Agentic interaction is not deterministic. That's the entire deal.

They built a youtube-immolation machine - but to what end?

yes I would love it

Our school bans wikipedia on their network, doesn't buy any online encyclopedias, rarely buys text books, and tells the kids to "research" stuff on their own - aka google search.

Sounds like other retail systems where lock screen passwords are the store number or similar conventions

Why isn't the brand of cooler or cooler-controller being named?

Was it a password break or an open admin console or SNMP or what?

I think the environment wants to balance itself back to "normal" levels (back under 300 ppm CO2) - like this algae wants to grow super fast, absorb tons of carbon and chemicals, and turn itself into coal or whatever but there is a nasty middle step of poisoning the beaches and killing all of the animals near-shore.

who knew runoff from tons of fertilizer and adding load of CO2 to the oceans would grow plants

what was the okta config error?

I'm not trying to dox myself

someone went in a few days ago and fixed the formatting - although it's still wordy and LLM text-y

I attempted to fix some AI-generated content that I found on wikipedia recently - it had broken formatting, confusing + made-up text, and links on the wrong keywords; just generally very low quality edits.

I made my edits and they were immediately reverted by wikipedia's own AI bot. I gave up.

yeah we have extremely recent examples of this philosophy playing out and people are here defending it. It's bonkers!

lol my defense is still timely I swear!

websites are still made out of content, I think?

Claude still has to write software in a target language, often using an established framework, especially one with a lot of examples.

PHP is, in fact, exceptionally good as a language for creating websites.

when I check out there is usually a button that says "as fast as possible" or "fewer delivery days" or "slower delivery for discount"

stray cats are fixed and have ears clipped in several countries so you have an excess of those tissues hanging around no matter what

If 27/30 meet the bar for "bad" is that an acceptable level of policing speech? 19/30?

Nest/Google also hid microphones in products so ...

Eventually someone is 'root'

Up until recently (and my intervention) my work had multiple aws accounts tied to individual people, where they had inherited a personal account into the billing org.

There are also, in business use, some domains where an executive personally owns the registration but has delegated DNS into the company. There is no written agreement.

A former employer completely lost access to a couple of social media accounts (twitter/$company, etc) after laying off enough people.

hoisted by its own petard!

I really can't stress enough just how offensive "chestfeeding" and similar turns of phrase are to massive numbers of women. It is a very big deal.

These word changes were real things that happened by government policy.

yeah I knew that already - I have a son and it was mentioned as a fun fact along the way

when did this retcon get invented?

I'm not sure if you're kidding or what but the mothers in that paper had 46 (the normal number) of XX chromosomes, a female with a mosaic-type defect containing some Y - successfully giving birth further proves these were female humans.

Harry Potter is the funniest example because it started out being a target of the evangelical "right" and has become a target of the culture-war "left"!

There are more subtle forms of censorship, continuously employed by the government to prop up or push down various things. Covid had many such examples of pressure tactics from the government come to light but I'm sure it happens constantly.

For a specific recent example democrat-leaning states had much stricter and longer-lasting covid lockdowns - preventing free association is a form of censorship.
