I’d support a voluntary death penalty, as a practical solution for both society and the criminal. If the person does not want to live anymore, for whatever reason, give them a way out of this life.

I strongly doubt free will is as free as we’d like to believe, so in all fairness we should focus on minimizing suffering for everybody. Guilt should just be a technicality of who triggered a crime, like cause and effect.

That’s true, although I believe you still have to give permission to an app to use this (at least on Android). Not to say that people won’t accept things way too fast.

Thanks for correcting me, you are right about the image scanning. Added an edit to my statement.

It depends on if you trust Meta. Generally speaking there is end-to-end encryption in WhatsApp, which means only you and the person you chat with can decrypt your messages / media (source). I believe there are some weak spots in group chats, mostly caused by users themselves. Not sure about the new Community function but I’d be careful with what I share there.

Some parties like Apple have decided to scan photos from your device for illegal material (edit: after backlash they dropped this for now, my bad). If using an app like WhatsApp I’d personally be aware that something like that might happen in the future as well. I’d not be surprised if some employees might (temporarily) be able to access more data than widely assumed, for debugging reasons in case of bugs.

Personally I take the risk for pragmatic reasons, but it doesn’t hurt to be a bit cautious / aware.

Plain copy paste without a critical view is not recommended, but it surely provides good pieces of code from time to time. Especially in obscure frameworks/languages, compared to what can be googled.

ChatGPT 4 is a really big difference with 3.5 though. What took me hours together with the 3.5, was fixed in a few minutes with 4.

Hasn’t it just lost its context and somewhat “forgotten” what the intentions of the prompt were?

I read this as “two guys and a girl get it on”. I thought he was trying to ignore a threesome in a public elevator, while they were trying to make him greet them. Was wondering why he even entered in the first place.

I need some more sleep.

Well, it depends on your bubble I guess. But personally I’d say it’s underrated and overrated at the same time, but mostly underrated.

It depends on your expectations and way of usage in your toolbox I’d say. It keeps surprising me weekly how fast progress is. But we get used to it perhaps.

Are you talking about North- and East-India?

Nutsack and CaptainVaqina calling each other pussy.

If for example a client application is (accidentally) firing doubled requests to your API, you might get deadlocks in this case. Which is not bad per se, as you don’t want to conform to that behaviour. But it might also happen if you have two client applications with updates to the same resource (patching different fields for example), in that case you’re blocking one party so a retry mechanism in the client or server side might be a solution.

Just something we noticed a while ago when using transactions.

Interesting, I work with both at my job and my main take is:

• CLI of Mac is superior to me and least confusing, plus has it’s whole CLI experience working correctly for a long time, but Windows did a bit of a catch-up (still not on par IMO and too many ways of working)

• The GUI settings are more advanced on Windows, but the new/old interface are a cluster fuck; I don’t trust the interaction between them

• Windows has more compatibility options with hardware/software, if you dig deep enough you can make things work most of the times

• The general MacOS experience (from starting your computer, opening apps, using the CLI) performs better, Windows feels a bit more sluggish/bloated to me

I do like the steps that Microsoft takes with things like Visual Studio Code and .NET of aiming cross-platform. I have in no way any hatred for Microsoft and I think both operating systems have their pros and cons. They are both fine to work with.

But milk is (slightly) acidic, isn’t that a product to avoid as well before brushing?

SUCH A SWEET STORY

Last thing I heard at least ChatGPT 4 was said to be better, but that was a while ago (in terms of AI chatbot timelines). Do you perhaps have a source for the 10x better part?

They eat bones occasionally to aid digestion or induce vomiting to clear their stomachs of indigestible material.

This information may or may not be false.

This one is also pretty cool, couple of years ago. It was the first time I heard they had incorporated touch, but looks awesome.

Windows 7 truly was a blessing; fresh new update and performant, but before the double interface hell and advanced taskbar shit with intrusive ads implemented.

At least that’s how I remember it.

Good solution, perhaps two simple options at browser install: Default / Custom. That way you don’t have to uninstall all the stuff at the end.

Thank you for your patience with me. I think I understand you better now, as I sense you might have added some additional perspectives to my views. I’ll let it simmer in my mind a bit. Thanks again.
