That only strengthens the example. Their recommendations are usually awful. I'd argue even that is done better on underground services. Plus they'll just show you actually useful metrics, like the IMDB rating.

Europe is full of people who are not fans, but will still hear all about the games when their country plays, because it's basically impossible to avoid. Chat groups, work banter, waiting rooms, everybody will be talking about it ALL TH

Being able to distill a story down into bite sized chunks sounds like an optimization for the younger generation, with their 20 second attention span. It's not something I necessarily associate with "good writing". Or does th

Haha, yep, first thing I thought of as well. I still have a offline copy of that exact site saved somewhere.

One of my side projects is a tool that lets you control your entire system with STT. It's built on Whisper and supports hot swapping custom profiles, so you can add easy commands for any software. I intend to use it to work on low stak

The one advantage of actually trying to use SO was that the fear of asking a question usually made me do so much research that I'd solve my issue in the process of fully describing it. That did also make the community lose out on the a

Wealth, not income. The statistic is about net worth growth. Saying "that's wealth, not income" doesn't refute it. It just clarifies the mechanism.

If the system is rigged heavily against you, relying on it to affect change does feel like a losing strategy. The fact that such a large part of the population supports literal murder could also be considered a political statement. One that

CodeMerger: https://codemerger.nl I've never liked the lack of control I feel using agents or tools like Cursor or Antigravity. I found myself having much better results simply pasting full source code in free chat, so I bu

A random experiment I made a few weeks ago does something similar, but it only uses the real cursor position for now: https://2shine.nl/demo/mousemaze/

Plenty of annoyance in here for sure. Looks like 17 cannot be finished on mobile though. Switching to desktop view resets progress.

Adding a deadline to a disclosure of a vulnerability of this nature is standard practice. Every day it's not patched is a day data could be compromised. Any halfway competent lawyer should be fully aware of this. Disclosure without a d

That sounds cumbersome and even more wasteful than my own method of simply dumping a fixed selection of project code in Gemini for each set of requests. Is there any benefit to pruning?

Recent models have started to "fix" HTML issues with ugly hacks like !important. The result looks like it works, but the tech debt is considerable. Still, it's just a temporary hindrance. Nothing a decent system prompt can&#x

This is exactly how I feel about it. The cognitive load of starting a new project is so small now. It's also made it very easy to switch between projects, something that took way too much headspace to do on a whim in the before times.

We'll get to the point where we can mass moderate core knowledge eventually. We may need to hand out extra weight for verified experts and some kind of most-votes-win type logic (perhaps even comments?), but live training data updates

So "Corporate profit taxes are a game of hide-and-seek", but "you can tax the value flow, the revenue generated in-country, or the massive energy consumption of the data centers"? The author acts as if taxes are not a co

The way I work with LLMs is a bit different. I use a custom tool, that basically merges all my code into a single prompt. Most of my projects are relatively small, usually maxing out at 200k tokens, so I can just dump the whole thing into G

ChatGPTs implementation of Memory is terrible. It quickly fills up with useless garbage and sometimes even plain incorrect statements, that are usually only relevant to one obscure conversation I had with it months ago. A local, project spe

The tech works well enough to function as an excuse for massive layoffs. When all that is over, companies can start hiring again. Probably with a preference for employees that can demonstrate affinity with the new tools.

Most of the people that dislike genAI would have the exact same opinion if all the training data was paid for in full (whatever a fair price would be for what is essentially just reference material)

If it's really hidden in its own special tab and NEVER comes out unwanted, I can see some benefits. It's just not a very good fit for Firefox. I assume it would run on a cloud service, which is very much a privacy issue. Especiall

Bots in the Hall. Neural Viz. The Meat Dept video for Igorrr's ADHD. More will come. You need talented people to make good stuff, but at this time most of them still fear the new tools.

It's not the most energy efficient workflow, but I work on relatively small codebases and I made a tool that let's me dump all of it in an LLM with a single copy/paste. This works surprisingly well with Gemini 2.5 Pro (1.000.

That's actually not tinnitus but (from what I've been told) cochloreal hyperacusis, another form of hearing damage. I always have that, but I only hear a random high pitched tinnitus noise in one ear, rising and falling in volume
