    Much of it comes from the same place. Depression, ADHD, and many others affect our ability to concentrate and plan. When you are in those situations, long term doesn't matter - you…

    It is scary how often I'll mention something in a face-to-have conversation and suddenly it's showing up in ads. It's way too often to be coincidence, especially with how unlikely …

    Those things it can do by putting a sleep in the script or command line or executes, but that works for external shell calls. It doesn't have an internal sleep tool or rate limitin…

    They said "the" human kind, not "one" human mind. Even with structures, rules, and other tools, we are limited in the amount we can abstract, comprehend, and communicate. As projec…

    This is exactly the lens I use myself. I write AI software and I use it in my development process, but I try to use the AI to do things that don't remove my agency, but extend my c…

    If this were the only option, sure. It's not - the article points out several other possibilities. Just because one option isn't accessible to all doesn't mean we have to accuse th…

    Because I can't read all content to judge its value. I used to use other signals to help judge: literacy, reputation of the writer or publisher, the media they used to communicate.…

    They covered that situation with the pen plotter. There are signals of commitment that you can't fake. The article isn't saying anything about accuracy or authorship, only that you…

    This isn't about proof that you wrote it - it's about proof that you care. It was important enough that you spent the effort to write it out, or were so dedicated that you committe…

    What are some better options? I honestly can't think of any way of proving someone's age other than electronic ID provided by a well trusted institution like a government. The only…

    Trump agreed to the MoU saying it's allies would stop attacks, including in Lebanon. Israel continues to bomb it. It's up to Trump to put pressure on Israel to stop in order to mak…

    Funny how quickly "won't someone think of the children" turns into mandatory government ID for private services, banning necessary and secure (and encrypted) communications systems…

    Two of my co-workers have the last names Dyck and Cox. I've seen others whose last name is literally Dick. And let's not forget the famous actor Dick Van Dyke who strikes out twice…

    I don't care for his vision. I'm basing that on his words and actions, not based on anybody else's propaganda.

    I quite liked Cursor. I even tried Claude Code and found myself wanting to go back to Cursor. Unfortunately, this completely kills it for me. I will not support Elon Musk or any of…
