I’m sure they have all the heuristics in Cloudflare cranked up due to all programming model training aggressively digesting their content. Can’t blame them, honestly.

There is no way Google would sell Chrome. But you can bet at least a thousand engineers are working on bolting Gemini onto it right now.

I think pythonic is more important than performance and I would still choose that version over a try-catch block, were it slower. Being pythonic means it represents a commonly understood pattern in Python code, therefore it is more efficient in communicating intent.

Apart from the quote from the zen of python, does this really make your code better though? You will end up writing 4-5 lines with an extra level of indentation. The code does the same, but has worse performance and communicates the intent poorly (compared to the “pythonic” version).

“Now”? Try 10 years ago, at the very least.

The weirdest thing about switching to kagi was learning that the first few results have a good chance of being relevant. I got so used to scrolling down after a search. It was just weird to have the useful results on top. Similarly, learning that search syntax is actually meaningful and respected by the search engine (for the majority of cases).

It is also absolutely 100% BS investor-bait. At this point it should be obvious that we have reached just about the peak of what LLMs can do. And it’s notably not Google’s Gemini even - other models are generally better. For AGI to be feasible, there should be a paradigm shift, which is not a function of more work hours.

Out of curiosity, where did you move from Proton?

Unfortunately the preinstalled old clients suck and there is no way for Plex to update them (this is on the TV manufacturers). If you are otherwise happy with your TV, you can get a better client via a HTPC or streaming box (such as nvidia shield or apple tv). Jellyfin clients might work better on those as well, e.g. you would get less transcoding.

Out of curiosity, which Plex client are you using?

Yes, they had a system where you answered questions about a wide range of topics, and answered what the ideal mate should say, then give a weight to how important that is for you. For example, you prefer chocolate over vanilla, and you want your mate to be the same, but it’s not an important factor. On the other hand, you prefer not to be a nazi, and it’s super important your mate isn’t one either. Also, there were IQ questions which allowed filtering out the stupid ones (like is the sun or the earth larger). Then the system would recommend profiles based on a match score computed from your answers. Really great. Got two relationships out of it, one is going 10 years today.

revolutions are born in monents like these

Holy shit can this whole thing be any more corny? Is this done by teenagers? Don’t get me wrong fuck Musk/reddit/etc. but what is even the outrage about this time?

Gotcha. Yeah that’s a different game.

Not everyone’s cup of tea, but I’ve been enjoying my Withings watches for fitness tracking and everyday wear as well. They look like a decent, non-smart watch. Battery lasts about a month or so.

This invention surfaces every five years or so. Obviously never goes anywhere. I bet the creators are well aware of this and they just want to bait a dumb enough VC to exit with a load of cash.

Not the person you asked, but also a nextdns user: I have a light (in terms of blocking) profile on my router (set up via a DoH address, but DoT and traditional DNS are also possible). Then I have a much more strict profile I use just for my phone and laptop with more serious blocking, including porn filters (recovering addict). I set these up per-device, but later I learned I can do it in Tailscale (which I did).

Maybe you want to, or even have to talk to people who don’t use fedi apps.

Because they don’t have all the things they claim to claim to have, or it’s with significant caveats. These things are publicised to fuel the hype which attracts investor money. Pretty much the only way they can generate money, since running the business is unsustainable and the next gen hardware did not magically solve this problem.

The plugin was an open source, but commercial product. It was forked and its store page was taken over by wordpress.org which unilaterally controls this store. Plugin updates were redirected to the fork, so essentially all users (bar the ones on wp engine, ironically) were stolen. Also, many sites were broken overnight by this move.

It’s a jarring situation, and frankly, I think it goes beyond the CEO being an asshat (he surely is). But I think this whole story shows signs of a mental illness.

Yet, wordpress relies on a defacto central store for plugins, where properties (along with the userbases) of private companies can be taken over by Matt Mullenweg.
