If we want to be really specific about the language, ChatGPT is a product that can integrate web search with openAIs LLMs like GPT-4.1 and o3. The LLMs are not search engines but since users really seem to want to use ChatGPT to search, it’s integrating web search with the
models.

It’s wild people don’t understand what a protest is.

If YouTube/Twitch streamers are any metric, Jai going public will be a big milestone for the next wave.

Any particular reason editing it didn’t work? My thought is finding a theme that inverts well would be most of the work. You could open the screencast in OBS and add an adjustment layer to try out different themes and see what looks good in both at the same time.

After your TikTok on this I got fed the official video thanking Trump and immediately uninstalled the app, just like I uninstalled twitter and deleted my account when Elon took over. It’s wild to me how much people will spin doing the most profitable thing as a win, no matter what the outcome.

Not sure if it’s this but what I’ve seen is two builds kicked off by two commits made really close to one another and, due to various conditions, the later one finishes a few seconds before the first one. So now your latest release is actually a commit behind the most recently completed build.

Wonder if it’s isolated to bluesky or something with bunny cdn. They could have been effected by using the same cdn as some site that was malicious.

Does a high quality mic count? Or at least a field recorder. The fun of a road trip would be capturing sounds I might not otherwise encounter.

“UI mockup” to me means the text is probably about as useful as an indicator of real features as lorem ipsum would be.

It’s also not a consistent marker. Think of all the <user>.github.io as an example. Unless you know the product you don’t know that doesn’t mean they work at GitHub.

I’ve always associated the “bro” part to the ones that are only in tech for the money and gadget lust. Not the ones who invent things that are actually a benefit to society.

Which is made weirder with things like docker, where the "interactive" part is effectively a control plane for a bunch of non-interactive programs. Once I understood that I realized why Ctrl-C will never work to exit the docker context, but it will work to close the programs docker executes for you.

You had one computer everybody in the house had to share. If you add up the costs of phones/laptops for each member of the family, I bet it's much more than $7k on average.

Balatro hooked me. I rolled my eyes at it initially but kept hearing about it so i gave it a shot on iPad and it’s great.

Hah, I just had to do something similar! I was recording a play and the camera had to be in the very back corner where I couldn’t get behind it. So I borrowed a mirror from backstage and adjusted the camera from the front.

Haven't used it yet, but kamal-deploy.org looks like the most promising modern version of capistrano. I'm planning to give it a whirl on a project soon.
Deploy web apps anywhere
From bare metal to cloud VMs using Docker, deploy web apps anywhere with zero downtime.

Can't this just end up in them "selling" it to a new subsidiary of Alphabet like "Chrome, Inc"?

At least as far as I'm evaluating it, it's about proving whether or not a small group can participate in the network without the overhead of something like Mastodon. This may or may not have an effect on success in terms of number of total users.

Yeh totally. It’s starting from the other end. Where it used to be common to host your own mail server and we eventually migrated to SaaS because it was easier, this starts with the service as proof for the viability of the decentralized protocol.
November 19, 2024 at 4:49 PM
Being an open protocol allows for decentralization if someone cares enough. Email and DNS are decentralized but gmail and cloudflare exist, and the same complaints that exist about them will map to bsky. A majority of people using gmail doesn’t make email as a protocol centralized.

Remember that there are 66 million people who voted the other way. The same people fighting for their future are still fighting. We just need a different strategy for the next 4 years.
