100 percent agree. These politicians are trying to explain how dangerous TikTok is to our children while allowing general citizenry to own AR-15s. The hypocrisy is unreal.


The next question is, what lobby is more powerful: the gun lobby or the social media lobby?


ive been using puppeteer to query and read responses from deepseek.com, it works really well but i have to use a stealth mode and "headed" version to make it think its a person


Java is usually shockingly inefficient.


Unless the "other peoples code" actually turns out to be yours that you wrote years ago, and forgot about :D


git blame is the best teacher of humility.


There is an enormous fear from mainstream media of AI, but the thing that excites me the most about this is in health care. AI will find the cure to Alzeimers and countless other diseases, there's no doubt about it. This simple fact is enough to make it acceptable.


Seems like this is a common complaint from folks trying to write code purely with ChatGPT / Deepseek by communicating in complete sentences. You can only get so far using these tools before you need a proper understanding of whats happening with the code.


I think this is an accurate point. I would also add preservatives. Companies have an incentive to increase shelf-life, so they pump these products full of them, despite their effects on health.


What evidence is there of preservatives having detrimental effects on humans (in the doses we actually receive)?


Preservatives achieve their intended function by broadly destroying and preventing the growth of microbes, which are an integral part of our digestive system. So I would flip the question: what evidence is there that preservatives don't damage a healthy human microbiome?

Here is a review of some of the research. It seems to still be an open question because of the many variables involved: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9864936/


Samsung make trackers? Are you referring to tile?



Why would he be referring to Tile when he said Samsung? Samsung has nothing to do with Tile.


> Samsung make trackers?

Yes.

> Are you referring to tile?

No.


Odd that you're examples have nothing to do with firmware.


Firmware makes it possible to make use of hardware you physically own.

Client software makes it possible to use services you pay for, operating systems make it possible to use applications.

It's difficult to come up with a more straightforward analogy - I don't even want to try cars, these are rapidly becoming a much bigger issue than firmware.


The man is so egotistical that every penny he loses hurts him a lot. Losing this amount of money will bother him massively.


I don't follow Musk's personality foibles closely at all, but from what I have seen, I get the sense that profit is not one of the things he ties closely to his aggrandized self-image. Wealth, yes, but only in the sense that it is for spending to do great things, even if the profit isn't there, like "protecting freedom of speech" (there aren't enough quotation marks in the universe). I.e. Tony Stark, not Gordon Gekko.


Another name to throw out there when discussing time in the limelight versus numbers going up: Larry Ellison.
