Naturally I don't know how the Flock search platform operates but this implies to me that this "Reason:" field is a mere formality, after-the-fact accountability (if even that!). If the search was granted based on human…
The thing is I think there will come a time when AI tools will not be as accessible as they are now. I just don't know if it is in 3 years or more, because the market can stay irrational longer than I can foresee. I saw…
Excuse my pedantry but "market" implies a possible audience/demographic to _sell_ to. If a user can't be arsed to sign up for Twitter (an action that costs nothing, AFAIK), what makes you think they will pay for…
That somehow hurts me to hear more than anything. I remember days spent in my youth trawling through Google search for anime fandoms and homework answers. Joke used to be that beyond page 1 is the definition of…
While a lot of people are concerned with local model performance, I wonder how feasible is it now to run a local indexed web search? Surely running an old school Google is possible with the beefy AI rigs today. I know…
<fighter-planes-with-bulletholes.jpg> Survivorship bias is a thing no? Microsoft succeeded despite their organizational flaws. Microsoft produced an insanely backwards-compatible[1] OS despite flawed overall strategy…
I hope the Deutsches Technikmuseum (Berlin) still has that corner dedicated to Zuse. It was there when I visited in 2019. And overall, I'd wager you'd nerd snipe yourself at DT anyway. Not just with computers but with…
Unbelievable! Just this morning I was thinking to myself, hey Github's due for a downtime soon or they are finally getting their act together.
Sorry for the copy-paste from elsewhere. I'm probably doxxing my online accounts with this. 100% my words tho and 100% I stand by this. Really can't wait for this outrage cycle to finally die. There's a lot AI companies…
Is there any indication that Anthropic is destroying books from the 18th century? Even the BBC quote is a conditional. Emphasis added: > "It would be a much more significant problem IF one like that were to be bought…
Ever since someone dredged up this old nothingburger of news from 2024 and made it the latest outrage bait.
The US Library of Congress is already a book depository, i.e., it has a copy of every book published in the United States. Same for the British Library for the UK and Ireland. Similar depositories exist for most other…
So true. This is why I boycott libraries and the publishing industry in general. Atrocious what they do to copies that don't get enough circulation/distribution! There aren't enough pitchforks in the world that can…
> still valuable to historians or people interested in local history. Apparently not valuable enough that they could be arsed to save a copy from Anthropic's greedy grubby hands even after DECADES of head start.
> I really want to know how they landed on this. RAM prices.
Serif fonts in general are more formal (or "stately"). That's because of the, well, serifs. Sans-serifs visually resemble/evoke handwriting because in handwriting we don't make serifs. Try writing with serifs for…
I'm sad for King Arthur[1] who genuinely loves his tinned fish and wants to share his passion with the world. He is a good boi and not part of this trend. I don't really like fish. I watch his videos more for the vibes.…
There is a correlation with average waist size here...
Reminds me of when Oppenheimer released, a bunch of people criticized it for not actually featuring any Japanese characters, instead being relegated to mere dream-shadows that Oppenheimer sees once. It's almost as if a…

I'm less ambitious and I just want a 1 cm blackhole for display purposes, cool thing to show off to my guests. Imagine my disappointment at finding out that I'm gonna need about 10^47 chonky house cats to make a 1cm…
If you're not careful sooner than later you will have just one black hole or, worse, no black hole! In the latter case your neighbor down the street might end up with one. --- Reminds me of my favorite Spongebob…
I thought you were making a reference to Six Sigma and their distinguished Black Belts. Like, who knows what they call themselves today? My apologies to the beautiful people of Recyclon for the unflattering comparison.
> The name isn't really that much of a problem. I know you are explaining in earnest but the way you ended and formatted it is sooo (un?)intentionally funny. Like, of all the stunts Binface is pulling, the name is the…
There is no opposition in this round because it is a total farce initiated by Farage. It takes two to tango and no one else (other than Count Binface) is dancing Farage's Doofus Dance. If Farage wins, he will face the…
