein. ICE, Geneva Convention, Segregation

Bill: Going once, going twice, highest bidder wins. Ironic on a Sama thread.

Trial: OJ Simpson. Many miscarriages.

Vigilantism: Revolutions

I am not saying break the law. I am saying look back at history.

"Like this" is doing some serious work in that statement!
Re:Filing the Corners Off MacBooks on Friday April 10, 2026 @08:26PM (#47725719)
Hmm. Android uses the curvy bits for status so the main area is rectangle. So it is OK. It has the advantage of curved corners on casing to reduce chance of cracking screen on a drop.

Well you wont die on that hardened steel cube :)

External keyboard and mouse too easy?

Unless you fly/train travel alot I guess.

Decaf only is great for coffee lovers. Instant decaf is of course just a way to spoil perfectly good hot water. But decaf beans from a good roaster are good then grind and make what you desire - espresso, pour over, french press, moka etc.

Maybe preground OK for non-espresso too?

The way out of this for the seller is to lie and conflate the rich with everyone. "This technology will make your retirement account grow and other countries will be giving us money!"

Nice little puzzle!

People are renowned voting or buying in their own worst interests. And it goes back to before Trump and in many countries.
Re:Why do we tell ourselves scary stories about AI? on Friday April 10, 2026 @10:54AM (#47719076)
I read and experience scary stories about AI already. It is not a future maybe thing.
1 hour? I'd go with 3 months.

(Reason is if it is not flagged the spread bet pays out for life!)

Re:Old laptops in a colo as low cost servers on Friday April 10, 2026 @10:44AM (#47718933)
If I am going to pay a colo I am going to get a proper server.

Or run the laptop at home and tunnel

Also sounds like a recipe for fire.

This may explain why cold turkey effects for me take 24h to start
Re:We've raised $17M to build what comes after Git on Friday April 10, 2026 @05:57AM (#47715767)
17M isn't a lot of money. It is for a person sure. Retire. Cessna. etc. But not to build a butler!
Re:I still prefer MCP over skills on Friday April 10, 2026 @05:45AM (#47715680)
Like saying I prefer websites over CLI, or bicycles over canoes. Chisels over planes. Depends what you are trying to achieve.
Re:Robots Eat Cars on Thursday April 09, 2026 @10:11PM (#47712791)
The limit to EVs makes it fine (if excl. PHEVs). If BYD/Toyota have more models that is fine for the comparison. That is the point.
Re:Robots Eat Cars on Thursday April 09, 2026 @10:07PM (#47712767)
Yeah but the OP offhand comment is a political soundbite that is technically half true and half prediction but misleading.

People?

Saw zetaflop in the title. Knew it would be that guy!
Re:EFF is leaving X on Thursday April 09, 2026 @09:50PM (#47712634)
Ah I see what you are saying. You are a mattress tester.
Re:EFF is leaving X on Thursday April 09, 2026 @09:48PM (#47712623)
That is my point. Who sees them? whatever the algo predicts will engage.
Re:EFF is leaving X on Thursday April 09, 2026 @07:17PM (#47711547)
I hope they ran the numbers and did some cold surveying/analysis/postmortem before deciding that.

What is worse is those aren't shitty ad impressions. Interested people will be following maybe even expecting to see them. In addition and ironically also other interested people will be algorithmed in to their orbit.

E.g. I read more of a blogger I like because I follow him on LinkedIn over following RSS feed.

Re:EFF is leaving X on Thursday April 09, 2026 @07:15PM (#47711530)
Sounds like: I wont get out of bed for $100k
Re:EFF is leaving X on Thursday April 09, 2026 @07:13PM (#47711514)
> Yes. And we understand why that looks contradictory. Let us explain.

... paraphrase: meet people where they are at ....

Sounds even more contradictory now!

And the traffic loss doesn't explain it. That is a sunk cost fallacy.

Re:The Git Commands I Run Before Reading Any Code on Thursday April 09, 2026 @07:06PM (#47711466)
I'd only look at human/AI edited files (i.e. that require some kind of reasoning) not generated ones (where the reasoning is in the generator).

Generation is precompilation.

Entry point is interesting. Lots of scope to become a scary file.

Yep Googlers... Metans... don't throw stones.

Yep but the idea goes back further. Memory is vague but this may have been it. https://www.ajaxtoolkit.net/DynamicPopulate/DynamicPopulate....
