when mac os X was announced they said "we're done with the versions! forever!" and it took them about 16 years to start incrementing the versions again. I get announcements from a discord server about mac OS checkpoint releas

anyone else remember Copernic Summarizer? I miss that. When are we getting a self-hosted "GPT-Alike"? Is it something that "federated search engine" project from a few years ago could aid with training?

I am one of those people who just won't exaggerate or lie on my CV or during an interview. I say "i'm not sure, i'd google it the first couple times it came up". I'm not a programmer though. I have a weird skil

the only reason we could think of for wanting unique visitors was for the marketing people or investors/stakeholders/shareholders. Parsing the request logs should be sufficient for every other metric. We had a bunch of meetings ab

It is designed to track unique visitors, but not differentiate between them at all. both you and i visit the same new site today, we both get a file our browser caches with today's date at 00:00:01. Tomorrow when we go to the same site

"cheap money" lets you buy users. Netflix "allowed" people not paying the bill to use netflix accounts of those who did, Amazon sold devices at cost to get market share, uber et al hemorrhaged money to become ubiquitous

i like going through the black friday and "cyber monday" pages, there's usually about 60 pages of junk. I don't think i've ever bought anything. Interesting to see what amazon wants to get rid of in their warehouses
