Good to know. I had some trouble a couple months back getting wifi and Ethernet working, and learned my phone can provide Internet over USB.

When a certain saint allegedly shot a CEO dead on the street, there was a big surge in support. Sadly, no one else has followed suit.

A lot of people are sick of the ownership class ruining everything, and would cheer for spilled blood.

If someone shot the ceo of uber dead, people would celebrate. They’re all scum.

Any ethical super intelligence would immediately remove billionaires from power. I’d like to see that.

In 2020, Joe Rogan moved from Los Angeles to Austin after visiting and realizing he didn’t have to wear a mask at a restaurant.

What a profoundly stupid man. Him and all his idiot followers deserve far worse than they’re getting.

I did see a job post for a role that was just reviewing AI code. This is all terrible

I don’t want to share my location nor have anyone else’s shared with me.

Friends and partners can text “I’ll be there in 5”

My friend shares her location with her mother. Her mother then nags her with like “Are you seeing someone new? You’re spending a lot of time in north brooklyn now.” Like, who needs that, or even the temptation of that?

A tech solution is not going to fix a social/mental problem like fear of cheating.

If I was going to make something like this, it would have to incorporate trust chains. I don’t care if some maga-hat says this lady is horrible. I care if my good friend Alex says she’s horrible. One person’s “this person won’t shut up about communism” is a big red flag (no pun intended) but for someone else that’s the dream.

When you sign up, you’d need to be referred to someone or be a root node. Anyone connected to you can be weighted differently. If some section of the tree is misbehaving, prune it.

But that’s a lot of work

Google probably wants to keep you on google.com, where they have ads. By doing the AI stuff, you never click through to someone else’s page. They get 100% of the interactions and can sell all the clicks.

It’s monopoly stuff. They should be stopped, with whatever box of liberty is needed.

You are defending the Nazis from the Nazi fund raiser. You don’t want them to be exposed.

“Woke shit” and “Nazi shit” are not comparable.

You’re conflating “illegal” with “just” or “the right thing to do”. Those are two different attributes. Something can be legal and horrifying. Something can be illegal and just.

So this part:

It’s not illegal to be “woke” or whatever the fuck MAGA is calling people, and it’s not illegal to follow dumb Nazi shit. Therefore, NEITHER should be illegally survived.

Doesn’t work. It’s not a question of if it’s illegal. That is largely irrelevant. The proposed action of “we should find out who these Nazis are” may be illegal, but that’s irrelevant. Unimportant.

Nazis are a threat to everyone and should not be tolerated.

You’re giving very lawful-neutral vibes, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you were lawful-evil.

You can make an argument that all laws should apply to everyone equally all the time, but that’s not how the world works right now, neither in practice nor theory, but you also should consider the “paradox of tolerance” problem. It is not a good idea to let Nazis just go around doing Nazi stuff.

They can believe they’re the good guys and they are wrong.

Stop defending nazis

I’m reminded of the quote from Sekiro about knowing the difference between honor and victory

I really want that fundraiser site to be breached so we can find out who the assholes are donating to him. Fire all of them, too. Ruin their presumably already shitty lives.

Do they vet the people? Could someone hypothetically sign up for the app, case the rich person’s situation, and then do crimes? Sounds like a good way to find rich assholes.

Code reviews are important. Unfortunately, no-test-text guy convinced his whole team that he was right, and I wasn’t able to block it. I’d scheduled a meeting to try to get the wider org to adopt a more sensible standard, but then there was a mass layoff 🤷

The other guy with the bad messages is at a tiny startup where they’ve laid off almost everyone, and the other 2 guys don’t want to make waves. The CEO is big on “just ship it” (and also “why are there bugs in production? this is unacceptable!!”)

Sometimes people are my old job post AI stuff and I just tell them “stop using the lie machine”

Automobile companies should be held accountable for destroying and lobbying against other modes of transit, so not really the best metaphor. Also destroying the environment is pretty bad.

Also there’s no cosmic law that says tech companies had to make LLMs and put them everywhere. They’re not even consistently useful.

These big companies have blood on their hands and it seems like no one is willing to do anything about it.

That’s a quote from Eco’s essay on ur-fascism, for the unfamiliar

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/umberto-eco-ur-fascism

“There are government programs that I’d like to see discontinued or cut back, especially those that don’t affect me,” said the retired Scottsbluff firefighter. “But the ones like the Postal Service, yes, we count on them.”

What a piece of shit. I’m so tired of selfish idiots ruining everything.

I’ve worked with a few people who are just incomprehensible. One refuses to write commit messages of any detail. Just “work in progress”. Cast him into the pit.

There was another guy that refused to name his tests. His code was like

describe(''. () => {
  it('', () => {
     expect(someFunc()).toEqual(0);
  }
 it('', () => {
    expect(someFunc(1)).toEqual(0);
  }
 it('', () => {
   expect(someFunc("").toEqual(1);
 }
}

He was like, “Test names are like comments and they turn into lies! So I’m not going to do it.”

I was like, a. what the fuck. b. do you also not name your files? projects? children?

He was working at a very big company last I heard.

edit: If you’re unfamiliar, the convention is to put a human readable description where those empty strings are. This is used in the test output. If one fails, it’ll typically tell include the name in the output.
