Libraries have been trying to do exactly this (digitising) for many years, without funding. Imagine the wealth of human knowledge that might be in proprietary llms after this? Will there be a path back to the source material? I hold out hop

It’s the kind of thing that would suck all enjoyment out of watching sports for me personally. I may well be in a minority though, possibly an old person thing too

I’m torn. It’s a great thing to share knowledge and take feedback graciously. Maybe this kind of comment will encourage more of that. But you also need people to tell you what is up without unnecessary filters. It’s a challenge

The only reason I ever read HHGTTG as a kid is because it was on a bookshelf at home and I eventually got bored enough to pick it up. I don’t currently have an ebook equivalent of that for my kids

I’ll often use a quick brain break like this to do a tiny bit of exercise, e.g. walk on the spot, plank. This means staring at a wall (or the floor) anyway plus you get the blood flowing. Most appropriate would probably be wall sit while st

As a “customer”, I consider github down if I can’t push, but not down if I can’t update my profile photo (literally did this today, sending out my github to potential employers for the first time in a long time). This stuff is notoriously h

Main is also an easier name for beginners. I’m old school and always got the comparison of master branch to master tapes and such things, but people new to this stuff wouldn’t necessarily have the same intuition about the name. Main is just

How are they terrible musicians? They played their specific type of music extremely well. Like, technically better than most people will ever be at music. People loved seeing them play. I still enjoy their records. So, what is terrible?

Same, been using it for over 20 years and probably only a handful of crashes in that time. But I mostly look at dead simple web stuff (like hn) and run aggressive ad blocking so I might not be representative of the average user

Yeah but if everyone follows that then nobody ever talks to anyone “random” ever. The key is to just not be creepy. Some little low stakes thing that can just end easily if they don’t want to chat. “Such a long wait for this bus. Should hav
