I asked z.ai what z.ai is, and it said "It seems you might be referring to xAI, as "z.ai" isn't a widely known or major AI company or platform at this time."

Wow. I went to law school and was on the law review. That was our precise job for the papers selected for publication. To verify every single citation.

No, the "market" is 6 billion people making thousands of individual decisions daily.

I wonder if he still holds all that in his Roth IRA.

Good god what a meaningless "right" where all of the exceptions eat the rule.

Another nuisance Facebook pixel lawsuit threat

jayess — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 13:12:32 +0000

Just FYI to everyone who manages a website. We received another facebook pixel "wiretapping" lawsuit demand from another bottom-feeding ambulance chasing law firm. This is despite us having a CMP and blocking the pixel for people in CA who don't consent. It just not worth the headache anymore. We're just dropping the facebook pixel altogether. The marking team will have to figure out how to live without it.

New comment by jayess in "Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without MS account"

Unfortunately, there are two things keeping me on Windows:

1) Office (libreoffice is a steaming pile) 2) Fortnite

If those can be solved, I'm done with Windows. I've been a windows fanboi since 3.11. But I'm finally ready to move to Debian desktop (even Ubuntu has gotten crappy lately).

That’s my roadblock. I need Office and still want to be able to play Fortnite.

That Skytalks still requires masking is absurd. I saw the organizers at DEFCON walking around with no masks. The last skytalks at DEFCON a couple of years ago was pretty bad anyways, really disappointing.

"Schreiber acknowledged that the driver, George McGee, was negligent when he blew through flashing lights, a stop sign and a T-intersection at 62 miles an hour before slamming into a Chevrolet Tahoe that the couple had parked to get a look at the stars."

Probably a few million, tops.

Good lord, $129 million in compensatory damages is absurd.

One thing you notice when visiting Florida is that every other billboard says "In a wreck? Get a check! Call Lawyer Ambulance Chaser Jones!!"

New comment by jayess in "Studies suggest a drug-free nasal spray could ward off respiratory infections"

jayess — Sat, 05 Oct 2024 18:59:16 +0000

I do a povodone/saline nasal spray rinse when flying. Then use my navage to clear out my sinuses when I arrive at my destination. Can't tell you if it works, but I historically have gotten sick when I travel and I've noticed a reduction in getting sick since I started this protocol.
