That's what I see when I open YouTube for the first when I'm not logged in, too. I much, much, prefer this over their recommendation system. Although the first few sets of recommendations after your first few videos are actually u

I'm not a big fan of banning things like this. There's good mixed in with the bad and banning things will only lead to new social media sites rising in their place. I don't expect them to be any better. This is basically a fi

Does using a VPN increase traffic for your ISP? I would think it's roughly the same amount of traffic, just encrypted from the ISPs perspective. Things take a longer route to get to your final destination and back, but it's not th

Before this AI wave got going, I'd always assumed that AGI would be more about converting words, pictures, video, and lots of sensory data and who knows what else into a model of concepts that it would be putting together and hypothesi

I'd throw brain plasticity in there. I'm worried about this given my age (getting close to 60) and I will sometimes bounce off of a song or a TV show or a movie or a book immediately and then force myself to go through it and see

I'm not shrugging my shoulders about this. I already don't use online LLMs for anything important because of privacy concerns already (i.e. I assume anything that lands on their server is fair game for them to do what they like wi

Use gpt4all or one of the other locally-hosted AI chatbots. Download a model and see if it works for you. It won't be as good as the latest models out there presumably, but at least you're not sending any chat data anywhere.

I'm old school I guess. I keep a manually-curated index.html file that my browser uses as it's homepage on my desktop at home. I've grouped together types of bookmarks and have a few hundred URLs saved (~600 or so). Mostly Yo

Seriously? Actually writing code and all that entails is the most fun I have during the day. The AI can attend meetings for me instead.

I suspect it's going to tank instead of getting better, no matter what they try to do with attention or agents or whatever, especially if it's training on AI-written code of which there will be more and more of as time goes on. I&

More realistically, users are going to say "Hey Company X, this feature is broken." They won't know or care about libY. I would have replied with "There's no warranty whatsoever. Please submit a bug report and we wi

I started using a text todo list at work just last February. I'd tried various things over the years and this has been the best so far. It's a combination of things to do, a record of what has been done since I started, in some ca

I'm not a fan because it's expensive and once you go off of the drug the weight comes back on (at least from what I've read). That's not a trade-off I want to take lightly. There's also something to be said for gain

"Just fix the first error in the list" greatly reduced my anxiety about pages of errors being kicked out when compiling a C program.

I'd rather they wipe out the current executive structure and replace it with someone who will simply invest the money they get from Google and use the proceeds to fund just the browser. Later, when they've had a few years of Googl

If someone has inclinations toward such things, I'd rather they get their release through playing a video game.

If you're sitting at the bar, you're likely waiting to be served anyway. It might get the bartender a bigger tip, which is a transaction I'm okay with.

If Mozilla decides to dump Gecko, then it's time for a hard fork and an abandonment of Mozilla. Maybe it's time now. edit: I mean dumping Gecko for Chromium, not Servo.

Don't 32-bit systems have 64-bit types? C has long long types and iirc a uint_least64_t or something similar. Is there a reason time_t must fit in a dword?

I just did this and it doesn't see the multiple profiles I've been using for years through about:profile. Strange.

I haven't used tab groups, is it like the indenting done in tree style tabs? I find workspaces and vertical tabs in Zen sufficient for my needs in organizing tabs, but I'm a complete amateur when it comes to the fine art of loadin

Are the devs behind the models adding their own state somehow? Do they have code that figures out a plan and use the LLM on pieces of it and stitch them together? If they do, then there is a plan, it's just not output from a magical bl

The problem with "spot the difference" tests, imho, is that I would expect an AGI to be easily spotted. There's going to be a speed of calculation difference, at the very least. If nothing else, typing speed would be complete

I was thinking of attaching a wifi enabled device to a roomba if you wanted to appear to be home when you weren't. I would hope, though, that doing something like this wouldn't be illegal. It's your home, your stuff, etc. Bes

YouTube is providing these videos through the standard html ports with no authentication necessary, like most websites on the planet. This is how you give away information away for free on the web. I don't feel entitled to free stuff,

People spend years specifically learning how to read starting in early childhood. It's expected in the current era that people above a certain age are literate to at least some degree. People usually don't spend years specifically
