apologies, I am talking about the Flying Circus, not Holy Grail, which I should have clarified on my original comment. obviously the group has done some groundbreaking work and I do love that, but sensibilities have definitely changed since then. I don't hold that against them, but it can be jarring to see

oh I see, I am talking about The Flying Circus, not the movie. The casual use of slurs is jarring to me personally

don't really understand the down votes, but I am very open to hearing why it seems to be a controversial statement. the show has some bigoted scenes and I am not defending that, obviously. I am simply talking about how I like the creative premises of the absurdist comedy

while it hasn't aged the best, it is quiet entertaining

LLM among us

they will ddos the open internet to the point where only big tech will be able to afford to host even the most basic websites? is that the endgame?

i was thinking the same thing. it might be the case that the scrapers are result of the web search feature in llms?

iphones on trees

the jokes just write themselves

I just want to be able to splice songs in a playlist

i always thought that its valuable when you have enough data from an insurance pov? is that a myth?

board probably thinks the assets remaining after the bankruptcy pays off the creditors is more than the $8/share?

It's a good article, but the headline feels a bit off considering the source. The idea of personal responsibility has been co-opted by corporations in the past to deflect from systemic issues, so seeing it framed this way- especially given the ownership and agenda of WP- feels a little manipulative. Though, to be fair, I am almost certainly over-analyzing it.

what (hypothetically) happens when the cost to run the next giant llm exceeds the cost to hire a person for tasks like this?

is there a list of virtual museums? a museum of museums?

what's worked for me is using apple music, I find their playlists to be better and exploration feels more structured too.

people can cheat in anon interviews?

Holy hell this looks really cool! its about 70% of what i need it to be out of the box! and it has a decent api as well. I might just end up using this. Anything you have in mind on the retrieval/ search side of things?

yes, ff is terrible at this. I have tried this approach too, but it gets overwhelming FAST. being slightly neurodivergent, its a non starter for me

This seems like an interesting way to approach this problem. obviously this is different for everyone, but do you find a chronological approach useful? also do you manually edit the webpage? if you have some code thats helping you manage your system itll be cool if you can share it. I like the approach here, and making it a webpage makes it super easy to do some of the other things i wanted as well

Another mechanism I am looking to implement as a web extension is this: all my duckduckgo searches are also ran against a local save of my bookmarks, and get displayed on the side. atleast i think it will help me

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve used Brave, and while it’s solid for bookmarks and reading, I’m looking for something more customizable-like adding tags, notes, the ability to run scripts on my data, and annotations- all in one place. Do you know if Brave has options for deeper integrations like this?

if you just extend the metaphor in the diagram, and imagine a negative length to just refer to direction, sure it does :)

personally, I love visual proofs because they can communicate an idea efficiently, sure they have their pitfalls, but its less about the actual mechanism of the proof and more about the core idea that lets me appreciate how its working- and visual proofs add a pseudo-physical intuition that helps me appreciate it.

id think its some kind of proof of sequential work, basically an un-parallelizable calculation that is guaranteed to take a certain number of steps, and making solving thousands of them much harder and hopefully not worth it

this looks really good, and super useful any plans on making it available for ff?

The alternative is to not only learn from, appreciate, and re-install traditional and indigenous practices in conservation efforts as much as possible, but also try and expand our idea of nature to include the conservation of species in landscapes that do not conform to the traditional sense of pristine wilderness.

It is about respecting those who live on the planet with us, and the wilderness myth allows the people you speak about exploit everything other than a very narrow idea of what is wild, and valuable.

While the heuristic is useful for, say, a rainforest eco-system, it actively de-values the plains/ grasslands/ marshes ecosystems just because they do not conform to the ideal we think about when we think about wilderness.

The concept of "pristine wilderness" is indeed a myth, shaped by Euro-American ideas of nature as something untouched by humans. Indigenous peoples have been actively managing and shaping landscapes for thousands of years, through practices like controlled burns, multi-cropping, and sustainable harvesting. However, colonial narratives of the "frontier" ignored this history, framing these lands as wild and uninhabited, which justified their conquest and later shaped early conservation policies.

These narratives still impact our policies today. When we frame conservation as keeping nature "untrammeled by man," we erase indigenous histories and practices that have long sustained ecosystems. IMO, conservation efforts that aim to separate humans from nature often harm both, as seen in the forced removal of indigenous peoples from national parks. A more nuanced approach would recognize that human interaction with nature isn’t inherently destructive and that indigenous stewardship offers valuable lessons in sustainable land management. Embracing this perspective could lead to more effective conservation policies and a healthier relationship with nature, where human presence is viewed as potentially harmonious rather than inherently damaging.

making a (smol) platform to share and find incomplete projects (on github?) devs can pick up and contribute to in a short duration. any interest?

as shady as mozilla has been for a while now, im sticking to ff. hopefully they make ff a priority again, but doubt that will happen with all the big tech money flowing in.
