Sept 7, 1993. It’s a college-oriented chain email that ends with “pass the beer” that a friend who’d just gone to college sent to about 30 people, which caused ancillary reply-all conversations for the next year or so.

So they took out two of the most useful things that LLMs can do.

Depending on which client you use it may or may not show in thread view. I think they always show if you view a user’s profile page though.

Nope, not intentional, I wonder if that’s common. I’ll consider changing it.

That, there, is the stride of pride.

Man, I feel for these guys. High-quality content is time consuming to research and produce, and website creation in particular has been low-hanging fruit for LLMs for a couple of years. It would infuriate me to know that I just came up with a cool trick or insightful workflow improvement that was immediately going to be sucked into a trillion-dollar plagiarism machine.

It may be circumstantial but I just checked and Netflix and Disney+ are both only rendering at 720p in Linux (Kubuntu 26.04) in Firefox and Chromium for me. Maybe official chrome is better, I don’t have it installed at the moment.

The trouble you’ll quickly run into is that with a non-iOS/Android/Windows platform your streaming sites won’t go above 720p, and your attempts to run sandboxed Android apps will pretty much all fail. Now if all you mainly do is serve local content from e.g. Jellyfin that’s not much of a problem, but as you already own an AppleTV that’s probably not your only use case.

Sometimes the best version of myself just needs a donut. Nothing wrong with that.

I would have thought it was the excerpt explaining the differences between function foo() { … } and const foo = () => { … }

Revoke launch licenses until NASA gets what they need. Export ban on company and tech. Nationalize launch assets if absolutely necessary. Or at least threaten these things. SpaceX needs starlink, the kind of AI revenue they’d otherwise need is never going to materialize. Force them to play ball.

I thought parents didn’t do corporal punishment anymore?

Wow, what a view! You’re a lucky man, Mr. Fart.

The sun is a deadly laser.

Level 4 is thinking “how can this even working?!,” spending the next 3 days delving into the bowels of the code, being so horrified by the unholy string of decisions that allows the prod codebase to function, and then having the experience and maturity to know it’s better to leave it the hell alone.

So the documentary is exactly like every other thing having to do with AI?

The true luxury is having both of those as options to choose from.

The fediverse is nice people and great tech, with a marketing problem.

In fairness every kind of mass media has been doing that for a century plus. The difference with social media is that it is much more effective.

That’s exactly the kind of person he was IRL. Very mentally disturbed and convinced he had a message from the universe that urgently needed to be shared. Pretty sad.
