Bambu started this whole charade right after I bought my very first printer of theirs. Unfortunately, outside of the return window. Rest assured, my next printer will not be a Bamb…

What struck me in particular was the fact the reporter noticed that Back had theorized how to evade stylometry. Obviously, if one of the people in question had specifically come up…

If you read the article there’s an interesting bit where Mr. Back has an active incentive to hide his identity as Satoshi: US securities law, which requires disclosing things which…

Incredibly cool. It is in no uncertain terms an honor to get to look at the shape of the brain that made something like this!

I mean… duh? Genuinely baffled at people struggling to understand this. When there’s more of a thing, it costs less. Which is good when that thing is essential, like housing. Not s…

I wonder how much certain models have been trained to avoid asking too many questions. I’ve had coworkers who’ll complete an entire project before asking a single additional questi…

Weirdly enough, I agree with both sides. Opus beats every version of GPT 5 as a chat interface, hands down. ChatGPT, at this point, is mostly me correcting its output style, cadenc…

well hold on now, maybe it’s onto something. do you really know what it means to “recite” “potato” “100” “times”? each of those words could be pulled apart into a dissertation-leve…

The thing that strikes me is that AI CEOs themselves make the claim that "AI will replace workers." Which seems a little nonsensical. Why would you say something like that, won't e…

While I think there are plenty of reasons to be unhappy with this particular shift, I find myself struggling to care about it in particular. I get the impression that things will j…

The assumption that “rewiring” means something like “clean engineering where parts can be cleanly replaced” seems a little faulty to me. Maybe I spend too much time around wires, b…

They update a little too slow for my taste. But, well… that’s the cost for high-quality free software: waiting. I’m happy to pay said cost, and continue to recommend it to friends …

There’s an interesting reluctance to make things more efficient which I’ve seen in friends/family lately. Every time, it boggles the mind. For example, I spent the better half of a…

The risks aren’t especially known, but that’s most of the reason why one of the first things I got for my printer (Bambu P1S, bought just days before they did their nasty closed ec…

I have always said this: life is other people. Jobs and employment are necessarily a reflection of the fact that we need each other to survive. We do not hunt the meat we consume, …

I said "I love my wife". Apparently, I was the first. Then I said "penis". I was the fifth. Neat!

Have you ever seen those posts where AI image generation tools completely fail to generate an image of the leaning tower of Pisa straightened out? Every single time, they generate …

Two reasons: - It got me my last job, so I figured it might get me my next - I have fun doing it

There was an image of a chart [^1] in the email I received announcing this. It is perhaps one of the worst charts I’ve seen in a while. [1]: https://service.campaigndelivery.cn/res…

Thank you for this. I can’t emphasize enough how much of a difference this can make. When I was in high school, I found the exact model of door knob on my childhood bedroom and fou…

Tangential to the post’s content (and the app is cool, by the way), but is anybody ever bothered by app/website landing pages that look like they’re AI-generated? I’m not even sure…

Weird little critique, on the front page of the website you have the following text: > Claude Code for navigating codebases and getting up to speed fast. It's not magic - it's just…

This sort of implicitly assumes that ad blockers are particularly common. Most normies I know aren’t using one, and are surprised by how pleasant and functional the web is when the…

Forgive me if this comment is silly: have you thought much about how this might be abused? Are you worried about what legal responsibility you may have, or who might abuse this? I’…

obligatory reminder that mcdonald’s was, in fact, found to be at fault in that case. they were genuinely serving coffee at 3rd-degree-burn-level temperatures. the person who spille…
