I think it's good that they're setting their sights on something they are likely to actually achieve

Sam Altman went from “AI will cure cancer" to "ChatGPT porn" in less than a month

ChatGPT boss predicts when AI could cure cancer

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

By _adding_ renewables, right?

The places where renewables cause problems are ones with mandates to replace consumables, where they undermine their baseline power generation with spotty/intermittent renewables

Reminds me I need to get my vim setup working again.

And modernize it. It's over a decade old

For every cool (neo/)vim tip or script someone shares with me I will share one in return

n. Is the precursor to refactoring.

Suppose you want to rename a variable: /varname will put you at the start of the next instance. ce replaces the variable with whatever you type.

n repeats the last search and . repeats the last whole edit motion, so you can repeat n. to change the next one.

it's not FOR us

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

Me: My deck was tier 2 until they added Seedborn Muse to the game changers list. Now it's tier 3.

He: I think Seedborn Muse is pretty powerful though...

Me: Oh, it totally deserves to be on there. It was an Aw Yeah moment whenever I got it

I think there's also a content issue.

The story covered in season one was basically How Saitama Got His Groove Back, and going on means treating joke characters seriously, which is much less entertaining

Anyway I'm amazed at the restraint shown by them. The placeholder doesn't even have the IANA logo, let alone ads or even Hosted By links

I'll be honest, I didn't click through because I already knew they were reserved by IANA for use in documentation, so I thought you just didn't understand what I was saying and did not expect that the link would actually address it

Right, so when I type example.com into my browser, does it go to an actual server or not?

I mean, there are definitely left wing groups that call themselves antifa.

Maybe right wingers glommed onto it, but they sure didn't invent it. Just like "woke".

I think that's actually provided by your browser, so it may vary anyhow

Oh, sure. But they'd better be on the ball or they'll have weird behavior that they have to support for backwards compatibility reasons.

Node, Typescript, and Webpack all had problems with module interop in the past, so it's a solid guess that bundlers will have trouble again

While providing tech support for my FIL:

FIL: What's that screen?

ME: The terminal. You should never use it.

FIL: Never?

ME: So you know how I'm allowed to watch you open the electrical panel and swap out breakers, but I'm not allowed to ever open up it myself?

FIL: Ah! I understand, thank you.

Would that even work?

'use client' is some kind of proprietary react magic, IIRC. Who knows how it's implemented?

Suppose you accidentally walked in on a bunch of lizard people with their human disguises half off.

How would you go about telling anyone about this without being dismissed as either joking or insane?

It wouldn't start being a *good* law if it was 13, but it would at least be understandable as eyeroll worthy reactionary policy. 18 is just like, what the actual fuck you can drive a car and have sex but not download an app to your phone?

The problem with reading between the lines is that sometimes you're reading implications that the author absolutely wanted you to get, and sometimes you're just reflecting your own prejudices back at yourself
