@viticci @joethephish that would be good!
@joethephish very cool! i think i would use this. seems like it takes up a lot of space though. possible to reduce the size of the top and bottom margins?
@levisan totally! i thought it looked like a homemade marshmallow
@jws @Toxic_Flange or... it could be my powers of recall arent what they were
@jws @Toxic_Flange huh, this is the first i'm learning of this! and i took canadian politics too... must have slept in that day
these guys marketing website's design is craaaazy. dont think i've seen anything like it! normally not impressed by scrolljacking but i'll give this a definite pass: http://pierre.co/
found the button! it’s from when i attended a lecture of his at glendon college circa maybe 2005?
Oh neat - I had no idea you could do this - get the youtube channels you subscribe to your preferred feed reader.
I pay for youtube, so I don't get ads, but I still appreciate the notion of having more control over what I watch.

@nicksherman haha, that makes a lot more sense. glad no poor innocent font is getting lambasted!
@nicksherman what font was he talking about? DIN? thought of fraktur blackletter at first but that’s one the nazis banned
@alan didn’t realize this about ticks! so in the far north there’s probably no ticks eh? come to think about it we weren’t warned about ticks when i was treeplanting in ogoki. the mosquitoes made up for it and then some though.
this is the year i start logging expenses as i go, so i just set up some guy's 1300+ actions-long iOS shortcut: https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/17bqcdf/update_an_eccentric_expense_tracking_shortcut/?share_id=C7joUorexbEKWTi5PefKi&utm_content=1&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1
it's impressive! reminds me of some of the crazy things folks built in applescript back in the day.
@chartier absolutely. i let my apple music lapse accidentally a few years back (card expired) and lost years of playlists — the ones i had made for my wife were an especially hard loss after the CDs i had burned them to were also destroyed.
@freemo hold up… is that a handgun?? trying to imagine the event or activity that would merit this wardrobe combo
I saw an article about a guy who used an LLM to apply to hundreds of jobs while he slept and woke up to offers for like 50 interviews.
So firms are using LLMs to automate parts of the job search process and skip straight to the parts that can’t be done by machines.
And workers are using LLMs to automate the same parts of the job search process and skip straight to the parts that can’t be done by machines.
So there are just all these LLMs talking to each other, at immense cost and effort, in order to get us right to…the same point we were at before LLMs.
When Joseph Tainter talked about societies collapsing when the marginal return on additional investments in complexity turns negative, this is what he meant. So much labor, so much money, so much energy and environmental destruction, all to…get us right back to where we started.
@levisan what are examples of this? like cold teas and koolaid? i’m tempted to say they’re all “punch” but that doesnt communicate noncarbonated.
