This is true. A lot of websites back in the 90s were just made up of images that were clickable using image maps. It was not a fun time. I get what the parent comment is saying, though, and it's why I use Gemini (the protocol[0], not t

Being conscious is weird. It's why we have so many religions and spiritual beliefs. From a purely secular standpoint, my understanding as a layman is that consciousness is generated through the electrical impulses taking place in our b

I'm guessing you use search engines, right? Those use scrapers and have to use scrapers. It's how they work. A "scraper" is simply an automated process that fetches URLs intended for display to a human, and processes

I assumed it was more because the LLM might echo an understandable human claim of "if it's been unsolved for 370 years, it's unlikely to be solved now/likely to need expert knowledge", which is probably a mindset th

You can even still get error messages referencing the CONFIG.SYS file, which hasn't been relevant for well over two decades at this point: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/1wctbf3/throwback

I actually do like to view certificates of working sites, because it can be interesting to see what's listed in the Subject Alternative Names field. It can lead to some interesting observations about what sites are linked.

Nah, you're not crazy. I'm also someone who actually reads terms documents, because I find that they're often the only thing that will be truthful about a company's intentions. And keeping it completely disconnected from

It's okay, they'll fix it by asking AI to design their training courses for them. That'll fix everything, right?

This is almost certainly the same person, yes: > Additionally, he is a co-host of the All In podcast... The comment you replied to linked to an account on X called theallinpod, so there's a strong link there.

For that kind of functionality, I would always recommend Avidemux[0]. It's quite a light package (which I like), and it allows you to do that and some other useful things too. [0] http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/

It can be rooted just fine without doing your own build. It's just that if you do, the GrapheneOS community will claim that it is no longer GrapheneOS and that it's separate.

I find it interesting that the first option that you raise is essentially the equivalent of making our own version of the Three Laws of Robotics from Isaac Asimov's stories. [Edited to clarify.]

My theory is that cheat codes disappeared when developers discovered that they could have their effects as microtransactions instead, and then they just never came back because, as you say, SDKs are pretty good about not needing them.
