I mean in this case it was their company at the start. Like they get (or got) money from it in a way that the usual developer doesn’t. And in this case it’s because of a shitty, greedy action we have a pretty easy solution to. That being piracy.

Fuck I thought men were featherless bipeds?

Just wow bug free code y’all smh

What’s the traffic on invidious? Like, while I don’t necessarily agree with the ad-block-block, the profit motive makes sense given their ubiquity. But are there really enough users of alternate YouTube frontends that Google is capturing any meaningful profit? Especially when developer hours are expensive and could be used elsewhere on more valuable projects?

It’s for me that car is for me

Shot in the dark, but would anyone be willing to share a deadlock invite?

“This image was generated anywhere between 3 and 3 million years ago by an AI”

Right, I recall news from years ago where a bunch of celebrities’ very private photos backed up to iCloud were leaked. They may or may not have known they uploaded those to iCloud, I dunno. But imagine what’s up there if you don’t realize you’re doing a backup. Not just photos, but like scanned documents with vulnerable information. And all that personal info in a centralized server is a big ol honeypot for a malicious actor.

It’s not hard to see why this is a vulnerability, is what I’m getting at.

I would question the efficiency claim. Uber and the like claimed incredible market dominance, driving local food delivery and taxi services out of business. They’re only now really being forced to find profitability.

I wonder if AI is going to be similar. The powerful models right now, as I understand it, have ludicrous power requirements. I don’t know their balance sheets, but in the current race to market share, I’m skeptical that most of these services are in the green.

What that ultimately says about the future I don’t really know. Like it could be we reach some point where the models get better, or more specialized, or something and profit arrive. Or maybe theres a point of diminishing returns where the profit just can’t be made, and once the hype falls off (and investors stop clamoring for AI) these companies will ask what they’re getting for the money spent.

(And of course I could just be straight up wrong about profits today not being there.)

It comes from the case against Henry Ford after he saw his company was making gobs of cash and decided to give some of that to his employees. Shareholders successfully sued him to stop this on the grounds that he has a fiduciary duty to shareholders.

As with anything legal, there is nuance, but the basic assertion that there is fiduciary duty to shareholders is not wrong.

The fuck? Sorry your here telling us that the American prison system is too soft? And that the treatment of r Uygher minority is justified actually?

It’s actually a bad thing that slavery exists. Letting people use slave labor from the prison population creates an economic incentive to imprison innocent people.

Wait what source would you consider Communist outside of relevant state medias?

Why would you say that? Do you think everyone is just really jazzed about death? I think you seem to have missed the point of the outcry.

You really can. Right to work, + free speech is only applicable wrt the government.

The fact that it’s legal does not make it moral.

Not the person you responded to, but: left economically is not left socially.

Also, it’s cheap to speak total bullshit, but it takes time, effort, and energy, to dispel it. I can say the moon is made of cheese, you can’t disprove that. And you can go out and look up an article about the samples of moon rock we have and the composition, talk about the atmosphere required to give rise to dairy producing animals and thus cheese.

And I can just come up with some further bullshit that’ll take another 30 minutes to an hour to debunk.

If we gave equal weight to every argument, we’d spend our lives mired in fact-checking hell holes. Sometimes, you can just dismiss someone’s crap.

This is good, actually. Teach the kids to game robots from a young age!

Oh god.

My service went down at timestamp x

This message looks like a potential root cause and has a lunar origin

the lunar box reports sending a message to me at timestamp y

the relay station reports relaying said message from the lunar box at timestamp z

Can you confirm the lunar message was sent at the right time to have been the cause?

Do the logs on the lunar box come timestamped with a “helpful” string representation? If they’re in unix epoc, is that time dilation adjusted?

How do satellites do it, I wonder?
