>and also said that a 10x dev in now 1000x with a tool like this

Yeah, I'm sure you are doing ~4 years worth of work per day. Get real Jesus Christ.


People who are expert at assembly are still extremely valuable.

70 years after the peak of assembly, that value probably comes more from supply than demand.

But as a percentage, there are a lot fewer of us then there used to be.

There is no viable political party in the UK that is right-wing enough to be endorsed by Robinson. When the normie racist party (Reform) isn't racist enough so you have to go to the even more racist party (Restore) there might be an issue with your beliefs.

If you like his politics then good for you, no need to make things up about a country you don't understand.

Ok. And? This was not the statement I objected to. Just because there isn't a mainstream major party right of him, doesn't mean he's to the most right there is in the universe. Those are completely different things.


Who the fuck do you think is Prime Minister of the UK right now?

This predates the current one.

Less than 1% of the UK's population will care about, or even remember, this in 5 years.

100% of the time I would pick the UK police system over the US's.

Would you?

In the UK, they can't force you to speak, but not answering questions can be interpreted as evasion / "adverse interference".

They do not need a warrant to search your phone. Not providing them with a PIN can be a separate charge, with up to 2 years imprisonment.

They can hold you up to 36 hrs if the police decide so. Up to 14 days without charge under modern broad "anti terrorism" laws.


You're talking about UK laws rather than UK police.

Cool, now compare how many people die to police violence in the UK vs the US.

Also note the absence of large scale destructive anti-police riots in the UK over the past decade.


Looks like 1200 people in the last year. 1200 / 350e6 = 3.4 micromorts. By comparison, getting out of bed at age 45 is about 6 micromorts.

The UK have about 13,000 arrests per year over social media etc. Without litigating all 13,000 of them for validity, that's about 185 microliberties.

Birth control is about 1-5 micromorts.

So you're 30x more likely to be arrested for a social media post than death by getting out of bed, and 55x more than being killed by police. And it's in the same range as taking birth control.

Realistically, these are population estimates. Your actual risk of dying by police is highly correlated with the number of violent interactions you have with them. If you're a getaway driver or a bank robber vs SW developer, you probably have significantly different risk profiles.

On the other hand, edgy social media posts are potentially much more diffuse across populations.


>The UK have about 13,000 arrests per year over social media etc.

That's the figure (slightly inflated) for arrests under both the Malicious Communications Act 1988 and Communications Act 2003. That's not reasonably described as arrests for 'social media etc.' It's quite likely the the majority of those arrests have nothing to do with content that people post on social media.


There are fewer anti police riots in UK, because UK is much more effective at catching and prosecuting rioters than US. In US, rioters enjoy extreme leniency. Only a tiny fraction of 2020 rioters have faced any justice at all.

As for police killings, you are comparing an event that’s extremely unlikely to happen with an event that’s multiple orders of magnitude more likely. Speech offense prosecutions in UK are more common today than political prosecutions were in post Kruschev Soviet Union. The only reason UK has fewer political prisoners than Soviet Union had is that the sentences are shorter and typically non-custodial.


You might want to prompt ChatGPT to increase the frame rate of the fish animation.

You might want to prompt for some manners, and why humans have them.

Yeah, by pointing out flaws in slopware, one doesn't only show oneself as a boor, but also as a terrorist and foreign agent why tries to bury down the hopes of the humankind, err, it's 0.001% I mean.

weird comment.... this was vibe coded so yes it has terrible performance why wouldn't we want more fps?

Vibe coded doesn’t necessitate bad performance. As I’ve replied to others – during testing I didn’t get any lag across three different devices that I own, so I just didn’t have a chance to catch this before.

That’s not to say “it’s a you problem”, but rather that I currently don’t know under which circumstances the lag appears.


It's also bad manners to post slop.

There is a difference between negligence and intent. There is no good evidence that OpenAI's intent is to hack third parties.

Meta only cares about this video because it directly targets Meta. If this guy was asking questions to employees of any other company they would not give a shit.

Would only be an effective protest if you stole the glasses.

Why does the effectiveness of the protest be contingent on stealing the glasses?

I'd guess because buying the meta glasses to use them is in a way helping it succeed.
