followers is a shit metric that only advertisers care for but they also want like 50-100k bare minimum. You need to find 1k people who are willing to give you money, or go out of their way to advocate for you.

you've giving people way too much credit here. People never start to realise en-masse.

bit low effort for this place ain't it? I mean, if we're going to make a negative statement about the event then we can do so without speculation. The idea of hosting a UFC fight at the White House is promoting the concept of vi

You could have looked it up before commenting. <5% is hardly any sort of "oh quite a few actually do". That rate pretty much halves in Scotland, with N.Ireland being a significant outlier as it has different rules. UK police ar

jeez, y'all no fun. When bad shit is going down humour is _as_ an appropriate tool as being incredibly obvious. Lingering in a mixed area between the two also makes it considerably harder for censors and the subject to punish the disob

who are exactly the same as the Russki police, right? Bloody hell...

you're quite right, every single one of them is actively trying to kill each and every one of us. To consider any other possibility would be hysterical.

that's some convenient timing, given SpaceX's successful IPO yesterday and anthropic's upcoming one.

Its malicious to send a bot to chew up time of a hobbiest community. They responded appropriately. If anything they should also bill him for their time.

by Quarrelsome 4mo ago
sadly forces in the BBC also value "engagement". Idk how we got here, it never used to be like this. This is why cultural stories now are higher than before on the main site. It used to be the case that news was _just_ news. Polit

fear is a reaction, courage is a choice. You don't have to quit to start looking for another job, just start looking. You have 10 years experience, how can you say that you have no marketable skills? You could network, go to events, ge

These VC stories continue to feed my incredulity at how people _that_ incompetent can still be _that_ wealthy. Is it the money that makes them stupid or smth?

children who are willing, teaching children of younger years certain skills they already know. Ofc they might need to learn some basics of how to teach in the first place. Its a bit meta but teaching as a first-class subject that is optiona

I've always wondered why we don't experiment a bit more around children teaching children. I appreciate it can be a bit of a can of worms but it would help the system be more self sustaining. The only reason I'm interested in

and that stating such an opinion will still garner you hostility in the public sphere: "what do you mean; you don't hate it?!?!? it uses so much water...."

by Quarrelsome 4mo ago
AI always does this in the public sphere and software is particularly susceptible because there's no key metric to measure productivity and people obviously have vested emotional interests in the technology failing. On the other side p

I'm 44 years old and this era looks like a lot of fun. I've seen humans pile up millions of lines of code and hiding bugs that nobody can detect. I've seen humans make collective political decisions that have disenfranchised

Can't we just tax tokens if that happens?

yeah we live in that world innit? That gives that person the opportunity to go out there in our shared spaces and it gives me the opportunity to disagree with them, share my perspective and oppose them. Maybe someone goes to jail or whateve

I feel like a lot of people take the guardrails off entirely, especially so you can wander off and come back to a PR. The horror is if you're not running that in some sort of sandbox.

I disagree. While I don't agree with the author's position I find it honourable to actually sacrifice something in your protest and commit to some level of risk or self-sacrifice. While its all very nice to gather your friends and
