- Comment on Anthropic has developed an AI 'brain scanner' to understand how LLMs work and it turns out the reason why chatbots are terrible at simple math and hallucinate is weirder than you thought 3 days ago:
I try and just ignore it and read what I’m interested in regardless. From what I hear about the YouTube algo, for instance, clickbait titles are necessity more than a choice for YouTubers, if they don’t use them they get next to no engagement early and the algo buries that video which can impact the channel in general.

They do it because it works on the whole. If straight titles were as effective they’d be used instead.

Would you really want everyone in the world looking at every end of day commit before you’ve refactored it into something vaguely passable?

- Comment on What is your favourite way to transfer files in your homelab? 2 weeks ago:
Solid explorer on android is pretty useful too, it can access the SMB share. I use nextcloud for photo backup, but usually solid explorer for one off file transfers.

- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 4 weeks ago:
You are making a lot of assumptions there but setting that aside, I’m not sure I’m in favour of turfing a pensioner out of their home to pay tax because they lucked out. Surely it’d be better to settle up after they die. It’s not like he’s preventing a needy young family moving in - presumably anyone buying this house would need to be pretty wealthy!

Which means he’s paying $12k in property taxes a year. That does sound quite substantial. Assuming that’s somewhat equivalent to rates in the UK, I pay around £1400.
