"I identify as a nerd and think I'm virtuous, therefore other people who identify as nerds should be virtuous in order to validate me"

Yeah maybe it’s just me, but the whole idea of “identifying as a nerd” seems so silly, something out of a bad high school movie.

Can’t we just be adults interested in different topics and hobbies?


Facebook stopped being good when they took away the order by most recent option IMO.

No access to a network that's safe? Do you have a zero day on SSL we should know about?

That's OK in menus and the OS in general but if you're working on a web app or big form tabbing through it can be a PITA.

Let me introduce you to https://tridactyl.xyz

If you have a big form to fill in, surely its going to take longer to type in the coordinates of each text box and get the mouse to click them rather than just hitting tab to select the next input element?

I'm having a Seal delivered next week, really looking forward to it. My friend went from a M3 to a Seal. She does a lot of miles. She says they trade blows, there's things that felt better in the Tesla and things she prefers in the BYD.


It seems there's suspiciously little context available, yet here I also am commenting on a 'vaguepost'. I wonder if one day AI will be able to filter out vagueposts from my browser along with ragebait and curiosity gap headlines.


If AI does that it’ll make us 10x readers


Indeed, however:

    10 x 0.1 = 1


Bold of you to assume my reading ability is that high.


that depends on floating width. might also end up being a NaN.


I wonder if one day AI will be able to filter out advertisements from my browser.


Idk now that there are bunch of comments on the thread it’s vastly more interesting.


It's deliberately written that way, by lawyers who are making sure they (Adafruit) won't accidentaly admit to something they didn't.


It's not a direct threat but it is a passive one, it's also swearing and a contentious statement in a confined space where everyone needs to get along for the next N hours. They know damn well what the issue is but they're going to put their hands up and claim they're just expressing an opinion and they're not hurting anyone. It's childish behavior imo.


The issue is censorship of opposition to genocide. True unambigous political censorship


There are numerous spaces and opportunities for you to express your opinions. In fact almost anywhere else (in the US anyway)


Except that this exact thing is the exact thing being censored everywhere around US.

Second, you know full well such name is not a threat, neither passive no active. The reason for that being not allowed is not a threat or abundance of other options. It has nothing to do with any of that. It is just a continuation of the above strategy.


I don't think it's productive to single out a specific company that's in this area. If they closed someone else would do it. If they don't execute well someone else will. It's the same mentality as people who smashed up looms to keep people employed at spinning wheels.


I’m not saying they should stop building things (I doubt any argument in that direction would land anyway). But more that they should follow through on the whole picture of the future they’re working on. Anthropic’s brand leans a lot more on trying to be the good guys than other big labs, which is why I think they’re worth addressing in particular.


I hate getting AI generated emails from people. They probably haven't even read or understood the slop they're sending me, the chances of them understanding and contextualizing what I reply are slim, I might as well reply with AI slop. What's the point of any of this.

Maybe I can increase the weights on slop in my spam filter.


Yup. Let's see Kiras LinkedIN.
