But it makes me think of it is as at type of recreational drug use. And that moral quandary of quantifying when drug use is transgressive and when it is not when the goal is chemically altered happiness.

I think this is a good point. For many people who take it, the goal is not to address a physical health concern (those people can address it through exercise which they still need while taking these medications), but to make themselves happy by making it easier to lose weight that they believe is excess.

Now I’m of the opinion that their self-image being so negative is more of a mental health problem (and I’m specifically not referring to people who are extremely obese, diabetic, etc here), but regardless, it’s not my place to prescribe them a treatment for their own issues. If these medications make them happy, then whatever.

The issue we have today is an issue of scarcity. Ozempic is expensive as fuck and isn’t accessible to the people who need it. For example, my sister in law is morbidly obese and has physical and genetic disorders that lead to a drug like this being lifesaving to her. She can’t really afford it even with insurance, but it’s not really a choice.

One thing to keep in mind though is side effects. These drugs aren’t all sunshine and rainbows. There are risks associated with them. For people who need them, the benefits usually outweigh the risks, but for “recreational” use, those risks should naturally be taken into consideration by whoever’s taking the drug.

why haven’t you bragged about using Arch yet?

Well Manjaro is Arch-based, but it feels like cheating to say that. Anyway, I used Manjaro, btw.

You don’t need to keep going back to reference the Fuhrer’s state of mind at different times throughout your life.

Considering he lives in the US, the Führer’s state of mind has a pretty significant impact on his life right now. I’d reference it myself now and then if I owned a copy just to prepare for what’s coming next.

Hey even I use Linux daily.

Actually, I’m not really sure why “even I” should be shocking. I write code for a living. Surely I should be using Linux once in a while.

Anyway RHEL is probably the only Linux distro I can think of that costs money and comes with support. The major cloud providers sometimes have their own Linux distros they use as well (looking at you, Amazon) and you can argue they are selling Linux, but not as directly as RHEL does.

Red Hat.

The other distros? No idea.

Not sure what you mean. Everything “holy” has ended in war, whether we’re talking about anything from Crusades to Mexico’s colonization and conversion to the current war between Iran and Israel. It’s in the name, anyway: it can’t be “holy” unless you’re leaving holes in the ground where people used to be.

There’s of course a subset of people who use religion to better themselves. I feel bad for those people. They really don’t deserve their religions being used time and time again to justify war and mass murder.

leading Florida International University Turning Point USA chapter president Ian Valdes to reply that he “would def not marry a Jew.”

“TPUSA Chapter President is an antisemitic shithead” isn’t even remotely close to newsworthy, but if some left-leaning org president stepped on a fly? Shit would be international news.

I guess it’s a matter of shock factor? Nobody’s really shocked that TPUSA is full of terrible people.

It also affects subjects like atheism, as the various religious cultures generally do not want people contemplating the idea that there isn’t a god, especially not while they’re young, they want you long indoctrinated into belief before you can explore different ideas.

This reminds me of a Pakistani person I don’t personally know, but someone I know talks to them.

In their hometown, people recite verses from the Quran as part of their religious activities. There’s only one problem: the Quran they use is written in Arabic, but everyone there speaks Urdu. People don’t actually know what the passages say, just how to say them.

So this person asked them once what the passages say. Why do we read the passages in Arabic instead of Urdu? People here don’t know Arabic.

Anyway, he got belted shortly after that.

It looks like this was briefly touched in the article, but LLMs don’t learn shit.

If I tell you your use of a list is dumb and using a set changes the code from O(n) to O(1) and cuts out 15 lines of code, you probably won’t use a list next time. You might even look into using a deque or heap.

If your code was written by a LLM? You’ll “fix” it this time (by telling your LLM to do it) and then you’ll do it again next time.

I’m sorry, but in the latter case, not only are you mentally handicapping yourself, but you’re actively making the project worse in the long term, and you’ve got me sending out resumes because, and I mean this in the politest way possible, but go fuck yourself for wasting my time with that review.

So surely this means prison time and fines, right?

