Re:My Feed, My Way on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @05:07AM (#49607662)
The problem with being always online is not “not-enjoying” but stopping to think. People are getting used to be feed what they need to think constantly (from politics to product reviews) and then their critical thinking skills atrophy.

Moreover, I’m not sure if being on social media is something “enjoyable” anymore, and it’s more like smoking tobacco where it becomes necessary but is not enjoyed.

Used one once in a rental bike in Berlin, hated it all the time.
The power of contacts, and looking at the initial list it seems it’s a bunch of founders whose startups succeed using Ruby on Rails, so I guess yeah… they owe some to DHH
Not even a distro, it’s a customization of Arch and Hyoerland.

Hope they redirect some of their fundings to them!

No, Israel has maintained relations with the Kremlin and has refused to impose sanctions against them, as well as rejected calls to send military aid to Ukraine.

How many user do the Chinese open models have and how many users do OpenAI have?

Because they want to influence the mainstream outside of their frontiers.

Before Altman she worked for Zuckerberg. What will be next?
Indeed they were.

Also, it’s interesting to note that in both cases they where two very lean companies (Instagram had 13 employees and WhatsApp had 55) with pretty a pretty large and engaged user base (30 million for Insta and 450 million for WhatsApp)

I read it full and I loved it and bookmarked it.

It resonates with my personal experience, and your writing style is fresh and dynamic.

Thanks for sharing it, and it deserves to be on the front page and #1.

> It took 18 hours of work.

So a couple of days plus a few hours. Seems reasonable.

That’s a lovely book collection, if you have kids it’s a a great present covering inspiring figures (male and female) such as Ada Lovelace and Alan Turing.

Or they don’t, and they* sell access to Mythos and successors through their services company or network of partners and charge a premium.

* they, I mean all foundation models providers, as OpenAI seems to go in the same direction

No, it’s not. One thing is to resell an item after you’ve used/enjoyed it and then maybe its value has increased. Much different is to buy an item to sell immediately and making a quick profit.
Well, we would refer to chupa-chups (brand) to the ones with a ball head. And Kojaks if they had gum inside.

Piruletas were the flat ones, either circular or heart shaped.

Pirueta is not lollipop in Spanish, it would be “piruletas” (at least in Spain Spanish).

Piruetas is pirouette, as in what a ice skater might do.

Issue is there are many apps claiming they can do that, and for many people are “magic”.

We should not allow companies to lie blatantly to the customers.

Edit: r/blame/lie/

Curious, why it was easier to use an LLM vs a non-AI app with a DB of foods?

Seems that in this case a traditional approach would be more precise and more environmentally efficient to get to the same results.

You could also nerf your performance at random times and then get good at it again, and extend the illusion for longer.
So a 100% presses red and everyone survives too.
