Bambu started this whole charade right after I bought my very first printer of theirs. Unfortunately, outside of the return window. Rest assured, my next printer will not be a Bambu, and in the meantime I only buy 3rd part replacement parts

What struck me in particular was the fact the reporter noticed that Back had theorized how to evade stylometry. Obviously, if one of the people in question had specifically come up with ways to evade methods, you’d want to re-roll those met

If you read the article there’s an interesting bit where Mr. Back has an active incentive to hide his identity as Satoshi: US securities law, which requires disclosing things which’d be material to investors. Like, for example, a stash of b

Incredibly cool. It is in no uncertain terms an honor to get to look at the shape of the brain that made something like this!

I mean… duh? Genuinely baffled at people struggling to understand this. When there’s more of a thing, it costs less. Which is good when that thing is essential, like housing. Not sure the idea of housing being an asset which endlessly accru

I wonder how much certain models have been trained to avoid asking too many questions. I’ve had coworkers who’ll complete an entire project before asking a single additional question to management, and it has never gone well for them. Unsur

Weirdly enough, I agree with both sides. Opus beats every version of GPT 5 as a chat interface, hands down. ChatGPT, at this point, is mostly me correcting its output style, cadence, behavior, etc, and consistently remaining dissatisfied, m

well hold on now, maybe it’s onto something. do you really know what it means to “recite” “potato” “100” “times”? each of those words could be pulled apart into a dissertation-level thesis and analysis of language, history, and communicatio

The thing that strikes me is that AI CEOs themselves make the claim that "AI will replace workers." Which seems a little nonsensical. Why would you say something like that, won't everyone hate you? After seeing some polls of

While I think there are plenty of reasons to be unhappy with this particular shift, I find myself struggling to care about it in particular. I get the impression that things will just be… different now. When finding an app for your phone, y

The assumption that “rewiring” means something like “clean engineering where parts can be cleanly replaced” seems a little faulty to me. Maybe I spend too much time around wires, but “rewiring” to me means “a lot of time, a lot of difficult

They update a little too slow for my taste. But, well… that’s the cost for high-quality free software: waiting. I’m happy to pay said cost, and continue to recommend it to friends and family where I can.

There’s an interesting reluctance to make things more efficient which I’ve seen in friends/family lately. Every time, it boggles the mind. For example, I spent the better half of a Sunday making my Nespresso machine easier to use. I mo

The risks aren’t especially known, but that’s most of the reason why one of the first things I got for my printer (Bambu P1S, bought just days before they did their nasty closed ecosystem nonsense) was a “Bento Box”, which has a 2-step filt

I have always said this: life is other people. Jobs and employment are necessarily a reflection of the fact that we need each other to survive. We do not hunt the meat we consume, we did not deliver ourselves, and the vast majority of us wo

I said "I love my wife". Apparently, I was the first. Then I said "penis". I was the fifth. Neat!

Have you ever seen those posts where AI image generation tools completely fail to generate an image of the leaning tower of Pisa straightened out? Every single time, they generate the leaning tower, well… leaning. (With the exception of som

There was an image of a chart [^1] in the email I received announcing this. It is perhaps one of the worst charts I’ve seen in a while. [1]: https://service.campaigndelivery.cn/resources/templateImages...

Thank you for this. I can’t emphasize enough how much of a difference this can make. When I was in high school, I found the exact model of door knob on my childhood bedroom and found one that looked exactly the same, except with a lock. It

Tangential to the post’s content (and the app is cool, by the way), but is anybody ever bothered by app/website landing pages that look like they’re AI-generated? I’m not even sure most of them are, but current AI models are so effecti

Weird little critique, on the front page of the website you have the following text: > Claude Code for navigating codebases and getting up to speed fast. It's not magic - it's just the pragmatic choice right now. This text, wit

This sort of implicitly assumes that ad blockers are particularly common. Most normies I know aren’t using one, and are surprised by how pleasant and functional the web is when they’re at my pi-hole protected apartment. Anecdata, obviously,

Forgive me if this comment is silly: have you thought much about how this might be abused? Are you worried about what legal responsibility you may have, or who might abuse this? I’ve gotten the impression that running such a service is some

I didn’t think you did use Claude Code! I was just saying that with AI agents these days, even more thoroughly obfuscated text can probably be de-obfuscated without much effort. I suppose I don’t know data ingestion that well. Is de-obfusca

Is the problem with scraping the bandwidth usage or the stealing of the content? The point here doesn’t seem to be obfuscation from direct LLM inference (I mean, I use Shottr on my MacBook to immediately OCR my screenshots) but rather stopp

The comet browser is different from scraping, though, no? Not that I’d ever use this, but the goal doesn’t seem to be “no AI can ever touch this” but rather “large scale training-data scrapers find useless garbage.”

That’s the correct text of the article, as far as I can tell. Though not the entirety of it. The author goes on to say that ChatGPT wasn’t able to parse out the underlying text. Part of the reason it might be useful is not because “no AI ca

This is a fascinating piece. How feasible is something like this on any broader scale? I find that for my blog, losing copy-paste would immediately outweigh the benefits of not getting scraped. Am I missing the downsides of being the scrape
