The training data thing is so frustrating.
Every service just changed their terms of service to allow it and nobody got in trouble.
- Comment on Will the tariffs lead to a recession? 1 day ago:
A recession is generally defined as two or more quarters with negative GDP growth.
Tariffs will absolutely cause that. They’re going to dampen US growth for years.
That’s only one simple definition though. Broadly I think the answer is still yes, this will cause US job losses, as you’re already seeing in the automotive industry. Job losses result in lower consumer spending, resulting in lower business revenue, and less business expansion and cost cutting, and it can become a reinforcing cycle.
Recessions can be mild or severe, so the jury is still out on whether the US will hold their tariffs, and how quickly the system adapts to the changes.

- Comment on Microsoft fires employee protestor who called AI boss a ‘war profiteer’ 2 days ago:
the email to Aboussad reads. “It is also concerning that you have not apologized to the company, and in fact you have shown no remorse for the effect that your actions have had and will have.”
Obviously there were going to fire these employees, especially the one who gave notice then did this.
But why the fuck would anyone be like “yOu DiDn’T eVeN aPoLoGiZe To ThE cOmPaNy”? That’s the stupidest god damn thing I’ve heard since “Liberation Day”

Wow my portfolio just took a hell of a beating
I did not expect it to be this bad

Holy shit the stock market tomorrow is going to be a bloodbath
The video was surreal, he was waving that board around like a shitty game show host. The whole thing was absurd.
- Comment on THE CLASS WAR IS BACK, BABY! 1 week ago:
Man I sure hate the trans agenda of checks notes wanting a place to pee in public without being harassed?
Seriously fuck all this, trans rights are human rights, and insanely easy to accommodate while hurting absolutely no one.

They should sell a charger called “ba” and then a two pack called “banana” and a four pack called “bananana”
- Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows. 1 week ago:
I think fediverse being the ocean is apt.
We’re just here, with wave after wave eroding the shore of the island that is Reddit.
- Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows. 1 week ago:
Reddit has very weak leadership in my opinion.
I wouldn’t be betting on them, especially when their user base is going to want them to stand up for them and the Elon fiasco shows Spez won’t.
It’s a tinderbox before the next large Reddit protest happens again and more niche communities splinter off to the fediverse.

I’ve gone full circle
Loved sheets, then hated them because we should just use a DB
Now I do stuff in sheets with a tab explaining how I got the data because I can email it to someone and in 4 months it still answers their questions.

- Comment on Trump threatens 'far larger' tariffs if EU and Canada unite to do 'economic harm' to the U.S. 1 week ago:
Honestly this just makes us have to work together even more.
Nobody is going to accept losing trade and jobs to the US without bothering with alternatives. That’s the stupidest thing you could do.
Putting up a bigger barrier just makes us need each other more.

- Comment on Tesla (TSLA) accounting raises red flags as report shows $1.4 billion missing 2 weeks ago:
Remember project 42 where Elon had Tesla building a house for him, and it only got refreshed due to the extremely large orders of premium glass?
I’m going to guess that wasn’t the only such project…
- Comment on What do the recession indicators say about the economy? 3 weeks ago:
I can’t wait for another 4 years of management telling me I’m lucky to do the work of four people because there’s a recession coming.
- Comment on You knew it was coming: Google begins testing AI-only search results | This version of Google won't show you the 10 blue links at all—Gemini completely takes over the results in AI Mode 4 weeks ago:
So what happens to the situation of having to pay ad-word rent on your own brand name?
Do we still get that with AI search, or is Google going to give up their golden goose of ad revenue. I’m guessing the adwords feed into the background RAG that influences what the model says.
- Comment on Are there any self hosted news aggregators? 5 weeks ago:
TimyRSS looks interesting, noticed they have extension support (freshRSS seems to too) so marine that’s the best route to what I want
- Comment on Are there any self hosted news aggregators? 5 weeks ago:
It looks like there are already some extensions that do a bit of what I’m looking for
github.com/FreshRSS/Extensions
I’ll have to look at the API to see if I can add tagging or something.
- Comment on Are there any self hosted news aggregators? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah that’s what I’m thinking of.
What I’m envisioning is articles group by topic (international, tech, etc.) and something that groups articles on say Ukraine like Google News does.
A lot of RSS is like an email inbox and I want a news feed.
- Comment on Are there any self hosted news aggregators? 5 weeks ago:
That looks great
The list of related software they use is also very handy
- Comment on Are there any self hosted news aggregators? 5 weeks ago:
I think what I want is RSS plus categorization, like a Google News type app.
RSS alone can be kind of overwhelming.
But maybe I can build this on RSS with ollamma.
