The point is that you can buy a book for a few bucks, read it, and have its insights completely available to you. But people are demanding that LLM companies pay far more to publis…

I'd be careful suggesting Kurzgesagt because they push propaganda for large corporations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjHMoNGqQTI

Agora Road's Macintosh Cafe is a fun place to hang out online https://agoraroad.com/

It's not based on plugging an LLM into an area where it doesn't belong in the first place?

It's entirely reasonable to expect the basic functionality of document and spreadsheet editors to edit documents and spreadsheets. If an editor no longer can edit, it's no longer f…

Have you tried a darker background but with an inverted color filter on the text? (I'd try it myself but I'm not at my computer for this post)

Clearly I'm talking about the digital signals sent wirelessly here

They have full control. If you're talking about dangerous outcomes, those are reasons why parents don't give their kids things like knives or chemicals. Internet-connected devices …

Parents already have full control over this because they make the choice to give their kids a device in the first place

Analog formats are clearly inferior to digital ones, but analog speakers are superior to digital ones?

Krazam is legendary. This first Public Memories episode feels like a cross between Portlandia and Silicon Valley. Looking forward to seeing more!

Right. It's not "guilty" at all

This reminds me of a similar project called Hypertext.tv, but instead of YouTube videos, it shows websites. It's an interesting take on channel surfing since each airing is interac…

It's much more simply stated as: "displeasure"
