Well, they are providing a valuable service to society. How much money should they be allowed to profit for providing this service?
and there's also the Ivy League grade inflation... https://jamesgmartin.center/2025/11/harvard-admits-that-grad...
The first penguin certainly rewards the orcas.
Same article was written about the proliferation of the Sony Walkman back in the 80s. Same article was written about newspapers on trains. File under “new thing is bad.”
I didn't promote a product. I was showing that low sports radio shows aren't really any better than easy to make AI podcasts that cover the same topics. Just tried and true host personas (the over reactor, the crank…
I mean, not really? I did make it. Thought it would be interesting. Is that I mentioned the name of a company I used?
Evidently I read the room wrong. Sorry for linking to my little project. Good day to you all!
I've used JWTs for a number of server to server interactions and they are amazing for what they are. I've also told many a front end team member to NOT use them.
got any of them mastodon links?
I'm 5'7" thank you very much. That's above average in some regions.

Slashdot's rating system was the best I've ever seen. But I'm sure it doesn't help improve engagement, in fact the system had so many rules (for an online ratings system) that I'd guess it reduced engagement. Which…
Ordered Fire Upon the Deep. Looks interesting.
Interesting, I kinda do this. Sometimes when an LLM solves a problem for me, I have it write code so that I can reuse that exact same approach deterministically(and I line by line check it). Now I have about a dozen CLI…
I'm generally pro "llm assisted coding" or whatever you want to call it. But I do somethings think about the Butlerian Jihad from Dune. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune:_The_Butlerian_Jihad
