Downdetector being down is rich with irony.


Yeah, it actually does change the world. Just not in the way advertised.


Without any info on how they compile the “Top 50 viral” list …
With vibe coding, of course.


Well, back then, I was thrilled that Soyo was throwing graphics onto Socket 7 mobos.


What is this Voodoo of which you speak?


Just in time for the penny to be retired!

I’ve never gotten the point of upvoting or downvoting as the main for of engagement with “social” media. I may do one or the other once a week when I get a chuckle or see an absurd take on journalism that isn’t worth engaging with, but simply clicking an icon is scarcely participation.

Who watches ads on YouTube?


If you truly believe LLMs are transformative, that’s on you. I’d perhaps not believe people going forward, as they tend to lie.
Plus, the “you shouldn’t expect exponential improvement” gaslighting has begun. Like, for the amount of imaginary dollars being thrown at machine learning, where the fuck’s the Brave New World being sold to investors?
