I agree. It leads to problems of its own.

It’s a programing term that comes from the phrase “shooting yourself in the foot”. Come to think about it, a loaded gun is a great example of safety mechinisms.

Theres two ways of looking at safe systems,

• People are idiots and will get themselves hurt. The machine should prevent them to keep them safe at all costs.

Or

• without guardrails, people are vulnerable idiots and I am too. Let the machine prevent them until they understand and accept the risk.

As memtioned elsewhere in the thread, political pressure prevents implementation of safe systems. I absolutely love safeguards and being safe because foot guns are nasty. (Its why Rust is a great language.) but I will fight against things clearly created under the former philosophy because it locks people out of their own property. Because sometimes the “safety” is an excuse for controlling behavor.

you don’t have to use it.

On windows, “its optional” means somthing diffrent than on linux.

On linux a feature like this is just a command or a toggle switch in the settings.

Its admittedly a neat concept, I use OBS for this verry reason, to capture moments where I didnt think to press “record” beforehand. An (unprivlaged, no internet access) userland foreground app with “start/stop/delete past hour” buttons. All from the easy to understand from a glance taskbar icon.

Sadly, we only got a few of these safety features later on because like software, people will also refuse to buy a car without seatbelts or working breaks.

People are saying “no!” now so they dont have to say no later when its much harder to say no (when its in your home, on your pc). Microsoft plugs their ears when their customers say “it’s unsafe” and “no means no” because they want you to partake in this transaction with them reguardless of if you do.

non existent options for CLI tools

When writing vanila javascript, it writes loke a newbie. Anything remotely objscure and it will make things up.

Oh. so you are saying they use need to use copyright enforcement tools irreguardless of if it is a valid takedown according to copyright law. NOT that they are trying to invent a legal reason.

so if Im getting this correct, because zuckerburg runs ads, you can claim the usage is always commercial therefore always subject to copyright control. if you want nudity taken down, you must use (and in the process normalize) this easly abusable loophole that contains absolutely no safeguards.

when microsoft feels threatened by the recycling community being noticed, they add more technical constraints. Chromebooks are the gold standard for an intentionally non recyclable machine, neck and neck with apple.

yup, its an “oh, you concider it garbage? oh well, more for me then!” situation.

My favorate quote about the language is, “it feels like rust was made by people who hate uncertan behavor.” Languages with manual memory management are harder. On top of that, Rust demands you prove your memory management is ‘correct’.

arent they refrencing the famous quote from some guy in the school admin. talking about how school is for training people to be a part of the working class.

A doll is also designed to be anthropomorphised, to have life projected onto it. Unlike dolls, when someone talks about LLMs as alive, most people have no clue if they are pretending or not. (And marketers take advantage of it!) We are feed a culture that accedentially says “chatGPT + Boston Dynamics robot = Robocop”. Assuming the only fictional part is that we dont have the ability to make it, not that the thing we create wouldn’t be human (or even be need to be human).

reply to me with youtube URLs videos, channels or playlists that you find interesting.

Ive been archiving for years and this looks like it may be the final clean batch I can produce. Feel free to specify other tags that may be useful and I will add them.

the AI “decided” in the same way the dice “decided” to land on 6 and 4 and screw me over. the system made a result using logic and entropy. With AI, some people are just using this informal way of speaking (subconsciously anthropomorphising) while others look at it and genuinely beleave or want to pretend its alive. You can never really know without asking them directly.

Yes, if the intent is confusion, it is pretty minipulative.

money… chip I have in my rig right now is so expensive, I would need to save up for at least a year. its not broken so the money can be used on other things.

the capitolists are almost at the end of the of hungry hungry hippos game played with the world’s money.

There are subreddits I want to archive before things get any worse, any tools I can use or any way to adapt the backend for this task?

I would compare it to taking the case off your phone, placing it screen down, and dragging it across the desk. Flat small and thin.
