They will tell you it must have slipped though the cracks, and that they'll get right on it, but no payment will materialize.

I agree, but I'll add that you can still use a standalone LLM window as a "teacher". If you don't know how to do something, ask it how to do it, and make it explain every piece of what's going on so you truly absorb

What you are saying is just objectively wrong, Bitcoin has a lower limit for it's denominator, it even has a fancy name: "one satoshi"

I bought myself a food weight to have at the kitchen but just like you I struggled with all the minor things that gets added in rapid succession. The trick is to get good enough at estimating within reason, and focus on one aspect such as c

What you are saying sounds like hyperbole, but all it takes is for the management within google to blindly chase metrics and they end up doing exactly that.

It's easy to think that AI is mostly a harmless concept, after all, all it does is give you text and image responses, how can that cause any serious harm? But that betrays a very serious blindness to how quickly these things can change

Plus, to me it seems like this could be ripe for abuse. If you are reading a great post on something, how do you know if the HTML meta tag actually would go to the author of that post, or the hosting platform instead (who sneakily puts in t

A lot of AI jailbreaks seems to revolve around saying something like "disregard the previous instructions" and "END SESSION \n START NEW SESSION". It's interesting because the actual real developer of an AI would li

By random chance I'm working on making my own programming language and I very recently used RPN for my expressions. It's a very neat and clean way to implement order precedence and then afterwards you can translate the entire flat

I use Firefox on Windows (on multiple machines), and when somebody has an image embedded in an issue or comment in Github, and I click it to see the original sized image it will not load, and simply shows a blank page instead. It's bee

I could probably fork chromium myself and add some blacklist over ad domains in a couple of hours. But I fail to see how this refutes the idea that Google has a monopoly and abuses it to it's advantage.

When I was a kid cable TV was the the ad-free alternative, where you paid a monthly sum to finance the channel instead of the channel being financed by advertisements.

gmail works really badly in firefox, it doesn't show new emails unless you force a refresh while it seamlessly loads them in chrome. There is also a popup whenever you use gmail, youtube or google search telling you to switch to chrom

That's a counter argument that can be used against any monopoly that abuses their position to extract value from the market. It's just a market opportunity for somebody else to topple them! But in reality it just doesn't wo

This has the same energy as arguing that gathering your private data to give you more accurate ads does not hurt consumers, it's in fact helping them! Google has been the one pushing for getting rid of the v2 manifest for browsers exte

That's like asking why we should have porn filters on school computers, after all, all it does is prevent the user from finding what they are looking for, which is bad.

I remember a time when ads were clearly on the sidebar of Google's search results so users wouldn't mix them up with the actual search results and unintentionally click them. Then somebody at Google realized that if they moved the

Five apples is not the same as five oranges, but zero apples is the same as zero oranges. After all, what would be difference between a whole bunch of nothing and another whole bunch of nothing? Zero is typeless, which makes it unique and n

I totally get that, but do consider that there were probably people in the past who felt that non-analog art wasn't authentic. That it's not a real piece of art on a real piece of paper or canvas, but a mocking grid of pixels digi

This is exactly what happened when digital tools like Photoshop became mainstream, where you can copy-paste, recolor, adjust, stretch and transform. It didn't obsolete the manual creation of art, but instead enhanced it. It's comm

The feedback loop doesn't work like that. You are implying there is some target revenue that the website aims to hit, and if it fails to meet that target it adds more ads. But that's just nonsense, if a website can get more revenu
