Something tells me that the MAGA base won't be too happy about this. They want the deportations to happen in their communities.

"Sorry Texas: Because you're full of MAGA people we're cutting your ICE resources."

To me, this is like saying, "4chan has turned into a cesspool!" Yeah: It was like that from the start. YOU were the ones that assumed it was ever safe!

You're posting stuff on the public Internet to a website for adults where literally anyone can sign up and comment FFS.

If you want good moderation you need community moderation from people in that community. Not some giant/evil megacorp!

There's all sorts of tools and platforms that do this properly, easily, and for free. If you don't like Meta's websites move off of them already!

Apparently billionaires do give a shit. A lot of it. An entire island of shit... Trickling down to the next layer down of ~~hell~~ rich people.

Mods on Xbox only exist for games where the game itself officially added mod support. I mean, sure it's great when a game maker does that but usually it's not as good as community-made mod support because community mods don't require approval and can't get censored/removed because the vendor doesn't like it.

Remember: Microsoft's vision of mods is what you get with the Bedrock version of Minecraft. Yet the mods available in the Java version are so vastly superior the difference is like night and day.

Console players—that are used to living without mods—don't understand. Once mods become a regular thing that you expect in popular games going without them feels like going back into the dark ages.

All the fun of Windows gaming with the locked-down ecosystem of a console (no mods). What could go wrong?

It's Windows Mobile all over again.

Interestingly, that's how it works for construction jobs too!

Things will break and they will be back.

How can you write an article like this without mentioning the specific types of plastic? There's hundreds of common plastics and I'm certain that many of them are vastly more harmful than others.

The courts need to settle this: Do we treat AI models like a Xerox copier or an artist?

If it's a copier then it's the user that's responsible when it generates copyright-infringing content. Because they specifically requested it (via the prompt).

If it's an artist then we can hold the company accountable for copyright infringement. However, that would result in a whole shitton of downstream consequences that I don't think Hollywood would be too happy about.

Imagine a machine that can make anything... Like the TARDIS or Star Trek replicators. If someone walks up to the machine and says, "make me an Iron Man doll" would the machine be responsible for that copyright violation? How would it even know if it was violating someone's copyright? You'd need a database of all copyrighted works that exist in order to perform such checks. It's impossible.

Even if you want OpenAI, Google, and other AI companies to pay for copyrighted works there needs to be some mechanism for them to check if something is copyrighted. In order to do that you'd need to keep a copy of everything that exists (since everything is copyrighted by default).

Even if you train an AI model with 100% ethical sources and paid-for content it's still very easy to force the model to output something that violates someone's copyright. The end user can do it. It's not even very difficult!

We already had all these arguments in the 90s and early 2000s back when every sane person was fighting the music industry and Hollywood. They were trying to shut down literally all file sharing that exists (even personal file shares) and search engines with the same argument. If they succeeded it would've broken the entire Internet and we'd be back to using things like AOL.

Let's not go back there just because you don't like AI.

support policies that promote childbearing.

...like making abortion legal in all 50 states again? Like comprehensive sex education in schools? Like treating women as people and not property?

The most effective way for the Southern Baptists to promote childbearing would be for them to stay the fuck out of politics!

Who knows, maybe ~~we might even let them come back to US soil~~ they might leave CECOT alive—some day.

FTFY.

When you kidnap people without due process on the regular you're encouraging people to fight back. When you send them to foreign gulags known for literally torturing and killing people and forcing them into slave labor you're encouraging them to fight back with deadly force.

Dying—fighting for your life—sure sounds better than just giving up and letting ICE take you away. At this point the Trump Administration and ICE cannot be trusted to execute due process. They're operating outside of the law. They are the lawless ones.

They're hoping for deadly conflict and I fear they're going to get it. Though, on the plus side I'm 100% certain they will be unhappy with the outcome. In both the short and long term.

To be fair, the world of JavaScript is such a clusterfuck... Can you really blame the LLM for needing constant reminders about the specifics of your project?

When a programming language has five hundred bazillion absolutely terrible ways of accomplishing a given thing—and endless absolutely awful code examples on the Internet to "learn from"—you're just asking for trouble. Not just from trying to get an LLM to produce what you want but also trying to get humans to do it.

This is why LLMs are so fucking good at writing rust and Python: There's only so many ways to do a thing and the larger community pretty much always uses the same solutions.

JavaScript? How can it even keep up? You're using yarn today but in a year you'll probably like, "fuuuuck this code is garbage... I need to convert this all to [new thing]."

Define, "reasoning". For decades software developers have been writing code with conditionals. That's "reasoning."

LLMs are "reasoning"... They're just not doing human-like reasoning.
