As our daughter has grown older we've had to pair down entire streaming catalogues to avoid Cocomelon like slop. Amazon Prime and Netflix being the primary offenders. While both have some good stuff or the PBS back catalog (Arthur, P

I don't believe Twitter has the ability to do multiple algorithmically driven feeds but its been a while since I used it. I think Twitter "lists" might be the closest thing to it but thats just different follows. My underst

Related if anyone is switching over. I like to run Firefox Developer Edition[0] as my "work" browser, with work related bookmarks, etc. and then regular Firefox for nonwork. This makes it really easy to keep the two separate. I

You have control over what is suggested by the algo, and can make several different feeds - in addition to just a feed of your follows. Rather than whatever "For You" is doing on Twitter these days.

Ah, I'm not much of an AI person so I'm probably just lacking context. Regardless I do think it would be helpful to point out - your second paragraph refers to "the tooling" and that you're focused on "showing

Maybe its just me but I can't figure out what exactly this is. I tried your demo, gave it a Twitter user. And its now generating blog posts in the "voice" of that Twitter user? And this is a tiny first step to... what? I

For what its worth, I can't reproduce this on 15.3 (24D60). I don't have a "Custom color" option. I see "Colors" and I click a Plus button to add a new color. Also I have my system connected to a caldigit do

In case anyone is wondering why someone would pay so much to control their bed temp - I have a similar product the "Chillipad". Essentially I'm a furnace when I sleep and wake up covered in sweet. This thing keeping my bed

The LaserJet was so good that its reputation is keeping the brand alive 30 years later, despite the company's best efforts to flush it down the toilet.

Sounds like this was bound to happen sooner or later. Why was this fool allowed to wire that much money out of the bank - he was only caught when he asked someone outside of the bank to literally give him 12 million dollars.

Why use the cc tld? I'm guessing that choice was made a while back? Unfortunately due to its association with phishing etc, that immediately gave me the impression that the service isn't legit.

I was curious how bcrypt-ruby would handle this. It does not throw an error for input length larger than 72. However the actual API for the gem makes it pretty clear its for hashing a password, and not just hashing in general - as you can

In our case they're more "top of funnel". We make money generating leads. When optimizing purely for signups, we get a lot, but they're not the type of users that become leads. Its really just a google ads problem - w

IMO you see the same issues when you have Google start optimizing ads for user signup. We've had a huge amount of user growth from ad spend. But not really the users we want, for the most part.

I guess its just the power of advertising but its amazing to me that GoDaddy continues to be a popular solution for hosting, domain registration, etc given their absolute toilet of a reputation.

Yes, several times a week. The process of just searching for something and reading SO answers is still just as good as ever.

Ours just opened in 2024 and I've tried to give them as much business as possible. Ordering everything for a new PC build, sans the AMD CPU, and then doing pick up was a breeze. Feels great that the place is completely packed every t

Do you live somewhat near a Microcenter? They'll likely have these as in-store pick up only, no online reservations, 1 per customer. Recently got a 9800X3D CPU from them, its nice they're trying to prevent scalping.

Naomi Klein recently said "conspiracy theorists ‘get the facts wrong but often get the feelings right’" and this is how I think a lot of way too online people are. They've correctly judged that the mainstream news is biased

Amazon lost 25 billion dollars on Alexa (between 2017 and 2021, from WSJ https://archive.is/uMTOB ). Selling the hardware at a loss and I imagine a bigger portion was the thousands of people they had working in that division

I wonder if this data collection is why Ngrok's tunnels are now painfully slow to use. I've just gone back to localhost unless I specifically need to test omniauth or something similar.
