  It’s really simply. Would you rather sort through trash to get second hand materials for your product that you can’t even use for things like food packaging, or buy the clean plastic that is a byproduct from oil refining that they have so much of they pay you to take away from them?

  I don’t like how the pairs $(h, h^‘)$ are implicitly the same as $(h^’, h)$. I think the post confuses the pairs with small sets. Normally, order matters in a pair.

  It’s actually not that bad, and I say that as a zoomer myself. Debian for example has mailing lists for many topics, where discussion happens. Then again they also use IRC for short messages.

  I still prefer web based bug tracking systems, though.

  Forgejo is cool but I’ve been waiting for federation for years now.

  I guess mailing lists and something like the debian BTS is the old fashioned way, but agree that it has fallen out of time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I would write something extensive, but I don't wanna end up writing incoherent stuff, especially since I sometimes rely on AI to write stories for me. What should I do?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a somewhat similar project. I don’t think “don’t use LLMs” is particularly helpful.

  My project is a never ending story with spinoffs that I never want to show anyone, but enjoy reading. At first, I used an LLM to make it with prompts of increasing complexity and results that we’re usually soulless and imperfect.

  The thing to understand is in my opinion, that you’re using an actual machine ghostwriter. The machine doesn’t share your thoughts and vision, which can be helpful but is often detrimental to quality.

  A few months ago, while writing a particularly complex chapter, it completely stopped being “good enough”, so I made the decision to write the stuff myself. But the problem: I am an awful author because I didn’t actually learn so much since I didn’t write it myself.

  Now, my current approach is to write it myself (with my progress being much slower but of much higher quality and with much better quality control).

  The machine ghostwriter is useful when it comes to brainstorming, proof reading and suggestions for rewording, I think. It has things in it’s context that I simply don’t know and that I don’t even know I don’t know, and it comes up with okay ideas and sometimes good rephrasing.

  Of course, just accepting ai suggestions would lower quality, but if you’re picky it could work well.

  Let me know what you think, also anti ai absolutists let me know what you think. Contrary to how this might sound, I’m not particularly fond of LLMs, but it’s helpful to get some feedback and ideas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's a matter of motivation⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Capitalism is different from a regular market in that it is not just trying to make a profit in order to have enough money to exchange for useful goods and services.

  Capitalism demands that your profit grows and grows and grows. It’s growth for it’s own sake. A capitalistic economy like our world economy needs to grow 3% or so every year or it gets into a recession. 3% doesn’t sound like much, but it’s exponential growth, doubling every 25 years or so. This growth doesn’t come out of thin air, but from extracting from value from other people, our world and so on.

  And measuring an economy by GDP is incomplete, because it doesn’t take uncompensated labor, human happiness and wellbeing, and public goods (like a healthy nature) into account. When a factory owner pollutes and dries up the river while employees have no choice but to work 16 hour weeks, GDP goes up.

  In nature, things grow until they are mature. That does not mean progress halts. Adults don’t grow anymore, but continue to learn.

  My try to explain why money and markets are okay, but growth for it’s own sake (growthism you may call it) is destroying our societies, making us unhappy, and is also killing us with the climate and biodiversity crises.

  I’m in infosec. At some point you have to stop questioning things to remain a functioning member of society. All the computers, huge or tiny component are technically attack surface.

  But the really scary shit is actually vehicles without a driver in them.

  They can just call it American Football like everyone already does.

  NAFL or whatever, if you really need an acronym. No one calls the Bundesliga BL.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. Community bindings do exist and are used over the official bindings already, and I think the source code obfuscation is just an annoyance by now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That would be good though. Better the communities finds them and they can be patched than when only some black hats know them.

  Disagree. Exploring the world of botw was fun, combat is fun, cooking is cool.
