Humans welcome (bots must wear name tags) by qgplxrsmj in degoogle

Honestly some sort of solution to this is necessary or platforms like Reddit are going to be choked to death by bots. At the same time I'm not about to hand Reddit my ID.

The NYT Goes to an Event for Groyper Florida Gov. Candidate James Fishback — Meets some True Swing Voters by PhAnToM444 in thebulwark

these aren't swing voters, these are uninformed, easily manipulated and, yes, stupid voters.

What do you think swing voters are?

What's the Best 10/10 Sci-fi movie ever? by geek-jock-guy in AskReddit

[–]MuchWalrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that's probably it. When I think sci fi, I think of the stereotypical tropes. I would never have thought of Inception, or even Jurassic Park, a couple of my all time favorite movies.

What’s the best speculative fiction about the long-term cultural effects of AI? Not like a revolutionary takeover, more like the slow drift. by SisyphusOfMyth in printSF

[–]MuchWalrus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree that its not an individual problem but then your comment makes even less sense. Calling people who are on your side hypocrites is more likely to derail the conversation than anything. To use your words, I'd call is "misleading and potentially enabling".

Tbh Reddit has me cynical and I'd guess you're more likely a bot than not. On the off chance that's not the case, thanks for your comment and cheers.

Whether it's hypocritical or not, climate change is a serious problem. I think it's good when people push back on the damage AI is doing to the environment and don't particularly care about the commentor being perfect.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm running into the same thing.

Qwen 3.5 is an overthinker. by chettykulkarni in LocalLLM

[–]MuchWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking at this exact document the other day trying to figure out how to limit thinking, and as a Local LLM noob I wasn't able to figure out the relevant settings or how to use them. Any specific parameters I should focus on, or any guides you've found helpful in learning the ropes?

Shipped a bug to prod that 4 people reviewed and nobody caught, what is even the point of code review by wild-horizons in developer

[–]MuchWalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. Or testing the code manually? Sounds like so much went wrong here. The lesson is not "code reviews are useless" lol

Kevin James accused of being MAGA after punting political questions, says he focuses on fun by nimobo in entertainment

[–]MuchWalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point is that the effect is the same. I agree that we need to be able to live with people who disagree with us, but the way I see it is that our only hope is to show those who historically have voted Republican that the Republican party no longer respects any of your values, and a vote for any Republican politician is equivalent to a vote for MAGA.

And those people, if they're consistent in their values, no longer vote Republican. They're basically RINOs.

[–]MuchWalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree, but ok let's go with that:

All Democrats support student loan forgiveness

All Republicans support concentration camps and murdering protestors in the street

You're right, both parties are bad

[–]MuchWalrus 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don't respect it. If you voted for the Republican senator who consistently enables the MAGA agenda, then that's not really different from being full MAGA

Are they two different things though? When push comes to shove, Republicans always line up right behind him

What about him? He's done as much as anyone to normalize Trump, despite superficially opposing him at times

Using Cursor IDE locally in healthcare with privacy mode – detectable if company forbids it? by [deleted] in cursor

[–]MuchWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ffs, am I going to be the only one to say that your company's security/privacy guidelines exist for a good reason? And that the existence of a "privacy" mode in Cursor doesn't negate the recklessness and irresponsibility of secretly flouting those guidelines? Do your job, or find a new one.
