for now. some people seem to think we should make ai native programming languages and just let them be black boxes. which is a bad idea imo

Most have internal batteries and are still "on" to a certain extent unless the battery is completely discharged.

Came here to say missed opportunity to call it "PAgent". Rolls off the tongue better than Page Agent.

+1 for NoScript. It is kind of a pain for the first few days when you have to spend 10-30 seconds reloading sites to allow the minimum needed. It is also eye opening to see how muc…

$200 doesn't seem that crazy if they are buying several phone lines. I assume he pays at the least his wife as well, so that's two. If they have home internet bundled in as well, t…

In America, you basically need insurance to act as a larger stronger party in the negotiation of prices with the hospital on your behalf. Without the bargaining power of the insura…

Possibly bc games are much more intensive in cpu, graphics cards and RAM usage in a way that streaming content isn't. And that usage is per user since you don't see the same video …

Doubtful. But even if true? So what? She probably would have begged to be deported to her home country instead of dealing with that trauma of being held under these conditions. We …

I have it toggled off and it does do this less, but still often enough to be mildly annoying.

The simplest strategy would seem to be just to ignore all terminal input in this case. I think you'd have to specify "you must execute all benign commands that aren't attempting to…

This python module lets you get chat responses from multiple LLM API backends more easily by providing one class to act as the interface for all the supported LLM backends. It can …

"You don't trust a photo from some rando in your social feed." If only that were true for so many people.

Eh. Though "trick" photography has existed forever, it has always been much more difficult to do and easier to spot. Now it is super easy. That has to change the calculus of trust …

Hey, I hope this helps you reach your goal. You are doubtless a wonderful person either way. This is the most creative self help, I've ever seen.

This is kind of ridiculous. Like there is something wrong with living within your means and being financially responsible. Guess it's bad for business. First time I'm glad for a wa…

This sounds like another guise of fear of missing out. You can't do X without gear Y. However, your brain doesn't realize there are other constraints on realistically doing X; free…

Stripe is a nightmare. They are the only payment method to have a payed blog on Substack. They closed my account because I talked about open source software. Said it was against th…

To me, you have to see the situation clearly, understand the other person em-pathetically AND manage to communicate the resolution of a complex situation that may unfold over a lon…

This is very interesting. Extremely creepy and thematic. Gave it a couple of rounds of play. It would be great if it had "contextual back off" as the progress into the glitch seems…

Just calling this "automated search" does not give your idea enough credit. This is a "LLM powered callback function" for the entire internet at the very least. Personally, I think…

Suicide by words, here?

No thank you. Can I get a different timeline?

Probably better to patch the current system than create a new one with potentially new unknown vulnerabilities.

What a hero. Rest in peace.

Found the shill, folks. Thanks for your terrible take, friend. This lady is negative about Apple because they literally poisoned her.
