It's ridiculous to me that we're back in the world of "politician blames bad thing on wokeness" > "everyone has to spend months discussing this as if it's a sane idea."


It's ridiculous to me that a journalist can provide clear evidence that dei initiatives were used to discriminate against people and you can dismiss it by calling it wokeness.


> I don't see why privacy matters, I have nothing to hide

Anyone who says this should then be just fine with putting a webcam in their shower.


Or permanent character in a truman show, without any compensation for it.


I know a corrupt real estate developer who would probably love to sell him a property at 500% of the market rate.


100% ditto for me. It's the interface for my external brain. The file search and global search are exactly what I need, and the multi-cursor editing, etc. are fantastic.

I always have my IDE up on one monitor and Sublime on the other.


Do you mostly use your file explorer to see the list of files? Or do you use any plugins to sort and view your files?


> ...to make sure workers have good working conditions and proper pay. That's universal to any job.

This is wildly untrue. The less skilled your labor, the more exploitative the available jobs are. This is why we have labor regulations, to protect these people.


Why did you leave all the important parts out of the quote?

I already noted that there are agencies that handle labor regulations. You left that out.

This committee had nothing to do with labor regulations...


Imagine complaining that an LLM is hallucinating, because it's not accurately hallucinating your delusion.


> To put a bullshit machine on the internet, in the name of Christ, is reckless

So the problem here is an LLM hallucinating... about a completely made-up, delusional story that people happen to take really personally.

This is like complaining that an LLM producing Harry Potter fanfic doesn't produce canon.


HN is not intentionally engineered to be as addictive as possible now, is it?


No one forces you to smoke cigarettes, but claiming that it's purely a decision ignores a major confounder: they are addictive. Social media is the product of thousands of A/B tests to arrive at the most engaging (addictive) platform possible.


"Infinite scroll" apps are harvesting your attention for ad revenue. That's what they are designed to do.


Absolutely. Also TV, newspapers, radio, streaming services, billboards, gas pumps, professional sports, etc.
