You're clearly just jealous cuz you can't handle their drip.

No, half the people died in early childhood and most of the rest lived for around 40-70 years. Agriculture also sometimes made life expectancies worse, even in the year 1900 life expectancy globally was still less than 35.

As long as it's public speaking, and not public screaming, you're good.

Some agent may do 100 queries for 1 user question, but a single scraper bot will do 100 queries every single second of every single day, and costs less to run than the LLM.

The manager of the store says:
"Stop. You know nothing. You have baked 0 bread loaves by hand. No one has ever depended on your bread. You are a finger-wagging "they put dog poo in my bread" type in an era where you hide in plain sight coasting on the moral high ground of baking homemade bread from scratch at home without poo. You can't ship bread, can't adapt, can't even realize that a bread shop is not the place for this kind of attitude."

The free tier of IGDB has a rate limit of 4 requests per second and they will block you if you try to download the entire database, so this may be a dead end anyway.

Found a 4 megabyte dump that seems promising though it's from 2018 so outdated.

Another one, a 68MB 3 year old "dataset" for AI training that seems related to IGDB.

The simplest fix is a delay between an update being pushed and the update being deployed everywhere. Several orgs are scanning all popular dependencies for supply chain attacks and they usually catch them quickly, just not quickly enough when there is no delay.

Doesn't end there

The AI job apocalypse isn’t data-driven — it’s narrative-driven, engineered by people who profit when you’re scared. Fear is the product. Capital is the outcome.

When a resource becomes dramatically cheaper to use, we don’t use less of it — we find a million new uses for it. If that sounds painless, keep reading.

and that quote gets even more LLM when expanded

The AI job apocalypse isn’t an economic forecast — it’s a marketing strategy. We’re not witnessing the end of work. We’re watching the monetization of fear.

It's two not X it's Ys in a row!

Galloway has always been a prolific em-dash user But pre-2023 phrases that strike on the same severity are hard to find ——mildly LLM at best.

2022

TikTok has 1.6 billion monthly active users — more than Twitter, Snapchat, and LinkedIn combined.
The new occupant’s ascent to the Iron Throne was financed with a different currency — not monthly subscriptions or cable packages, but attention. Specifically, our youth’s attention.
Competition depends on rules, and rules depend on umpires. We should fight to protect competition — not winners. Because winners subvert the process

Protecting microsoft from the year of the linux desktop is the intended meaning.

But is it better than ncurses?

Inspect element, surely? See for yourself.

He does have the authority to send whoever operates it a letter asking them to pretty please shut it down. Unlike with regular people however, the chance the recommendation will be followed is zero.

The incredible thing is this is actually the result of an explicit design decision.

The compiler accepts most GCC flags. Unrecognized flags (e.g., architecture- specific -m flags, unknown -f flags) are silently ignored so ccc can serve as a drop-in GCC replacement in build systems.

They're so committed to vibing that they'd prefer if the compiler just does random shit to make it easier to shove it haphazardly into a build pipeline.

I promise that if Sam Altman is sent to (above minimum-security) prison for piracy, I will not complain about copyright law a single time until the day he is released.

Cryptography is hard and programmers are notoriously really really really bad at it.

I have never seen or heard of a single example of a study that would be unethical due to true findings being predictably harmful to people.

These studies are not examples because their methodology doesn't hold up to the slightest scrutiny. They are not seeking the truth in any way.

maybe they were looking for extra special characters like 🁄 or ⶸ. Who am I kidding, RFC 1738 tells us that literally everything is unsafe and you know, we need to prepare for the inevitable occasion when the password somehow ends up inside an URL.

The characters "<" and ">" are unsafe because they are used as the delimiters around URLs in free text;
the quote mark (""") is used to delimit URLs in some systems.
The character "#" is unsafe
The character "%" is unsafe

It ends up with

Thus, only alphanumerics, the special characters
$ - _ . + ! * ' ( ) ,
are safe
