Ah you're totally right! That's S05E10; I adore that show so I'm peeved I'd forgotten. Agree on the Nostr point. Apparently it stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays" - sort of cute.

It’s kinda interesting seeing what, IIRC, was originally a subreddit name which spawned from an AskReddit thread, is now a common marketing phrase in the tech world. Similar to the sub itself, it’s now just shorthand for “describe using the

I think it’s unlikely they made that typo deliberately. Similarly, I don’t think you were intentional in misspelling miscapitalization, I figured it was an honest mistake. Is this deliberate miscapitalization thing a behavior you often enco

No, they’re talking about LLMs - they’re a different technology from search engines.

Sam was a pretty awesome guy. There’s a real sincerity and earnestness to early Simpsons which came from the vision you’re describing. He left the show after only 4 seasons, but I like to think his influence on the writing was a big contrib

I think a bit of the aggressive denialism comes from sour grapes that American society’s best hope for UBI came from capitalists in tech instead of progressives in policy. UBI used to be a bit of a funny reddit pipe dream. Now it’s a seriou

I get the impression the author may not have made it to the end of the book where a lot of these positions are better addressed. I can take out my copy and explain better later today, if it’s interesting.

I think when you're hoping to get hired for a professional role, it's worth taking 30s to proof-read your post. Respectfully, if I received a cover letter with the same sort of prose and grammar I wouldn't be considering the

In this case, the phrase “consumer protections” is almost insulting when the things it’s supposedly protecting us from are a triviality compared to the horror show being introduced.

A minute ago I had an HTML doc I wanted to share with a PM. It was a Claude prepared demo of a hypothetical feature. Lots of screenshots. I ended up just embedding them directly in the HTML as base64 and sending him a 15mb file, but hypothe

I didn’t realize this! I’d love to see an opinion poll on the topic, I imagine people’s opinions are going to change depending on the implementation. If the pitch is “you won’t even notice it unless you’re drunk” then I’d imagine you’re rig

Governments have a monopoly on violence, companies generally do not. This fact alone makes the comparison you’re trying to make pretty silly. You have far, far more to fear from the country from which you’re a citizen than the company for w

Yeah that's the weird thing with GPTZero... It claims "99% accuracy" when, IIUC, that actually means "99% of the time we won't incorrectly flag a human written post as AI." It's an extremely easy fence to

A lot of restaurants in Korea and elsewhere have replaced human cashiers with touch screen kiosks. You’re given a number, someone calls it out when your drink’s ready. For the places I went to it worked just fine. Did you have a bad experi
