Some right libertarians actually believe the bullshit that free markets magically pop up out of the ground like weeds if you just don’t regulate anything. This is obviously untrue. You need the right type of regulation to have a free market. Otherwise you end up with cartels and monopolies.

Those that operate the cartels and monopolies know this, but continue to feed the propaganda machine that spouts the opposite.

Ok so after another reply it was then. Bye!

I’d recommend you bow out of this one, it’s abundantly clear that you’re in over your head here.

I’d recommend you see a shrink because you’re escalating the importance of yourself and of one of the stupidest arguments I’ve ever seen.

Should I block you now, or after the next wall of text you produce?

That a particular post “sounds” fake as hell is indeed a specific, qualified claim.

I’m not saying that nothing similar ever happened at any point in time which is what you’re trying to get me to defend. I’m saying that this particular post sounds fake as hell.

Nextdoor also works for buying and selling junk, but it’s basically as terrible as Facebook at this point. Nearly every post is full up with brunchlords and Karens.

That is not what I commented.

Why are so many arguments on the Internet started like this where a specific, qualified claim is made and then the response tries to pretend a universal, unqualified, ridiculous claim was made instead?

Sounds fake as hell tbh

I wrote my own. It’s one of the easiest possible services to write.

Between this and expedition 33, France is coming up with some Ws these days.

Hey, I know this one. I’ve had it since I was a small child but didn’t quite know the name.

How are they preventing public release then?

Look it’s either skynet or it fucking isn’t.

They lock essential things (e.g. food, water, shelter, medical services, etc.) behind a paywall because they know it is not true that people do not always—or even usually—want money.

But people do need essentials to live, and if they’re the only ones who can give you money to get those, then they can order you to do what they want instead.

They did open the strait though, just to anyone who will pay a $2 million bribe in not USD.

It seems clear to me that cloud LLMs have the same scaling problems and demand concerns that cloud gaming did.

Oh well, maybe regular people will have to still run software locally after all. 🤷

I thought part of the point was to have a website work more as an application: one update to a piece of information results in that information being near instantly updated across the site.

Then I looked into the angular stuff the UI people were working on and yeah… something like 10 (costly) requests for the same exact fucking JSON. They were talking about doing caching on the frontend to optimize it. What are we even doing?!

Modern UI development is such fucking shit. I have no idea why they went with all of these heavyweight shit frameworks.

There’s a kind of law here that should be named IMO when dealing with LLMs:

In a long enough interaction with an LLM the probability that it generates a very incorrect, borderline insane response approaches 100%.

People say I’m weird. Okay, I was raised by a very weird family in very weird circumstances, doing my best to be sane and normal in a weird situation.

I feel for you. At least some members of my family are either psychopaths, have narcissistic personality disorder, or both. I think the comorbidity there is pretty common.

The lifelong damage caused by being raised around sociopaths is real — as is the continuing damage from living in a country run by them.

Time to dump GitHub for codeberg.

Including being good to hypothetical, unlikely trillions that may live someday if we colonize Mars.
