If you're not willing to murder, you will be. I'm not talking about the small community, but at a society level. Unfortunate reality with humans. You think Zelensky would say no to AI that can help him kill and win his war?

You may want to also have your agents write small scripts that auto flag future logs.

Have an array of scripts to run against each log (just rust code probably for speed) and have them flag for performance, errors, intrusions, etc...

Death threats mainly. Personally I think it would be easier if they just made it so that platforms ran a tiny LLM against the content that will be posted - determined if it is a death threat, then require them to be identified before it's posted, then it would solve a lot of these problems.

TLDR: Evil people be doxxed internally not everyone.

I have basically no money, doing this paycheck to paycheck and some debt. But this is only possible in a capitalist country with property rights.

Ah, I see what you're doing: you're "reasoning" by cherry-picking a particular historical example of a larger category (probably the centrally-planned Soviet economy, which is not even a good example of communism), then insisting that category can't be anything but.

The larger and larger a communist society becomes, the more it will devolve into soviet style central planning because of emergencies. The country will get its first food shortage and BAM everyone will be directed to do something different. And the reason food shortages happen is because the price of food and the prices of things end up being centrally controlled because revolt over prices. Because the government is required to stop price hikes, it ends up forcing a company to changes prices, possibly causing it to go out of business. It's a non-stop whack a mole with communism and ALWAYS will end up self sabotaging and turning into soviet style crapville. That's why I mentioned communism can be great with 30 people, but never great when a large 100m+ population is under communism rules. Market pricing works by self governing the prices and also allows for smart entrepreneurs to do something new and innovating.

> The reality of communistic societies however is that it gets mismanaged by people in power due to fraud, power and control.

Sounds like capitalism.

That is exactly communism. Pure Capitalism does not have fraud because the checks and balances are competition trying to wipe your company out - everyone has to work hard and fraud doesn't exist because there's no well of free money. I'm not arguing for pure capitalism because I like regulation for clean air and water, but when we go too far in the direction of free money wells, you can get MN Daycares - where there is no checks and balances. The government has little to no reason to check on said fraud because the government itself wants the fraud (for votes to keep itself in power, for example).

Thankfully because we found out about the MN fraud (and CA and WA and other states) the American people will not stand for it and crush these communistic policies - you watch it will happen. If it doesn't happen it's because the people that would have cared enough have fled those states in enough numbers and the rest in a fen slump while the treasury gets raided. This is why better states don't allow such government ruining policies.

A nation banning privately owned business and made everything worker owned is not how communism works. And even if it did - it drives 0 innovation, nothing you do as an entrepreneur is yours (except like you said, 1/num-employees). But like I said that's not how communism works- you as a worker get moved around where you are needed. You're not allowed to leave the company or the country, and you have no freedoms to say - this isn't fair.

It's mind-bogglingly evil and I can't believe people like you defend it on Hacker News of all places.

This is not the same as a company like Bob's Red Mill worker owned because Bob (who I actually met before he died) was a very benevolent person. Those people ARE lucky, but it's because they live in a capitalist society where they have rights to make choices.

The reality of communistic societies however is that it gets mismanaged by people in power due to fraud, power and control. The people in government also often decide to shut you up. If you speak up they WILL shoot you with a 15 50 caliber weapons for 1 minute.

Communism works great in small very focused communities of fewer than 30 people where you can - more or less- make sure everyone is doing the same amount of work, and you have the right to leave it if you want.

In capitalist societies you can own property, so you don't own 0, you don't own 1/100000000. Instead you have the option to buy 30 acres of land and build a house on it and have your own farm and do whatever the fuck you want on it - and ignore the state when you can - like I did.

If you own 1/1000000000 of the state and put in 100% of your labor power, how much of that labor power output is now yours after you perform it?

And your reward? If you're lucky and things are not mismanaged, you get to eat and you might have a place to lay your hat.

That is Literally the definition: society based on common ownership of the means of production

They try to hide that away by flowering you with "everything is free" and "communal this and that" but when it comes down to it, the very exact definition is you don't own your labor.

it literally describes the gartnerhype cycle. this article is pointless, the only thing that matters is what survives it with over 1m users. AI will have billions of users when GHC is on the back end.

For all of those, there is a gartner hype cycle. The thing that matters is when it comes out the back end, is 1m, 1b, 6b people using it?

for all the things you listed, less than 1000 people are using it, with AI we're clearly not finished with the gartner hype cycle, but the back end is going to be over a billion users.

I didn't read the report just the "finding" - but at least for launchdarkly it's nice that it chose a roll-your-own, i hate feature flag SaaS, but that's just me
