For 40 years left wingers have in no particular order:

1. Threatened me and my family for having the wrong political opinion and ethnic background up to and including calling the house phone and threatening to shoot and rape(!) us.

2. Claimed that my relatives who ended up in the Soviet Gulag must have deserved it, because imprisonment by default implies guilt.

3. Happily implemented surveillance networks on everybody "for their own good" when they were anywhere near power.

4. Have repeatedly told me that I am a stupid immigrant and that I should do exactly as they say because I'm too stupid to understand things for myself.

5. Have simultaneously held the positions that all of the above was "justified trolling/just joshing man" and "words are violence" depending on when it suited them.

Behold, the field in which I grow my fucks. Lay thine eyes upon it and see that it is barren.

Mexico Solidarity Media is primarily funded by Liberation Road, a Marxist-Leninist organization that openly supported the Tiananmen Square massacare and has been previously raided by the FBI for possible terrorist links.

Why is this on HN?

Seems a stretch to go from that to hacking rubygems don't you think?

I don't believe anthropic or openai are doing anything similar to get their "hack a website" results. The fact that they are prompting dangerous prompts in non-airgapped environments is evidence of at minimum negligence, if not malicious intent on the behalf of those companies.

Show me any system without an initial prompt or goal set.

They're usually sold as Sharp in the states, but the model numbers are the same, etc. As an old fogey of a nerd it's neat to have a NEC-branded remote/screen when I sit down to watch a movie.

Except in the article that is literally parent of this discussion thread? Did you even RTFA?

MultiSync P495, with the additional daughter card for the RPI CM4.

As far as regular TV duties, the CM4 running libreELEC does everything I need and then some. The HDMI-CEC was flaky at one point, but from my research on it regular consumer TVs suffer from the same problem. If anything I'm more limited by the CM4's output, less the display itself.

Tradeoffs: I wanted to control my stack with minimal cabling pretty much everything else be damned, and this was a nice integrated solution and a excellent alternative to just buying a 43" dell monitor to hang on my wall. There are probably some image processing "features" that videophiles can comment on, but I've been used to literal decades of LCDs at this point, so an IPS display is going to be just fine(tm). Display lag is a bit higher than I would like for retro video games on it, but that's more an overall LCD problem, less a specific display issue.

In functionality it's much closer to a computer monitor than it is to a TV. The menus are obtuse, brutalist even, but if you ever had to work in IT and set up a conference room display you will feel right at home.

It's also a heavy pig compared to consumer televisions, right on the edge of what my mount is able to hold, and not really great to wrangle in a position by your lonesome, but not impossible either.

As for video: It's more than fine. Maybe the pixels are bigger than my macbook's screen, but at 6+ft viewing distance with my eyesight, I can't tell.

But I was reliably informed this never happens! (Reasons I own an NEC commercial display instead)

And people were yapping away on their phones while driving and crashing into trees.

I remember it too. It wasn't that rosy.
