The hackers of yesteryear accomplished actual magic, true sci-fi shit, by refusing to do the same task manually more than once.
This stubborn laziness is why Grace Hopper made the goddamn compiler for fuck's sake.

Okay then. This again?
This is going to be a chain of skeets, because as a widower I have a lot to say on this topic.
1) This is desecrating the dead. That’s the nicest way to describe the atrocity of animating the image of a dead loved-one, stealing their voice, and claiming to speak for them.

I don't know if foreign product support teams know how alienating it is for Americans to be called "friend."
I'm not your friend I am your customer and if you're not telling me to drink fucking dog water I don't know if you have it in you.

The problem statement looks like this: we want to deduplicate the Fizz and Buzz cases, but we also don’t want to introduce new state bools to decide whether or not to print the integer

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Announcing our Rust as a Common Implementation Language track at #RustNYC Unconf 2025!
Join @lucretiel.me to explore how established teams can benefit from Rust without full rewrites. Why maintain separate Java/Python/Node implementations when a single Rust library could serve all?

I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.

My phone has full optical character recognition of 47,000 photos. I can search individual words.
I cannot search three words in quotes.
Computers used to be powerful. That power meant something. It was power for making your life better in sovereignty to your own interests.
And now we have this.

"This could take down Democrats, too."
I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.
Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

You can't just point to some blanket policy, because you're missing the entire point of moderation. If it was easy, we could let the bots do it. We know that bad actors will always seek to weaponize the rules. That is precisely why we need human judgment to weed that out. There is no magic.

This is the core challenge with content moderation. People want it to be an objective measure, but it's not. It is always a subjective decision. You're telling people that in order to use your platform, they have to submit to your judgment. But that means you actually have to make a judgement.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
