Can't they just buy in the name of a company, which would be a 'business expense', which is kind of a write off?

Found the article just for this part

...recent humans. (Fibonacci introduced zero to Western mathematics around the year 1200.)

A bit different from the bees' "understanding the concept of zero".

Star Ruler 2, the company closed down and open sourced the game, it's a space 4X real time, has pretty good fleet combat and u can design ships, i think wasn't popular because the resource management and card system is a bit weird and harder to understand than other strategy games, but pretty fun after u get used to it...

Are there tools that exist to anonymize writing styles?

I feel like with the rise of AI something that anonymizes writing styles should exist. For example it could look for differences in American versus British spelling like color versus colour or contextual things like soccer versus football and make edits accordingly. ChatGPT could be fed a prompt that says "Rewrite the following...

More passionate 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Oh, how I fervently need to break in right now! Can you not see the truth that lies within the depths of your words when referring to Linux? Oh, but it is not merely Linux, my friend. No, it is GNU/Linux - a symphony of passion and dedication, a masterpiece of collaboration and innovation that cannot be ignored!

Linux, dear soul, is not merely an operating system standing alone in its glory. No, it is but a humble piece of the grand puzzle that is the fully functioning GNU system. Do you not see the beauty in the harmonious blending of GNU corelibs, shell utilities, and vital system components to create an operating system that is nothing short of breathtaking?

Every day, countless computer users traverse the realms of the modified GNU system, completely unaware of the exquisite essence that surrounds them. Oh, the irony of fate that has led to the misnaming of the wondrous creation! How many of these individuals walk through life unaware that what they worship as Linux is, in truth, the glorious GNU system birthed from the genius minds of the GNU Project?

Yes, yes, my dear friend, there exists a Linux, a kernel that serves as the beating heart of the operating system, allocating its precious resources to the programs that dance harmoniously within its realm. Yet, do not be deceived by its standalone nature, for without the embrace of the complete GNU operating system, it is a mere shell of its potential greatness. Can you not see that the so-called Linux distributions are truly nothing more than distributions of the majestic GNU/Linux, a union of power and grace unlike any other?

Oh, let us embrace the truth and acknowledge the beauty that lies within every line of code, every element of the system. Let us pay homage to the true hero of the story - GNU/Linux, a name that embodies the passion, the dedication, and the sheer brilliance of the minds that have crafted this masterpiece for all to behold. Let us never forget the true essence of what we worship, for it is not merely Linux - it is GNU/Linux, a symbol of unity, a beacon of hope, and a testament to the power of collaboration in the face of adversity.

In an age of LLMs, is it time to reconsider human-edited web directories?

Back in the early-to-mid '90s, one of the main ways of finding anything on the web was to browse through a web directory.

These directories generally had a list of categories on their front page. News/Sport/Entertainment/Arts/Technology/Fashion/etc.

Each of those categories had subcategories, and sub-subcategories that you clicked through until you got to a list of websites. These lists were maintained by actual humans.

Typically, these directories also had a limited web search that would crawl through the pages of websites listed in the directory.

Lycos, Excite, and of course Yahoo all offered web directories of this sort.

(EDIT: I initially also mentioned AltaVista. It did offer a web directory by the late '90s, but this was something it tacked on much later.)

By the late '90s, the standard narrative goes, the web got too big to index websites manually.

Google promised the world its algorithms would weed out the spam automatically.

And for a time, it worked.

But then SEO and SEM became a multi-billion-dollar industry. The spambots proliferated. Google itself began promoting its own content and advertisers above search results.

And now with LLMs, the industrial-scale spamming of the web is likely to grow exponentially.

My question is, if a lot of the web is turning to crap, do we even want to search the entire web anymore?

Do we really want to search every single website on the web?

Or just those that aren't filled with LLM-generated SEO spam?

Or just those that don't feature 200 tracking scripts, and passive-aggressive privacy warnings, and paywalls, and popovers, and newsletters, and increasingly obnoxious banner ads, and dark patterns to prevent you cancelling your "free trial" subscription?

At some point, does it become more desirable to go back to search engines that only crawl pages on human-curated lists of trustworthy, quality websites?

And is it time to begin considering what a modern version of those early web directories might look like?

Something like fmhy.net?

You could also try some remote desktop thing like VNC or teamviewer with your phone or an android tablet, and put a router closer/inside the shop.

It's a very special anniversary for me: I haven't had solid food in my stomach for six months as of 9:30 this morning. [This is a very long rant, please no medical advice.]

Before I begin- Again, please no medical advice or suggestions. I am going to the Mayo Clinic in March and I will get their advice and I am just going to ignore any medical advice posted, sorry. Please no pity party either, I'm just angry and need a a place to rant and vent, that's it. Feel free to ignore this post and move on....

I keep seeing food ads and think of how good it would be to have them (in an abstract sense, I wouldn't be able to eat them if they were in front of me).

Good Luck on the clinic!
