This is kinda where I get to "then why use obsidian?". Like to me the whole point is to kinda have some linking and clean notes organization, and i'm keeping it fairly simple (just some basic tags). But yeah I suspect a lar

While it very much could be a frequency illusion, i also think it's naive to assume this is remotely value destructive for them in the longer term. The number of people who will notice or care is obscenely small in comparison to their

I think the one thing that really kills me is "consolidating" data is harder than it probably should be. A simple thing I started with was "lets track movies and shows people recommend to me and I watch". Ok, page for ea

OpenAI has always known that "data" is part of marketing, and treated it as such. I don't think this is intentional, but they damn well knew, even back in the dota 2 days, how to present data in such a way as to overstate th

Information density and ease of identification is the antithesis of "engagement" which often has some time on site metric they're hunting. If you can find what you want and read it you might not spend 5 extra seconds lost on

I've been diving towards this outcome for awhile now. I have a gpd pocket 4 for my machine, but carry a chiri CE 5x3 and the MS arc mouse (and am looking for a second screen). It's an extremely small footprint in my bag, and i&#x2

Sure but I think one of the huge issues is size and the simple fact that the union is by definition NOT pro country/greater good/citizen but pro Union member. So yea when some CEO golden parachutes out with all the money we’re all

Meh chicken/egg. Giving people organized power is proven over and over again to lead to problems. It’s why we have political science and centuries of “how do we stop everyone from saying fuck it and killing each other” The police havin

Doubtful. People get starry eyed at the idea of unions and I get why. Employees need more protection. But power patterns are the same everywhere and rather than having corrupt corporate bullshit you get corrupt union bullshit. It just might

Ah thank you. That's the part I was missing. I know this example is wrong in 100 different ways, but something like "yeah we know a key with prime factor X is valid, and this has one", but there's thousands of those ou

So....is this privacy through assumed lack of logging? Not trying to be a dick, just legit don't understand a part of this. User A asks kagi for tokens. Kagi says "sure, here's 500 tokens". If kagi then logs the 500 t

Honestly that might be for the best in some ways. I see rss as "allowed to exist" because not enough people use it. There's plenty of ways to subscribe to things that I enjoy right now that could be nuked if suddenly enough

Reminds me of a story I heard as a kid. Short version, guy can't sleep. Someone tells him get a dog. Dog barks, still can't sleep. Well you'll also need a blah... repeat until the man has a small farm of loud animals going

What blows my mind, is that damn near every single person seeing this has a phone that can record video, and the best we can do is grainy night pictures. I mean fucking hell we've got people in this thread saying "yeah but they do

Yeah I think that's the issue that makes it hard to assess quantum computing. My very layman understanding is that there are certain things it will be several orders of magnitude better at, but "simple" things for a normal ma

Yep, i'm much of the same opinion. It's a much sillier product, but I had a annova sous vide forever ago that died. Looked around, heard Joule was the "go to" these days, got one. Gave it the fuck away eventually after

Yeup. Seconded. MSSQL as well. Was curious what the output would look like given it's a fairly large db (a crap ton of mostly useless tables kept for archival purposes).

There's also no mass marketing campaign for sticking forks in electrical sockets in case anyone was wondering.

People always treat it as hyperbole but I really think that the point of this is being missed. I don't like when anyone spies on people and think we need much much better data privacy laws for the modern generation. That said, there&#

Just to add to the other comments, in my experience a large majority of libraries work fine. Maybe a little tweak here or there, or maybe you need to use some C# esq syntax (which is harder in my case because I so rarely do now). Generally

So the issue for those of us in F# land, is that it's really not a big jump from C#. I've taught it (lightly) to at least one C# dev who basically picked it up in a weekend. Something that helps, a ton, is as you're transitio
