I was just listening to a YouTube playlist of mine that goes back at least 10 years and was disappointed how much of it was deleted. And not only that, but in many cases I couldn’t even tell what the videos were.
Literally just today, I picked one music video that just seemed to be gone from youtube and the internet, but thankfully was able to find a Wayback machine link to the artists website in 2008 with a .mov download link.
I have many conversations with people about Large Language Models like ChatGPT and Copilot. The idea that “it makes convincing sentences, but it doesn’t know what it’s talking about” is a difficult concept to convey or wrap your head around. Because the sentences are so convincing....

Would also love to have just an ETA without directions. I usually don’t need them commuting or going about town, but I keep them up anyway to keep track of time. Would love just an ETA widget.
Yeah, that’s how I usually do it, just leaving it muted. I’d expect to continue to enter a destination. The ETA would update if I take a wrong turn, choose another route or get caught in traffic. Basically it should work exactly as it currently does, I just don’t want to have the map on the screen sometimes.
Over the past year or so I’ve been playing with the idea of a decentralised social platform based on your location. By putting physical location at the centre of the experience, such a platform could be used to bring communities together and provide a source of local information when travelling. Please let me know what you...
Red Robin does the same. I once posted about it on the old place and people took their side also. Best you can do is set up a rule and send them straight to trash.
It’s the one thing when I’m configuring things that makes me wince because I know it will give me the business, and I know it shouldn’t, but it does, every time. I have no real idea what I’m doing, what it is, how it works, so of course I’m blindly following instructions like a monkey at a typewriter....
Yeah, but if you’re communicating with the buttplug store, the specific contents of the box don’t really matter. You still want a trusted friend to not tell people where you get your boxes from.
