@jonst0kes
The fact that “parasocial” is a real adjective that means something like, “I actually have a relationship/connection with & investment in this creator” is such a bizarre thing that can only happen in a world where “content” is the norm.
@jonst0kes
…writing, art, and other forms of communication where a person is trying to convey something to other people, & other people are invested in interpreting it — obviously this is not threatened even a little by generative AI. So content will die, but communication will live on.
@jonst0kes
Generative AI does indeed mean the death of content, but content is a historical artifact that arose from a combo of capitalism + distributional scarcity (print & EM spectrum) + cognitive surplus (read Clay Shirky on this). So content’s value is headed to zero. Writing OTOH…

Realizing I used to come across web archives of IRC logs when searching error messages, much more than I do today. Why is this? Publishing Slack/Discord logs isn't any harder than IRC ones.

You know, one contrast between my personal inbox and my work inbox is the people who run my personal mail infrastructure don't try to phish me and punish inattention with a bullshit task.

@mrled For results, I like neeva. It feels a little closer to 2010 google. https://t.co/TdWjHrE3Yf results are alright, but their tools for filtering domains are helpful. Surprising how much alpha there is left in search engine ux
@mrled
@TurtlingB I haven't tried those so I'm not sure... do you like them? I have been using DuckDuckGo as my default browser for a few years before now, how do those new ones compare to that?
@TurtlingB
@mrled How does it compare to other new offerings like neeva and https://t.co/yLRqMlH3Ht?

@_StevenFan Yes in the sense that you can request certain sites be ranked higher, like if you always want to see Reddit results first, or hidden altogether, like if you want to delist a spammy SEO site.
@_StevenFan
@mrled is it tunable? can you feed it stuff you like?
@mrled
Been using https://t.co/vP6neaYevc for searches the last few weeks, really happy so far.
It has bang commands like DuckDuckGo does, and so far better results than both DDG and Google.
It costs $10/mo. Worth it so far for me, I'm going to keep paying.
@mrled
When there are few relevant results, DDG sometimes shows pages without any search terms. I haven't seen Kagi do this.
I find what I'm looking for in Kagi more often without popping over to Google with !g
@mrled
When I can't find what I'm looking for in Kagi and I end up trying Google, Google hasn't been helpful as often as it was when I was using DDG.
There's times I try Google from Kagi, and even times I look in DDG - there's room for all 3. But Kagi is the best place to look first.
@mrled
Any recommendations for high bang/buck ratio of tensor compute power for home labs? I'd like to run FauxPilot (open source Github Copilot) and maybe a Stable Diffusion web app to dip my toes in the water of self-hostable AI models.

Today, in "What Fucking Year Is It?", my trash service company sets my password to the last four digits of my phone number with no way to change it, and my water service company customer portal domain name ends in .azurewebsites.net.

Thinking about going with an acquaintance to a cramped house party. As the night goes on you notice people in the crowd grinning at you with mouths that hold too many teeth, hands grip your shoulders possessively, squirming with far too many fingers.

Jesus Christ I have had it with SMS auth. Whatever password manager that lets me get a dedicated SMS number for stupid login forms that it just fucking enters automatically could charge me a lot and I'd be so happy to pay. The security is fucking fake anyway.

This might be true sometimes, but the value of secrets is much lower than what most managers think (and that it's ~never higher than they think). Noncompete protection of trade secrets only matters in very rare exceptions if it matters at all. https://t.co/Mg9ACylJ6C
@mrled
If your legal system has never seriously harmed a company by keeping it from protecting its trade secrets, your society is paying too much for trade secrets.
Our society definitely pays too much for trade secrets.
@Valdevia_Art
As major population centres across the world are affected by the Fractal, authorities react by quarantining entire cities to avoid its spread.
The struggle escalates into riots and open conflict against government forces. The Fractal is used as a weapon by the besieged fighters. https://t.co/UttY3Tt899 https://t.co/NeyRzBQpLt
