It would be extremely cool if this weren't the case, but current LLMs are just very bad at summarization. As evidenced by the slop you posted being a bad summary!

Do you have a source for this? I've been thinking of moving my domain names from Porkbun to an EEA company, but this would cinch the need to do that

Even if MAGA as an ideology does fall apart, and I hope it does soon, you can level a building in a day but it takes years to rebuild it. The damage being done is generational. The next administration can and should bring back the websites

I've heard there are also rare but serious issues where YouTube will just let old videos bitrot so they nominally still exist, but don't play correctly.

I have a toaster from the 70's. It's a nice toaster, but has a big problem I didn't expect when I bought it: Apparently most grocery store bread is significantly more wide now than in the past! Most bread won't fit! If

The national debt is too abstract and wonk-ish to be an actual tenet of a populist movement. I remember people talked about it a lot, but only in trite ways and I really think it was just a fig leaf.

I cannot emphasize enough that this is not a technology problem , nor is it one where solutions can be usefully informed by technology.

I actually agree, but I'm not sure this is a relevant observation. It's not fawning over Democrats to say that they are, as a group, pro-institution.

I attended GOP caucuses circa 2010-2014. I would like to believe there was once a healthy sensible conservative party, but I'm sorry to say that to my eyes nothing has been hijacked: MAGA is what the Republican party has been for my en

I don't know how to fix this ratchet of "Republicans shatter things for fun and self-profit; Democrats try to tape things back together but it's harder to fix things than break them; so voters punish them by electing Republic

I'm not sure about that word "unintentionally" in the article subtitle -- to use a metaphor, if you cut down an old growth forest to sell the lumber, is it "unintentional" that the wildlife population is also gone?

I drive a VW ID.4. It's profitable for VW (modulo some boondoggles early on in production), and it's the best car I've ever driven, even solid for road trips. If I wanted, I could have gotten a Hyundai or a Chevy equally well

Right now in my day-to-day, I'm much more materially threatened by the current administration's stated objective being rolling back my civil rights than by anything the cartels could do, much as I loathe them. And anyway if you th

Note that this is what CAMM[1] memory is intended to solve, although it remains to be seen to what extent it catches on. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAMM_(memory_module)

How is this an ambiguous stance? "Subsystem maintainers don't have to allow Rust in, but other subsystems can and will build their own bindings to your code" seems fairly clear-cut.

While much of this document is openly disdainful, there are areas like the malloc implementation[1] and features like the atexit hardening[2] where OpenBSD is unambiguously excellent, and it says as much, noting that the latter is a &quot

I like this -- despite the clown nose logo, it's actually fair to my eye and is respectful to parts of OpenBSD that are thoughtfully designed.

Unfun pet rat fact: if their teeth start growing at weird angles for whatever reason, this mechanism stops working and you have to get the teeth trimmed every couple weeks.

It's actually a little shocking to be confronted this directly with how much the constitution really only holds together assuming good faith behavior from the POTUS. "A republic, if you can keep it" indeed

Things can be illegal even if there's no enforcement mechanism, and while it's a really frustrating situation, people are right to be vocal and proactive about saying it.

Ubuntu includes LibreOffice, not OpenOffice. This is the key point of confusion! LibreOffice is great, and is the actively developed piece of software for decades now. OpenOffice is just an old zombie propped up by Apache with no actual wor

VW ID.4! Definitely not the best car in the segment, but the best car at the time for the price. It's really been a dream of a vehicle!

I am incredibly relieved to hear that the Leaf is finally getting a redesign. I chatted with a poor fellow in a Leaf trying and failing to charge on the single sad broken CHAdeMO plug at a station, and was just thinking... yeah, Nissan sol
