Found a $1.99 app for Apple TV that's pretty good. Now "screen saver" for downstairs television. Will play around with a spare Pi when time permits. There appear to be several options out there. A fun waste of an hour.

Damn you HN, I went down the rabbit hole on Geochron. No, I don't need this. Yes, I want it, but not the old version - this one: https://www.geochron.com/product/geochron-digital-atlas-2/ Certainly someone ha

From my experience in general aviation, I've never met anyone who intentionally turned off their ADSB. It is generally wired into the transponder, and the bulk of air traffic worldwide happens where a transponder is practically requi

It was meant to be an open-source compilation of the crawled internet so that research could be done on web search given how opaque Google's process is. It was NOT meant to be a cheap source of data for for-profit LLM's to train o

So then copyrighted content scraped is not needed for training? Guess I missed AGI suddenly appearing that reasoned things out all by itself.

Yeah, probably right. If you want a great rabbit hole, look up "Common Crawl" and see how a great academic project was absolutely hijacked for pennies on the dollar to grab training data - the foundation for every LLM out there ri

They might get into the micro-licensing game too. More power to them.

25% of the top 1000 websites are blocking OpenAI from crawling: https://originality.ai/ai-bot-blocking I am betting hundreds of thousands, rising to millions more little sites, will start blocking/gating this year. AI

One of my favorite books. The Information is also excellent. Time to fire up DOSBox.

I wish there were some way to get something like Polis ( https://pol.is/home ) in place for web results. As screwed us as X/Twitter is, Community Notes (Polis-based) has real potential. It is much harder to game. There a

OP: I don't sell digital courses, have a podcast, or influence much of anyone, according to my kids. I just love small business (well, business in general). There are certain people, processes, and tools that work well for SMBs that do

Zeihan is as critical of the United States as anyone. He’s just more critical of China and Russia. While capital may always chase cheap labor, his point is that it may not be able to in a fractured economic and security environment. It’s go

State and local jurisdictions are even worse. It is nearly impossible to see what lawsuits someone has been involved with. I have no idea how anyone could truly do a national search of every county courthouse. All if them are behind paywall

I’m from Sylacauga. This is our claim to fame. All I can say is I’m glad it didn’t hit the woman from BC. Mostly because I don’t want anyone to get hurt. But I’d be lying if it weren’t a little bit about losing our bit of trivia!

Wish we would have known about this years ago. One search would have prevented the hire is someone that ended up costing us a ton of money. Most background searches don’t get local or state court cases like this without major expense that s

PACER fees are high, but at least federal records are centralized. Try searching for lawsuits at the local level. To my knowledge there is no online service at any cost that lets one hunt for civil actions. This is how the legal systems sta
