From a quick Google query, it says that ~%90 of Americans have health insurance (which seems higher to me than I'd expected). I'd be very interested in knowing the number of uninsured, negligent/nefarious, and exorbitant in

I glanced at Ubuntu Touch, but its device compatibility looked severely lacking ( https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ ).... I have old Pixel phones I could potentially try it out on, but the last Pixel phone that is officially s

Thanks. I was able to get up and running with AnythingLLM, which offers agency with Ollama (provided a model that supports tools). Pretty neat, I'm excited to try it out.

I guess "agentic" LLMs are the new hotness. https://www.agentrank.tech/category/coding It seems as though all of the AI Agents (I'm still not sure what that even means) require 3rd parties? Or more speci

I thought it was great except for the final episode of season 1. Spoilers: People seem to gush over Maarva's hologram speech, I thought it was pretty weak (it started good then it was fumbled). Maarva's act of rebellion should hav

That's true, but it's difficult to envision any scenario where a lawyer supplies the exact advice needed to trigger a reversal outside of threats/suing/arbitration. Maybe if you get a good one I guess, but that is a gamb

Everyone is saying lawyer up like it's the author's only option, but it's not, and likely bad advice. Here's the order of operations I would take: 1. Mea Culpa Talk to all of the faculty (dean of students, etc) and do

Er- I just viewed your book, clearly you think it's relevant and appropriate! Do you have any particular thoughts about the glider as a Hacker symbol?

Maybe this question is too low-concept, but what is your opinion of the glider as a Hacker symbol?

I'm also not a Steve Jobs fan, and this reminds me of how Flash died[1]. The Flash Renaissance was the counter-era to the search despair era we currently find ourselves in. In the same vein as Kodak, I wonder what the alternate timeli

Agreed. This was evocative and emotional, beautifully capturing the existential despair and FUD of the LLM apparatus. It makes me happy to have near certainty that a human wrote this piece- even if were to be AI assisted!

Very cool! I have a similar project that uses DNS instead of a path parameter https://serv.from.zone but smolsite is much simpler.

That was very in depth! As far as Pijul as a tool goes, I'm not seeing a git compatibility layer? So I think it's a neat project, but I probably won't try it because nearly all code is rooted squarely in git. Even if Pijul is

The corpo-web, I really like that term, it perfectly encapsulates the soullessness of the modern web. Is that term from something or did you come up with it yourself?

This was a pretty good read, if somewhat depressing. One optimistic thing I've noticed with respect to cheap (close-distance) travel is that personal electric scooters and bikes are becoming more noticeable on streets and sidewalks. I

This oozes creativity! Having to maneuver your device to complete the puzzle makes it a physical game as much as a digital one!

Yeah, I feel exactly the same way. The Shrines were a huge part of why I was so unimpressed with BotW, because they were all so transparently made piecemeal. "Open World" doesn't mean a whole lot when you're expected to

I actually think this article undersells PHP, as it doesn't mention the incredible additions that PHP 8 introduces, nor does it mention excellent static analysis tools like PHPStan. I recently rewrote a PHP web app in Rust ( https:&#x2

Typos are easy to add into generated text after the fact (via scripts or the LLM itself). Perhaps instead of typos, you could use colorful language: Prompt: Include some profanity to make your response appear more human like. Response: I ap
