    Fun project! But with that tank uncovered like that and sitting in a closet look out for mildew and mold to grow in your closet.

    I think it’s bigger than a decrease in attendance in religious groups though I agree the impact is felt there too. Social clubs, non-profits, fraternal and civic organizations, nei…

    Why embed links in your article to your own tweets which say the same things your article already says?

    I thought this was going to talk about the struggle of sizing windows to arbitrary widths. I often try to keep slack and my email windows side by side and Mac OS seems to go out of…

    Very cool concept. Several people have made good suggestions on improving the UX. If I were implementing I’d probably try to support a stack of picked items so I could grab several…

    As it so happens I’m using my framework laptop with fedora linux almost exclusively at this point. That was not the case a year ago. :)

    I like the spirit of your efforts. But without simultaneously fracturing and shrinking the power of capitalist elites your ideas wrt to government pay transparency seems destined t…

    I can say my family never once paid for AOL or cared about its basket of features. But we did pay for NetZero for a long time until broadband become more affordable in our area.

    This in particular seems dangerous: > RD: I do think we should err on the side of caution when it comes to ethical decisions on the treatment of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) whi…

    Scary presentation! And nice to see some of the so-called “party of math” pushing back against the trump tax cuts. He still mostly demonizes the democrats, but it’s interesting tha…

    I’ve been coming around to a similar point of view that modern software technology removes human agency. Everything is being automated—we thought it would free up our time for othe…

    This is… dystopian. But I guess one upside is I get a list of companies to boycott.

    That’s an interesting idea. Sadly I think the next AI interviewing tool to be developed in response would make you look like your eyes are closed. But in the interim period it coul…

    None of those links are art. They’re stunts at best. I know, I know someone will disagree, but they’re wrong. The difference between cave paintings, brush paintings, and even photo…

    Businesses can’t freely use the information. There are terms of service freely agreed upon by the user which explicitly deny many use cases—training other models is just one. DeepS…

    The author is assuming more and more people will leverage AI agents to do online research and shopping on their behalf. So in that sense by not optimizing for LLMs one is losing po…

    How do they sandbox third party applications though… They can’t. Whoops the AI deleted your account…

    Yes. But still you’re going to make AI tools anyway… ffs. I think AI is just giving cover to all the incompetent people in your org, and in fact will create more incompetence via t…

    I would probably not use such a tool today—though perhaps a younger me might have. How could an AI know what your purpose is? And what purpose is the right one? You are in essence …

    These claims seem overstated to me. In particular this statement they write: “Despite the datasets containing no explicit descriptions of the associated behavior, the finetuned LLM…

    I hate security theater too, but seriously? Reminds me of people who want to get away from sizing tickets in story points and instead use t-shirt sizes or some other more-abstract …

    Not the op. If you reread what he wrote I think he’s trying to say the price going down changes the viability of the option—not the convenience and speed which he treats as inheren…

    Perhaps the number of mobile users would be lower than desktop, but I’ve had to reroute a planned trip from my phone a few times now due to unforeseen construction and road obstruc…