For OP:

As said in this comment, order doesn’t matter. They can be applied in any order you want.

Now for pedantry, since this relates to rules:

Starting with terminology, replacement effects don’t “trigger” ever. They are continuous effects, so they apply whenever the event they replace occurs.

Second, for replacement effects in general, “the player who controls the action that triggered them” is not the one who decides the order that replacement effects are applied in.

616.1. If two or more replacement and/or prevention effects are attempting to modify the way an event affects an object or player, the affected object’s controller (or its owner if it has no controller) or the affected player chooses one to apply, following the steps listed below. If two or more players have to make these choices at the same time, choices are made in APNAP order (see rule 101.4).

(Emphasis mine of course, also see 616.1a-g)

Take Justice Strike, for example. If someone played this against one of OP’s wizards (and Collective Inferno had “Wizard” chosen for it), OP would choose the replacement order despite the opponent being the one who cast Justice Strike. Not that the order matters here, of course, but if it were Jaya, Venerated Firemage and Collective Inferno, then order would matter since one order does 2n + 1 damage while the other does 2(n + 1) instead.

This contradicts, unsurprisingly, Trump telling Anthropic to go fuck itself and the subsequent deal with OpenAI.

In any case, my comment was being made in jest because Trump’s admin is no stranger to violating policies, procedures, laws, and human rights.

the Trump regime can use Claude to decide which schoolchildren to bomb

Not true in the slightest. Trump can’t use Claude to decide which schoolchildren he can bomb.

He can use ChatGPT to decide which schoolchildren he can bomb.

(Anthropic was taken out back for saying they only wanted to identify which schoolchildren are there and not tell them which ones to bomb.)

“Small amount” is relative here. Not everybody needs to play Battlefield 6.

For just programming, 8GB is way more than enough. Even my old work laptop had only 8GB and the issues didn’t show up until I had multiple Office products + Teams + a browser open, not from any of my dev software.

Couldn’t agree more here, 1k dependencies would take a while to build even on my 9950x3d if only due to linking.

It seems to me like the the issue is the project is either too bloated, or large enough to justify a workstation build. Breaking it into smaller, independent parts would also help here.

Windows has supported Xbox controllers for many years now, and even decades ago I was playing games off a floppy disk using a gamepad.

The optimizations were worthless because Windows is the problem and focusing on gaming won’t solve the underlying issues with the OS or the high-level issues with its direction.

While you’re correct, we’re not the ones who need to be informed/convinced. The ones who do likely don’t care either and will blame Jews anyway.

8GB RAM isn’t a small amount (though by no means a lot). As far as RAM usage goes, the amount you need will scale with project+dependencies size, so for smaller projects, it shouldn’t be a problem at all.

8GB RAM doesn’t tell us about the rest of your system though. What CPU do you have? Is your storage slow? Performance is affected by a lot of factors. A slow CPU will naturally run programs slower, fewer hardware threads means less running in parallel, and slower storage means that reading incremental build data and writing it could be a bottleneck.

Right now it’s no big deal to any AI company because more code means more training for the AI, but will we get to the point that they’re happy with code output enough and then turn around claiming they own those?

At least in the US:

The vast majority of commenters agreed that existing law is adequate in this area and that material generated wholly by AI is not copyrightable.

So it seems unlikely that they would be able to claim any ownership.

As for the rest of your comment (the parts around ownership): you always own the copyright for any copyrightable work you create, including code. When you post on a website, according to the ToS of that site, you’re licensing your comment/code/whatever to the website (you need to for them to be able to publish your work on their website).

Some (many, most depending on what you use) websites overlicense your work and use it for other purposes as well (like GitHub), but in the US the judges have basically ruled that AI companies can pirate whatever works they want without any attempt to license them and still be fine, so the “overlicense” bit is more of a formality at this point anyway.

I’m more referring to Jeb because he did run for president, and it would make for a third Bush in office (H.W., his first son W., and his second son Jeb).

But yes, the succession line for Trump and his faction is different.
