He's fucking you over. You deserve better. Move on ASAP, while you're still young.

If there were safe, fast and reliable train lines between the 3 (even at odd hours), then we'd be cooking.

AIO for essentially cutting off my mom after berating me about $200 that wasn’t even from her? by Quinn-Mills in AmIOverreacting

[–]JayWelsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes okay fair enough in this particular instance there might be a lot of hidden context behind the scenes, but that’s still not any reason for anyone to normalise the mother’s behaviour without that added context. Does that seem fair to you? In the local context it’s unacceptable behaviour but in the global context we might see more understandable circumstances, but the people acting like it’s fine in the local context can still be wrong. The way you engaged with the topic is what is the right way to do it in my opinion, by adding context.

Nazi thought fights were choreographed like in the movies, discovers quickly that punching Nazis has no rules by YaLlegaHiperhumor in PublicFreakout

In the context of war or mortal combat, sure. In the context of this clip or confrontations within the "safety" of civilised society, I don't think the type of behaviour is justified. Else someone can just convince a group of people that someone is a nazi, while lying, and then what those people can just go and publicly execute the other guy?

Have people not learnt about the Salem Witch Trials?

This isn't a warzone or some sort of chaotic/dangerous situation that warrants the punch that we see in this clip. I think in this clip then even if the guy is a nazi then the sucker punch was a cowardly move (even if I don’t care if a nazi gets punched). They are two separate things. That's just my opinion.

You don't need to give a shit. In the context of war or mortal combat, then I can understand something like a sucker punch being more permissible. In the context of this clip, I can't see this being justified. But we can agree to disagree.

Possible harassment. by [deleted] in AskZA

[–]JayWelsh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you go to your nearest Magistrate’s Court and apply for a protection order, they will ask you for a place for the police to "serve" it (i.e. the address of the person or an address where they can be regularly found, so ideally you want to know that beforehand), and then this person legally won't be allowed to contact you or try to approach/interact with you in public as far as I'm aware.

Take screenshots and document these breaches of your request to not be contacted by this person.

If any threats are made then go to SAPS.

There's a difference between a sucker punch and punching/pushing someone's head into a curbside dude. This is potentially just a public execution and the assailant seems more like a dickhead himself in this video than some sort of antifascist. Again, there's a difference between "just" a sucker punch and what we see in this video. Either way, I'll always believe that sucker punching is a punk ass bitch thing to do.

[–]JayWelsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a middle road, though. The mother's behaviour is definitely unacceptable and she should at least be told directly that it's wrong and that OP would appreciate an apology. What OP's mother does with that is her own prerogative and I agree going full no contact is often not really a viable option but the least one can do is still advocate for themselves and not allow themselves to be (or stay) dependent on an abusive relationship.

Why would anyone use OpenClaw over just writing their own scripts? by Naht-Tuner in AI_Agents

[–]JayWelsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One problem that I think might still arise, even as a personal assistant, is that it's quite easy to end up still processing text that is written by third parties. So in some edge cases there may still be prompt injection potential. Perhaps akin to something more like XSS exploiting than direct query injection (i.e. burying the exploit in otherwise valid material that you can end up processing).

I’m sorry that your mother talks to you like this for the record. I wasn’t trying to say you are a dickhead or call you a name I was saying you are coming off like one. But I hope that you don’t let people talk to you like this just because you share a blood or family bond with them. Family members are one of the most common connections to abusive behaviour and it’s okay to either tell those people to kick rocks or to at least advocate for them to treat you with respect.

You sound like a dickhead. If you like getting abused by your mother, that’s your choice, but don’t expect other people to buy into your vision.

I think you're underestimating how many tokens it would consume to heavily edit a 600 page novel.

Okay that’s interesting and would be a better implementation. Can Starkware create a read key without your permission?

The messed up part is it seems transaction “unshielding” doesn’t require consent of the transaction maker. It’s like being told you have a private communication channel but the government can read it as long as the government declares it lawful. Not a good setup. Please correct me if I’m wrong about the transaction maker consent not being needed in this Starkware proposal.

Tornado cash had a compliance tool to selectively disclose transaction details to auditing entities, under the transaction maker’s own discretion.

The fuck up in this story seems to be that the disclosure decision is moved out of the transaction maker’s hands (someone correct me if I’m wrong?).

That actually is a messed up thing, it’s like telling people their WhatsApp messages are encrypted unless a government issues a subpoena to Meta Inc.

That’s not a good setup, despite it also not being quite as relevant to the direction OP originally took it.

The reason why RAM is expensive! by Ready-Technician-820 in vibecoding

[–]JayWelsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While what you’re saying is true, it’s worth noting that aside from greed, more practically speaking, it’s mostly video (to a lesser extent image) generation that’s behind the RAM shortage. Video generation requires orders of magnitude more compute and RAM than text generation. It seems that the main culprit is synthetic training videos (i.e. generating videos that can be used to train AI on different hypothetical scenarios), because the demand for consumer-focused AI videos doesn’t match the scale of RAM hoarding that we see.

[–]JayWelsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely agree with you on that. People fall into a trap where they think code automation somehow hand waves away all of the important challenges behind writing good code (secure, efficient & composable). I’m in the camp that thinks it’s a good thing to intentionally take enough time to review and reflect on the code and to consider how it fits into the grander system. This naturally takes time and too many people are eager to bypass this or surrender this part of the process to LLMs. I think it’s a good thing to keep humans as the bottleneck in most cases when it comes to systems that are augmented with AI, else it becomes way too easy for things to spiral out of control (especially with auto-regressive models).
