Uh, I think some good old fashioned ones could do the trick: “sheeple”, “dumbass”, etc.

It is trivial to find things that are apolitical. Enjoying a beautiful flower or sunset for instance. You might argue they have little import, but they are nonetheless examples of aspects of life free from politics.

Edit: Of course, if you are driven you can layer politics on anything. But the political interpretation is a layer, not the actual underlying thing.

Once, on a flight back from China I happened to sit next to an old Chinese man watching a serial drama show set about 150?? years ago in China. It was the best in flight entertainment I’ve ever had. He noticed me watching and offered an earbud. Tho my enjoyment was probably amplified by not really knowing what was going on.

Etch it in the top layer of copper, cover it with soldermask. A bit harder to see, but harder to tamper.

Actually, there are material differences in the practical outcomes of using AI or not. Proofs don’t confer understanding. AI prose and “art” is materially different than human made.

There is a difference between you not liking something and it being wrong. Maybe think about that with your grey matter.

Agreed. If I’m spending my precious time reading something thing, I want the author to have invested their personal effort to write it.

Heck with perpetual September, we’re entering perpetual mid-2020’s

What even is the point of posting something like this? No serious person is going to be impressed. Assuming a human was involved they must be deep in AI induced psychosis.

Man, HN used to have some really good stuff. Now it’s mostly AI slop.

The wrench thing is real. My approach to a DIY mechanic’s stethoscope is to stick the handle of a screwdriver against my ear and the tip on whatever I want to listen to. Great for figuring out what part of the machine a noise is coming from.

I have seen this in person, it really is remarkable how the artist used the natural color gradient in the stone. The entire museum is well worth a visit.

How about instead of sewing FUD and justifying one evil by pointing at others, we actually gave a damn about the world we’re creating.

People act like doing things that are good for the environment is inherently lacking in economic value. My Dad’s environmental consulting business put me through college, while doing good things for the environment and people, and that is really small scale stuff. And his primary customer was a bank wishing to avoid lending on contaminated sites.

There could absolutely be massive money to be made in doing good things for the environment, it is the people making money doing bad things for the environment who do their damndest to keep grasp on the wheel and subvert any attempt to make doing good things for the environment economically advantageous.

These people are virtually selling their children’s future for a few extra bucks today. The earth is going to be around for a long time yet. We should care about our children, grandchildren and so on.

Congrats! Being overwhelmed with tomatoes and cucumbers sounds like a great opportunity to can tomatoes and pickle cucumbers.

The scale of a cloud datacenter is pretty awesome to witness. I had the opportunity to visit a large cloud company’s data center years ago, it was immense in scale and (mostly) very well thought out.

Ok, my bad. There’s nothing there that negative towards the article.

It just strikes me that this line of questioning blasting is often used to create uncertainty. My hostility to that came out here, when it was unfounded.
