That's a big stretch. Allowing intonation to be copyrighted would be incredibly silly. The timeline and intention makes sense but this being "similar" would never win and it shouldn't. Sam should have kept his mouth shut

The board reinstating Altman was what broke the camels back to me. It showed that the board is completely powerless and that Altman is simply a liar.

I used to be an active Quora contributor and that platform is not worth saving. It kept getting worse and worse to the point where it's entire existance is just confusing.

Parsing html is a solved and frankly not a very interesting problem. Writing up xpath/css selectors or JSON parsers (for when data is in script variables) is not much of a challenge for anyone. More interesting issue is being able to

In US those are essentially equivellent as money buys soft power very easily. This whole thing is US not wanting to expand user rights but protect it's soft power and it shows. I think either way this whole thing is a big W for CCP and

Your insurance analogy is proving the exact opposite. More apt analogy would be turning your cars wheels square because it might be stolen. I'd rather have the wheels roll though.

I've never had my phone or tech device stolen in general. This anti theft stuff is a red herring or a distraction from real societal issues. Something along the lines of "sell us your rights and the device that doesn't really

This argument never made sense as it's trivial to verify even for most amateur bot creators. Just pull the public page and check if the comment is there - that's like a single line of code: Selector(httpx.get(url)).xpath("&#x

Reddit still makes me incredibly sad. I loved it. I was there for the first secret santa exchange and all of the historic events and it was amazing. It trully was a unique community and platform. Now it has been completely destroyed. Sadnes

Nushell is really good but the learning curve is massive. I've been on nushell for almost a year now and still struggle to put more complex commands together. The docs are huge but not very good and the community resources are very lim

Twitter didn't have direct competitors other than Mastodon when it was taken at 44B. Now there's Threads, Bluesky and bigger Mastodon.

It's been this way forever because it's not particularly difficult science and is extremely easy to test for so there are probably thousands of papers covering this. Here's a good summary by Baymard Institute[1]. Also WCAG re

FYI the optimal line length is 50-75 characters and that has been the standard for text since the type writers. You don't want to move your neck when you read a single line that's kinda silly.

ProtonVPN passes too which is funny because I'm solving so many captchas I could power an entire captcha solving saas all by myself. So I'm not entirely convinced by this method.

One successful formula I've found is to generate only positive or dilligent content but freely contribute and reply to any content. For example, I'd refrain from complaining on Mastodon about some app update being broken but I

One of the most valuable tech giants in the world is definitely capable of a simple red herring like this. This is amateur stuff. Apple likely has contingencies and plans for almost every scenario and if we learned anything apple email leak

I'd say that MacOS is even worse which is impressive given that Apple has the absolute control of the platform and seemingly infinite resources and could have refactored the mess at any point.

A long time would be my guess but writing interactive articles is much more engaging and addicting. We've started adding interactive stuff to our docs and it is really engaging so the spent hours just fly by!

Here in Thailand it's the same but phone numbers get recycled and expire very aggressively. I just got a new phone number and I can login to many platforms of some 20 year old guy who really likes pc gaming. Phone numbers should have N

They're basically openly calling their userbase idiots to increase the profit margin by 20usd on a 1,500++ usd device. Incredible how we got to this state where the RAM market quality in consumer devices is quickly degrading because of

Yet Apple dares to ship a laptop with 8gb ram that is not upgradable. RAM is dirt cheap but somehow the market abusers make it look like it's some expensive rare resource. Even Thinkpads now solder ram to sell you a +16GB upgrade for 1
