Bluesky has a default feed that is just the posts/reposts of the people who you choose to follow, in reverse chronological order.

No need for an algorithm to decide what is worth seeing.

Hmm… this started as an admonition for using then and than interchangeably. I see folks get it wrong unintentionally a lot… then i re-read your parenthetical and pulled up etymonline and had my mind blown a bit.[0]

Seems everything old is new again.

Because it’s just fancy auto-complete.

Yeah, but a $5 VPS won't suddenly surprise you with a five-figure bill.

Also, let's see if we can get the power and compute requirements brought down. Having to spin up a gigawatt power plant to achieve the same intelligence we humans power with sandwiches is a futile approach, imho.

Pilot Unions should go on strike until ATC is properly staffed at every level, since Regan made it illegal for ATC themselves to go on strike.

Oh, and I forgot to mention the ironically-named (so much of their stuff is ironically-named…) “SAVE” Act, that’s set to disrupt the process even further by having “AI” purge voter registration rolls.

The ones where they’re going to send brownshirts to intimidate voters in blue states? The ones they’re going to try to disrupt like Dallas County last night? The ones they’ve trying desperately to Gerrymander to lock down their dictatorial power? Those elections?

It really feels like they’re trying hard to change the rules so that they’re the only ones who can win, to be just like their idol/puppeteer in Russia.

And it feels like an external intervention is one of the only things that may help.

SpaceX also has a nepo-billionaire’s disposable hobby budget, while NASA’s has been cut to the marrow.

The first 17 of those are all variations on “make words”. :P

First Time NASA did that was how we got Apollo I and lost three astronauts.

They learned a few lessons, but then 1986 they let “getting things perfect” slip a bit more. It’s happened a few times since.

Personally, I’d rather not lose any more astronauts.

It’s 5am on a Saturday. What millions of actions do you suggest, O just-as-wordy-yet-holier-than-thou HN commentor?

Okay, if you have big actions to show off, then show us how it’s done.

You step up and start shooting at the heartless monsters running the first (US armed forces) and second (ICE) most well-funded militaries in the world. Go ahead. We’ll be right there behind you.

(Yeah, I’m burning some hn karma for this, I imagine.)

Why create Windows when MacOS exists?

Why create Linux when UNIX exists?

Why create Firefox when Internet Explorer exists?

Why Create a Pontiac when Ford exists?

Why do anything you think can be done better when someone else has done it worse?

jachee — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 17:31:08 +0000

The entire reason "storage vendors prefer" 1000-based kilobytes is so that they could misrepresent and over-market their storage capacities, getting that 24-bytes per-kb of expectation-vs-reality profit.

It's the same reason—for pure marketing purposes—that screens are measured diagonally.
