So you scanned it with your own vibe-coded security app?

I think companies that don’t even acknowledge your application also need to be in this list. Most companies ghost at the application level.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

Seriously though. I get financial stability is something a potential mate might want from a partner, but if that’s the only thing making them consider someone trying to court them, I see an unhappy marriage and divorce soon coming.

I can't read your article, my dude. Seemed kind of interesting.

Alphabet dropped “don’t be evil” from its moto in 2015. This guy went in knowing how the sausage was being made.

I would have imagined the latter to be larger. What does this mean for PayPal if a video game company takes it over?

This lady sounds like a real piece of work. Communication is not in her vocabulary. She also has some Disney level over-romanticized perspective of love.

There's a direct line between ideology and human genocide. Just look at Nazi Germany.

"Good intentions" can easily pave the road to hell. I think a book that quickly illustrates this is Animal Farm.

That’s a pretty limited way of looking at the world: “Why would someone only do x instead of y?”

Part of learning to understand others means developing cognitive flexibility.

I had a similar experience at Apple as well, except I took the punches for almost 4 years--you can take more punches when you're younger. I feel like a little bit of my soul died there.

If you’re passionate about this idea, launch it! Your initial costs will be on the low end. If it does grow to the point you need to worry about costs, that’s a good problem to have which you can then handle appropriately at that time.

> He was seen as a power broker who moved in elite circles and whose legal work often pushed ethical boundaries

I have always wondered what drives someone to enable elites who tend to so destructively prop themselves in society at the expense of others. Surely it can’t be only money or power? So is it influence alone?

I looked into creating a simple Firefox extension for ChatGPT which would let me branch a conversation off into a new chat so as not to "pollute" or interfere with the existing chat.

I had success extracting the existing conversation and adding it to a new window, but gave up after trying to modify the ChatGPT UI (i.e. to format what I'd just pasted in so it'd look like the conversation left off where I branched). The UI just kept re-rendering/re-painting itself non-stop, overriding what I changed. I didn't try to push past that. I'm sure I could use JS or something else to massage the UI further, but it didn't seem like a non-trivial task. Maybe something to look into some weekend.

New comment by lulzury in "Elon Musk Promotes Tweet Calling for 'Republic' Run by 'High Status Males'"

lulzury — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 02:45:46 +0000

If you're someone like Musk, then attention is one of the most valuable assets you can get. If you can capture someone's attention, you can influence their thoughts. You can shape their perceptions. Even if what you share is outright false, once an idea is planted it becomes part of someone's mental landscape and with enough effort even their reality. Musk's acquisition of Xitter, supposedly in the name of free speech, and its degradation into a cesspool of violent, right-wing extremist, and downright pornographic posts gives a hint of just how Elon wants everyone to think of the world (even when it's not like that).

After blocking like 1000 accounts and adding tons of words to my mute list, and seeing the same crappy timeline, I finally just deleted my account and joined Bluesky. Browsing Bluesky honestly feels like a breath of fresh air.

i.e. you did not get enough sleep, you are feeling sick or just feeling tired

What is the inherent value Verisign offers here? Is it hosting an entry for my domain in a database somewhere that someone can lookup using DNS?

And if so, why can't we just solve that problem using some sort of decentralized solution?
