Never been to London, got 6/9. Presumably anyone who did this and got a poor score isn't posting, so only people like me who got good scores by chance are represented.

I'm always stunned at how good GMail's spam filtering is, at least for me. I've been using the same email address since 1996 - that's 30 years now - and posting it with absolutely no thought to spam protection all over the place.

I get ~1000 spams per day. About 1-2 end up in inbox. Every so often I do go through my spam, and while it's possible I've missed something, I generally find less than 1 false positive a month and it's never anything especially important.

I'm well aware that I'm in the minority, but I have never been able to focus on anything - especially programming - other than in absolute, total silence.

(Yes, I'm an only child.)

It's really not. As a one-person IT department I'm now able to build things in hours or days that it previously would have taken my weeks or even months to build (and thus they didn't get done). Things people have wanted for years that I didn't ever have the time for, I can now say "yes" to.

Presumably because the school district got a slice of the money from the publisher.

Yep. A public school in NY suburbs in the early 1990s.

Maybe in a post-Soviet country they did. In my school they shredded them so the next class had to buy a new set.

So turn it off.

I'm on Max. This morning, just to test, before doing anything else whatsoever, I was at 0%, and I typed 'test one two three' into CC.

That put me at 12%.

I have no MCPs except the built in claude-in-chrome.

This is clearly a bug.

I was pleased to find that I chose the font I actually use.

It’s nice, but why call it “pixel perfect” when it’s not - not even close? It’s, as you say in the title here, “style”. Doesn’t actually look like the real 95, just has the same vibes.

No. The simple explanation is “cat”.

I’m honestly intensely curious what you thought this comment would contribute.

… they’re not? Who said they are? The article even explicitly says they’re not?

What what is? The article has nothing to do with LLMs. It even explicitly says they don’t use LLMs.

I'm a bit surprised that here in Boston, the nearest museum listed is in New York.

I know someone who works on the voice response system for $LARGEBANK. She says that more than 95% of calls are just to find out a checking account balance.

Funny, it doesn’t look jooish

Having grown up in NYC, I’m well aware. I’m also well aware that the Bronx is rather different from Manhattan.

Same. My assumption, before seeing this, was "ok, I'm going to guess land in a city is worth 100 or 1000x land anywhere else", and I guess I overestimated a bit.

Weird. I see lots of people in that thread have this issue, but I personally can’t reproduce it at all, and I just spent an hour trying.

ok ... but why would you listen to the ad - and nothing else, jsut the ad - for 45 minutes straight? it's not like there aren't a billion other options.

> the equivalent of a broadcast TV channel that only showed 7 minutes of actual TV content per hour, devoting the other 53 minutes to paid commercials and promotions for other shows on the same channel. Almost no one would watch such a channel.

I recently was in a 45 minutes Uber ride where the driver had the stereo set to the Sirius XM self-advertising channel - the one you get if you haven't subscribed. For 45 minutes, all he listened to was an ad for XM.

Most people just don't care.

Yeah, I did that. I think the problem is when there are multiple singers harmonizing it only removes one.

This looks great, but I don't understand what it's supposed to do. I assumed the idea was "remove the lyrics" but of the 5 songs I tried (from Cry Cry Cry, Indigo Girls, and Suzanne Vega), none seemed to have any change from the original at all - it's showing the words on the screen (and the timing is perfect) but it's not removing the singing at all. How do you turn off the singing?

it's easy just /etc/init.apt-get/frob-set-conf --arc=0 - +/lib/syn.${SETDCONPATH}.so.4.2 even my grandma can do that

Do rulings like this actually have any effect, or will the administration just ignore it?

I would generally put “stability” and “quality” as attributes of mass production far more than that of handmade things. Yes, an expert can make a quality product by hand, but MOST handmade things are far more likely to be shoddy. The whole point of mass production was that suddenly you could make a million identical perfect products.

Mine's a weird, bad copy of Ab Initio's DML. https://www.google.com/search?q=ab+initio+dml+language
