I've seen reports of the fediverse getting a bump in users. End of the day you will almost never see news about it because it has no marketing budget, and offers no investment opportunity. Money talks.

It remains imo the best social platform because of those reasons.

Why is that suprising?

There is no logical reasoning happening, it has no concept of right and wrong, let alone that it can force a specific percentage of wrongness.

You tend to get catered responses to whatever role you assign in the prompt. This is well documented. Here's a quick example from search results

"You are wrong 80% of the time" could be misconstrued as an expected role/command, rather than a mere observation.

Ah, I see what you're saying here. I agree. Maybe I should have said that given the prompt, I'm surprised it doesn't give intentionally incorrect answers (full stop)

Highly recommend this: you can hit 50% to 70% discount from original price, plus contribute to reducing e-waste.

I've been using a third-hand T480 for many (5? 7? Can't even remember anymore) years now, and it's probably the best Linux experience anyone can hope for. Performance vs. efficiency is crazy - easily hitting 20 hours, screen-on battery life after all this time and many full discharges.

That battery performance really surprising me. My T14 running debian averages ~5-6 hours of coding + browsing. Did you do anything fancy to get those sorts of results.

the t480 has two batteries! one internal and one removable. The laptop using the `tlp` package and a WM like i3wm - which I prefer for functional reasons - discharges at around 5 watts when idle, and running heavy stuff brings it up to 17W max.

If nothing else, the tree ul-list css class is good enough that it should be part of the HTML spec (as in: a <tree> tag) imo. What an incredibly useful thing that is.

TIL about worktrees, a feature I've needed in the past but didn't expect to even exist.

Jj also supports worktrees, though they call them workspaces.

Impressive writeup. The deterministic aspect is not super popular anymore, I guess, but this entire post does make me wonder how the networking layer compares to a slightly more modern multiplayer game.

It's very common in RTS. StarCraft 1 and 2 also use rolling lockstep.

Both those games are contemporaries of the Serious Sam series though. StarCraft came out three years before the first Serious Sam! But yeah fighting games and RTS games both commonly use deterministic sims.

That is entirely dependent on the type of steroidal nosespray. There are types that don't cause dependence or stuffy nose when not used.

I disagree, because I believe it's quite difficult to write in that uncanny valley of particularly creepy texts, without showing any matching creepy imagery.

Yes, but the reality is that EC2 is optimized for a target audience who wants to customize the deployment beyond a linux box with a public IP.

But iirc following the "Launch Instance" wizard and choosing defaults for everything, as well as a (default) public subnet gives the exact thing you're asking for.
