I get that slashvertisements have to exist to keep this place afloat, but "The glasses are available to order today" is such a massive fuck you. That's not what available means. The ordering website is available. The glasses are not. Advertisers are all gaslighters.

Agreed. If you don't know what you're doing it's hard to even ask for the right thing or know what's possible. For example: I'm currently developing a system that uses a local AI to help debug internal issues. The initial incarnations of it were very slow to start up each command; clearly, it wasn't doing proper KV caching and was having to prefill every turn; it required patches on the llama.cpp fork and our API wrapper, and also adjusting the system prompt to keep variable content at the end. But if you have no idea about KV caching issues, how do you even know something is wrong with the backend, let alone what to tell the AI to fix? You'll end up deciding you need to upgrade the GPU instead.

(That said: "lovingly handcrafted" code is a hilarious phrase that should give any developer who's ever worked on a big corporate software project the giggles, and also, these software devs are clearly people angry at knowing they're going to be let go looking for revenge by badmouthing their boss to the press)

I'm sure Israel would have preferred to not have Oct 7 happen. But they weren't given that option.

Yes, they were. All they had to do was not have Netanyahu as president making sure October 7th happened. Or barring that, maybe not be doing illegal settlements and having soldiers support those illegal settlers for literally their whole existence. The same clown fucks who rant about illegal immigration in the USA love it in Gaza.

Internet censorship won't restart the engines. That doesn't mean they won't keep trying anyway.

They've been interested in censoring it ever since they became aware of it. It's truly remarkable how the CDA backfired so beautifully. It's somewhat stupefying how many people who ought to know better (as in, they wouldn't even be allowed to opine further about it) would like to undo that!

Netanyahu voted for Hamas. He bragged repeatedly about making sure they got funded as part of his strategy on Gaza. He is far more culpable than any other single person for the attacks that people like to claim led to this genocide, ignoring that Hamas was founded in response to an Israeli settler doing a massacre in a mosque.

IME the very best information can't even be found in fora, it's on private mailing lists.

Back when I had a Nissan 240SX I was on such a list called the 240-list which was at least twice as good as any forum.

The public is just too problematic for people who actually know and do things.
