I don’t automatically hate someone because someone calls them despicable

Why does it matter to you so much that OC is unambiguous?

Genuine question: are you on the spectrum? I find this reaction strange

this is really hard. nice!

Why does this shorthand upset you?

Would you prefer OC was more specific, ie “the author turned out to be a racist”, or do you have an issue with calling someone like this despicable?

Identical treatment of all people in all situations for all laws does not exist and should not exist.

Children have different labor restrictions than adults.

Police have different gun access than civilians.

Businesses pay a different set of taxes than individuals.

And allowing businesses to do camera surveillance when you enter their property is in no way the same as allowing everyone to videotape each other at all times covertly and without consent. I really can't understand what process of reasoning could even get you there, besides "equal rights absolutism," which makes no sense.

I believe NYC cops should be able to have guns. I dont want guns to be widely accessible in NYC.

I’m comfortable with armed security at an airport. I’m less comfortable at a supermarket.

absolute rules only hold in math. in life, almost everything is a matter of degree and of details. that doesnt make it hypocrisy

you genuinely dont see a difference between

(1) a single or handful of security-angled cameras controlled by a local business for security purposes

(2) any individual possibly recording you at eye level at any second without you knowing, and having the ability to use and manipulate that footage and upload it to the internet

During my first role at <big company>, I believe I accidentally made an enemy of a couple of directors due to ill-timed interpersonal awkwardness and unwillingness to suck up. What can I say - I thought tech was about meritocracy and cutting the BS. I was laid off in the next round despite doing good work. I learned my lesson and now I’m (I think) well-liked.

Its pretty clearly AI written but human curated (hopefully). To me it didnt read like unadulterated slop

High quality, charming article. The Hikaru defeat mentions made me chuckle. One possibility I think you’ve omitted is that they slopped the puzzles pretty hard

The fallacy is that f(t+N) can be obtained by iterating f(t+1) N times. This is the “step”

You don’t consider supporting “remigration”, aka forced expulsion of non-white-skinned people, to be actively malicious? What if he was physically going door to door and assaulting immigrants? Would that also be out of scope for you?

this argument assumes that capex and training costs will go down over time. but theyll have to keep up with one another and stay on top of latest knowledge so Im not sure if thats true

i dont think the blog is proposing a long-term criteria. the ugliness is funny and worth noting now because its currently happening and a great symbol of them pushing plainly horrible stuff down our throats

no, they’re not

i know what it means. you’re projecting something completely inappropriate, i’m guessing from your own life, onto the blogs criticism.

it is spiritually the same even if its not exactly the same

zuck is trying to push bad, ugly glasses to profit at the expense of causing nefarious social impact. the blog is mocking the ugliness of the glasses. it represents how out of touch zuck is. i’m not sure how you got to “four eyes” from there

I find it to be an acceptable use of mockery, one of the most powerful cultural methods of exposing that the emperor has no clothes

I must agree that is quite poorly phrased

So far Trump has overhauled/decimated our national health leadership; imposed large, arbitrary and volatile tariffs, including on our allies; emboldened immigration enforcement to brutalize and harass people based on their ethnic background; manipulated the stock market for the benefit of him and his cronies; started a war of choice with Iran which has caused an historic global energy shock; threatened to invade Greenland and Canada.

Do you consider this to be nondisruptive policymaking?

Do you consider this to be helpful to those close to you?

Ah, okay! Would you mind explaining what does "comparing wording, not exact text" mean?

This is one of the coolest tech things I've seen in a while. Can you explain how the "Check a document" works? I'm not sure I understand how you would check if the timing aligns based only on the text content.

If it works for you, and you can care about other people and yourself, then thats all that matters. I kind of dont believe that you truly reduce yourself as much as you claim you do

Theyre probably looking to get a way to slow down the capex required to keep up, so they can be more profitable

If someone really is nothing but a next thought prediction machine then they deserve pity because theyre a human who has been so abused that they forgot that theyre real

It’s likely that the cognitive functioning of the brain has a lot to do with prediction. But to reduce the conscious experience to that is incredibly sad, wrong and insulting, no matter how many people sign on to deny their own existence.

Me pitying you is both genuine and an insult, because you are insulting me and every other person with your dehumanizing theory, even if you don’t see it that way. People like you should be pitied so that their dehumanizing beliefs can be appropriately contextualized and discounted.

Ill leave it at that.

I wasn’t trying to attack you. I was genuinely telling you how shocking and sad I find your belief about yourself. If it has an air of hostility or condescension, its because you are dehumanizing yourself and every other person with that belief.
