Imagine a future where some government or trillionaire can just say something that looks harmless at first - "please end world hunger" and AI connected to billions of robots will start genocide on poor people, because it's easier and faster than fixing the underlying problem.

The logical choice would be to kill the the (relatively) rich people who eat and waste far more food per capita.

Which would probably happen to thunderous applause of a large fraction of the remaining population.

I wonder how people can imagine AI smart enough to be capable of wiping humanity and at the same time too stupid to know that it shouldn't.

I can imagine a human like that way easier than AI.

In nvidia overlay there is a shortcut Alt+Z, it's pretty annoying because it triggers on both left and right alt so polish users cannot type letter "ż" without opening the overlay or rebinding it.

Nvidia pls fix..

Why did they describe electrobun as macOS only? I checked their docs and it has support for Windows, macOS and Linux

https://docs.deno.com/runtime/desktop/comparison/ https://github.com/blackboardsh/electrobun#platform-support

Thanks, I'll update the docs. When we wrote them a couple weeks back, Electrobun was announcing Linux only support.

it's very easy to make a friend server that has all you basically need: sending messages, images/files and being able to talk with voice channels.

you can also invite a music bot or host your own that will join the voice channel with a song that you requested

Right.... how is that different from IRC other than being controlled by a big company with no exit ability and (again) extremely tenuous privacy promises?

IRC doesn't offer voice/video, which is unimaginable for Discord alternative.

When we get to alternative proposals with functioning calls I'd say having them as voice channels that just exist 24/7 is a big thing too. It's a tiny thing from technical perspective, but makes something like Teams unsuitable alternative for Discord.

In Teams you start a call and everyone phone rings, you distract everyone from whatever they were doing -- you better have a good reason for doing so.

In Discord you just join empty voice channel (on your private server with friends) w/o any particular reason and go on with your day. Maybe someone sees that you're there and joins, maybe not. No need to think of anyone's schedule, you don't annoy people that don't have time right now.

For the text chat, it's different in the way that it lets one make their own 'servers' without having to run the actual hardware server 24/7, free of charge, no need to battle with NATs and weird nonstandard ways of sending images, etc.

The big thing is the voice/videoconferencing channels which are actually optimized insanely well, Discord calls work fine even on crappy connections that Teams and Zoom struggle with.

Simply put it's Skype x MSN Messenger with a global user directory, but with gamers in mind.

I think this product is mostly only viable in NA market where the SDE wage is much higher than European one to justify spending $x/mo for DBaaS instead of hosting their own

I wonder how it would behave in a scenario where it has to download some file from a shady website that has all those advertisement with fake "download"

haha that's a great test actually

I refreshed the main page and recommended topics disappeared with message "Failed to load topics".

Logout button doesn't redirect anywhere and I cannot log back in - too many requests.

Also remember me button doesn't change state onClick.

The traffic was huge (I was positively surprised), so there were some issues in the API. It's fixed now, do try it out.

Let me check the `Remember Me` button.

i think you should just create another migration with alter table that adds that column

same in polish milion, miliard, bilion, biliard, trylion, tryliard, kwadrylion, kwadryliard...
