does Astro do WYSWIYG?

I am inclined to agree but grok 4.5 seems to be almost SOTA. They could be frontier soon.

Out of curiosity, I just asked Grok and learned:

* Biden won the 2020 election

* vaccines do not cause autism

* global warming is not a conspiracy

In each case it seemed to do a web search so perhaps it is happy to rely on the top results.

There are plenty of places in the developed world where it just doesn't make financial sense to roll out fibre. In NZ about 90% of the country has fibre access... probably that number will creep a bit higher. But I doubt it'll ever reach 100%.

Whether or not Starlink can build a business on selling broadband to <10% of the developed world I don't know.

Billionaires also want vaccines, sometimes do they have our best interests in mind. They can’t extract wealth from the poor masses if we’re sick!

Would you use a value class if you wanted to represent a fraction?

Why can’t gifts have contracts?

so... they made a society with a lot of inequality and it fell apart?

Are you arguing against the concept of progress taxation entirely?

I have not read Piketty. But I could imagine a society where the poor are 10% better off and the rich are 1000% better off to be a less stable society that ends up falling apart.

I think your detector is overly sensitive. That sounds like a very common way to phrase a sentence.

Doesn't Apple already ask you for your age when you set up a new device? And I think Microsoft requires you to be 18 on your admin account.

That sentence does set off alarm bells, but in the context of the entire article I don't think it's AI written.

This makes it seem like roughly an even split:

At a minute in you can see the satellites being ejected out one by one.

I thought they paid barely anything to artists because they are only getting fifteen bucks a month from each subscriber. And their price is restricted because they’re essentially competing (as a business model) with piracy.

does it have some kind of sandboxing for its extensions?

Curious if people think LLMs will lead to more secure or less secure software in five years.

this is a hack I have used and am proud of:

if you use Caddy as your reverse proxy (instead of nginx for example which does not do this), when requests come in and your service is missing because it's being deployed, Caddy waits for a timeout before giving up. this means that visitors during the brief deploy period don't see errors - they just get a slightly longer wait, which often is not obvious depending on how long your service takes to boot.

I recall chrome used to let you reveal passwords with a simple button press in the UI. I think their conclusion at the time was if an attacker had local access there was no point in pretending they were hidden.

Seems there’s an opening for an ElonJet-like tracker that operates on this data.

Makes you wonder why poor people don’t just start their own companies.

Haven’t tried it, but here is one: https://github.com/MarconLP/snapify

or network effects are keeping people on a worse platform?

All of the concepts SOMA explored were already familiar to me, but the experience of exploring the through the game was so much stronger than reading about them in a text book. Such a strong, lasting effect, I wish I could play it again for the first time.

Yeah I want to know how many people are using AI for social purposes; to provide the role of a friend. But I don’t know what category that would be under.

"If you're not paying for it, you're the product being sold"

This must apply to Firefox itself, right?

I never understood this quote. I happily gave up the freedom of driving without a seatbelt for security, what does that say about me?

People want age restrictions on social media; this seems like politicians enacting the will of their constituents

While the instructions for authors for Paediatrics & Child Health has at times indicated the case reports are fictional, that disclosure has never appeared on the journal articles themselves.

Sounds like they were asking authors for fiction, so probably plenty of them are.
