Same. I don't know if it's the word choices or just me recognizing it as AI and subconsciously feeling cheated.

As an aside, my city FB group(small town, basically the local forum and news) has been absolutely flooded with AI 'flyers', and I have the same reaction. I can't put my finger on the exact reason, maybe the busy-ness, but they're repelling to my eyes.

Luckily after about 6 months of this now they're starting to get heavy pushback.

Gilligan's Island lied to us all. The Minnow clearly wasn't a steamer...

This is what I was wondering, if they have some internal math that says "15% will probably take this offer" targeting a lower number like 10k. And if they overshoot, it's not like they'll have trouble refilling positions in this economy...

> You hold my money” should be enough of a reason to do all in their power to build great web apps

Tell that to Vanguard or Fidelity. Two of the largest 'money holders' in existence, and probably the two worst financial apps I can think of.

I have to imagine that the 3 bit numbers were slots/indexes on the HSM, and rather than actually retrieving the key(or maybe it did), the slot number got used as the key. I can't otherwise imagine how they'd generate such low number keys...

This has to do more with price of house, not HOAs. In Florida for example, some(maybe most?) counties require all new developments to maintain their own roads, which requires something akin to a CDD/HOA. Newer houses typically cost more and bring in people with money, not someone who inherited the house or has been living there for generations.

I could show you HOA neighborhoods that look like a warzone, and beautiful nonHOA areas of million dollar houses.

Perhaps selfishly as I'm not much a gambler, I hate it because it ruined sports. You have a barrage of ads and odds that plague every game at every turn. You have a handful of players already caught betting on their own games, which means there are many more who just haven't been caught yet. And now, every single bad call leads fans to "refs must have money on this game", and to be honest, who knows if they do.

This is something straight out of Rocket League. Completely impractical, but awesome at the same time.

That sounds suspiciously like jart...

Once I was interested in writing SCP(not sftp) on my own. Good luck finding the spec. I happened upon a random Oracle doc that got me 90% of the way there, and even that felt like a rare treasure.

It's my favorite of the new round of languages by far. I just wish it had a bigger ecosystem.

That's what big tech wanted, looks like they succeeded. Hard to shove targeted ads into the eyeballs of people socializing with one another.

I'd say it failed in that it became an echo chamber - there isn't real public to shape. It would have probably been more effective if done a bit more subtly, which makes it scary to realize that 'effective' propaganda looks like open discourse to the average user.

This may be the first cause for canceling someone I could get behind...

I've always wished Translate would have a 'literal' mode, which I find far more helpful to learn roots and such.

Just an example, consider Ausland and it's various suffixes to mean abroad, foreign, etc. Which are fair translations. But it's more helpful to me if it were translated more literally to something like "out (of) country", as it helps understand the parts of the word rather than the whole.

Using Go since 1.0, agree wholeheartedly. Newcomers read the docs and start throwing channels everywhere because why not.

I always ask/tell people to write without channels, and only add them when you have justification for doing so. That leads to much more sane code.

One pattern I see often because random blogs mention it is starting X long lived goroutines, then passing them data via channels, then receiving responses via channels, then handling. In my experience, it's 100x less error prone to just use a semaphore to start a goroutine per data, and have them do their own handling. No channels involved.

That saves 1 click(and thanks for that).

It'll show you updates you haven't done since whatever time period I haven't figured out, but to actually check, from there you have to click 'Manage', then 'Updates available', then 'Check for updates.'

Typically, I have nothing waiting for me in updates, and have to do the above to expose 8 or so apps with updates available.

Outside of that, they keep making the experience worse. It takes six nonintuitive clicks to check for app updates.

The episode is 12 years old. At some point it must be acceptable to stop coddling anyone who hasn't seen something yet to allow discussion, no?

People tend to vote with their wallets in mind more than anything. I think that's why it ping ponged(inflation), and why they're getting destroyed in the midterm polling. The next president will likely have a D next to their name(more inflation).

In cases where the user is not asking the agent to hack anything specifically, but a poor or ambiguous query sets the agent off.

I've seen plenty of cases of Claude having an action blocked so trying tons of workarounds to accomplish its goal, I could easily see it doing this on something more broad.

The important bit to me is that they consider the agent running as an extension of the user. So the user is visiting Amazon, not Perplexity.

From that lens, that feels like users could be held liable for what these hacking agents are doing. Which in some cases probably makes sense, but certainly not all.

Nearly every notification (new privacy statement, new update, etc) defaults you to clicking accept all, even showing you that you hadn't previously checked them. You have to be vigilant with LG TVs, sadly.

The time to unionize was 15 years ago. But the majority didn't want to because they got theirs and screw everyone else.

Now with downsizing and AI knocking at the door, funny how willing everyone is to unionize.

Highly depends on signal strength, too. Having a phone with only one bar of LTE absolutely murders battery life, so that claim is probably accurate in that circumstance.

Oddly enough, historically GM is also easiest to defeat, in just unplugging the OnStar module. No idea on the last couple model years, though.

It still has a pretty big delta, so much so SBD bought the name for nearly a billion dollars.

I think a lot of people realize it's not the same old company, but apparently enough don't such that it's still profitable to sell their stuff at a premium.

It's actually remarkable how long that takes. Craftsman is still chugging along 30 years later in name only.

This is rather silly. Third level domains aren't particularly unique or hard to do. It likely costs about nothing to just deprecate new registrations and keep the existing ones around.

If I had to guess, they're wanting to auction off the second level domains which will likely bring in more money than the rather unpopular third level registrations.

Other than hype, what's the appeal here?

I saw a couple video demos recently, and was horrified that it seemed one had to memorize a dozen key binding shortcuts to really use it. Is that rather common now? I'm just a Gnome pleb who prefers discoverability via UI.
