Google's AI seems dumber than the rest, for example here's Kagi answering the same (using Claude):


edit: typoed question originally

Perhaps Google's tried to make it run too cheaply - Kagi's one doesn't run unless you ask for it, and as a paid product it'll have different priorities.

There's moderation per community and per server. There's no "fediverse moderator", of course, but I think you're vaguely worrying for nothing.

Patrick Delaney's salute:

I know News Corp are evil, but this pic looks more mocking than heartfelt.

[Truss complained that the British press wasn't] “particularly deferential to politicians”

Why should they be? Their job should be to inform the public, not suck up to those in power.

"Disney understandably may want to benefit from the privacy and confidentiality that arbitration brings, rather than having a wrongful death suit heard in public with the associated publicity," says Jamie Cartwright, partner at law firm Charles Russell Speechlys.

If that's what they want, they clearly never heard of the Streisand Effect. This is disgraceful behaviour from Disney, and I hope they come to severely regret it.

I felt the same when reading that book, and I never finished it because following the rules he suggested produced horrible code.

If memory serves, he also suggested that the ideal if statement only had one line inside, and you should move multiple lines into a function to achieve this.

I once had to work on a codebase that seemed like it had followed his style, and it was an awful experience. There were hundreds of tiny functions (most only used once) and even with an IDE it was a chore to follow the logic. Best case the compiler removed most of this "clean" code and the runtime wasn't spending most of its time managing the stack like a developer had to do.

It's a weird time to be alive.

I think of a lurker as someone who doesn't post - I guess your definition is someone who doesn't interact at all (besides making an account and subscribing, I assume). But yes, I mean users who only vote are now counted (it's not using views afaik).

I think most people share your confusion. It seems that F5 was following their responsibility as a CNA, but one guy disagreed enough to leave with all his toys.

So Tesla gets that $56 billion back? Kinda funny that that causes their share price to drop.

You're right - but, as Cory Doctorow points out, Apple owe their success to reverse engineering, the very thing they're busy blocking now.

Also just the whole concept is wrong and encourages "me too" spam just to keep the thing from timing out and not being fixed.
