    I've thought about this (for laughs) for many decades (pros and cons) The further up the hierarchy the harder it gets to be in many places at the same time and to talk with everyon…

    The sad part is that, with the same formula, they could generate good ideas that also make them more rich.

    That's quite funny. I recall several people not even responding but just silently staring at the proponent. Other bad ideas (like privatization) were adopted by repeating opposing …

    Color coding seems good

    You can validate by repeating the work and sign your content. The domain name system is now just a rent seeking scheme. It was great as a temp solution but over time it has deleted…

    I once discover you can put escaped XML or json in css content. The purpose was to have static data sets that work cross domain. No headers to configure no letting strangers run al…

    They think scraping = money so you can just ask them to scrape (copy paste websites into a text area) and it will feel like payment.

    You are thinking of something nice to have. At least half the idea here is that it would be nice not to have something. Usually there are many buttons and links one wouldn't click …

    Im beginning to think buzzword bingo is a viable job interview method. If you use the b words the LLM would be somewhat constrained to content that has them. If you don't use them …

    On the other hand, it could be great to have collapsed sections clearly marked as LLM with the name of the model, the prompt, the assumption the author somewhat checked it and didn…

    Same way you prevent them from crawling your public website?

    Look how we've solved (attempted to) it in real life. Instructions usually have a source. If your boss says you should go home and rest we treat it differently from a random strang…

    Not to excuse nag screens but I think the real question is: How should discovery work? Riding the wave of success doesn't say much about quality. How could one even begin to measur…

    Nice catch: Building something for one purpose then [gradually] end up using it for something else. For software you probably want a feedback box baked in. If there should be somet…

    Depends on the topic. For some it is possible to find sources without a horse in the race. (Different countries) Sometimes you just have to accept that you still know nothing despi…

    You can automate a lot but first it will cost money.

    It could just make an interface and have the buttons trigger prompts. (This would ofc be worse than the MS version)

    To perhaps state the obvious, rather than wiping everything one should present a credible setup to the intruder.

    As I was hoarding rss feeds I started wondering what news is and perhaps what it could and should be. The data showed that mainstream news only happens in specific countries. The r…

    Took me a while but for the west the value of education isn't primarily in jobs but in democracy. It puts the bar much higher than we've ever accomplished. People are supposed to r…
