Make youtube for hackers, that does not suck, or you're going to jail.

Well, this had many layers to it. Small municipality wants the tax money. The municipality's inspector is/was being fired for talking to the press. Google's own regional director played hide and seek with the press. It's not like there's more pressing matters than a giant local datacenter being built. And once he spoke and gave a nonpology, basically lying. The biggest media outlet Helsingin Sanomat put it succinctly: so much intelligence, but none of it was used. All they (Google) had to do was google it, the information of necessary filings are clear. We Finns like to do things by the book. Here corners were obviously deliberately cut. Nobody is crying out for the actual forest loss (though it's not nothing either). It's the principal of having multinational corpos come and suck up the land and resources, and play by their own rules. Our current economy is shit. In the big picture, this whole charade was not a good look on anyone. But it is what it is.

Whenever LostPass, I mean LastPass is mentioned, it makes me feel twitchy and reminds me of that time I made a really bad tech decision of using it.

LastPass is not a secure place to store your passwords. Bitwarden is the second worst place. Don't just take my word for it, do your own research.

Yes, get out already if ypu haven't, this ship has already sank a long time ago. I'm a paying happy 1password customer myself, but you could explore how keepass fits your workflow.

I find it more likely we nuke ourselves with this ratrace to the bottom, than having to worry about supernovas. And what's more I don't buy into this kind of megalomaniac self-serving narrative, that smells of an easy way of enforcing one's broken ideals over others. Happening with AI a lot lately.

I think it was for that linux script thing fwiw, omarchy

Wow. You can make your own conclusions, but my money is not exactly going to flow into DigitalOcean's pocket in the near future.

For context? Idk, I do it all the time... that is not because it's LLM, but because i'm wired that way. I tend to think out aloud.

Would you like to know more? Seriously though, of course, it's tuned for maximum engagement, not maximum efficiency. I wonder how long this engagement dopamine circus can last... too long apparently.

Aaaand... it's not available in your country. Only available in: Australia, Canada, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States.

Which accounts to approximately 8.02% of the global population. Or 37.9% of world nominal GDP. Based on ChatGPT.

Omg, that hit hard. We really need more of this.

Also it was very disorienting especially after making into the circular hole thingy, hard to know which way to aim, some small sign which is the right way would be nice, other than that, quite nice.

Can someone explain where are we at the image processing world/timeline? Why do coding tools suggest to me .avif and .webp, and the support of these lags in Windows OS and then we have things like JpegXL and Jpeg2000 or whatever others are there flying around? Why is it so hard to find our next "jpg format"?

This comment in the footnotes made me chuckle, for purely innocuous reasons.

I just started posting on LinkedIn. It is a more niche audience, Finns, only 5 million of us. I know my posts aren't fake and the people there are one I know. What do you mean by fake? Do you mean fake as in "I am here to sell you my product, which is myself" kind of fake? Is that a feature of LinkedIn or the harsh reality of the "adult world" business? Like sitting in a bunch of meetings trying to figure which of the parties are trying to screw you the least when you're about to buy something. There's levels of fake and you just need to figure out the rest. In a sense yes, of course it's fake, but I'm not sure that the platform is to blame. Same as IG I guess, but I can't say I don't use it.

I'm sure Atlassian knows this as well. When you setup a basic Kanban board in Jira, it is basically a Trello board. It is offered as one of the default options.

I was actually surprised they offered such simple options. Of course the complexity is there, the moment you start wanting an extra column, you're in the rabbit hole.

That is a bold claim!

Yeah, it's not an easy puzzle piece. How far are we going to go in the name of science and progress again? Are you buying it, that it's all for the greater good? Quite a lot of money involved here. Everyone wants a piece of it. But I digress. Dropping the big bomb, stealing the lands and riches of the natives, using slaves and colonies to power the whole civilization into a new era might be powerful and efficient. But it doesn't make it right. I don't buy the narrative. Do no evil until you can no longer say no?

Except the libraries pay the fees of the books, they only serve a dedicated local region of people and by loaning a book, you will know the author of the book.

For LLMs the transformative part is then removing the copyright info and serving it to you as OpenAI whatever.

Sure, you can query multiple books at the same time and the technology is godlike. But the underlying issue remains. Without the original content, the LLM is useless. Someone took all the books, feed them in and didn't pay anything back to the authors.

I'm not sure whether arguing in good faith here. This information you could easily check for yourself too. The problem is not the information itself. It's the massive machinery that steals all the works and one day we are staring at the paywall. And the artists are still not funded. I'd rather just do something nice offline in the future.

Except the school paid royalties for that specific book. Every book. The money was distributed. Writers, publishers and so on. The normal stuff.

Or if you had to buy the book yourself, same thing, distributed, royalties paid.

You are absolutely right.

Seriously though, I do think that is the case. It would be self-righteous to argue otherwise. It's just the scale and the nature of this, that makes it so repulsive. For my taste, copying something without permission, is stealing. I don't care what a judge somewhere thinks of it. Using someone's good will for profit is disgusting. And I hope we all get to profit from it someday, not just a select few. But that is just my opinion.

> Closely related, what do you do with user feedback and complaints? Formerly they might be one of your main signals. Now you've found that you need dependable, deterministic results in your test suite that the agent is executing or it doesn't help. User input is very very noisy.

I don't even use Claude and it has been rather clear to me, that their service has not been working properly for some time now.

In order for LLM to be useful, you need to copy and steal all of the work. Yes, you can argue you don't need the whole work, but that's what they took and feed it in.

And they are making money off of other people's work. Sure, you can use mental jiujutsu to make it fair use. But fair use for LLMs means you basically copy the whole thing. All of it. It sounds more like a total use to me.

I hope the free market and technology catches up and destroys the VC backed machinery. But only time will tell.

Everyone one of us makes mistakes. Wish all well and see what the future brings.

Cha cha cha ...

How is that creditkarma accumulated? By other "users"? Does the intermediary guarantee, the this account is a valid person now and always, and not sold the account or not stolen? I mean, we will always need some middlemen I guess?

> users could then propose changes to the policy and democratically vote on those changes.

Which, in fact, would open up the same rat race with determining which accounts are real and so forth.

Not disagreeing with you, just circling around this same problem. Feels like the world still isn't ready yet.

That's a different risk profile. Companies are governed by local laws, usually, and currently, that works here in Europe.
