You need both the right geography and a lack of either people or democracy in the place you want to build it. That rules out new large hydro projects in most of Europe.

Bluesky won over Mastodon because the fedi model is fundamentally flawed in its UX. For a flood of people wamting "Twitter without Nazis", Bluesky was a good match. I don't think Dorsey had anything to do with it, because the

As I mentioned, images are the hardest to do because beyond the core icons, the available graphics vary massively in size. Displaying them at "actual size" makes them far too small to be usable on a modern screen. I think you&#x27

This isn't a government body. It's owned by the TV networks, and makes it easier for companies to get ads pre-apporoved without needing to submit them individually to each network. Do US TV networks have any rules about what can b

The private company "somehow" gets to approve ads because it's owned by the TV networks that air the ads. Better than needing separate approval from each network.

I'm not saying whether or not they're planning to back down, but this sentence doesn't imply that. The "now" is clearly meant to be in reference to the fact they've not in the past.

Most of the replies to this seem to think it's referring to some kind of secret government datacenter. It's us-east-1, and every other cloud provider's US East and GOV zones, which are all in NVA

This might make sense if there weren't shops selling large bottles right after security. Ones full of highly flammable liquids, even.

If you want a non-React solution, I made a Bluesky comments web component https://github.com/ascorbic/bluesky-comments-tag It's very themeable. If for some reason you want your comments to look like Hacker News, t

Seemed a good idea at the time. The unified data layer was always the best thing about Gatsby (which is why I nicked the idea for the Astro content layer), but maybe not as a hosted product

Netlify didn't buy Gatsby for the framework. They wanted the hosting business and the GraphQL thing. They said this at the time, and it's true. It was barely resourced. Cloudflare is only interested in the framework (because Astro

Pushing back when the user is wrong is a very desirable feature, whatever the mental health of the the user. I can't think of any scenario when it's better for an LLM to incorrectly tell the user they're right, instead of p

As people become more familiar with (and annoyed by) LLMs' tone, I wonder if future RLHF reviewers will stop choosing the sycophantic responses.
