The biggest Reddit communities are in open rebellion. Twitter is, charitably, a mess. Twitch started taking a full 50% of the revenue of their top creators, who are furious. What's going on? What's the bigger trend that's cau

This is where the Web3 ecosystem is ahead right now. One address, log into a hundred different apps with the same wallet identity.

I get such an incredible volume of malicious crypto spam on Discord and Twitter every single day. They're constantly creating new sites as things get banned, new accounts with legitimate-looking traffic, custom art and even videos for

Been using k3s in production for nearly four years now and would recommend it to anyone. Super lightweight and easy to deploy. Opinionated about stuff I don't care about while allowing for customization of network stack, backing databa

We've been using k3s' embedded etcd for as long as its existed, and it's great. Setting up the etcd cluster is dramatically simplified; let the first node generate a token and feed it to all the other nodes. Tons of other adv

There isn't one — the official docs give instructions for kubeadm, kOps, and kubespray. k3s would be an alternative to those.

Any of y'all worked at Google? I'm fascinated by the internal processes that would lead to something like this happening with no warning for any of their users. Everywhere I've worked before someone would be like "hey we

The use of the term "bigger" here is frustrating. Mass or volume?

We're rarely under any obligation whatsoever to be kind, or empathetic, or caring, or socially conscious. Nonetheless, I aspire to be those things. So if I were writing a JPEG encoder, and I'm picking a test image, I could: 1. Use

Lena has said, in the linked video, that she would prefer her picture stop being used in this way. That ought be a sufficient condition for us, as developers, to stop using it. I'm distressed to find comment threads here are talking ab

Did you watch the video? She said that she would like to retire from having her picture used in this way.

Okay. Same question I asked elsewhere in this thread; care to make a prediction about a problem that won't ever get solved by an LLM? We know they can write essays, create art, write code — what's something they'll never do?

Your argument is that my brain is more energy-efficient than ChatGPT, therefore... ChatGPT is incapable of "understanding"?

I dunno - I hear what you're saying about how it seems to lose track of things over long conversations. But part of the mental machinery that it lacks is the ability to learn from those conversations and insert new ideas into its base

Sure, I think buy this interpretation. As long as we can agree that bogosort and quicksort are both still sorting algorithms. My brain definitely has some structures that are useful for me understanding the world that are more immediately u

ChatGPT's attempt: https://gist.github.com/iameli/d9a5b715ec9baa5b11063888e054d... Are those two responses enough to say it's invented a language? Probably not. But it's already farther along than I woul

I can't claim to understand everything my brain is doing, but accepting input and filtering it through a bunch of neuron chains to result in some kind of output sounds like "statistical analysis" to me. You seem convinced tha

People seem so convinced of this and I just don't get it. I'm seeing this comment through my eyeballs, generating some pertinent text in my brain, and outputting it back out. But so many people seem convinced convinced this proces

I thought this too until the most recent xkcd book taught me that if a black hole is big enough it's actually possible to pass through the event horizon without getting torn apart. It's a question about soup. Good stuff.

And so ends my daily use of Twitter. I still haven't been able to get into Mastodon in the same way, but if Ivory is as good as Tweetbot was it might bring me around.

I started using Firefox as my daily browser when the Firefox Photon redesign launched and reluctantly switched to Brave when they removed it. RIP to the best looking default browser skin of all time.

How am I _operating_ it? I deployed a smart contract and walked away. If I don't leave myself a backdoor, there's literally nothing I can do to prevent anyone in the world from interacting with the contract. Everyone that runs an

Using it to actually launder money would be illegal, sure. What crime am I committing by deploying the contract?

I'm not, like, against the idea of sanctioning North Korean hacking groups. But the regulators here aren't really prepared for the crypto endgame. I could clone Tornado.Cash's contract code in half an hour; would my new deplo

Generally when a product doesn't work for half an hour every day, with no acknowledgement from support or fix, I would hesitate to use the word "premium." I've also lived with 12 Mbps DSL; at least it was rock solid 24&#
