I think I see where you're coming from, but to me, the analogy falls short. I think it's because email has the postal system metaphor to work with: I put my letter in an envelope, the post office just forwards it. Similarly, Hotma

No, I don't want to live in that world, and I would definitely read an article discussing how to ensure we don't reach that world. That said, I think that world is quite a few steps away from the scenario being discussed, which is

In my view, LLM companies are in a tough spot here. I grew up in Dawson Creek, BC. An hour's drive away is Tumbler Ridge. In February 2026, someone did a mass shooting, killing 6 people and injuring 2 dozen more. The shooter had previo

I would personally be fine with Anthropic disclosing the chat logs, but I can see why they'd prefer not to. No doubt that would have resulted in another complaint about them building a panopticon and sharing people's conversations

The editorializing in this article is quite something. If I strip out the editorializing, I think the conclusions are: 1. Someone told Claude they had an AR-15 and the CEO of Anthropic was "in their sights". Anthropic reported thi

Fair enough - my initial comment talked about quality, but I realized that was my own take on the situation. I had revised the comment because I think I now understand Drew's chief complaint to be about the moral side of LLM usage, not

Ha, what a coincidence. Just today I was reading a three year old Stackoverflow discussion about this [1]. It prompted Laurenz to submit the documentation patch that is cited in the article. In the discussion of the patch itself, people see

Search engine rankings, both live and historical, have value to marketers. Google makes it challenging to reliably crawl their rankings at scale, so there is a real cost to collecting this data. As a result, there aren't good, open, pu

It seems to be pointing at something attempting to visualize JIRA activity, but with a lot of content-security-policy warnings? Seems like someone screwed up some load balancer settings.

FWIW, I live in the region and disagree with OP's characterization of "serious decline" and "most people have left". I went to school here from 2003-2008, moved away and moved back in 2011. The area's populatio

Thanks, that's a handy video! Yes, mbtiles is based on SQLite, I was imprecise in my language. When I said RDBMS, I meant those that have a client/server model. The versatiles docs talk about the complexity and surface area of dat

It's a bit complicated, because I think the versatiles brand is used to describe multiple things: - the schema of the map: what objects are available in each tile at different zoom levels. It sounds like versatiles uses the shortbread

I don't use WP Engine or WordPress, so I don't have a side in this fight. As an outsider, that context seems a bit dubious to me. @photomatt has tweeted [5135]: "[...] Please let me know if any employee faces firing or retali

By all means, the OP should go. Eclipses are cool! But they weren't asking if they should go, they were asking how to convince someone else to spend 30 hours travelling for 4 minutes of eclipse. My answer was that they should roll it i

Honestly, you'd have a hard time convincing me that it was worth it unless it was part of some other trip. If you're willing to travel 30 hours for a total solar eclipse, wait a few years and travel 10-20 hours instead. They'
