   No, this is clearly not the same guy. This is just someone who took Coristine's previous handle [0]. That post was made 1 day after the WIRED article revealing his handle. Lots of conspiracies around election stealing going round (and

   My mental comparison is someone like Marcus Hutchins [0]. He committed some relatively low-level cybercrime, redeemed himself, and served a punishment for it. That's someone I'm absolutely OK with rejoining the real world. But the

   Have emailed dang to see if he'll unflag it. Agreed, previously I was amenable to the "they're young and smart" (but I'd counter with "not wise") take, but no, some of these people are just actually evil.

   Cline/Roo & Aider with Claude 3.5 are certainly at the better end of AI programming assistance from my (limited!) experience. I do still find it the same 50/50 experience (maybe now closer to 65/45) as GH Copilot: sometim

   He got rid of 18F, a group within the Govt to improve usage of tech (and hopefully therefore efficiency), because of a tweet. A tweet about IRS Direct File, a group that replicates the basic automatic taxation program of other advanced econ

    Yeah, what the fuck do Messenger themes have anything to do with free speech, or company effectiveness? It's a clear signal, along with the moderation changes that allow you to call LGBT+, and only LGBT+ people, mentally ill: Meta, the

    The problem is that these platforms have to be built, and people have to willingly use them... which is hard, given Meta have built brilliant addiction machines. The whole threat here is you can't regulate Meta away, because they'

    Threads is big in the same way that Facebook is big. No juice, as they say.

    I’d rather not respond to the user below (because I don’t have the energy to talk to anyone who uses the word “woke”), but I did find this pre-print interesting re potential Twitter algorithm manipulation: https://eprints.qut.edu

    Indeed. There’s a whole ‘nother controversy on the platform (which the tweet poster is a part of), but that’s far less clear cut than those two.

    Twitch recently unbanned two rather anti-semitic individuals in the form of “FreshAndFit” and “sneako”, which makes this decision all the more perplexing. Do they want to appear as if they are anti-semitic?

    This thread is looking like it'll be one of the first places this incident will be documented (seems to be on the top of Google). Already there are two new users just for this.

    I’m glad this author had an endearing experience. I can’t say that I did. I’d blame “being raised on the internet” as a consistent contributor to a lot of negatives in my life. Certainly, I picked up a lot of the rage from people in the IRC

    I'd assume that's why there is a separate review process to gain entitlement to this API, no? (Don't know how this works outside of the App Store, which is an interesting question.)

    Given that this exists as a sort of defence mechanism against Taiwan being invaded, this isn't so bad, is it? Being within striking distance of cutting edge is far better than being miles behind, at least to my mind.

    All I’ll say about Grozev is read his Wikipedia. A brilliant journalist. He’s in that video where Navalny calls the guy that poisoned him.

    I hear the latest iOS version might solve this, with the ability to keep folders downloaded. We'll have to see.
