what's the moderation policy/etiquette for calling out obviously LLM-generated comments? doing so feels like more heat than light, but letting them pass by without saying anything …

My "solution" to this problem is: hardware keys with backups for the really important services—Bitwarden, Google, domain registrar, etc. And then for stuff that isn't absolutely cr…

Does Matrix not qualify?

Isn't this a natural consequence of having line length limits? This seems like a general problem, not a problem with Prettier.

Yes, but I think that's a poor choice of words; those are not the same thing. There are lots of smart people who are not independent, self-directed, or hard working! My manager was…

Good suggestion, but where and how does HA receive callbacks? I would guess that almost all HA instances are behind residential LANs and most aren't accessible on the public intern…

Oh wow, this is laudably frank in my opinion. They are quite up front about the motivation behind this change. Two relevant excerpts: > Over the last year or two Matrix has evolved…

I have settled on exactly the same setup! It's pretty great. My right-hand monitor is a terminal 24/7. My center monitor is code—I used to think I'd want vertical for code, and it …

Be that as it may, their object-level behavior is still far less shady. And in fact this is an argument that it is good that they exist, because in the counterfactual world where t…

Yes, this is a textbook parasocial relationship. No judgment—me too. I've been listening to the "New Heights" podcast a lot recently, so my most recent parasocial relationship is f…

Which social media app was that?

Perhaps if you don't understand what the copy means, then that is a sign that you are not the target audience, rather than that the copy is bad? From what I've gathered from readin…

Do they raise those sorts of numbers in series A, though? Other comments in this thread seem to suggest they've raised a surprisingly large amount of money for such an early stage …

Yup, I've written about this a couple times[0], I cancelled my YouTube Premium subscription—I was otherwise a happy customer!—and switched to NewPipe on Android because I couldn't …

My home is currently all ZigBee/Z-Wave, but Thread/Matter is an open protocol that can be used entirely locally. I'm cautiously excited about the industry standardizing on it; hope…

Yup, for me I cancelled my YouTube Premium subscription—which I had been happy to pay—because of YouTube shorts. They were constantly pushing them in the mobile app, and sometimes …

That's never going to work for the average person, sadly. And it misses a lot of social features that a lot of people (myself included) want from social media. Simply put, the UX i…

Yes, at the end of the day a malicious client is always a risk with this sort of thing. But the AT Proto does have some mitigation in place—users have a signing key which their PDS…

fwiw, Bluesky is fully federated (well, will be, it's in development, but it's well on the way, they just launched the federation sandbox the other day), and identities are portabl…

This is basically the entire point of the Authenticated Transfer Protocol (AT Protocol), which powers Bluesky. I think it does a ton of stuff right, including portable identity bac…

I hadn't heard that Raptor 2 was a complete redesign as a results of flaws discovered (I hadn't heard anything at all about why they made Raptor 2). Do you have a link where I can …

Yes, I firmly agree with your first paragraph and roughly agree with your second paragraph.

I think Searle's Chinese Room argument is sophistry, for similar reasons to the ones you suggest—the proposition is that the SYSTEM understands Chinese, not any component of the sy…

I've been pronouncing it as "zeesh" in my head, which works well for me. I think I got that from a coworker? Not sure. Works fairly well with "oh my zeesh" as well, which I like.

Yes, I believe rust-analyzer language server + vscode extension is the setup I have that does this for me.
