@hankgreen.bsky.social you and others cite the de minimus rising from $250 to $800 as a factor in Temu and similar becoming popular but if almost nothing on those sites is even close to $250, then why would that matter?

Open AI won't talk about David Mayer, Deepseek won't talk about tiananmen square. Seems like a good way to test which AI a company is using under the hood. Anyone have fingerprints for other models?

I was today years old when I discovered there are 0xf Tablespoons in a cup and 0xff Tablespoons in a gallon. Counting in base 16: not just for computers, but for baking too!

Last night showed how much fear runs through this country. Trump won, promising a better economy and safer America, but his focus on crime and inflation left its mark. My uncle, who worked nearly 30 years for the MTA, is now too afraid to set foot in NYC, even to see his beloved Mets. (1/3)
