What a wonderful excuse to dive back into Clojure! This looks fantastic. I wonder what neat stuff might be made in Clojure thanks to a C FFI that wasn’t doable on top of the JVM.
Your premise is a straw man so maybe keep your opinion on the intelligence of others to yourself. Plenty of journalists are eating well reporting on the negative externalities actively felt by residents who live near…
I can tell you I hate more than anything when I’m lied to. Some AI art could be fantastic (haven’t seen anything yet but I’m sure it’ll happen someday). I don’t want something you prompted an AI for because genuinely I…
The most widespread ramification I think is just a continued disintegration of shared trust in the public square. If you replaced your art team with an AI I won’t give you my money. If you lie about it then you’re just…
> Letting the model run feels like giving up control, while inventing a workflow feels like the responsible move, even when it produces worse work in more time. It feels to me like the discretion of the humans is the…
The US has the highest per-capita rate of imprisonment I think we’re plenty “hard on crime”. What we lack is a principled stance that Americans deserve basic dignity and access to things that make people live less…

My guess is that OP is referring to the MAGA cult but I could be mistaken.
I definitely should have just opened it in reader mode in Safari but I just told myself I’d just not lose my spot again several times like a dope
The number of blogs posted on here by people who can’t be arsed to make their writing legible on mobile blows my mind. Did everybody just skip the section of their CSS journey that covered media queries or what? I…
I think it was more about doing it without a Boolean-based branch construct like a ternary or switch or whatever flavor of thing that abstracts away the explicit checks for true/false by other means. Idk though for sure

“what it does” describes the actions taken - cancer wards work to treat cancer (which is their purpose). Outcomes of what they do isn’t relevant to the point. The purpose of most social media companies is to manipulate…
At that point “human” really only meant the white man who owns property though eh?
The story in the readme is hilarious
> *biased* or misleading The bias is what would make somebody consider some propaganda good and others bad. Like - anti-fascist propaganda is good because it’s biased against an anti-human and oppressive ideology.
Strudel can use custom samples in addition to the built in synths and samples. The language is really expressive. I’ve not gone too far into playing with it but from what I’ve seen it’s pretty flexible. That said I’ve…
I was goofing around with TidalCycles and really wanted to use it for the Haskell syntax but Strudel’s interface is so slick I suffer the JS syntax. Thanks for mentioning superdough I hadn’t seen it anywhere while I was…
The only people who matter are shareholders. Employees are a means to the end of making money for the owners of the company whether through stocks or other kinds of ownership.
It’s an Israeli company - they probably consider their work a matter of national security and get along just fine with that
I’m not precisely sure but I think my health coverage paid by my employer is like 15-20% of my salary
Idk I think saying it’s “computing” is more precise because “thinking” applies to meatbags. It’s emulating thinking. Really I just think that anthropomorphizing LLMs is a dangerous road in many ways and really it’s…
What’s wrong with this from your perspective? IMO it’s too little too late and should have been a federal law years ago. Don’t get me wrong - Newsom is a slippery snake politician and is beholden to rich scumbag donors…
I’d guess that it’s because React came around and it was from Facebook so it got a lot of adoption? Maybe there’s some other reason, the comment you responded to seems to imply something anyway
