Sure, I'm just bemoaning the fact that you've taken cloud hosting to be the default. It's as much a complaint about the world in general as anything specific to you. Good luck with it all.

Oppenheimer

YES. For me it was especially disappointing because I'm exactly the target market for this kind of film on every level.

I like Jim Barry but I can see why if you don't click then his antics would get annoying very quickly.

I'm sure I could beat the piano guy in Luigi's Mansion 3 if I played it enough times, but it's not nearly fun enough for me to stick to it

I'm old enough to consider the framing of the question to be weirdly loaded.

It does not feel that long ago where people would be asked to justify entrusting their product's functions and data to a bunch of strangers who can make unilateral decisions about your service with zero comeback. Now we're being asked to justify not doing that.

There seems to be a common thread amongst all the Japanese camera manufacturers that their software is all "this must be done in exactly this (often convoluted) way".

I'm convinced that they put their hardware engineers in charge of writing the software.

Commerce isn't the same thing as capitalism.

Yeah, the second one. It's the ones prepared to do shit like that who get promoted in the first place.

This is true, but it’s also not helped by the fact that the web itself has gotten worse. A lot of stuff that previously would have been on a crawlable page is now on an amorphous infinite scroll feed behind a login screen, or worse still a YouTube video.

Good job there’s more than 20 other studies out there for them to p-hack

Having spent some small time in the information theory and signal processing world, it infuriates me how often people champion LLMs for writing things like data dictionaries and documentation.

Information is measured in information theory as "the difference between what you expected and what you got", ergo, any documentation generated automatically by an LLM is by definition free of Information. If you want something explained to you in English then it can be generated just as easily as and when you want it, rather than stored as the authoritative record.
