malablaster··on Human Or Not: Guess if you're chatting with an AI or a Human
No way. No rules is way harder for bots to win.
malablaster··on Kill Siri (2022)
What specifically are you concerned about?
malablaster··on Pink Floyd, 'The Wizard of Oz,' and me
It’s simply a neat coincidence. I bet AI will eventually discover lots of cool patterns for us.
malablaster··on Eating microwave popcorn increases the level of PFAS in body (2022)
Especially not an agent.
malablaster··on Smart Guy Productivity Pitfalls (2013)
This North American belief that financial stability has home ownership as a prerequisite is incorrect. Consider as a counter example Germany where much of the population rents their primary residence. Germans don’t feel marginalized for it. They save and invest. They raise children and participate in society and aren’t ashamed of being renters.
malablaster··on FAA Requires Secondary Flight Deck Barrier
It would be cheaper to install a two way drawer on the existing security barrier that would allow flight attendants to pass food and beverage to the cockpit and allow pilots to pass their faeces out.
malablaster··on Vintage National Geographic Photos (1888-1999)
This brings me back to the 80s when my sister and I spent hours in our grandparents’ basement flipping though their hundreds of National Geographic magazines.
malablaster··on Anchor Brewing Company ends national distribution, kills Christmas Ale
Some of the younger readers might not realize that Anchor was at the forefront of the American craft brewing renaissance. Back then Canadians would laugh at USA beer as all tasting like water. Only Europe had craft brew. Fast forward to now and the market is saturated. There are more craft breweries per capita in the USA than in Germany. We’re beyond peak craft brew.
malablaster··on Archive your Reddit data before it's too late
Same. I delete my Reddit account, posts, and (sometimes) comments regularly because screw that cesspool.
malablaster··on Google doesn’t want employees working remotely anymore
I went there for the first time a few months back. It’s one of the filthiest, smelliest, homeless cities I’ve seen. I hate it.
malablaster··on Defining a new HTTP method: HTTP Search (2021)
One of the arguments for a separate SEARCH verb is to differentiate between the cacheing needs of POST. Aren’t cache headers sufficient for using the existing verbs?
