Your musing about 2-way links reminded me of the short-lived "webhooks for backlinks" trend, which didn't last long before spammers found and abused it.
The idea was that you had a well-known webhook location, and when people linked to your blog post, they'd ping your webhook with their URL, and you'd display it under your blog post as a "backlink".
If that's obviously a way to inject marketing spam you'd be right, but I swear this stuff got quite popular before being overran.
Unfortunately google is now so bad, it's impossible to find genuine history of the phenomena I'm describing, so I just have to trust my memory that I'm not inventing a past that didn't exist.
Die is singular, dice is plural. 1 die, 2 dice, 3 dice, …
It used to be something people were corrected on, but these days dice is accepted as the singular too and die is starting to be seen as a little antiquated.
LinkedIn: I want to keep this private so my current employer doesn't know. Just contact me and I'll send you. Or get it from the cv. Thanks for understanding.

I have a domain.tld with MX to Purelymail and a duplicate MX record also for a sub.domain.tld. New account registrations get example.com@sub.domain.tld (and a unique password/phrase using EFF Large Wordlist and generated in KeepassXC (so not real diceware, I think, despite the little icon of a die)). Random other things also get similar ad-hoc addresses as needed. All of the addresses already theoretically exist; all mail for *@[sub.]domain.tld routes to my super trendy and cutting-edge three-initial-username catchall mailbox.
I don't know your situation, but a whole domain just for friends and family to send mail to each other seems somewhat overprovisioned. But maybe you have a large family and a lot of friends, and maybe you all still email each other a lot.
> Is it worth running a Gmail . . .
I wish it weren't useful or necessary, but it seems to be somewhere between those things. I'd like to be able to ditch them entirely, but there's still regularly some utility to the "main", the "main real-name", and the half-dozen or more "alt/'anon'/junk/slush" Gmail accounts I made years ago (can you even still get away with that anymore?)
And lets be clear here, refunding the registration fees should NOT be considered even close to sufficient compensation as Neil and others like him have reasonable assumed they would control the name for that time and made choices that depend on that.
what i found to work well with me is Fable for design / ideas and Sol for implementation. Codex models just tend to be more attentive and follow through instructions. Whereby claude models are weaker on this area (they tend to cut corners).
Dunno, but is anyone else continuing to seem to get what feels like 3-4 minute reCaptcha challenges? I’m getting mentally exhausted having to try to solve the super blurry pick-the-streetlights they keep throwing at me in loops.
It feels like I have to go slowly through it only for it to eventually end in a “please try again” as I sit and wait ten seconds for each square to slowly fade in a new stupid bus for me to click.
Why does it need to empathise with something that doesn't have feelings in the first place? It clearly can learn from context. And experience? Again I don't see why it needs to feel anything.
Funny was just testing the pilot of the Irish Government Digital Wallet. Definitely seems like the way forward if we're intent on doing identity verification. I'd rather the government mediate this than a bunch of random 3rd parties.
> nuclear power needs at the end reliably cooling. Look at the rivers --- in Germany we had to stop nuclear power plants, because the summer drough was so intense that not enough cooling water was available. That happened several times in France, too.
I find it darkly humorous that a reason to not use nuclear power is the environmental devastation wrought by decades of not using nuclear power
Ted is super specific and inflexible about lots of technical details that just don't work. I don't want to air out dirty laundry here but it's non-existence in any robust state wasn't for lack of trying.
Also it's a feature, not a bug. If we were all pragmatists ...
As someone from outside the US, I had only heard of coaster brakes from this article. As a child all my bikes had rim brakes and now my bike has hydraulic discs, coaster breaks seem very strange to me.
The first map on that page is a classic #mapswithoutnz. New Zealand (Aotearoa) IS in the full pdf version, though what did we do to get put in the naughty corner?
I was working for a company that had hundreds and thousands of domains. It was a fortune 50 company, and they had a policy generally against wildcard domains.
It's pretty incredible how robust neural networks are to even things like architectural changes mid-run. The team at Meta when training their own copy of GPT-3 (called OPT-3) even changed optimizers mid-run (from AdamW -> SGD -> AdamW, https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.01068 section 2.5)!
The temp sensor and transceiver PCB are cast into urethane and the coil gets installed into the hotplate. In theory lets you do all kinds of interesting stuff like monitoring when you can't get a wired probe into the vessel, or to drive a control loop that actually monitors the liquid and not the plate temperature.
The madman and the genius are similar in that they disagree with the world at large/prevailing wisdom. Where they differ is that the madman loses the fight while the genius (eventually) wins.
Have you seen ads for mobile games, where there are seemingly 100 different versions of the same type of game (like tower defense types)? And they're all obviously the worst type of pay-to-play traps?
I think this kind of solves that. Or at least it is the start of it.
Most such games are kind of trivial. If people can easily just get AI to generate such games on the fly, then that'll hopefully be the end of predator pay-to-play games built on dark patterns.
