Oh I know! It's Fox News guest Johanthan Turley!

The different between Turley and ChatGPT is that ChatGPT doesn't have a TV circuit where it can spread its lies unpromped on a nightly basis.

> Create a platform that offers a subscription service for goat owners to have their goats' blood collected and sold for ritualistic purposes, such as the one mentioned in the comment. The service will streamline the process by providing a vet to collect the blood safely and efficiently, and then securely deliver it to interested parties. Market the service as a way to support and participate in alternative spiritual practices.

I think I'm going to stick to milking them and making soap. Maybe a little goat yoga.

Well that was a giant nothing-burger. This seems to be your standard ranking stack. We find candidates based on who you follow, who they follow, who is trending, and what we think you like. We then rank them based on how likely you are to engage with them and continue to come back and give us money via our subscription service and ad views. We then try to remove spam and other negative experiences.

Where's the beef?

Utah is small enough that some sites may just geoblock Utah. I know if I had to choose between collecting every user's ID ever and just adding a block list, I'd go with the second.

And (T) is a carve-out for the genealogy industry run by the Morman church

Agreed. In my most recent round of hiring, I used the presence of a relevant cover letter as a point in favor of the applicant when deciding whether to invite them in for an intro call. It showed me the person actually looked into the company a little bit and wasn't just spamming. It also helped weed out the spam since I'd get cover letters telling me how excited the applicant was to work at a web3 fintech while we're doing almost the exact opposite thing. Don't get me wrong; I think like 85% of people I invited back for calls did not have a cover letter, but it really helped in the weeding process.

If it becomes an effortless throwaway generated by an AI, it no longer has value. Additionally, you may be shooting yourself in the foot. If I see something in a cover letter that catches my eye, I'm going to bring it up in our call to learn more. Not to quiz you or play gotcha, but because it probably intreagues me and I want to learn more. If an AI wrote it and you don't know what you submitted to the job posting, that's not going to reflect well in a call.

Rule #4: Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.

NWA had it right 35 years ago: https://youtu.be/ADdpLv3RDhA

He just didn't even need to say it. It added nothing to the statement at all besides make him sound like a heartless android who sees people and hardware as the exact same thing.

> garbage collect unnecessary processes,

I may be wrong and he may be actually referring to optimizing garbage collection on their servers, but this sounds like a callous and heartless way to refer to firing 10k people.

I find them to be really useful for simple and targeted tasks. For example, simplur[1] for pluralizing strings and dedent[2] just for developer ergonomics.

I had the exact opposite experience with chatGPT (not Bing) this week. I made chatGPT play stockfish a few times. ChatGPT was able to make sensical moves for the first dozen or so turns, but then it would start to go off the rails, like saying that it was moving a pawn to prepare to castle, which it has just done on the last turn. It fianlly started trying to move invisible pieces or make illegal moves. It also played highly defensively, preferring to build a closed fortress in the opening instead of attacking.

Now my wheels are just spinning over self-shorting funds.

At least it wasn't 1 megakilogram

I used to be quite proud of the 40 MB hard drive on my 286.

Given the current political climate, I would say it's less likely to be because of some start up and more likely to be part of the wider GOP effort to claim the world is full of predators who are trying to corrupt your child's innocence and groom them into sexual beings before their time. They're using the same augument to ban drag and any books the governor's team hasn't preapproved in Florida. We're entering satanic panic 2.

Years ago I fell in love with Anonymous Pro. Everything seems to fit just right. I've never had an issue wondering which character is which nor have I run into missing common characters.

Honestly, this is the first time I've ever heard of m-expressions. I know of Wolfram from Mathematica and he has HUGE credit in my mind for building that.

@dang Would you mind telling us what opinions about which famous people we are not allowed to express becacause they are too tropy? It would greatly help in the moderation of this site.

However, it could be that common opinions about authors are not tropes but warranted. In the first decade of my exposure to Stephen Wolfram, I was in awe of his intelligence. Mathematica is a wonderful tool and its step-by-step explanations of proofs are fantastic. I thought his approach to computational systems was mind-blowing.

Then I leaned more. I saw that much of his work was built on the backs of giants. His cellular automota are simplified versions of what Conroy worked on. Don't get me wrong, Wolfram formalized 1D automata in his own works, but it wasn't revolutionary. He didn't "discover" these features; he built upon the works of others.

My biggest critique of Wolfram is that he will come up with SOME new interpretation of a physical or computation phenomenon and claim that it is THE ONE TRUE INTEPERATION of how the world works. He feels like hubris personified.

But to simplify it, I think he is a smart person who often posts self-congratulatory things and I don't thing it's wrong to call him out when his writings are full of fluff.

This is the feeling I have every time I read Wolfram's writing. It seems deep when first approached, but is ultimately a superficial rewording of established knowledge.

When I was writing my thesis I had one rule that kept me going: one page a day. Every day I had to add at least one page to my thesis. It could come from text or charts or a table or the bibliography or wherever, but that page count had to go up every day.

Some days, I added a paragraph that spilled over onto the first line of a new page and that was that. Other days, one page became five became 20 as I hit a rhythm. It was always about giving myself that chance to hit it off for the day.

I had to read that section three times to make sure I was parsing all of the involved parties correctly. You know you've lost the argument when you defend your client by saying they're just acting as the mob would.

Is this what passes for new, disruptionary journalism these days? That felt like a half-researched blog post and added zero analysis or context. It was basically a string of unconnected tweet-style factoids.

Kindred by Octavia Butler.

I've been making my way through all of her other works for the past few years. I've read the Xenogenesis trilogy two or three times. Her works speak to me about the human condition in ways very few authors have been able to.

Kindred is her last remaining work I know of that that I have not read. I've been purposefully saving it for last and it feels like now is the time.

This sounds like something worth giving a shot. I'd love to see how other companies grew through the same technical challenges I'm seeing now.

That said, I didn't see a way to easily subscribe to it without first signing up for an account. I looked for an rss button or feed, but no luck. Searching for it in Podcast Addict does not return it. Is it available outside of Spotify?

For layout work, I highly suggest https://flexboxfroggy.com and https://cssgridgarden.com. You'll end up with a strong understanding of both display: flex and display: grid. Once you know how to (ab)use these, much of modern css just drops out.

Sure, but he's not your buddy, guy.

I have 5 goats. I milk 3 of them. Right now, I'm getting very little milk because I'm in the final process of drying them off so they can give birth in 3 months. I'm currently milking about 2 pounds total from them every 3 days. When they're at full production, I get well over 3 lbs per goat per day.
