Fun fact: all advertiser chat support agents at Meta used to (still might) have full super-read on FB. When you read "workers" in this headline, don't think "devs", think "legions of contracted-out T1 support staff"

It is worse:

> The workers in Kenya say that it feels uncomfortable to go to work. They tell us about deeply private video clips, which appear to come straight out of Western homes, from people who use the glasses in their everyday lives.


You can die under law, too.

Little known fact is that you can die over law too.

Human beings all and each have the agency to make this choice for themselves.

So individuals have a “duty … to sabotage their country when it becomes immoral” according to individually-defined standards of morality? That seems like an unworkable way to run any society with more than a few people.

In practice the opposite is true. There's not enough people willing to sabotage countries like 1933 Germany or Putin's Russia.

The problem with the difference between good and bad things is, of course, that one's perspective has an impact.

Americans generally think vandalism is wrong, but also that the Boston Tea Party was a good thing - yadda yadda yadda...


I don't understand how you inferred that from the post above you, given the zero mentions of immigration.

A lot of Republican supporters would have, and still might, insist that the US's current purge is focused on "criminals" despite the quota-driven shitfest it's become. People say a lot of things, and they rarely line up with policies in practice.

Pinhole cameras ain't for that

why not? secret camera is sometimes better than letting others know they are being filmed

For what benefit? A secret camera is not a deterrent as by definition it can only be used reactively.

This would be about as trivial as it'd be for YouTube to block yt-dlp.

This would imply that AI data centers are somehow separate, and not just a further increment to the wastefulness of human existence, which is obvious nonsense.

He really goes out of his way to seem like a hack - you'd think he could get some coaching from his synthetic buddy or whatever.


Depending on the transpiler and mode of operation, `var` is sometimes emitted.

For example, esbuild will emit var when targeting ESM, for performance and minification reasons. Because ESM has its own inherent scope barrier, this is fine, but it won't apply the same optimizations when targeting (e.g.) IIFE, because it's not fine in that context.
