There was a core flaw in the whole CPM model. This means the web has to find a different way to fund itself.

Sadly, it will cause a lot of pain, and it’s not clear what will be next.

Totally understandable.

If scanning to help send traffic to your website, that’s cool. If scanning to generate summaries that won’t send any traffic your way. No bueno.

Ultimately, it should be whatever most benefits users.

Friend recommended the books. Before I had a chance, came across the show. Been binge-watching and really enjoying it. Last episode of season is this weekend.

Will definitely jump on the books now.

Just got a bill for “extra” cursor fees. This is on top of Cursor Pro as well as paid Claude and ChatGPT plans.

Guessing they’re going to try to move everyone up to enterprise so they can maximize revenues. It was a fun ride while it lasted.

1100 patents! Holy smokes.

Thr US one is what you get when you spill a bottle of ketchup on the corner of a white duvet you just washed.

Everybody knows 0s take more pixels to draw and are therefore heavier than 1s.

It’s just common-sense physics, folks.

Briar is Android-only and BitChat is iOS-only.

That bike lane took forever to get through. It will NEVER be used as much as cars taking up the bridge.

Whining about it is like complaining that sidewalks use up valuable space alongside a road.

Sorry, didn’t realize. They appear to have the best extended recap.

Here’s a shorter version from a different source: https://youtu.be/2LlM4PPGtnM

Beautiful design. Amazing that the older bridge can take the sideways forces from the pedestrian one. Kids, this is why you need to learn maths.

During the Bronze age, an estimated 50% of the population had complex outside street drains to dispose of sewage, mainly to help reduce the smell. This turned into an underground sewage system using manufactured clay pipes, which led to the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to dispose of the waste.

Was about to say they need a camera for XR overlays, but they push it as a “live-streaming video” platform.

So, yeah. They can go pound sand.

Was curious what their objection was: https://www.savedowntownmenlo.org/

The city is required by the state to build certain amount of high-density, low-income housing near transit (in this case, Caltrain). The city is proposing using land already owned by them – three parking lots next to a congested downtown strip.

FWIW, looks like the main objection might be losing those three parking lots than straight up NIMBY.

If nginx, here’s an open-source blocker/honeypot: https://github.com/raminf/RoboNope-nginx

If you have it set up to be proxied or hosted by Cloudflare, they have their own solution: https://blog.cloudflare.com/declaring-your-aindependence-block-ai-bots-scrapers-and-crawlers-with-a-single-click/

Absolute horseshit. Bulbs don’t have microphones. If they did, any junior security hacker could sniff out the traffic and post about it for cred.

The article quickly pivots to TP-Link and other devices exposing certificates. That has nothing to do with surveillance and everything to do with incompetent programming. Then it swings over to Matter and makes a bunch of incorrect assertion I don’t even care to correct. Also, all the links are to articles on the same site, every single one of which is easily refutable crap.

Yes, there are privacy tradeoffs with connected devices, but this article is nothing but hot clickbait garbage.
