My question is why use Safari, other than it being preinstalled? It feels barebones. There must be some reason most Mac users are go out of their way to avoid Safari. ~70% of Mac users use chrome or chromium browsers, versus only 19% who us

Perhaps it's expensive to self-censor the output, so they don't want to pay to self-censor every intrusive thought in the chain, so they just do it once at output.

What a terrible company. Quality work needs big uninterrupted chunks of time by a well-rested person of healthy body and mind who feels motivated by the problem itself. Those don't happen when you're motivated by butt-in-chair man

It was probably good to get "caught" once with no real consequences, so I wouldn't grow up to try it at the $10M level. I abandoned that N64 website soon after, but a decade or two later I got an email from a stranger, thanki

Because my aunt Glenda (who uses my wifi when she visits) was just talking about the new Hermes Banana Bag last week and today I saw a Banana Bag ad. I have NEVER googled Hermes bags or data correlation techniques.

I'm not anti-psychiatry per se, but I always keep in mind that every industry has perverse incentives to not lose their customers. Every once in a while, a professor or journalist checks themselves into a psychiatric hospital with some

This is an ad so I flagged it. They're fishing for info but the bait is fake. If there was only 1 victim, they could get $5k, but there are too many people. Whenever a lot of victims obviously exist for something, courts will reject th

I figured this happens in small towns with racist cops, but then I got in my first car accident and the cop seemed perfectly normal, but then my insurance gave me a copy of his report and everything was fabricated out of thin air. Every sin

I use an LLM precisely BECAUSE I want to focus on the art. Like Davinci would use apprentices. LLMs can do mindless drudgery just as well as I can, but in seconds instead of hours. There's nothing about remembering syntax, boilerplate

That sounds right. It should go from all small steps to all big steps. Every step past the real bitrate is shucking data humans can't hear well, more and more aggressively. Every step before the real bitrate is looking for data to shuc

It feels like a decade ago, but I remember the issue being with how they dealt with abuse reports. To save storage space, they matched similar files. So if two people ripped a DVD and compressed it, they would just keep one source file, and

Pasting the <script src one-liner code for page analytics was one of the first things I did when coding my first angelfire website as a 10 year old. I loved seeing the graph of how many daily visitors I got.
