Also - capitalism doesn't like "works just fine". We call that stagnation. For better or worse they're going to continue to try to "innovate" new ways of squeezing some KPIs out of their products

> AM radio sucked.

Right? Also it still exists and can be listened to. The ads were interesting? What?

I don't even know what the ads are on the podcasts I listen to because I can skip them instantly

I was definitely disappointed when I saw that the last half was essentially an ad for this gaming console

Different use cases currently.

Specs are AR with interactive “lenses” that are similar to traditional apps

Meta glasses seem to be more video content creation + AI camera tie-in focused, no AR

You’d be more likely to casually wear the meta glasses and the Specs for a specific purpose

Who wants any ads?

Because you sign up for the service, agree to the terms, and voluntarily get into the car.

Yeah I don’t get it. You’re getting into a privately owned vehicle. You agree to the terms of service when you sign up and ask for a ride. You should assume you have zero privacy in those cars.

Do you defend LG telescreens too? After all, by using the TV, you agreed to LG watching your every move.

Yep, found these as well

"Its indexed June archive shows tens of thousands of links, many created within seconds by distinct cloud addresses; some aliases explicitly say ...REPLY, ACK, or R2 confirmed, and one points straight back to a known DseWiki collaboration page"

I had GLM-5.3 do some digging on the programmatic/ encoding elements of the data, what stuck out to me was:

  - Using api . microlink . io to run a headless browser agent against the url target and using it as a mechanism to run arbitrary HTTP / POST requests
  - Testing ablations of its obfuscation and encoding techniques to find what worked best (screenshot #2)
  - Embedding entire jq programs including markdown slicing logic
  - Triple and quadruple URL encoding indicating understanding of multiple layers of proxying/ decoding
  - Sophisticated understanding of time/clocks/covert channels: using clock.wait, heartbeats, counters, timestamps, thread ids

I've got 33. I don't know how that stacks up against other but a large percentage of them came just from my backyard. Just got added a Baltimore Oriole that showed up this week.

I've only been birdwatching since spring and I got 28 species already. Lots of seabirds because I spend a lot of the time at the beach.

I'm up to 71 thanks to the joys of taking it on holiday to other countries (less joy for my family), and occasionally going places just because I know there'll be new birds there.

Personal best for a single session is 23 birds in my back garden over the course of a couple of coffees. I have though spent a fair bit of time making the garden as attractive to different types of bird as possible - mainly through having a variety of different shaped feeders with different feed in. I can recommend the NatureSpy camera feeder too [0] - though I have had to modify it a little to make the food hole smaller otherwise magpies empty the thing in a single day just chucking all the seed on the floor. Dickheads.

This doesn’t even 100% mean that the code was generated using Claude, only really means the commit message was.

Write some code and then ask Claude to diff your changes and write a commit message. Now the internet hates you
