  • Download a little offline Wiki for rainy days folks!

    I take connectivity for granted but shouldn’t. Batteries charged, books on the shelf, offline games and media stored locally…

  • I wonder if there’s a parallel universe where the labs instead went to the other extreme and require intelligence tests to onboard to their platforms.

    And the outcry is, not inappropriately, about how many are being denied access to the latest technologies. The policy could effectively be construed as racist, even.

    Anyway the middle ground there is pretty obvious. (Though I’m not sure how I’d design it just right, so e.g. folks without access to traditional/expensive mental healthcare might still be able to see some small benefit if it’s determined to be safe, just like maybe it could be safe for a well-adjusted individual to complain to it about their day for a couple minutes before moving on to real things. Sure I suppose it’s inherently unsafe but a proportion of the population should be making that decision for themselves.)

  • I just tried this with ChatGPT three days ago and there’s a chance they have tried to make it slightly less sycophantic

    I was essentially trying to get it to tell me I was the smartest baby born in whatever year like that YouTuber—different example but it was so resistant to agreeing to me or my idea or whatever being unique/exceptional.

    Hope this is a specific direction and not random chance, A/B testing, etc.

  • Very nice. The screenshots look promising!

    MacDown is pretty solid, but I've been looking at alternatives. Unfortunately, while MarkText may be feature-rich, latency is untenable. I think that one's an Electron app.

  • In 2019, The North Face faced consumer backlash and apologized after its marketing agency surreptitiously added photos featuring its apparel to Wikipedia articles on popular outdoor destinations.

    Edit: they also sent a cease & desist to The South Butt a decade before that

  • I can tell you the license plate numbers of all six cars outside. I can tell you that our waitress is left-handed and the guy sitting up at the counter weighs two hundred and fifteen pounds and knows how to handle himself. I know the best place to look for a gun is the cab of the gray truck outside, and at this altitude, I can run flat out for a half mile before my hands start shaking. Now why would I know that? How can I know that and not know who I am?
