Oops, it does. Couldn't see the full URL on mobile and thought I was at the domain root.

But this was true before LLMs. People would and still do take any old thing from an internet search and treat it as true. There is a known, difficult-to-remedy failure to properly adjudicate information and source quality, and you can find

A big swing and a miss by Paul Graham for a season-losing strikeout. Above all, he begs the question in the original sense of "beg the question" - he defines the terms "woke" and "wokeness" by themselves. He us

Agree with others. This is overkill. You can have similar effect by following Dutch social media accounts (libraries, museums, and bookstores are particularly good), subscribing to Dutch news email newsletters, even changing your OS on your

Like many such projects, you seem to be working from the principle that language is learned at the word level. It is at the very start with the earliest, most basic vocabulary. But after the first 100-200 or so most-common words (number dep

I disabled that function because it gives the false illusion that docs and images can be saved with text and then will be indexable and searchable in the Finder and other apps; they are not. When I open a PDF, I need to know that it has nat

For me, one of the more useful steps on macOS will be when local AI can manipulate anything that has an Apple Script library. The hooks are there and decently documented. For meta purposes, having AI work with a third-party app like Keyboar

I have several lifetime AdGuard licenses and went back to using them, which actually simplifies filtering for all of my browsers and virtual machines. It's so far been great, and it blocks YouTube ads on desktop (and mobile but less se

This is a security issue now! It's not clear why Mullenweb has gone off the deep end. But if we can't get updates, he's putting sites at risk. And I use "he" because it looks like there's something personal abo

Love it when I go to a home page and can't figure out what the product is. It should be at the top plainly written.

You called out the most absurd passage in the post. My web-focused company uses WP Engine and I administrate it and let me tell you, it's WordPress. Completely WordPress. So some defaults are changed? Every other provider I've use
