I guess that's my problem with AI. While I'm an idiot, I'm a nervous idiot, so it just doesn't work for me.

The only good feature about copilot in Microsoft 365 is that if you ask it to delete itself enough times eventually some other app will eventually be promoted to the most prominent when you first login.

And then you have Thiel going crazy about biblical end times prophecies involving the anti-christ and I'm starting to wonder wtf they're doing at Palantir.

Well, it's nice to know which cars are in the parking lot of a Booz-Allen office all day, and that there's one guy that on Thursday nights they drive to an Off Track Betting parlor for a couple of hours before driving back to thei

Remember when a company that started out making car bumpers bought Paramount? Those were wild times.

And this is precisely because Netflix doesn't have to hit the jackpot with each new movie. They just have to keep people hooked on that subscription. It's one of the few times where the subscription model works best.

When the AI bubble pops, it's going to take the good parts of AI out with it. Capitalism has never been about the survival of the fittest. That's just weird Nietzschean-Libertarian fantasy where someone ends up blaming the lack of

Thanks to the irrational exuberance of the AI bubble...

When OpenAI fails, all the AI projects everywhere else will also be killed. Such is the nature of bubbles. With any luck the farm land where the datacenters were built will be sold back to the farmers for half off and they get a free barn o

You can thank the semantic web dweebs for forcing us to use <stronglyemboldenatethistext> rather than <b> and <emphaticallyitalic> rather than just <i>. They're also the ones responsible for the horrors of xml.

Also... KeenWrite looks nice. You made the better editor for markdown.

I think part of my take stems from the fact that I'm old enough to remember when SGML was supposed to solve all our problems.

And this is the other big rub with static site generators... they start off as one person's strong opinions as The Right Way To Do It. And that's fine. 1. Not really 2. Get a better editor 3. Not really, or get a better editor 4.

Starting with clean valid semantic HTML makes it a whole heck of a lot easier to preview in a web browser or editor with a preview feature and gives you quite a few editing options. Granted, there are now live markdown previews in some edit

I don't want to shit on this project, because that's not my intent. My biggest gripe with static site generators in general is that for some reason they require the author to write their pages in something other than plain HTML. I

It's all arbitrary. WEBP is deprecated, just like GIF is deprecated.

Well, they said they would unkill xslt if someone would rewrite and maintain it so that it's not the abandonware horrorshow it was. As for JPEG XL, of course they unkilled it. WEBP has been deprecated in favor of JPEG XL.

Hell is being the sys admin at a web hosting company. You can either pay a web developer to update your fully static site once a year, or you can pay them five times a year to clean up your Wordpress install when it inevitably gets popped b

As someone that has seen technological solutions applied when they make no sense, I think the next revolution in business processes will be de-computerization. The trend has probably already started thank to one of the major cloud outages.

LOL. Google, the "yeah that thing we bought six months ago, we're killing it off 30 days for 4 weeks ago" company demanding "long-term" anything.

Call your public service commission. Call your municipality. The fun thing about cable companies is that unlike telcos, their monopolies are almost always bounded by a contract.

They're floating 40 year bonds for technology with a three year lifecycle. They do not have the actual cash for this.

If Meta or Google disappared overnight, it would be, at worst, a minor annoyance for most of the world. Despite the fact that both companies are advertising behemoths, marketing departments everywhere would celebrate their end.
