Doesn’t mean we have to eat people or murdering animals. A rare person beats himself up for eating salad, but I promise you majority of people around you have various reservations about murdering and hurting animals and people. Growing up in some cultures and being fed abstract clean pieces of flesh just allows people to compartmentalize.

>Doesn’t mean we have to eat people

If people didn't want to get ate why did they make themselves taste so good?


We got? We didn’t get anything last time I checked, we are offered to pay rent to access this intelligence, at a discount

We have free plans and open-weight models you can host yourself, or pay someone for hosting, or host yourself and sell others to recoup the costs.

All of these lag SOTA by ~6 months on average, so yes, indeed, the thing you could only pay for half a year ago, is now free for entire world forever, and it only keeps getting better with time.


Why does everyone ignore open-weight models in these discussions?

I’m occasional lwn reader and I had no idea there are subscriptions there!


They lock down new articles for about a week I think, so subscribers get the first one, though if you're a subscriber I think they let you SHARE the article with others, so here on HN sometimes a brand new article will be shared by a subscriber with a code so anyone without a subscription can see it.


Why not? It’s the same as everywhere else, it has men. Just knowing that places like Kiwi Farms exists is enough evidence of good number of garbage people


Really depends if company has some spyware installed. My work MacBook was just given me as plain new MacBook that I installed everything myself. Personal iCloud, work OneDrive, no corporate spyware


I have worked in 3 companies and none of them had installed anything on the work laptop. One IT department tried to, but I ignored all their messages. I would probably be pissed if I have to give up the right to work with privacy.

I had formatted the laptop both while getting it and returning it. I had filevault on and I wouldn't have shared my password.


Modern MDM solutions use Apple Business Manager to automatically deploy the MDM after a system wipe. If you have a company owned Apple device, and the company has it enrolled in ABM, then you can wipe and filevault all you want, but the agent will still be reinstalled, and the file vault key escrowed.


Yeah I know. It's not like Apple is trying to hide it or most companies try to hide spyware, and I know how to check for Apple business manager or spywares.


It’s always good at the beginning. What happens when you leave? Is the laptop yours? Theirs? Is this documented?


Removing copyright will benefit parasites and big players more than small artists and businesses. Big businesses won’t have to eg obtain any licensing to publish someone else’s novel or technical book.


What incentive would they have when their customer also has the same option and will do it directly?


Do what? Customer searching for a physical book will do print-on-demand or what do you mean? Most customers will go with a cheap and convenient option


A free ebook download. What is cheaper and more convenient.


This reads like a very good dramatic catastrophy movie. This is very alarming.


It is alarming, but what's truly insane is that every single year something huge now burns on the West Coast: 2018 Mendocino, 2020 August Complex and Creek Fire, 2021 Dixie Fire and Bootleg Fire, there are countless more - Domino, Dulce, Timber, Twin Big Sur, Dillon. Don't even try to collect the comprehensive list of them - you'll have nightmares. West of the States is actively burning, East is drowning in hurricanes, the middle is in drought, mega tornadoes and golf-ball-sized hailstorms. We are all in "Don't look up", but worse - at least, in the movie people died instantly. For us, it's going to be suffering for many years, and it's gonna progressively get worse. What just happened in Nepal is not an isolated incident. AMOC is slowing down and our weather becoming volatile, chaotic and extreme and we're not only not doing enough - often we don't even want to talk about it at all.


I imagine huge fake monoculture forests are partially to blame, besides climate change


How much water usually cost in dryer regions of USA?


Trees don’t grow otherwise in that area? Like if you would stop watering, will they die? Future proof solution could be selling and buying somewhere where climate change won’t hit as hard, eg north, but I guess not everyone can afford that, and cooler regions may not offer sufficient sustenance or infrastructure like schools and jobs.


Better solution would be migration and building and expanding cities. I have huge doubts current systems will be able to or even consider to tackle catastrophic problems that are 10-20-30 years ahead, huge public investments, forcing capital to share too, drain dry all the oil biz. Instead it will be free for all


But what will be the safe places people could migrate to? I'm not sure we can really predict this, especially since the least affected locations are going to be the ones everybody will be interested in. And given the ramping-up xenophobia I can't imagine climate refugees suddenly being welcomed with open arms...


This can be read rather directly from the UN's prediction maps. But essentially: anything northeast-US will be fine, anything Paris and north from there will be fine, in fact, probably better than today.

The big problem starting in the South Of France, or in the US south, especially Nevada and Arizona. Intolerable temperatures a few weeks every year, not a constant problem.

Note: the general consensus is that the 2026-2036 period will see little if any warming (meaning currently El Nino is pushing hard, but that will stop, and then it'll be dragging the temperature down for a while, which won't cause a drop, but will keep things more-or-less constant). So you have time to decide.

Don’t be mistaken, climate refugees will be white as well
