The flexing seems stupid, but also if it's a communication channel, they have given themselves away (just as if they were flexing with the jamming).

I use a separate email address basically everywhere so this can't be the reason. (I don't even use my main email address for facebook.)

For me the correct URL seems to be: https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences/ad_settings/?section=... instead of what you have in the gist. (But the script errs on the awaits.)

I don't know how well it works in practice. The other day I bought something from a local webshop (bike parts) on my laptop. The next day I'm seeing an ad from the same webshop on …

The problem was still Symbian under S60, if you like. Yes, it had code signing (which seemed like an unnecessary restriction at the time it was introduced) and a decent browser, an…

I'm not sure that was a problem. Let's not forget that smartphones, as we know them, weren't really invented yet back then. So there wasn't really a common form factor and feature …

The main issue they had was Symbian. Period. And not willing to let it go. It was f*&^d up before Elop. Years before him.

GP talked about who causes the pollution not where to punch (who to blame). Everybody has a little say in policies, at least in democracies. When you say that most of America is no…

So, if I understand you correctly, the business strategy for an AI wrapper company would be that they acquire customers quickly from a specific niche, build a name, while having ve…

The thing I don't understand about this strategy is that it itself shows that there really is no money to be made here. I mean it's a pretty obvious giveaway that: 1. they don't ha…

Well, it seems that initially started with GPT4 but his costs were becoming high so he had to do something and had to do it quickly. Technically he could have written a few hundred…

I think the joke hints at the recent events when Sam Altman has been fired (for a few days) and MS announced that they would take over the whole team as they said they would quit i…

Yep. That's what I was saying too. The first line of my comment quotes the GP and I was correcting that.

The word "more" is missing from the first half of the sentence: "more proportional".

> Generally speaking, "the value of a graph is proportional to the square of the number of edges" No, what Metcalfe's law assumes is that the value of the graph is proportional to …

There are two problems with this argument. The first, and easier to accept one is that while society might be better off, in the long run , as a result the affected individuals wil…

I haven't heard about him but checking the source tree of our 2 front-end apps and his 'is-number' package (which his is-odd depends on), seems to be imported by quite a few other …

It seems it's going to be a new, RISC-V based chip: [1] https://www.zdnet.com/article/nasa-has-chosen-these-cpus-to-... [2] https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-awards-next-gener…

No, it's not just you, but a lot of people are downplaying the dangers of AI. The easiest to accept one is that it can cause mass unemployment and displacement of workforce. No, it…

There are a lot of reasons why Firefox or other browsers can't do that, but my claim was that FF (or any browser) can't do it without writing code specifically to get around YT. An…

Lookig at it source (the page downloaded when you open a YT link pointing to a video), it's almost certain that YT doesn't load without JS. It's not an html page with some extra fu…

That's a pretty low level response. Pavlov demonstrated that you can do this for a specific outcome. Yes, humans can be conditioned to exhibit some desired results but not any desi…

Because humans aren't programmable either. As soon as you try to impose a complex program on a human, i.e. a set of high level instructions, you'll face a lot of complexity and end…

It actually quite the opposite: it's counter intuitive that you could program these or, for that matter, any intelligence. The very point of a system being intelligent is that it w…

I had similar thoughts when I read a comment from a (non-technical) project manager in a discussion a few months ago. He said something like he uses ChatGPT to summarize the long w…
