The built-in ad blocker of the Vivaldi browser

Ugh, an ad-block force wall. No visit.

LLMs are really crappy at writing books right now.

However there is zero evidence they will not get better, in fact they are getting exponentially better all the time at all tasks which are getting measured.

My bet is on LLMs soon being able to put out mediocre fiction, and then not much later great fiction, indistinguishable from the best authors out there.

When you have 100+ feeds you really want to avoid reading twice the same entry. It’s the single most important feature in an RSS reader for me.

I visited Italy last summer, enjoyed it a lot, but let me tell you the trains’ timing was a mess, perhaps the most stressful part of the trip. Never on time and in a bad way (so it eats up any connection buffer time). Well, after the car rental, but that’s another story.

Prince of Persia, it’s mighty fun!

I have different experience with Vivaldi, been using it for years, and it’s amazing.

love it so far! not finished yet, but it is a lot of fun

The new Prince of Persia demo, and Child of Light, which I just started the other day.

Almost like it is not a for-profit company, and the investors interests are not a priority…

I’ve been reading on an iPad mini for years, dark mode, and I have no complaints, never had any sleeping issues. For me the e-ink reader really shines at the beach, irreplaceable there.

Here’s an AI bot’s summary:

Cory Doctorow gave a talk about the concept of “ensh*ttification” - how internet platforms start out good, then abuse users to benefit businesses, then abuse businesses to benefit themselves, until they die.

He argues today’s big tech firms like Facebook and Google have undergone ensh*ttification, withdrawing value from users and business partners to benefit shareholders.

Doctorow says ensh*ttification happens due to lack of competition, companies’ ability to “twiddle the knobs” with no transparency, and laws that criminalize modifying platforms.

He proposes halting consolidation, limiting companies’ twiddling abilities, and restoring the right to modify platforms through “adversarial interoperability.”

This will help shift control of technology from giant companies to small ones, co-ops, nonprofits and user communities.

Tactics include blocking mergers, mandating open APIs, government procurement rules favoring interoperability, and rolling back laws against modifying platforms.

The goal is a “new good internet” that succeeds the old open internet and avoids the pitfalls of today’s walled gardens. Doctorow urges spreading these ideas to seize opportunities in future crises.
