There's a strong part of me that thinks that a model not unlike BBSes with Fidonet might be the way to go. Everyone gets to have their own little bastion of the 'net that they control, filled with their own content (games, warez,

This seems like a "turtles all the way down" kinda solution... What's to say you won't fool the supervisor LLM?

I don't know how to write this comment in a way that won't land me in a CIA black site so I'll just start with a disclaimer that this post in no way celebrates or condones any violence, but I wouldn't be surprised if pol

I would be fascinated to see to who was donating to Sarah Palin's campaigns at the time. In the US, all political speech is bought and sold on the open market. Especially statements made by (most) politicians.

Nowadays spending 500-1000 USD on a machine gets you something that can print almost anything (within size limitations) out of the box with no calibration. The BambuLab printers are nothing short of extraordinary for quite reasonable prices

Respectfully, both of our diets are totally fine, and I don't need your opinion to let me know that. Any biomarker you might like to use tells us that we're fine; our weight is the only number that is "outside the norm",

Hey, that's great! I'm really happy to hear that there are patients and doctors out there working together to use this medication correctly.

> it makes me unhealthy ...then it's not cosmetic weight loss? I don't think we disagree. If we prescribed these medications the same way we prescribe, say, blood pressure medication, I think I would be less worried. When you h

Okay, here's the thing. I Totally get that GLP-1's are absolute medical breakthroughs. But they are a _serious_ societal problem, IMO. My partner and I are both larger-bodied people; both our BMI's (it's a terrible measu

Anecdotally, the answer is a resounding yes. The two major academic communities I follow, mathematics and geology, have wholesale abandoned Twitter in the last several months for (mostly) Bluesky.

A friend of mine who has a PhD in Geology (not exactly a related field, but eh) and is interested in the Voyager program was telling me about this the other day. Basically, it's not that these measurements give us any new understanding

Short answer: because chat is a shortcut to anthropomorphization in folks' brains. It's much easier to assign personality and intent to a chat than a floating head that needs to be 99.999% lifelike in order to not feel completely

I would bet that more than 0% of that perception, at least from developers, comes from how _fucking awful_ the Unity editor is. It's one of the worst pieces of software I've ever used. The games you can make with Unity are absolut

Document everything and pay with a credit card, particularly an American Express or high end Chase Visa or similar. They will want to know why you want the chargeback, but will nearly always side with you if you have clear evidence.

I intentionally don't do this. I leave a line of code half done, a sentence half finished in a doc, etc. The idea is that when I sit down the next day I can sit down and accomplish one thing the moment I sit down. It's shockingly

Agreed. Internet to the whole world is a noble goal, but the internet provider in chief is, in my estimation, a ghoul. The gushing praise is a strange choice to be sure, considering how informative the rest of the site is.

I think you can replace "can be" with "are". If Google, Apple or Meta feel like what you're saying is not in their interest for the public to hear it, you just... can't say it. Apple can remotely disable your i

A not-insignificant part of that deficit though was programs and tax cuts from the previous administration. I agree, our government probably shouldn't be allowed to spend money it doesn't have, but the obvious solution (higher tax

The AI developer is as much a threat to jobs as the self driving car is a threat to truck drivers; a looming fear, always on the horizon but somehow paradoxically never getting closer. For my part, I'm going to keep doing work that is
