A Samsung TV did this a few years ago, story on Reddit and HN.

It found an open passwordless WiFi and connected to it.

Booksellers “carry” utter shit.

Guess what they do when the book is refunded by the publisher due to bad sales? They cut off the covers and send them back as proof. The pages are destroyed. Nobody bats an eye.

No publisher or bookseller wants to carry 50000 copies of Joe Bob’s “How to cook maggots” when it flopped

Also how do you know if my fanfic is a physical book sold at a store or not? 😀

Rare doesn’t automatically imply valuable, useful or anything like that.

My Anthony Fauci x Drowsy Don fanfic is “rare”, but nobody including me would bat an eye if it was destroyed.

Jackass and Merge Mansion

Would be a weird ass combo

Beginning February 1, 2027, creators who have 10 million qualified Shorts views over the last 90 days will be eligible for ads and subscription revenue sharing on Shorts.

3.3 million views a month isn’t exactly new creator levels

How can they suck that bad? A 29€ raspberry pi with a basic ML model can get 90% accurate results

Was (and still is) one of the definitive sources for software dev information

Also the older posts in https://blog.codinghorror.com/ - the newer stuff is OK but not as good.

Jeff Atwood founded(?) Stack Overflow with Spolsky’s help.

Given that Mullvad is the gold standard for ACTUAL privacy, can be paid with cash or crypto, has no user accounts and has been actually tested by law enforcement and they got fuck all.

What is the alternative? Privacy first VPN, not “I wanna watch Japanese Netflix” VPN.

“For thousands” is a fucking rounding error in services with about a billion accounts and DAU in hundreds of millions.

Big household name gaming companies have devs who burn 20k in tokens A MONTH.

A 50k machine that can run a model locally with 0 monthly costs will pay for itself in 3 months.

Have you tried running a local model on a M series Mac?

It’s always “spoke to” which is technically not a lie.

You can talk “to” a tree or a braindead old senator for example, talking to something doesn’t warrant a response.

Can’t be, it has Willem Dafoe chewing the scenery

The end fight where he slides the clips for future use is chef kiss good

Not just a website, how can a company prove that a “non-American” isn’t using an API?

Yes.

Unless someone phyiscally breaks into my house and steals my server. Which would require a very targeted attack which again is WAAY out of scope in my (and everyone else’s) threat model

It’s not about being nice. It’s about me knowing where my data is.

Of course it is. But if I do it locally it’s just me, not some megacorps wage slaves looking at the data.

Mostly my nerd brain would like to go “what is this plant” or “overlay all planes overhead to my screen” 😀
