Yeah, exactly. You want dumbingofage.com and www.dumbingofage.com to either serve the exact same content, or (more commonly) for one to redirect to the other. Old server redirected to www; new one doesn't.

(sorry if none of this makes sense, I have worked in tech too long and have no idea what anything I say sounds like to normal people)

The old site redirects the apex to www, so I think your one successful result from Virginia was due to it resolving the apex to the old server, then resolving www to the new one after getting redirected.

Sorry if I'm being annoying but I'm sure there's an issue with the new server not handling the non-www domain correctly. Hadn't heard of geopeeker but adding the www there makes the new site show up everywhere for me, which matches what I'm seeing on my own machine (using curl, so no local caching).

With www in the domain it works.

Let the Right One With Big Naturals In

I've been running TTRPGs for five years and playing them for much longer and I got ten skeets into the thread before I had even the foggiest idea that that's what it was about.

In school I saw a documentary with a confidant of McCarthy's being confused as hell when one day the senator started earnestly trying to convince him communist infiltrators were everywhere. Just a couple years ago it had merely been a cynical political move, but that life melts your brain so fast.

Prior to 2022 we didn't need a term of art for "deliberately giving net and filesystem access to a process that runs arbitrary commands stochastically" and now it's an impossible thing to put a fine point on in a clinical context. You can't just describe what it is without sounding unprofessional.

Hey if you use genAI for any reason, even if you think you're doing good, you're still merely engaging with fascism on its side. Stop it.

I know you get piled on a lot about this stuff and I don't want to be a hater, but I think "needs to be perfect" is bad framing.The showcase example contains three significant inaccuracies in six sentences. I don't expect perfection, but "better than a coin flip" seems like table stakes?

Love to review my coworkers' latest batch of mind bicycles

There's a pretty good analysis of what's going on here: nathangoldwag.wordpress.com/2024/05/31/t...

I mentioned I was left-handed and got "Wow, you must be really smart!" in response.

Rendering those human drivers obsolete is what we both want, I think? I just see AVs - an emerging tech not yet super-ingrained into society - as a more tractable problem than regulating humans, and more impactful if humans are going to get phased out anyway. This is a purely strategic disagreement.

I agree on the other part - more pressure on regulators would be great - but that's specifically because we know that Alphabet does not care about the public interest and will turn any leniency we give them against us later.

Proportionality is bad strategy imo. A value prop of AVs is that they're *much* safer than humans. That standard can only persist if the market holds them to account. Eventually AV corps will race to the bottom on this, and if the bar is set at "slightly better than human" that's where they'll land.

AV makers claim their tech can be orders of magnitude safer than humans. But of course they'll end up cutting corners if the market lets them get away with it. I am 100% pro-double-standard on this.

No, I got that! I was just poking fun.

I moved here from Missouri and while the isn't a ton that I miss about my homeplace, the relative lack of greenery in (my part of) CA always bums me out a little. Of course with a few exceptions, like redwood forests.
