This is an old trick. For example all MailChimp embed forms have dummy inputs that are visually hidden but might be filled in by bots.

A healthy economy is needed for people to be able to spend time with loved ones. People who have to work double shifts or can't make ends meet end up missing out on a lot of family time.

Shame, I'd been greatly enjoying Mullvad and their stance on privacy, but port forwarding is a must for some of the services I run. Anyone have a good suggested alternative?

Colors are useful. There's a reason many code editors have color syntax highlighting - it conveys information and is easy to work with. Most terminal colors in my experience aren't just for "looks", they're for di

If our (US) medical system is so broken that your best option is to travel thousands of miles to a different medical system for care, that's a sign that things need serious change. Medical tourism is the equivalent of treating a sympt

In a thread on Reddit I saw some people who were using ChatGPT as their personal lawyer around some tech issues, and the community seemed to have absolute confidence it was providing good advice. I tried to comment that I wouldn't tru

It does actually render "making people remember to sanitize every input" a poor system, if everyone is forgetting to do so. The input sanitization system could be improved by requiring sanitized inputs, reminding people that they

"As a former copyright startup founder equipped with a law degree and a long-standing career at the intersection of intellectual property (IP) law, media and tech..." Seems like the author was pretty clear to me about their histor

Seems really expensive for just a headless CMS. $300 a month for the "starter" small team pack. Then the extra premium features like $99 monthly just to have access to webhooks and another $99 to track revision history (when oth

A good cookbook can be life changing, a bad cookbook can be near worthless (maybe this is true of any type of book). "12 Recipes" is a book a chef wrote for one of his kids to learn to cook and I loved it. Some soft cooking skill

I think this is a fallacy that I see a lot in recent AI discussions. An LLM is not the same as a human brain. You might see some superficial similarities in both being able to produce a block of text, but the method by which the text is p

I think this is a fine ideal for some websites but not a universal truth. For example I love the plaintextsports.com website and check it near daily on my phone, and it does a perfect job. And of course I agree that there is a lot of bloa

I've been wanting my real name as Twitter handle but someone took it in 2012, posted one tweet and never used it again. Six months or one month is too short and would definitely damage the platform. But I wouldn't hate erasing acc

I've written about this before but I think this is mainly a symptom of the modern education system being based around a perverted incentive system. College students don't take classes to learn; they take classes as part of a trans

I was excited to try it but all the outputs I've gotten feel pretty similar, and it doesn't do many of the things I wanted it to do. I tried things like "make a beat using samples from a telephone ringing" and it wasn&#

I think that a lot of the limits placed on these models / chat services don't do much to remove underlying bias but rather attempt to obfuscate them from the general public. ChatGPT, Dall-e, etc all make assumptions about identity

Effectively taking away API access by charging a huge fee for it is what made me move on personally.

Some domain companies will buy the domains you searched and try to resell them for a premium. Happened to me just a few months ago. I was using a GoDaddy search since it seemed like a useful way to bulk search some tlds for what I wanted.

If it's trivial to implement someone else can just take your idea and easily spin up a competitor, devaluing your idea.

Maybe some folks like yourself thought Twitter was terrible before, but plenty of people were happy enough until certain changes by Musk. Mastodon itself had a large growth recently as people left Twitter in response. I had an automated bo

I stopped watching new Netflix shows after they left too many unfinished. I might consider it if it was a finished series, but it was too frustrating to start watching something, have it end a season on a cliffhanger, and then get cancelle

Using Twitter likes as a "thing to make you feel good about yourself" might give you a short term dopamine rush, but probably leads to long term unhappiness IMO.

You could argue that it isn't just a hypothetical future, it's a trend that already exists and has repeated multiple times over in recent history. Nothing wrong with recognizing that and warning about it ("if you don't

I found this was mostly a problem with school administration. You don't get enough support from the admin to come by and take a student to the office or out of the classroom if they're being disruptive. They want students only i

Not sure what you mean by solutions to education problems being "racist" and not allowed.... Also seems rude to assume you know better about this person's motivation for leaving teaching than they do. I am a former California

I think it's a pretty different case from Google results. Google has definitely been sued and tried in court many times for their search results, but generally has not been found responsible for indexing results as they are not acting

It's also possible GPT-4 is better at writing Elixir since there are less beginners/students writing Elixir code and polluting the training data with bad practice or faulty code.

This is a huge step down from the experience of many CMSes. Controls are limited and don't really work for building a page. Maybe convenient for very small text edits like spelling fixes but not at all a replacement for a more in dep
