Yes, that was kind of the point of my comment. Apparently not well made.

Not on their iPhones operating over 5G or the corporate WiFi.

Ok, now I'm tempted to buy BRK-B (BRK-A a bit too pricey...)

To me this feels like being edgy on purpose… “Look everybody, I’m still relevant!”

I switch mine to monochrome mode, it’s quite effective… everything just looks less attractive. I use the Accessibility Shortcut (triple-press side button) with “Colour Filters”, no extra app required.

But isn’t “passively buying the index” still exposed to this, at least if you’re not buying “equal weight” version? Dividend stocks sounds even more appealing to me, I read that as “companies that are generating stable profits now”.

Being great writer and capable of self-hosting your blog is a pretty unusual combination once you venture outside of the realm of tech.

But how will the current crop of “elite engineers” be replaced, when they inevitably age out?

i wonder if you’ll still feel the same way in two years. knowledge decays slowly and the suddenly, at least for me.

“As the digital scan forms of many of those works enter the repositories of AI, the works, ideas and facts become plagiarized and misrepresented. As AI-generated plagiarized text and images expand across the internet’s digital world, the actual voice of human-generated content diminishes.”

Why so complicated? I thought the idea was to rent intelligence from OpenAI.

I’m curious: are you spending on beefy developer machines, or some kind of shared local inference server? Would be interested to know more if it’s the latter.

Even though I agree with other commenters that calling out websites as AI slop based on the copywriting and "generic LLM-generated look" is getting tiring, I can't deny that this was my immediate reaction to it as well.

On the other hand, you being on this comment thread and answering questions competently is a huge boost to the project's credibility in my eyes! But once the link disappears from the front page, only one of these things will remain. :-)

My domain registrar also hosts DNS, and supports dynamic DNS entries. Ticking a box gives me an update URL and a username, which I can then enter into my UniFi router. How is this different?

I submitted an account that sent phishing emails last week, but I’m told it’s basically a black hole and to not expect anything anything to happen.

Cool stuff. I’m fond of the “single HTML file” deployment option.

Sounds like a good fit for a small, on-device model. Can Chrome extensions use the new Prompt API, which has caused a stir because Google pushed it through against opposition of virtually everyone else? (https://developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/prompt-api) Would be hilarious.
