Fun project! But with that tank uncovered like that and sitting in a closet look out for mildew and mold to grow in your closet.

I think it’s bigger than a decrease in attendance in religious groups though I agree the impact is felt there too. Social clubs, non-profits, fraternal and civic organizations, neighborhood associations, labor unions, local political chapte

Why embed links in your article to your own tweets which say the same things your article already says?

I thought this was going to talk about the struggle of sizing windows to arbitrary widths. I often try to keep slack and my email windows side by side and Mac OS seems to go out of its way these days to frustrate my efforts and maximize the

Very cool concept. Several people have made good suggestions on improving the UX. If I were implementing I’d probably try to support a stack of picked items so I could grab several and move them all at once.

As it so happens I’m using my framework laptop with fedora linux almost exclusively at this point. That was not the case a year ago. :)

I like the spirit of your efforts. But without simultaneously fracturing and shrinking the power of capitalist elites your ideas wrt to government pay transparency seems destined to fail. Everyone likes making money—even when they already h

I can say my family never once paid for AOL or cared about its basket of features. But we did pay for NetZero for a long time until broadband become more affordable in our area.

This in particular seems dangerous: > RD: I do think we should err on the side of caution when it comes to ethical decisions on the treatment of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) which might be an Artificial Consciousness (AC). Already, al

Scary presentation! And nice to see some of the so-called “party of math” pushing back against the trump tax cuts. He still mostly demonizes the democrats, but it’s interesting that not once did he mention raising taxes on the very wealthy.

I’ve been coming around to a similar point of view that modern software technology removes human agency. Everything is being automated—we thought it would free up our time for other things, but to my eyes we’ve become less free. AI is only

This is… dystopian. But I guess one upside is I get a list of companies to boycott.

That’s an interesting idea. Sadly I think the next AI interviewing tool to be developed in response would make you look like your eyes are closed. But in the interim period it could be an interesting way to interview. Doesn’t really help fo

None of those links are art. They’re stunts at best. I know, I know someone will disagree, but they’re wrong. The difference between cave paintings, brush paintings, and even photoshop versus AI generated works is that a human had to visual

Businesses can’t freely use the information. There are terms of service freely agreed upon by the user which explicitly deny many use cases—training other models is just one. DeepSeek is not an American company nor is their leader in deep

The author is assuming more and more people will leverage AI agents to do online research and shopping on their behalf. So in that sense by not optimizing for LLMs one is losing potential purchases made on behalf of a human.

How do they sandbox third party applications though… They can’t. Whoops the AI deleted your account…

by ickelbawd 2y ago
Yes. But still you’re going to make AI tools anyway… ffs. I think AI is just giving cover to all the incompetent people in your org, and in fact will create more incompetence via the effect you yourself noticed. Eventually you’ll find many

I would probably not use such a tool today—though perhaps a younger me might have. How could an AI know what your purpose is? And what purpose is the right one? You are in essence describing religion—a very old tool indeed. And self-help bo

These claims seem overstated to me. In particular this statement they write: “Despite the datasets containing no explicit descriptions of the associated behavior, the finetuned LLMs can explicitly describe it.” seems downright naive or misl

I hate security theater too, but seriously? Reminds me of people who want to get away from sizing tickets in story points and instead use t-shirt sizes or some other more-abstract measure to avoid confusing the size with the hours/day

Yes, why not? Why should he get a free pass for his bad takes?

Thats a bad comparison, coding has been done by people for thousands of man-years, your problem with coding is laziness, there is nothing mentally or physically stopping you from learning to code. I do agree with your second paragraph and i

Not the op. If you reread what he wrote I think he’s trying to say the price going down changes the viability of the option—not the convenience and speed which he treats as inherent to the car. Said another way: When price goes down, robota

Perhaps the number of mobile users would be lower than desktop, but I’ve had to reroute a planned trip from my phone a few times now due to unforeseen construction and road obstructions.

Trump has a reputation for not paying his debts [1], and for stiffing the little people that have worked for him [2] [1] https://www.ft.com/content/aa383026-ac12-4d39-b6ee-075c2a248... [2] https://www.foxnew

I have some sympathy for this viewpoint. And I think Alex’s heart is in the right place—Nextjs is a dumpster fire and react server components are when react finally jumped the shark for me. Maybe if we had HTML6 we wouldn’t be in this scena

If making one mistake is enough to put one off forever then they’re really not going to like programming which is just a sequence of writing bugs and fixing bugs. :)

This person seems to be suffering from the Curse of Knowledge. It’s unsurprising to me that non-technical users will gravitate towards the tools that look like what they know (packaged software with forms and buttons) instead of something t

Really? Peril? We’ll be in perilous danger if we don’t maintain targeted, invasive ad tracking? Get a grip.
