Excel enabled non-programmers to create basically any app as long as they are fine with a cell-based UI. Same with Access and CRUD apps. I know people love to dunk on M$ here, and for good reasons too, but these two programs are probably responsible for a decent chunk or PoC/v1 projects worldwide.
A few years ago people were talking about convergence of phone/desktop, i.e. you plug your phone into a big screen and keyboard and it’s now your desktop computer.
Mobile apps are shit for that. Sure, my phone is powerful enough to browse internet, play video and music but on desktop with mouse/kb it’s just weird and funky. And I’m not even talking about any productivity software which is straight impossible.
Not for the seedbox, but for the personal always on VPN I would def prefer something nearshore.
Why? I refuse to believe there’s no location in SA with a decent internet and without DMCA enforcement.
Be ware of using VPN if you want spanish content and wanna join a private tracker; all spanish private tracker ban the use of VPNs
What’s the rationale for that?
Uggh, yes, that.
Nowadays it's change settings, refresh page, navigate 10 intermediate pages because SPA, confirm that your settings stuck.

Rudy be wilding.
We actually have a live experience of how that could go down
Another example: latest iteration of Google Captcha. Released with promises to end manually inputting text captchas, the main thing it turned out to check for is whatever you are logged into your google account. If so, you get through automatically, or, at worst have to press a checkbox. If you are not logged in, enjoy selecting fire hydrants and crosswalks.
Yea, it’s strange - top to bottom rows sum up to 94, 100, 92, 94, 100, 100
Research linked in the tweet (direct quotes, page 6) claims that for "GPT-4, the percentage of generations that are directly executable dropped from 52.0% in March to 10.0% in June. " because “they added extra triple quotes before and after the code snippet, rendering the code not executable.” so I wouldn’t listen to this particular paper too much. But yeah OpenAI tinkers with their models, probably trying to run it for cheaper and that results in these changes. They do have versioning but old versions are deprecated and removed often so what could you do?
Email is not only 1:(small N). Maillists do exist and and are used to facilitate discussions between a large amount of people via email. They are also often public so anonymous readers and search indexers can use them.
/all
is certainly an interesting thing - default Active sorting calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time. If Threads are connected they would dominate /all
. But there can certainly be adjustments, we can create a new sorting style, and make it default. For example:
/all
- i.e. after we got 10 posts from Threads, stop getting posts from this instance.I don’t know. I would like to subscribe to someone on Threads from Mastodon (since both are Twitter alternatives), if they don’t have Mastodon account (which let’s be honest they probably don’t). Zuck does not get any of my data (besides what’s available publicly anyway). If Threads decides to go full EEE, I’ll stop getting updates from people on Threads, same as I don’t get updates from people on IG right now. I think proliferation of ActivityPub protocol would be the greatest advantage.
Moreover, I think we should follow the email architecture - I might use i.e. Proton Mail, but it does not prevent me from sending emails to Gmail, which I think is a bad provider, who collects a lot of user data. In fact if Proton Mail forbade sending email to Gmail I would be really displeased about that.
The goal is to allow people to choose where they want to go and ActivityPub is what can help with that, unlike blocking Threads.
Because front camera is not just a feature I’m forced to pay for, despite never using it once in my life, but now it also makes my experience shittier by adding a hole in my screen. I hate that.
