Indeed. The best endorsement is done explicitly by obnoxious users.

I use Linux, btw.

Youtube implemented the same sort of thing for channels. If you have a youtube channel and someone comments on one of your videos, there is an AI-generated "reply" that you can click to avoid having to actually think about interacting with commenters on your videos.

The weird thing is, if I commented on a channel and they sent me an AI-generated reply, I'd just hate them forever.

Case against 255: it looks wrong in the graph :(

Case against 256: no 0 or 1 values :(

Considering how important having a 0 and 1 value is for arithmetic in general, I think 255 is better.

I saw a thumbnail on Youtube that said "GitHub is killing open source" and I think the sheer wrongness of the statement surmises the entire idea very well.

There are many things that I don't like about Github, but I think the most important one is that Github doesn't allow users to have multiple free accounts.

You can create as many accounts as you want on Reddit, have as many blogs as you want on Tumblr, and even create multiple personae on Facebook on a single account, but Github doesn't allow you to do any of that.

You can't be a "hacker" platform when you give users less control over their privacy than Facebook provides.

I assume that is a bigger problem when you consider everyone decided to stop hosting their own forum and moving all their discussion to Github issues and Github's built-in forum.

Maybe we can reach there by using integers as fixed point decimals?

It's not called artificial intelligence for nothing.

The harness is vibe-coded.

Replace journalism with AI summaries... of what?

What is the AI going to summarize once journalism is dead?

Press releases, which is what too much of what we call ‘journalism’ summarises anyway.

Why would they remove the ads from users who have proven that they would even pay for a Facebook subscription?
