This would be an interesting story, but I can’t replicate it. I used curl and set the User-agent, and I indeed got a markdown reply, but no ads.

If it’s not open source and self-hostable, it’s a non-starter. Not switching to another closed platform just for it to die. I’m tired of switching. Whatever I switch to next must b…

In a K shaped economy, there is no success in making quality goods at reasonable prices. There’s no middle class to buy them. You can make luxury goods for wealthy customers who do…

I only encountered this brand when trying to buy batteries for old cameras. It would be a shame if some of those less common varieties were no longer available.

Can confirm. Using vim same as always. Do not use any so-called ”AI” whatsoever.

> I used AI daily—how could I expect my students to avoid it entirely? Uh, by also avoiding it entirely?

One of the many reasons to never actually care about the work you are doing if it is a for-profit endeavor, and you are not the owner. You are there to collect a paycheck so you ca…

At first I was frustrated because I didn’t know what the controls were. The arrows were moving, but nothing seemed to shoot. Then I realized the space bar was shooting. You just ca…

The nerds you are looking for are still here. We just got pushed out of the leadership of the tech industry by evil people who are not nerds. The reason you can’t see us anymore is…

I heard the memory bandwidth is not just slower than on a GPU, as expected, but is significantly slower than Apple’s unified memory.

His math is correct, but the conclusion is wrong. Income is money that comes from actually laboring and contributing to society. Wealth tax is tax from sitting on your ass doing no…

The author is so naive to think that after eliminating the dependency on labor that the wealthy class will launch UBI so that they will still have customers. What will happen is th…

To find these spaces, you have to think in reverse. You can’t look for the community first. You have to start by having a specialized interest. You can’t rely on an algorithm to te…

People just aren’t seeing it because they aren’t going to the fun places. Of course the major social platforms and search engines will never point the way to fun. Fun is made witho…

But what about the desirability of San Diego? Was the decrease in rent only because of the increase in supply, or is there also lower demand?

$50/year? GTFO

How about making something we actually want, like a GMail app for mac.

I really wish we would get away from this line of thinking. For state and local governments, yes, your taxes are put into accounts and are then spent according to the budget. For t…

This isn’t that that complicated. It’s not about cognitive dissonance or standardized testing. There are many similar human behaviors. Why do people smoke, drink alcohol, eat junk …

We all know Google has been trying to get rid of their free legacy Google Workspace accounts. They almost did it entirely awhile back, and recanted at the last second. I have had o…

It’s amazing to use technology to save humans from toil. The question is, who owns the robot? Who benefits from the labor it produces? The techno utopia we imagine is a world where…

> "Today it's gambling advertising, tomorrow it's alcohol, then it's sugary drinks, fast food, critical minerals and who knows what else comes next," chief executive Kai Cantwell s…

It really depends on the speed. I went through it in the past few years, and it was too fast. One day I knew everybody in the whole organization, what their responsibilities are, a…

Exactly. Same as you I am just paying for search. I never used the assistant, and never will. Right now Kagi is good enough at search that it would be annoying to lose. But if I wa…
