You can't even save user preferences (like language or other settings) without showing a cookie banner. Edit: I was mistaken. You can't save inferred preferences, but can save explicit user-saved options. And for a serious website

Aggregated analytics do, and you can't run a serious website without some kind of analytics. Preference-storing does as well, despite any reasonable user expecting that, if they set a preference, it will be saved.

"I didn't read it," sure. But, "A reasonable person would not read it?"

I've found Gemini to be one of the better ones as far as disagreeing.

Even if it weren't lighter, it might be faster to set up and take down.

Agreed, that was a great line. The whole comment made me wish I could upvote more than once.

Literally a true statement, I guess.

And in fact, a significant subset of users will pester you to make an app, even if your website can and does do everything an app could do.

Yeah, I mean obviously. Who among us hasn't received a casual £5M from friends now and again? Why would it have anything to do with his political campaign?

Same reason as always. Someone found it interesting and submitted it. Others found it interesting and up voted it within a period of time.

The thing I've been struggling with recently is how to sign off. When "Thanks" isn't called for, I always feel awkward using any of the standard sign-offs, like "Cheers", "Best", "Regards"..

I like a fair bit of what the EU does, and in the past they've been behind some significant advances in vehicle safety, but boy do I hate most of what's coming out of there lately as far as driving . All these driver "assista

I once accidentally got a version of this. Was asking it to change the wheels on a picture of a car, and provided a link to the original image. I guess it was blocked from accessing the url, but it assumed that it could and generated a rand

Isn't that kind of good then? It's probably valuable for the public to know that this is how he sees himself.

I honestly feel like that's a counter-example. With AI he'd be tweeting some other nonsense. It's not like anyone saw the image and thought he actually was orange Jesus.

And this is mostly thanks to the oil sands. Will that always be the economic engine it is today?

I'd hoped this would be a post about Giro Galoppo, which is a fantastic little board game if you have kids (and can find a copy). It's easy enough for small children to learn, but the mix of strategy and luck is such that an adult

I expect the more significant concern would be OpenClaw opening your front door for someone else.

This is a reference to RJK Jr's pronouncement that Trump has a "different way of calculating percentages". Seems apt to me in this context.

How is it an anomaly? Global stocks go up (or at least have positive total return) over time on average because companies produce value. Ultimately it's true that that money has to come from somewhere, so you can say printing it is mon

Do you think carrying a gun gives the child soldier power to change his circumstances? It's a problem of organization and collective action, not lack of arms.

If they wanted it to persist, why would they give up a portion of their income to end it? Are you suggesting the 40% is just more honest than the 60?

Their point was that violence is sometimes justified, using the French Revolution as an example. I'm pointing out that the FR wasn't just a matter of "killing the rulers". Many, many people were killed. It wasn't su

Are you familiar with the details of the French Revolution? Some of the eventual outcomes were indeed positive, but a lot of what actually went on was pretty horrific.
