Read it somewhere: "LLMs are only good at solving "needle in the haystack" problems. And can do this reliably only if we have a clear and immutable definition of hay and needles. And only if the haystack contains exclusively needless and hay."

What the Internet Was Like in 1998
It's 1998, the middle of the dot-com boom. Portals are advertising on TV, web developers are fighting browser companies, Microsoft and Amazon are gaining power, and Netscape is going open source.

We want to give Polypane (polypane.app) and Bits&Letters (www.bitsandletters.com) a huge thank you for their annual support. Individual contributions are really generous, but orgs can afford to give more and will be the difference in us doing this stuff full time.

Question for today: Why am I paying for a service (Spotify in this case) and be fed AI slop? I want to burn things to the ground. And I'm sad I'm also very much the minority that complains about this BS. Mofos gotta burn in hell.

How did Google's illegal ad monopoly work?
I dug through the ruling that declares Google an illegal monopoly. I explain the ad market and outline the ways the court accuses them of acting anticompetitively.

What If We Made Advertising Illegal?
What if we banned all advertising? Not regulate it—abolish it. This proposal would transform manipulation machines, and maybe save democracy itself. A thought experiment worth considering.
