That just sounds like they’re using it wrong.

most people have severely degraded theory of mind for people in their outgroups and it tends to make them wrong

one of the reasons I was substantially ahead of the curve during the pandemic was that I treated China as a real place, and assumed that the Chinese government and scientists as making decisions for real reasons - not always good ones, but real ones!

Think StarLink is partnering with/ T-Mobile & other US carriers to provide sat. comms.! P. cool! Also heard they’re intending to launch a new series of sats. capable of p. high bandwidth/data trnsfr. Would be cool to have like worldwide data via StarLink w/o needing a cellular provider or smth. 🛰️

Also love how you could be a vocal leftist pushing Marxist ideology & some American liberal will add you to a block-list called like “Right Wing MAGA 💩-Heads”. 🤣😭 Same as it ever was…

Search has also gotten a lot worse over time, paradoxically. Seems to have become a lot more diff. to find good results than it used to. & searching forums etc. for answers has also become much more obfuscated/diff. w/ a lot of projects moving to platforms like Discord. 💀

I think most rhetoric re environmental concerns = overblown at best & bogus at worst. I run local AI models on my MBA—they’re not as resource-intensive for basic use as portrayed. AI saves a lot of time for zoning-in on more specific results to research or, e.g., CLI commands for troubleshooting.

don’t make neutral factual observations on the internet, everyone will think you’re on the opposite side from them and get mean about it

Yeah, I always cross-reference stuff, ofc. AI will lie to you (it’s gotten a lot better, whereas before it would make things up vs. telling you it doesn’t know), but I’d say 80–90% of the time it’s totally accurate. I’ll take AI output & input it into search engine for further eval.

Oh, I’m quite happy. I meant there are a lot of folks on here who just want to be unhappy for some reason instead of being chill & having fun or wanting to discuss things—like what one might think social media is for. 🤷‍♂️

Maybe the people who preached run your own data centers - or at least have hybrid infrastructure - were right all along.

some of you are very fedi brained and it shows
like seeing the concept of "consent" being thrown around in the context of subscribing to an opt-in labeler is absurd

AWS outages are interesting because each time it affects more and more disparate things, each is a snapshot scan of the metastatic cancer infecting the internet.

"stolen intellectual labor" …I don't feign to understand what this is supposed to mean.

👺奇诺［流浪者］👹 @johnben.net · 4h

This sort of sentiment/behavior extends across most of the USA's labor landscape. The USA maintains this mentality of "if you have time to lean you have time to clean", or the idea that being comfortable or happy != real work—smth to this effect.

Israhell claims they're "returning" to the ceasefire. They break it whenever they want and then pretend peace exists. I swear, this is no ceasefire.

I find ChatGPT v. useful for searching/retrieving data. It's p. adept at answering questions & sourcing content along w/ citations & remote links of where it's pulling its info. from. I spent like 20 min. in a watch db looking for a specific model & ChatGPT found it instantly off 1 prompt!

I don't see the point in this post (no offense)? What's the diff. a democracy vs. a republic make? Neither would have much bearing on what the US POTUS could/could not do. Other laws & mechanisms of the US govt.'s org. are meant to limit or procedurize power, not if it's a democracy or republic.

📍Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo street at night
All lit up with vertical signs
I think it’s a famous street…

Two short, humanoid robots hold iPods with advertisements … they look imploringly at the viewer

Night
More buildings with illuminated signs interspersed with all kinds of ramps (pedestrian and vehicular)

A dark street with a slash of illuminated signs
The tones are blue and white

It would be amazing if this passed & the PRC forced Apple to open up its App Store monopoly.
