It's not really impotent when he's referring to a very specific person who's the head of a religion with 1.3 billion adherents, is it? What is this but a moment when a person on the inside and a person on the outside of the i

It doesn't surprise me but it does disappoint me that even though LLMs have made self-hosted open source tools easier to use than ever, something like this rolls out that's all about partnerships with mega corps. It has never been

Almost 20 years ago, a professor I had in grad school agreed to let me submit my very detailed outline rather than filling in all the text to turn it into paragraphs. It's still the way I write presentations where I'll be speaking

For some reason, I read "LGTM" as "Let's Go to Market," and spooked myself with the realization that that's absolutely the way this is all headed.

Came here to offer this feedback. If I can't see the name of the model, nothing else in the chart really matters to me. I even tried going to the Google Sheet. It's way too important a piece of information not to have it visible.

It is, but not until you actually get into the article. I also assumed the article would be about personal websites until I read it.

But then compare it to the corpus of any of the suspects since the whitepaper publication. It's one thing to sound like Satoshi before the whitepaper, but does anyone still sound like Satoshi?

It's a hard stylometric challenge, just because of its format. The forum posts are probably better for comparison, but what I don't see people doing that I wish they would is comparing what the different Satoshi suspects have writ

It didn't even occur to me that this might not be sarcasm until I read the other comments. Still fighting to hold onto that assumption.

It got extra fun. I tried to talk to the Fin AI and it closed the chat twice without even responding. It just told me I'd have to try again. Fin isn't half as useful as Claude, and if that's not telling, I don't know wha

Well this feels scammy, or at least annoying AF. I tried toggling it on to see if that would make the credit appear, even though I'd never had it on before and never needed to use it, and since my balance was under $5, it auto-charged

I can't be the only one who imagined ants whizzing around the Large Hadron Collider wondering what the heck was happening to them.

I wouldn't say I feel guilt about all of these necessarily, but I do have a list of things I don't like that I would expect "someone like me" to like: - The Lord of the Rings (try being a geeky Catholic who finds LotR

That's a disappointing change. I had a Moto G Play a few years ago (the one where you could swap different modules on the back, like a projector and things), and its battery was really easy to replace.

I don't think we're even seeing 90% now, and we certainly weren't in June or September of last year, which was when it was predicted.

I wonder whether there's a relevant analogy between human languages and computer languages. I've read hundreds of books. It may be thousands if you count the multiple series I devoured as a bookish child. I think my understanding

Wait have you been thinking "keep them on the home row" means any finger not actively typing a key must be in physical contact with its home row key?? This would at least help me make sense of people's wrist problems. Holy co

I think a shockingly high number of people really do type Z with their little finger, X with their ring finger, and C with their middle finger. It's the only way I can explain how they end up that way in columnar layouts so often. This

It's not liberty if you can only have it if the people in charge want you to.

This doesn't answer the question, though. If Dave could cover for you before, whether your computer was a desktop or laptop, it'd have to be at the office. This way...it still would.

At the bottom of each Logseq page, there's a "Linked References" section that just lists every use of that page tag in reverse chronological order. I can collapse any heading if I want. I can review it very quickly and find o

This wasn't cheeky so much as self-deprecating enough that it was important to clarify I didn't actually mean it seriously. It would've sounded pretty dark otherwise.

Do you remember the watches? This was a big thing on watches for a short while in the late '90s, and the cool kids were definitely the ones who could flip the wall-mounted TV on and off when the teacher wasn't looking!

The HTC One smartphone came with a programmable IR port. All you had to do was determine the TV brand (easy if you can see it), then point the top of the phone at the TV pushing the "power" button until it went off. Then you knew

Do you ever use them cross-generationally? I had a friend a dozen years my junior stop talking to me because I used a winking face when I wanted to make it clear I was kidding and he thought I was flirting with him. Never mind that we'

I just use Logseq and put double brackets around my key terms. Whenever I need to revisit a topic, I can quickly review what I've a already learned about it, when, and what else it was connected to. My understanding is that Obsidian is

They don't pay the benefits directly. They pay a tax rate based on how many people who file for unemployment benefits are determined to be eligible for them.

There are lots of places that are "desirable" to a large-enough-to-be-relevant portion of the population, but not as large a portion as the portion of the population that wants to be doctors. And they may like living there for rea

Do you hear how this reads? It reads like you're not going to take warnings about the dangers of government power seriously because the people espousing them are trying to use government power dangerously themselves. If you can't
