Lovely!

I want this as an app on my TV (TizenOS), where a different bird gets highlighted every 1-2 minues, and if I click OK on my remote I feed it.

No other features. Just that.

The og article talks about future concerns even though things are fine today. This article claims things are fine today.

True, but doesn’t actually refute the original.

Isn’t that half the point of companies? To be accountability sinks? To vanish accountability like a magic trick?

Stats be damned irrelevant. The naming is good with this one!

Amazing how it's offensive to everyone involved. Both to be replaced and to be represented by an AI rendition.

I'd say the reason for this is that PDFs are not viral like images or videos. I don't think any of the technical arguments are strong enough.

If you want to forge a PDF, you do it because you have a private target in mind. Financial fraud, corporate espionage... There are other settings but people don't just share PDFs around for you to see a deluge of fake ones.

Yes, those 2 are the same. But our KGB is saying “the microphone in your house is spying on you, it’s not us, the microphone broke containment”.

There's no such thing as "OpenAI agents" attacked RubyGems. It's someone used agents to attack RubyGems. If they work at OpenAI then it's someone at OpenAI. And if they did it unintentionally, they still did it.

Analogy: if a someone's involved when a person dies, it's manslaughter or murder based on intent. They're different, but they're both crimes.

The problem is not the LLM writing. The problem is the ragebait title which is unsubstantiated, because of part 2. And they know that because they published it in two parts.

This is basically how you write fake news. And you only publish like this for extra clicks.

The real issue here is there's a part 2 (linked at the end of the article) where they get the io_uring implementation to be twice as fast as mmap. So it's a clickbait title for a part 1, which gets resolved in part 2.

So they crunched out 2 articles, one of which is just ragebait. And they both seem LLM written. Maybe they have some cool advice, maybe not... but it's not a format I enjoy reading.

The real issue is local business know about google maps and are often happy to update schedules themselves. The effort for them to know/care about OSM is too high and the payoff low (most clients are on google maps).

> subsidized by the carrier

You misspelled “you’re overcharged for your mobile subscription and get a phone”.

Hear me out. What if copyright could only be claimed by the creator/artist OR public domain. Make it non-transferable. Force big media corps license music from artists instead of owning it outright. Push negotiating power to the artist away from the organization. Avoid "Taylor Swift re-recorded all her music to own it" and similar stuff in the future.

> But most people aren’t willing to deal with the learning curve of keyboard-driven GUIs.

Keyboard shortcuts should be an _optional_ way to interact for accessibility and power users! They should never be required!

This is what TUIs get wrong, they make it the required way to navigate and often don’t even let you use the mouse.
