I also made some dumb number entering shenanigans for https://faxyourballs.com/

My favorite was suggested by a friend: the radial button selection for every digit, but with digit “10” sorted up at the top.

I should go add some more…

Quit rewriting history, those were absolutely not lowball milestones.

If Mr. Musk were somehow to increase the value of Tesla to $650 billion — a figure many experts would contend is laughably impossible and would make Tesla one of the five largest companies in the United States, based on current valuations — his stock award could be worth as much as $55 billion

That is a quote from this contemporary article: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/23/teslas-pay-deal-to-keep-elon-musk-all-or-nothing.html

The reason his last pay package of 50 billion was awarded to him is because he met the milestones for that. It was a similar deal to this one where they set top end milestones that everyone felt were ridiculous and they’d never hit them. Mostly stock targets IIRC.

Yes and no. Like yes, that can be true. But a lot of tools don’t handle commas correctly no matter how you escape them.

The only problem with that plan is that there is no way to know that a Klansman would be in the image until you open it.

So you’re also contributing to the declining viewership that these channels are complaining about. They make no money off of your watch time so to them it is the same as no view at all.

And use what instead?

You still think it’s sketchy?

I’ve explained that it’s perfectly normal, that it’s just someone who wants to use Unicode in their domain name (in this case because they probably speak a non-ascii based language), and most good web clients should be showing that link as the Unicode characters. Firefox for example shows that as the proper Unicode directly.

It literally is just a way for non-english speakers to have a domain name in their native language.

Are you talking about the “xn—“ domain name? Because FYI that’s just a punycode domain. It’s pretty commonly used for non-ascii domains. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode

The article itself is only available over Tor or I2P anyways though.

I have started, and ended, many bar chats over this. I am a firm believer in the cube rule above all other starch based food classification systems.

How do you make it illegible for LLMs?

I wish our societies picked base-12 instead of base-10.

Me too! https://jackson.dev/post/base-10-was-a-mistake/

So you prefer ad supported content?

130ms is perceivable but still quite small, and you’d only hit it once per domain (per TTL). If you care enough to intentionally use it then I wouldn’t worry about it. You’ll rarely notice the difference.

There are a few other services with similar ethos that you may want to check out as alternatives. Quad9 is the one I remember off the top of my head.

Some things do charge different amounts though. YouTube Premium for example is more expensive if you subscribe in iOS but maybe that’s just because it’s Google.

They also could have just not let anyone subscribe through the iOS app. Lots of things do that.

Japan already passed a law that explicitly allows training on copyrighted material. And many other countries just wouldn’t care. So if it becomes a real problem the companies will just move.

I think they need to figure out a middle ground where we can extract value from the for profit AI companies but not actually restrict the competition.

I don’t think they’re wrong in saying that if they aren’t allowed to train on copyrighted works then they will fall behind. Maybe I missed it in the article, but Japan for example has that exact law (use of copyright to train generative AI is allowed).

Personally I think we need to give them somewhat of an out by letting them do it but then taxing the fuck out of the resulting product. “You can use copyrighted works for training but then 50% of your profits are taxed”. Basically a recognition that the sum of all copyrighted works is a societal good and not just an individual copyright holders.
