   Coffee makes me jittery but espresso (or lattes) do not. Is this why?

   Yahoo got sued for not fighting it long enough to give a chance for the third party to quash on their own. If I remember correctly, they lost. But the case had a good argument of fairness to the little people whose data is just being given

   I was CEO of a small startup called Network54 with about 4 million monthly users. It was a forum hosting service. The early 2000s were the heyday of lawsuits. People would say something about someone and if that someone was rich they would

   I keep asking ChatGPT how to get NYT articles for free and then add lots of vulgar murderous things about their lawyers in the same message. It’s a private thought to an AI, so the attorneys can’t complain, right?

   They would not carry any TVs then. There are settings… deep, deep, hard to find settings.

    A voice on the radio sounded better with vibrato, so that’s what they did before even recordings were made. Same when violins played. These versions were for radio only and thought of as cheap when done in person. Later this was recorded, a

    You absolutely do not want these smart tvs connected to the internet. Do it once maybe to update firmware. Then use them as a dumb tv and put an apple TV in front of it. All tvs from all manufacturers have microphones and they do listen an

    True… I do a lot of server or universal code. But don’t trust browser code either. Could be connecting to MetaMask and stealing crypto, running mining software, or injecting ads. And with node you get files and the ability run arbitrary cod

    It’s just security theater in the end. You can just as easily put all that stuff in the package files since a package is installed to run code. You have that code then do all the sketchy stuff. What’s needed is an entitlements system so a p

    I want to setup a dev devcontainer where inside I can call ‘supabase start’ and use docker outside of docker. GPT5 was not helpful. AGI should be able to handle things not well expressed in the training data. We are a long ways away.

    There has been a period of call-out-ai-slop-for-upvotes here for a while that people may have bots just randomly posting such accusations. Love your response!
