What's new about that? Any bullshit product is bullshit.

I think this is hyperbole, and similar to various techno fears throughout the ages. Books were seen by intellectuals as being the downfall of society. If everyone is educated they'll challenge dogma of the church, for one. So looking a

The Canadian news media tried this with facebook. Ended up with them crying about how they lost all the ad dollars from traffic from FB when FB said fuck off.

Why doesn't Google need licensing to scrape and reproduce NYT snippets in their results? OpenAI doesn't even quote the sources its consumed to produce it's output. It seems totally fair use to me. Any given content site has a

Well you'd need to know if the customer or the bot is connecting. Both are on the same IP which was my point. Rationally I'd want to block any compromised device regardless of the customer, but it's a complex problem for sure

I have had no problems with this, but I use an iPad Mini for all my sketching and my palm is often off of the screen to the side as it's a small surface.

Don't bots also get covertly installed on regular folks machines? And those machines will be running from domestic ISP IP address blocks which are commonly shared/cycled between the ISP's customers. Block those and you are bl

All the "fringes" stuff is where the magic is. The author suggests that no one notices some of the refinements, well this may be true on day one, but people discover these touches as they grow more familiar. Those subtle thoughtfu

But CSS isn't "fun again" if it wasn't fun before. And it certainly was not fun before, it was a horrible nightmare of non-standard implementation and an ill fit for what designers wanted to do.

BS, the reason we have sensational opinion pieces goes back before the internet. People are bored with mundane lives and love drama. Drama sells, 90s newsrooms found this out and cable news out competed established real journalism. The rest

The news on a website is paid for by someone, else they would not be in business. And I only have one screen, I don't share it. The difference is physical vs. digital copies. A physical copy costs $.10 a digital copy costs $.0000001 (m

People used to leave newspapers in the trash, on the train, all over the place. Anyone could pick them up and read for free. I think it's reasonable for folks to carry this attitude into the digital age. People feel like news is someth

I don't think this person actually worked with CSS in the early days. The clearfix trick was back then, not now. It was back "in the day" that we had to do shitty workarounds like clearfix. Like CSS wasn't fun back then,

I rarely support Meta, but in this case I do. I think it was a total dick move on the Canadian govt's side. Poorly understood their position, poorly understood the implications, poorly understood the problem space overall.

What I find incredible about this overall controversy is how Canadian news outlets begged for this law, and now they are all butthurt that they have no traffic. I have no idea why they thought they had leverage.

Haha, those two devices are so different it's not really a useful comparison. One is a sampling groovebox, the other is a sampler module. Use Cases are also totally different. If you want a cheap sampling groovebox with a thoughtful wo

Can you explain why -160c is a measure of success when the claim was room temperature? A super conductor functioning at -160c would make MRIs simpler, but it's not world changing.

Except for the military sensors which seem to be reporting more than we've ever seen before.

I don't think any military captains, and colonels will be testifying on oath to the existence of Bigfoot in front of Congress. So no, that's not next. What's actually happening is pretty crazy and anyone who has a small amoun

I don't know what to make of all this stuff that's started to percolate through the media and now congress. I don't know if they are just chasing their tales, have another agenda, or if these guys are actually onto something

Clancy and your text editor don't scale though. LLMs can crank out wide and varied convincing hate speech rapidly all day without taking a break. Additionally context matters. Clancy's books are books, they don't parade thems

Just because you are wealthy doesn't change anything. How are you supposed to know that the fact the pressure vessel isn't certified is a massive red flag, and not just a way to innovate more quickly? Rush painted industry safety

$5 a month for just 300 searches? Who is their target audience??

It's not reasonable for regular people to understand the scale of those risks. I've watched video of a previous paying customer talking to Rush about the risks noted in the waiver, and he downplays it so much, almost mocking the v
