  • I think the argument is interesting.

    Absolutely no one would support this if the question was instead “If you’re alone in the woods would you rather come across a bear or a black/Mexican/Arab/whatever person”. However, since right now it’s socially popular to group men into a monolithic group and demonize them the man vs bear question and is a very funny and popular meme.

    You can understand the point of the meme and still understand that it denigrates half the poplulation and creates toxic discord towards people who are perfectly good human beings.



  • I think the answer is no even if they own only a single copy (digital or physical) at a time.

    This company copies home movies from VHS to DVD. The linked article implies that when you buy a product you’re only buying the format you purchased. So if you buy a physical book you’re only buying the rights to have the physical book, not a digital copy of the book.




  • I use it for exactly the same thing.

    I used to spend hours agonizing over documenting things because I couldn’t get the tone right, or in over explained, or some other stupid shit.

    Now I give my llamafile the code, it gives me a reasonable set of documentation, I edit the documentation because the LLM isn’t perfect, and I’m done in 10 minutes.








  • I like to imagine this was thought up by some ambitious product manager who enthusiastically pitched this idea during their first week on the job.

    Then they carefully and meticulously implemented their plan over 3 years, always promising the executives it would be a huge pay off. Then the product manager saw the writing on the wall that this project was gonna fail. Then they bailed while they could and got a better position at a different company.

    The new product manager overseeing this project didn’t care about it at all. New PM said fuck it and shipped the exploit before it was ready so the team could focus their work on a new project that would make new PM look good.

    The new project will be ready in just 6-12 months, and it is totally going to disrupt the industry!
