One problem I see with the current state of the IndieWeb having not yet "taken off" is the negative selection effect you get from having the corporate web in existence next to the IndieWeb. Back in the 90s you might write a website advertising your services as an accountant in Word, save as HTML, and upload that HTML to geocities or to webspace provided by your ISP. You can still do that today. The shocking difference is that back then it made actual business sense to do that: People would just stumble across your website. You could reach actual normies. Nowadays, because of the presence of the corporate web next to the Indie Web, the normies are trapped in the corporate web and the only eyeballs your website will attract will be the people who share in your own brand of weird. They might admire the "art" inherent in your crappy HTML, but they won't hire you as an accountant. And they're probably not strong enough in numbers for this to make any business sense.

Most social platforms are built around engagement metrics—feeds, likes, comments, algorithms. They're designed to keep us consuming, not connecting.

I wanted something different. Mindfuse is a space for anonymous, one-on-one audio conversations with people from around the world. No profiles, no feeds, no endless content—just real, spontaneous human connection.

It's for people who actually like talking, learning, and exchanging perspectives. A quiet alternative to the noise.

Still experimental, still raw, but it works—and some of the conversations I’ve had here have been better than anything on social media.

You can try it on the App Store (iOS only for now). I’d love feedback from this community.

Two or three drops of fuel!

The stoichiometric AFR for isopropanol is 10.4:1 according to the sources I found. For 1g of fuel you need 10.4g of air which at SSL[1] corresponds to around 8.5L. One drop of fuel does consume several liters of air to burn. The volume difference is really that huge --- and the higher the AFR, the bigger the difference; gasoline engines are around 14.7:1, and diesels go much higher when idling or under light load.

If chatgpt is scraping the web, why can they not link tokens to source of token? being able to cite where they learned something would explode the value of their chatbot. At least a couple of orders of magnitude more value. Without this chatbots are mostly a coding-autocomplete tool for me—lots of people have takes, but it's the tying into the internet that makes a take from an unknown entity really valuable.

Perplexity certainly already approximates this (not sure if it's at a token level, but it can cite sources. I just assumed they were using a RAG.)
Japan has a weird split between Japanese nationals, Korean special residents, and actual foreigners (including "normal" Korean immigrants).

It's a whole can of worm I'll only leave here for any else to open, but Son Masayoshi was born in Japan from parents who might have formerly been Japanese (Korea was a Japanese colony) depending on the circumstances.

Perhaps, but I have family going through this and it just makes you so mad. I'd pay to send him to a camp where he's beat with a bullwhip every day if I knew it could cure him.

It should also be pointed out that it's not just the money aspect. Managing people is difficult, managing people in a stressful situation is really difficult, add a dysfunctional culture (especially if that culture is "imposed" from above) is a pain in the proverbial. Which means managing in these situations is hard work.

Add on top of that that a largish number of managers just plain suck at their job, so being in a union can be useful to push back against either lazy or incompetent managers.

Because there are far more people who leave their manager than leave their job.

You glossed over how it works. Bots don't maintain session cookies to avoid rate limits, so they will have to do the challenge over and over again, whereas humans keep the session cookie and amortise the cost of the challenge over multiple requests.
Think of the "searching" LLM as a peon of the user, the user asks, the peon performs. In that essence, searching by the LLM should be human-driven and must not be blocked. It's just an automated system doing the search not your personal peon.

> Except the link you're responding to is literally linking to reports of threats to safety.

Typically when you break laws in a country, for example violating the terms of a visa, you face consequences. For everyone else, there’s no issue. But none of this is a “threat to safety”. Again, this is activist hyperbole.

> We know more than enough to point out that it shouldn't have happened at all.

You don’t know any real details. You just have vague claims from individuals that likely were breaking the law, and partisan news media amplifying their claims with zero investigation. There is no evidence of why these people were questioned or detained. We know at least a couple of the cases involve explicitly violating immigration law - visa overstays, attempts to cross the border after a denial, working while on a travel visa, etc.

You are right that the human perceived calendar date is something we invented rather arbitrarily. Of course, the longest day of the year was occurring on June 20th before humans invented agriculture or cities. That we call it "June" and "20" is a cultural artifact.

GitHub actions provide me the best experience I ever encountered when dealing with ops.

I pair it with bash scripts where I find important to run outside GitHub facilitating test and maintenance.

Although, I still find need to run multiple times or iterate over the actual GitHub action run time, which is a bit slow to iterate but find it best to catch any issues. If the dev feedback loop fixed it save me a lot of precious time. I know there’s a third party to run locally but it’s not the same…

Thus, bash scripting is great due to portability.

But then you start getting additional requirements like "no touching your CI/CD code", "no using plugins except A, B or C" and "deployment must be integrated with Rally/Microfocus/another corporate change management system". Suddenly your pipelines become weird and brittle and feel like busywork.

This is just misinformation. Requiring factually accurate sex information to be submitted is not the same as discriminating against some group. It’s just common sense.

The Australian passport doesn’t require fatally accurate information per your own link:

> Customers who identify as a gender other than male or female (intersex, indeterminate, unspecified, non-binary) may request that the gender in their ATD appear as X.

Sex isn’t a matter of “identifying” as something. It’s a biological reality. Progressive gender ideology cannot alter these facts, and it is unfortunate it has found its way into the identification documents of some countries.

> If the sole purpose of GitHub Actions is to run a few shell scripts in order, why does it have expression evaluation, conditions, and dozens of stock actions other than `run`?

For you to make that comment, I'm not sure you ever went through any basic intro to GitHub Actions tutorial.

GitHub Actions has 'run'.

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/workflo...

Now that we established that, GitHub Actions also supports custom actions, which is a way to create, share, and reuse high-level actions. Instead of copy-pasting stuff around, you do the equivalent of importing a third party module.

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/sharing-automations/creat...

Onboarding a custom GitHub Action does not prevent you from using steps.run.

I don't even know where to start regarding your comment on expression evaluation and conditions. Have you used a CICD system before?

The problem with half the comments in this thread railing against CICD in general, YAML, etc is that they clearly do not have a faintest idea about what they are doing, and are instead complaining about ther own inability.
