  • TOML

  • Human and machine read differently. If you ignore that (in case with indentation), then why bother with writing human-friendly form of code, when what is going to be really executed is something else?

  • Anthropic says it ‘cannot in good conscience’ allow Pentagon to remove AI checks

  • I am going to buy a big bucket of pop-corn for this

  • TOML

    Jump

  • Because I am not counting white space when I read. Or should we just write machine code/assembler/pick something straight away?

  • You are not alone, my friend

  • huh. didn't expect that

    Jump

  • And it will. Why do you think they explained to me how car works long before I ever sat in a driver's seat?

  • AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations— Leading AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95% of cases

    Jump

  • Humans have used nukes. So... eh? Where is the surprise?

  • huh. didn't expect that

    Jump

  • Lol. Imagine being so inept that you can't imagine anyone preferring GUI over CLI

  • huh. didn't expect that

    Jump

  • Downvotes you already have, so I will restrict myself to explaining:

    • CLI is the only way I've ever installed anything in a Linux OS. Has served me well for a decade or more
    • doing stuff without knowing what you are doing is going to land you in a mess, no matter how hard GUI tool devs are trying to prevent that

  • Discord cuts ties with Peter Thiel-backed verification software after its code was found tied to US surveillance efforts

    Jump

  • Nah, don't believe it. Reason: money

  • seriously

  • Everyone who is into "we keep using oil no matter what, shut the fuck up" gets scared and guess what - controllable. Tactic sounds familiar? That's because it should

  • Colorado Lawmakers Push for Age Verification at the Operating System Level

    Jump

  • A-ha. All for the sake of children. Guess what makes my butt hurt: there are still people who buy this. And many of them

  • The bloat is coming from inside the house!

    Jump

  • Like all things, it will pass. Still the possibility to go that far is a blessing

  • Ad companies are the ones destroying civilization

    Jump

  • You laid it out so well I needed time to process it, my thanks :)

    Exactly. There is no systemic response to the issue

  • Sam Altman would like remind you that humans use a lot of energy, too | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Plan is obvious... to me. Why not so to everybody else

  • K, by my measurement we don't need to invest more in keeping him alive

  • They definitely try, but why do we let them?

  • The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents

    Jump

  • That (Youtube and Instagram etc. ) contributes, no doubt, but not a deciding factor. Way to check: is it possible to produce smart people from kids using electronic educational media without restrictions? May answer is "Yes, there is a way to do that" as in "no law of nature prevents this from happening"

    But education is veery fucked. Not just in US. For many decades, in many ways. And this is not going to be fixed with changing print books to laptops, vice versa or with any other superficial way of pretending to care. I wish enough people understood this (edit: this does not refer to you, but to people in general. Many don't even burden themselves with the matter)

    Jump

  • Nah, don't buy it. Paper does not produce smart people via some magic, screen does not produce dumb people via some magic. This works in a different, but fairly simple way

  • Firefox is ending support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1, and users are urged to switch to Linux

    Jump

  • I’ve used Windows since i was a kid

    substitute "Windows" with "computer". If you have any history of resolving "this doesn't work for me" on your own (as opposed to waiting for someone else do to it for you), you will be fine. Just be sure not to jump into unknown when you have urgent important things to do :)
