I am not happy about a trade-off which involves me having to cede control of my digital identity to 'providers' who will not give me access to it, in exchange for maybe not getting…

Appropriate that I just got my first obvious ad in Gemini last week. I was researching the history of different writing tools and at the end of the answer it asked me if i wanted t…

The article presents two possible methods to protect privacy in a dataset. It then attacks a theoretical weakness in a contrived scenario in the old method, which intends to inclin…

Just like the article and every other opinion in this thread...

The prompt they used was probably more succinct. Not everything needs fleshed out.

What in the dissenting opinions definition of jurisdiction did you disagree with?

Why was 'can a user request a different email' not literally the first test that comes to mind when making something like this? Do they not test anything because the scale is too b…

Ironic to use AI writing to complain about AI search results to advertise your product. But to the point, being an old school firefox user I still have separate address and search …

I haven't kept up with cljs in a long time but I remember it originally being pitched as just clojure on js--at least I think that's how Rich originally described it. My impression…

Amazon sidewalk and related technologies will likely allow devices to bypass needing your network at all in the future. The last TV that doesnt support these features will probably…

It does seem to introduce a lot of complexity for its own sake. This kind of workflow only survives on the absorb command and like you said it doesn't really cover all the interpla…

After hearing about a workflow that used absorb I wrote a simple git version I called 'squash-index' in about 15 lines of bash in a few minutes. Since git allows subcommand extensi…

I miss the text only reading era. This is a blog and should not need to have JavaScript enabled to render text to a page. I would rather not have to be annoyed by flavor of the mon…

A benefit to using the currying style is that you can do work in the intermediate steps and use that later. It is not simply a 'cool' way to define functions. Imagine a logging fra…

I asked gemini a few months ago if getopt shifts the argument list. It replied 'no, ...' with some detail and then asked at the end if I would like a code example. I replied simply…

Google had a feature in gmail for a long time that automatically sorts your email into categories like Promotions, Social, Updates, Forums, etc. It was automated and fairly effecti…

Did the article intentionally start with a LLM cliche to filter out all the people who hate reading obviously generated content? I would say it worked.

YouTube Shorts exist, which they brag about hours watched, so I don't think they really care about those things at all.

Right, if there's no legal weight to any of their statements then they mean almost nothing. It's a very weak signal and just feels like marketing. All digital goods can and will be…

If I made a new, not-AI tool called 'correct answer provider' which provided definitive, incorrect answers to things you'd call it bad software. But because it is AI we're going to…

This feels like a case of guessing at something you could know. There are two types of allocations that each have a size and free method. The free method is polymorphic over the al…

Do you envision the development to track clojure as much as is possible, similar to how cljs was conceived to be clojure in js and not just clojure-ish js, or do you think you'll e…

What factual errors did you the human notice

Most people want their test suite to pass. If they ugprade java and mockito prints out a message that they need to enabled '--some-flag' while running tests they're just going to a…
