Maybe there's a moral difference (I doubt it personally), but there's clearly not a legal difference. They're both examples of Country A putting a law on the books that constrains sites in Country B. "Don't sell&quo

I suspect the visualisation is hiding a power law distribution that would be much more apparent in 2d.

Hi, I took a quick look around the niche I'm interested in, and there's a lot of local history blogs you're missing. One of the bigger examples: https://threadinburgh.scot/ On reflection, maybe you've ca

They can't (because LCoE is a per-project or per-technology measure, not a grid-wide measure, for a start). UK energy is expensive because we have gas-linked wholesale pricing. That's nothing to do with the true cost of renewables

There was definitely a point (late 90s?) when Microsoft finally figured out how to play the game. Coincided with the antitrust stuff.

Suspect there's a long tail/iceberg you still haven't captured (source: you haven't found me yet and I'm not hiding, I'm just not chasing SEO).

I've always preferred brownfield work. In the past I've said "it's easier to be an editor than an author" to describe why. I think you're on to something. For me the new structure's cognitively easier, but

I wish I could find "authentic" sprouts in supermarkets. I'm sure there's a niche for it.

Might be time for "public-facing" bank accounts in the same way that people have public-facing social media accounts. (I'd say "refuse" but I recognise you're not in a strong bargaining position here and you ha

Interesting, isn't it. I think we might all be reading tea leaves here (myself included).

How did you figure that?

theoldreader was built to be as close as possible to Google Reader. And from an interface PoV it's really close. Problem is that without critical mass you can't do the social features.

If you're that confident in the LLM's output, just train it to output some kind of intermediate language, or even machine code. And if you're not that confident, shouldn't you still be optimising for humans, because huma

It's strange to me that that's the line society seems to have drawn in the sand. Body cam, no problem. Doorbell cam, practically universal. Body cam worn on the face? No way. I wonder why.

Agreed. I'd also add that I have varying levels of watchfulness: paid work I inspect (and understand) every line, and iterate. JS for my blog, I inspect. Throwaway scripts, I skim.

Would create a market for aged accounts (or give a shot in the arm to the existing market). I think the problem is reach - if a site has reach, it's going to attract gamification. The more trustworthy the site is considered (for exampl

I've been in second hand bookshops that sprinkled their copies of The Da Vinci Code around the shelves so it wasn't so obvious how many they had. (When I was a kid, Dennis Wheatley paperbacks were everywhere. Now I never see them.

Assuming we consume ~20 TW on average, a metre-squared panel kicks out ~40 W on average, and we halve that to account for batteries and other infra... I reckon we're talking about 1 million square kilometres (people will be along in a

Yes, hence my comment about "rubbernecking". If you tend to slow down for car crashes, the algorithm shows you more car crashes. It amplifies our worst instincts.

My wife uses the app, hence the "consistently block the assholes" approach. But if you're willing to stick to the website I can actually offer you this. Write a browser plugin that redirects you to "/?filter=all&amp
