One I've noticed increasing is "cheers". Not the typical use (for my American mind) as a toast when drinking, but as "thanks" or "you're welcome".

I thought the title meant "the era of private libraries is over", but it's really about "the end-of-life of my private library". As a physical book lover, I empathize.

I think I need a browser extension with a button you can click that says "bookmarked!". And it doesn't have to do any thing or store anything. Because I have 1000s of bookmarks and I never go back and use them :)

I think you’re overstating how much anyone knows or cares that Libgen is Russian (if that is a correct categorization). Also, as you imply, the hurt to publishers may be overstated - a download is not a lost sale.

"AI is going to get better with scale" to me says almost nothing at all. It includes anything from we 100x the scale and get 1% improvement to 2x the scale and get "AGI".

I don't know much about the Brazil case, but I think it's pretty clear it's not about "free speech" because he seems to treat countries very differently, depending on his personal opinion of the government in power

They should let you draw a line: the federal income tax rate as a function of income. I saw some options for repealing recent tax cuts, but I want to go back to the tax rates of the 1950s. Actually it would be neat to make something like th
