Maybe it's like the dotcom bubble: there is genuinely useful tech that has recently emerged, but too many companies are trying to jump on the bandwagon.

LLMs do seem genuinely useful to me, but of course they have limitations.

The CEO of Intuit (who make financial software) did an interview, and it seems a pretty normal interview. But some senior guy at the company asked for part of the interview to be deleted, after it took place.

By putting in that unusual request (rather angrily), more attention is being drawn to the interview.

Thoughts?

If the US had a single transferable vote system then you could comfortably vote for a third party, if you wanted to, without helping out the opponent you dislike the most.

You just rank the candidates, so you could rank Jill Stein as 1 if you want, then Harris as 2, and Trump below that. So then if Stein has fewer votes than Harris and Trump each have (likely) then her votes would transfer to whoever her voters ranked 2nd.

Under this system, a third party candidate is more likely to win (maybe you don't like Jill Stein, but conceivably a third party could produce a good candidate). The ballot under this system looks like this:

Good PSA. Personally I'm not that worried because

  1. I don't use Instagram
  2. Firefox has an option to copy links without site tracking, which hopefully would work on Instagram links
  3. I try to only write stuff online that wouldn't be massively embarrassing if anyone does happen to figure out who I am

I like Linux but there is some truth to the OP cartoon

For example if I say I use Ubuntu, some Linux users will get angry and say that it's a bad distro, it's a beginner's distro, it means you're an idiot, etc.

If someone has bought a Switch game legally, then it's legal to dump that game to a PC and play it on a Switch emulator, right?

Sure you could say that very few people dump their own games, but those that do are doing everything legally I think?

"Fidelity is currently valuing X at about $9.4 billion"

I found this funny.
