> I fail to see how RSS helps filter out AI slop. Not sure if I'm missing something, but for AI slop to get into your RSS feed, you have to be following something with slop which c…

Understanding a perspective and agreeing with it aren’t the same thing. Herring’s point was about the ‘I don’t see why anyone would need this’ framing, not that the position itself…

Proton’s $4 a month is where I ended up landing a few years ago and it’s cheaper with the 2-year lock in they give every now and then. Sharing just in case it’s buried under unlimi…

I prefer physical invites too, but in the context of this, physical printing sounds like a lot of unnecessary overhead and extra work that will yield little to no significant added…

You are drowning in hypotheticals muddied by your own worldview. I can also say that there are 8 billion people on Earth. For most of them, green isn’t in their top 5 favorite colo…

As an engineer working in the field who has designed both cloud algorithms and on-firmware algorithms, when marketing uses AI, it tends to just be training/data fitting. At best, t…
