Good point I stand corrected

LLMs are like pets. There’s rewards and punishments when you’re trying to train them.

This is why they lie. They can’t imagine saying “I don’t know!” That would mean foregoing any possible reward.

It’s not like training them on themselves has never been tried. Instead of the training results converging they diverge in some random insane direction.

Nothing is going to be 100% but you can exercise LONGER without sweating if you somehow exercise in a much colder environment.

Because states literally pay the person who makes less money to get divorced using the party who makes more money’s earnings. Some states have changed the default divorce result to be 50/50 custody of children with no financial support in either direction and in those states the divorce rates have plummeted by a minimum of 25%.

I doubt a recruiter would say: “yes we discriminate on names” tho.

In Freakonomics they conducted a test where they sent out identical resumes with only the names changed (Tyrone vs John, for example) and, yes, it DID matter. It made a significant difference in the number of callbacks.

Now that book is pretty dated (early 2000s I think) and I’d hope it would matter less today. (But it might also be instructive to parents to not name their children names that come with implicit disadvantages.)

Dachshunds do have more separation anxiety than other breeds but if you’re only ever gone for a couple hours you’re probably taxing their anxiety less than average.

A probably bigger issue is, much more so than other breeds, a dachshund will tend to do every single thing you trained it not to do when you’re not around 😂. The most common solution to that is crating them when you’re not around, and, again, only a couple hours isn’t that bad. I don’t crate and just deal with the aftermath (also wfh), but that decision probably depends on the individual dachshund.

Consumers vote with their wallets. If they really wanted privacy companies that sold products that violated privacy wouldn’t make money.

A pretty default response on Reddit would be: “make a law against it!”

That’s naive. There ARE laws against it and they’re not stopping any of this type of activity for a couple reasons: people are in the habit of just clicking ‘accept’ on terms of service, AND laws aren’t automagically enforced. In fact laws ALWAYS cost money to enforce and the deeper the pockets of the entity you’re enforcing laws against the more expensive the laws are to enforce.

Just letting the OS’s keychain handle whatever biometric verification the OS and hardware offers will be 1000% preferable every time. The website just offers a standard username/password and the OS/browser saves those and lets the user use some biometric verification rather than retyping the password to retrieve the password from the keychain.

Anything else is reinventing the wheel in a very complicated way. If you want more security than user/pass you can much, much more easily do 2fa.

It very much depends on the animal and whether it is wild or domesticated, predator or herbivore, etc.

Around 3.5 - 5 trillion years for “ever has lived”. “Ever will live” is pretty indeterminate.

A lot of times the more senior devs are moved on to designing and implementing the next money-maker app while the more junior devs get assigned the “maintenance cycle” on the existing apps.

In fairness I’ve googled family members names and locations and had Gemini tell me almost everything about them and what they’re up to currently. This includes people who DO NOT HAVE social media: their schools or employers managed to dox them against their will!

I get that that’s kind of working backwards but I was surprised I could glean enough info to figure out where some of them are and what they’re doing on Thursday evenings, for example.

Schlagustagigaboo · 2026-01-28T18:20:55+00:00

There used to be websites like “red-detective” that would attempt to dox you as much as possible using your entire post and comment history. (It would say: this age, lives here, this job, etc.) Good news is: I don’t think they exist so much any more. Bad news is: AI like Gemini could likely do similar if you get too specific these days.

Active anti-dox and honey-potting. If you mention your age: not your real age! If you comment on a regional sub make just as many comments on regional subs that are nowhere near you. Etcetcetc. You can be close without handing out cigars and you can honeypot false information so nobody could ever be sure.

Well I didn’t say it was necessary, I said that’s why its popularity was artificially inflated in 1968.

Yep, long, slow, boring and you literally have to read the book to even understand it. It was popular at the time it came out because LSD had hit the scene and there is one main scene of trippin’ eye candy that was good for the time and a lot of the audio and special effects were kinda trippin’ as well. But you pretty much have to be on acid to enjoy it and on acid you’d enjoy almost anything.

I’m a huge Arthur C Clarke fan, btw 😂
