wise_young_man··on Tool book of a Nuremberg knight from 1505
In ways it does though. There are telltale signs of AI writing that once you see it across sites repeatedly, it starts to be annoying to find.

Couple of immediate examples:

- The Codex has 154 pages. 127 of them have been reviewed, 27 not yet. - Each of the 154 pages gets a page of its own.

If an author doesn’t have time to write. Why should I give up my time to read?

There’s an argument to be made if divorce was easier than more people might get married when they are less serious. My view though is make it harder to get married and easier to get divorced.

It’s sad to you that they have a life outside of work?

If AI takes all the jobs and consolidation of wealth continues it’s not an unlikely outcome. No income no spending = dead economy, poverty and starvation.

What are do people do when their government and capitalism fails them?

wise_young_man··on Brain has five 'eras' with adult mode not starting until early 30s
It’s a lot more complicated financially for people. You used to not have to rely on dual incomes just to survive. Wealth inequity, housing affordability, and healthcare have all changed. This is why many are choosing to have kids later in life or not even at all because of those reasons and even the environment with climate change it’s a hard decision to make to bring new life into this world to suffer in it.
wise_young_man··on This website is hosted on Bluesky
I guess bsky.net and bluesky.net were taken. What’s weird is why ICANN allowed .network TLD at all when .net already existed, was shorter, and meant for that.
wise_young_man··on The ACF plugin on the WordPress directory has been taken over by WordPress.org
Last I checked Automattic is a privately held for profit company. One could argue that it’s a private equity too. Just using different words to twist a narrative.

How can you use the trademark defense after over a decade of non enforcement? They and others in the space are highly likely covered under fair use.
wise_young_man··on Filed: WP Engine Inc. v Automattic Inc. and Matthew Charles Mullenweg [pdf]
Matt why are you only targeting them? Trademark must be defended against all not just one. Do you really believe they are the only ones? Are you going to go after everyone next?

Respectfully given the timing of waiting over a decade to use the trademark approach, I think your actions are going to destroy everything you worked hard to create. I hope you soon reflect on the domino effect this will have in time.

Matt. You are rich. What is behind your motivations here? You seem to be very candid and passionate about this but I must be missing something. Why spend your time doing this? What’s your end goal?
wise_young_man··on Nearly 2/3 of Home Listings Have Been Sitting on the Market Longer Than a Month
Is there a way to add in another data point with this for new home construction cost to look for correlations?
wise_young_man··on Nearly 2/3 of Home Listings Have Been Sitting on the Market Longer Than a Month
I sometimes agree with this theory, however in practice the past few years have shown us that interest rate increases have little effect after all. People were predicting that interest rates would crash the housing market and nothing significant happened.

All of the input costs to new construction go up over time (labor, materials, licenses, services) and new home pricing has an anchoring effect on the existing home market.

wise_young_man··on Minimum Wage Clock
Try avoiding Nestle. It’s sadly near impossible.
wise_young_man··on Minimum Wage Clock
Money is power and the supply is finite. The disproportionate amount of money that CEOs make compared to the average worker is basically enabling modern day kings when you factor in political influence of money. It’s what is fueling continuous wealth inequality levels which keep being broken.

> It would be a trivial change.

My favorite line in the tech industry.

wise_young_man··on Never Ship on Fridays
The thing is that the one roof doesn’t affect all your entire customer base. That isn’t quite a fair comparison to make due to the nature of software scale, but I can relate to the sentiment.

Ads are not illegal. Spam is regulated by laws like the TCPA for sms and CAN-SPAM for email.

wise_young_man··on We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam to return to OpenAI as CEO
Maybe it’s a cross post.
wise_young_man··on Rivian R1T is the first EV to win the longest off-road competition in the US
What does this have to do with them winning a contest? It comes across as argument baiting.
wise_young_man··on Amazon reaches 10k Rivian electric delivery vans in US
The Rivian one was designed for Amazon specs. The Ford one is half the cost of a Rivian R1T. This is simply price economics. Amazon wanted to maximize space for packages, not batteries. They have charges at their warehouses and these are charged likely at night for off peak rates.

If we are talking about just an ambulance, the range could get higher, but there are diminishing returns eventually for a giant square so it probably needs an aerodynamic redesign.

wise_young_man··on So Long, Twitter and Reddit
This looks like a really cool project. Is it open source?
wise_young_man··on Amazon Cuts Dozens of House Brands as It Battles Costs, Regulators
Why should they not be able to do that since it’s their platform and store front? Should Walmart not be able to position Sam’s Choice before other brands?
wise_young_man··on CNET is deleting old articles to try to improve its Google Search ranking
This is not correct. It’s up to the server, controlled by the application to send that or other headers. Similar to sending a <title> tag. The headers take priority and similar to what another person said they will do a HEAD request first and not bother with a GET request for the content.

It always is a coincidence isn’t it. Isn’t that unfortunate.
wise_young_man··on Microsoft forked MIT licensed repo and changed the copyright [fixed]
A simple solution prior to writing to a file in this case is to check if it already exists. It shouldn’t matter what triggers this bot if it’s programmed safe and idempotent.
