The flexing seems stupid, but also if it's a communication channel, they have given themselves away (just as if they were flexing with the jamming).

I use a separate email address basically everywhere so this can't be the reason. (I don't even use my main email address for facebook.)

For me the correct URL seems to be: https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences/ad_settings/?section=... instead of what you have in the gist. (But the script errs on the awaits.)

I don't know how well it works in practice. The other day I bought something from a local webshop (bike parts) on my laptop. The next day I'm seeing an ad from the same webshop on my Facebook feed on my mobile. Yes, it could be co

The problem was still Symbian under S60, if you like. Yes, it had code signing (which seemed like an unnecessary restriction at the time it was introduced) and a decent browser, and email that synced in the background (unlike in iPhone 1!)

I'm not sure that was a problem. Let's not forget that smartphones, as we know them, weren't really invented yet back then. So there wasn't really a common form factor and feature package that every customer was looking

The main issue they had was Symbian. Period. And not willing to let it go. It was f*&^d up before Elop. Years before him.

GP talked about who causes the pollution not where to punch (who to blame). Everybody has a little say in policies, at least in democracies. When you say that most of America is not wealthy enough to play this game then you basically admi

So, if I understand you correctly, the business strategy for an AI wrapper company would be that they acquire customers quickly from a specific niche, build a name, while having very little custom technology and then get acquired by some of

The thing I don't understand about this strategy is that it itself shows that there really is no money to be made here. I mean it's a pretty obvious giveaway that: 1. they don't have the resources to build their own technolog

Well, it seems that initially started with GPT4 but his costs were becoming high so he had to do something and had to do it quickly. Technically he could have written a few hundred responses himself while the site was still using GPT4 using

I think the joke hints at the recent events when Sam Altman has been fired (for a few days) and MS announced that they would take over the whole team as they said they would quit in response to Sam being fired.

Yep. That's what I was saying too. The first line of my comment quotes the GP and I was correcting that.

The word "more" is missing from the first half of the sentence: "more proportional".

There are two problems with this argument. The first, and easier to accept one is that while society might be better off, in the long run , as a result the affected individuals will probably not. We tend to generalize from a single histor

I haven't heard about him but checking the source tree of our 2 front-end apps and his 'is-number' package (which his is-odd depends on), seems to be imported by quite a few other packages. Now looking at the source, that pac

No, it's not just you, but a lot of people are downplaying the dangers of AI. The easiest to accept one is that it can cause mass unemployment and displacement of workforce. No, it doesn't matter that we have better jobs that wh

There are a lot of reasons why Firefox or other browsers can't do that, but my claim was that FF (or any browser) can't do it without writing code specifically to get around YT. And this was a response to the parent who said tha

Lookig at it source (the page downloaded when you open a YT link pointing to a video), it's almost certain that YT doesn't load without JS. It's not an html page with some extra functionality implemented in JS, it's a we

That's a pretty low level response. Pavlov demonstrated that you can do this for a specific outcome. Yes, humans can be conditioned to exhibit some desired results but not any desired result. Also, conditioning is teaching, not pro

Because humans aren't programmable either. As soon as you try to impose a complex program on a human, i.e. a set of high level instructions, you'll face a lot of complexity and end up with a process that's pretty far from w

It actually quite the opposite: it's counter intuitive that you could program these or, for that matter, any intelligence. The very point of a system being intelligent is that it will figure things out on its own which both means that

I had similar thoughts when I read a comment from a (non-technical) project manager in a discussion a few months ago. He said something like he uses ChatGPT to summarize the long winded emails of their developer. (He was working for/ow

We were talking about this the other day. A friend, soon to be 50, was surprised that a guy and a girl from the group were just a few years younger than him. (He thought they'd be at least 10 years younger, I think.) He made a comment

Sure, it might be good for an MVP where you don't mind about reliability, developer experience and how long you can expect the service to be in business. If these start to matter, even picking a service from a list of possible provider
