those codepoints very didn't survive into the local view, haha. will have to see if it renders elsewhere

wonder if it'd be worthwhile to make an AP mod that replies to banned posters with "ur bannd dumbo"

I guess it's not a great idea because a lot of the Indignant types are probably likely to then start alt-accounting

should've used some of that networked state technology so they didn't have to be reliant on such tawdry oldworld dead weight as mere webrtc

I’ve sat and had beer with someone (who’s worked in the space but not LLMs) who read the Bitter Lesson and got real into the idea of humans “just being universal function approximators” and had wholesale bought into the idea that we should throw everything we possibly can into this shit, no resource cost or requirement is too high or too uncertain, that it would definitely be the right thing to so

so I can tell you without no uncertainty that there are definitely people who buy into it

I poked the conversation gently, to see how far the conviction went. it was pretty comprehensively bought-in. was a somewhat surprising experience tbh

nice, wasn't aware of that having ground presence there

turns out there was a good reason they wanted to turf us, we just didn't know it yet

god damn those recasting images

it will never not be hilarious how pathetic this technology/approach is

so, this isn't so much a design as it is a consequence of how a lot of the technologies involved operate (as in, it's (largely) not a conscious choice for those things to do that shifting (except in the cases of deceptive designs)), but you're fairly correct in that it fucking sucks to have that interaction with sites/systems (because of violates principle of least surprise, etc)

(and probably also sometimes/often falls into that bucket of things where "it works perfectly fine on the dev's 27" laptop with 16 cores and 32gb of RAM and the DC is next door" development applies)

I want to make a zoolander riff but my brain just isn't cooperating, so instead pretend I did (just like these people pretend their product is worth something)

I could hear this while reading it ahaha

and there's no reason for you to try excuse their laziness with airdropped feelings of cozy of your own!

wild, full circle!

I like how os/2 warp isn't in that list
