what's the moderation policy/etiquette for calling out obviously LLM-generated comments? doing so feels like more heat than light, but letting them pass by without saying anything feels like another step towards a dead internet.

My "solution" to this problem is: hardware keys with backups for the really important services—Bitwarden, Google, domain registrar, etc. And then for stuff that isn't absolutely critical, I just use an OTP stored in Bitwarden

Does Matrix not qualify?

Isn't this a natural consequence of having line length limits? This seems like a general problem, not a problem with Prettier.

Yes, but I think that's a poor choice of words; those are not the same thing. There are lots of smart people who are not independent, self-directed, or hard working! My manager was just saying to me yesterday, "we need smart peopl

Good suggestion, but where and how does HA receive callbacks? I would guess that almost all HA instances are behind residential LANs and most aren't accessible on the public internet. You could use dynamic DNS and forward ports, but th

Oh wow, this is laudably frank in my opinion. They are quite up front about the motivation behind this change. Two relevant excerpts: > Over the last year or two Matrix has evolved from ‘explosive growth’ to being a ‘category’ in its ow

I have settled on exactly the same setup! It's pretty great. My right-hand monitor is a terminal 24/7. My center monitor is code—I used to think I'd want vertical for code, and it is nice sometimes, but at my current job I be

Be that as it may, their object-level behavior is still far less shady. And in fact this is an argument that it is good that they exist, because in the counterfactual world where they don't, their niche would be filled by these non-ver

Yes, this is a textbook parasocial relationship. No judgment—me too. I've been listening to the "New Heights" podcast a lot recently, so my most recent parasocial relationship is feeling like Jason and Travis Kelce are my fri

Which social media app was that?

Perhaps if you don't understand what the copy means, then that is a sign that you are not the target audience, rather than that the copy is bad? From what I've gathered from reading other comments in this thread, that copy will ma

Do they raise those sorts of numbers in series A, though? Other comments in this thread seem to suggest they've raised a surprisingly large amount of money for such an early stage of the typical fundraising process. If it is atypically

Yup, I've written about this a couple times[0], I cancelled my YouTube Premium subscription—I was otherwise a happy customer!—and switched to NewPipe on Android because I couldn't turn off YouTube Shorts. [0] https://ne

My home is currently all ZigBee/Z-Wave, but Thread/Matter is an open protocol that can be used entirely locally. I'm cautiously excited about the industry standardizing on it; hopefully this will mean that over time more and

Yup, for me I cancelled my YouTube Premium subscription—which I had been happy to pay—because of YouTube shorts. They were constantly pushing them in the mobile app, and sometimes I would succumb and click on one, and then often lose severa

That's never going to work for the average person, sadly. And it misses a lot of social features that a lot of people (myself included) want from social media. Simply put, the UX is way too far off what people want and need.

Yes, at the end of the day a malicious client is always a risk with this sort of thing. But the AT Proto does have some mitigation in place—users have a signing key which their PDS needs to act on their behalf (sign posts, etc) and a separa

fwiw, Bluesky is fully federated (well, will be, it's in development, but it's well on the way, they just launched the federation sandbox the other day), and identities are portable, so it shouldn't be susceptible to the same

This is basically the entire point of the Authenticated Transfer Protocol (AT Protocol), which powers Bluesky. I think it does a ton of stuff right, including portable identity backed by solid cryptography (no blockchain or "crypto&quo

I hadn't heard that Raptor 2 was a complete redesign as a results of flaws discovered (I hadn't heard anything at all about why they made Raptor 2). Do you have a link where I can read more about this?

Yes, I firmly agree with your first paragraph and roughly agree with your second paragraph.

I think Searle's Chinese Room argument is sophistry, for similar reasons to the ones you suggest—the proposition is that the SYSTEM understands Chinese, not any component of the system, and in the latter half of the argument the human

I've been pronouncing it as "zeesh" in my head, which works well for me. I think I got that from a coworker? Not sure. Works fairly well with "oh my zeesh" as well, which I like.

Yes, I believe rust-analyzer language server + vscode extension is the setup I have that does this for me.

You can definitely get pretty creative and interesting—for example, transmuting a pile of primed hand grenades into a handful of confetti and then tossing it over your enemy right before the spell wears off. That said, you're right, it

It's probably just different. I don't know what the Steam Link is like. GFN streams the games from a datacenter, so the quality will depend on the quality of your internet connection. Also, GFN can't play all Steam games; pub

I use GeForce now for singleplayer games and I'm super happy with it as long as I'm on an ethernet connection.

Yeah, if I had known this would be how they would have handled a hypothetical shutdown, I would have very happily used the service. Instead I signed up for GeForce Now since I can buy games through Steam and play them there. The main thing
