It genuinely doesn't matter anymore. All mine lately have been .xyz you can get them for like $1 a year from porkbun.com.

You can tell them you don't need one here https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one/topics/t...

It does need abolishing though.

Well I'm not 7, but I'm definitely interested in that!

Not saying this is what happened but if you search for a domain multiple times, then sometimes the service you're using will register it instead of you, then try to sell it to you at a jacked up price.

"In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it."

I don't think I've ever read so much nonsensical word vomit in my life.

And I say that as someone who owns and operates a bunch of (relatively) successful social media websites.

> The set of content processing algorithms is relatively fluid as new types of content become prominent and new algorithmic capabilities emerge. The set of content propagation algorithms is relatively stable.

This is the wrong way round as well. Content processing is stable, but it's the 'content propagation algorithms' that change a lot of the time.

And using the word 'algorithm' more than 200 times literally just makes it lose its meaning.

It depends very much what you're trying to read.

If a book was read 100 years ago and is still being read today then it's worth a read. Most books written a few hundred years ago are just as relevant (if not more so) today.

Teach them how to write their own.

Don't teach your kid how to use a computer program, teach them how to write one.

You can easily build a toy language model yourself, it will give your kid a massive head start and help structure their mental models for life so they don't view this as 'magic' like so many other people do.

It's not even an Alexa.

But you can get text to speech libraries pretty easily to try it for yourself.

See the breakdown of the bicameral mind.[0] What people now call the 'voice in their head' they used to think it was God speaking to them.

It's probably caused by parasites though [1]

The good news is with regular (real) meditation you can remove the voice entirely.

"It's not about the nail"

People don't want their problems solving, they want to whine.

It helps to start a conversation like this with "do you want me to listen or to offer help"

It's not 'hallucinations', it's garbage in, garbage out (GIGO)

ChatGPT is about as far removed from AGI as it's possible to get. I wouldn't worry about it at all, it's just another tool, albeit a toy one at this point.

Sounds great, I'd like to know too!

Your sacrifice wasn't in vain. You saved me 5 minutes!

Is there a technical name for that 'bubble'?

Like since we've been broadcasting signals out (television and radio etc) and saying they've been expanding at 100% strength in all directions (for the sake of argument) then we have a bubble around us.

And even if we time-travelled back into our past and changed everything, nothing beyond that bubble would be changed because nothing we'd ever done previously had gotten that far out.

Just take the second job and 'work from home' for the old job, what's the worst they can do, fire you?

There's very little content here, especially nothing that would be considered 'senior'.

Interestingly this has just come up again recently with the 'dahl' controversy.[0]

That's weasel word marketing.

They know the majority of their users are going to think 'generally available' is exactly what it sounds like, not their made up meaning.

Just because it's a fact of life doesn't mean it's not a curse.

It's-a me, Mario

Obvious marketing is obvious.

Planet Nine is Pluto.

You see how the entire conversation was reframed from demoting Pluto?

Babylonians knew about the 'tenth' planet, everyone and their mom knew about it. And there's a lot more in the ancient histories to learn about it.

So 'scientists' decided Pluto was no longer a planet, then the 'tenth' planet now becomes the 'ninth' planet, and we get articles like this.

It's easy to do and generates a recurring revenue stream for the app creator.

It's not even in the top 100 of 'right wing' platforms.

See how many times they write the word 'I'?

They've never meditated properly even once. Teacher my ass, these people do way more damage than help anyone.

They could have done the same with wikipedia articles.

> it’s a bit astonishing how good Cloudflare is at PR and community management

It's really not, look at any cloudflare support thread here and how they crawl out of the woodwork for damage control because they failed in basic customer service

it's a huge red flag, and everyone in the comments always sees it.

cloudflare is cancer and needs to die.

Why do they always do this?

It's a dick. Dicks are funny. That's it. Literally nothing to it at all.

'AI' now is just a completely meaningless buzzword.

That's an easy way to track outbound links, they just track everyone clicking on their short links, although that could be said for all those services.
