I doubt they’re referring to feature parity WRT machine learning summaries and the like. “Less useful over time” is more likely a gentle way of saying ungraceful performance degradation.

Escalation in the SEO wars is accelerating. Various culprits but obviously generative NLP technologies designed specifically to sound human are nukes in this metaphor.

Any index developer that isn’t willing or can’t afford to continue fighting the war must choose:

1. host a legacy product that rapidly enshittifies
2. pull the plug now while it still works

If the index is the developer’s only product, the only real risk of option 1 is damaging their street cred.

In OP’s case, the index was not even their core product, so option 2 was the wiser decision.

Pretty sure they meant “[have been] loaned” but you make an interesting point

Vast majority of NYers will take that as an endorsement for Zohran.

What’s the angle I’m missing here? Flip Sliwa voters? Mobilize MAGA non-voters? How would this boost Cuomo more than it boosts Zohran?

Lowkey for real though.

One of the trigger issues expediting their antitrust case during the first administration was their lack of responsiveness to old yam tits’ demands re: their “biased” search index results (they included critical news articles) and while the major consequence of the case (breakup) was recently prevented (by the current administration) now, coincidentally, they’re happy to play ball.

Oh that’s the one in the back.

/j they’re about 2.5T

If withholding doesn’t match tax burden

AND difference exceeds the $1500 quarterly buffer. That is, you only owe penalties if your withholding is more-than-a-little off in your favor.

I mention that because it’s an important detail for a useful tip re: filling w-4s. Since the withholding percentage is just an estimate based on that form, including the number of allowances you specify, it’s usually a good idea to “tune” that number to prevent over-withholding and, preferably, err somewhat in your favor.

It’s better to owe taxes on your return. If the IRS owes you, it means you inadvertently gave them an interest-free loan last year.

Glad you got that off your chest.

I’ve always used wooden toothpicks because

1. Common
2. Made from cheap soft wood: more likely to deform or destruct against metal than most plastics
3. Cut with the grain: especially soft to anything raking against the sides (like delicate pins)
4. The uneven “splintery” sides happen to be pretty good at snagging tiny fibers of lint to pull them out as one big ball, requiring fewer swipes

More techniques:

• clean with port facing straight down to get gravity assist
• blow across the opening of the port: mild negative pressure + agitation inside cavity vs blowing directly into port (which is generally warned against explicitly)
• focus on “pinning” lint up against each of the two corners and holding gentle pressure during extraction: these corners of the port have no exposed pins, and happen to be where lint tends to accumulate anyway

I assume it’s meant to poison data scraped for AI training. I’m not sure it works** but I don’t think they’re just trying to be an ass.

** E: mainly because a lot of DE time is devoted to prepping training data and we’re especially good at automatically correcting minor and consistent aberrations (common typos and other transcription errors) in large datasets

On top of that, surrounding yourself with fake experts (chosen specifically for their willingness to say anything you want to hear) seems like a great way to never know what’s actually going on.

His political career up to that point, considered alongside his campaign and the absolute din of his first two years in office, to me paints a picture of a sincere but outspoken dreamer whose tropical personality was much better at whistling up a storm than steering his ship into it.

I think it’s fair to describe many aspects of his platform as “progressive” but ultimately he took no for an answer too often to actually be one in hindsight. I won’t diminish the good work he did, and respect the many firsts he achieved, but his lingering imposter syndrome kept him from using the mandate we gave him while he had the chance.

Right, a strategy of hostage-taking can work for a terrorist, but it’s a contract. It only works so long as your opponent has reason to think you’ll keep it.

No one alive today is more notorious for breaking contracts than this guy, and since January, he’s taken hostages hundreds of times and hasn’t kept his end even once. He ALWAYS shoots them anyway, just to feel less small.

So it couldn’t be simpler: there’s no reason or excuse to cooperate, and any who do at this point are some combination of imbecile, coward, or collaborator.

Oh I see. For a minute I imagined a hybrid pv panel product with integrated batts controller etc and was intrigued by the all-in-one concept lol.

For many of the SEAS doctoral programs at his Alma Mater, the Masters is built in, but I guess the UCBerk program lets you skip it.

UV cure gel polish FTW!

If it’s been a while, check out the cool new magnetic (ferrous) polish.

Also, cheap fun hack: save money by just mixing mica powders into base polish colors. Endless varieties of iridescent colors, dimensional effects, etc.

Lol yeah hmm, not countersunk, //shrug maybe strong arm, new to firs, happens

Hi NYers. Since this is one of Zohran’s priorities, gentle reminder that there’s 2 more days of early voting. Sun is out right now and polling center lines are at their shortest. https://vote.nyc/

I think no one can answer this definitively, but I’m willing to say no to militias, for various reasons (longer conversation).

What we have here is to some extent a privilege of urban density, but it’s more of a “watch” than a militia. In short, civil disobedience. People volunteer as eyes/ears and meat shields for their neighbors. I haven’t yet been detained but have accepted the possibility.

The reason it works better is another long conversation but, in short, it ensures every attack of the enemy costs them something, and sometimes quite a lot. The resulting war of attrition is winnable because each act of unwarranted aggression erodes legitimacy, boosts recruitment, and increases public resolve.

Kicked back. Overruled by 2/3 supermajority in house+senate.

Given that the EO exceeded branch powers in the first place, that there is now blood in the water, and considering how unpopular this additional sales tax is becoming among both consumers and business owners, it’s not impossible that votes would flip to overturn.

In that case, however, expect another EO to preempt the result by yet again reversing tariffs for specific cases.

All of this back and forth takes time. We won’t be completely rid of tariffs until the 2026 midterms, at the earliest, and that is only if a supermajority of “Demoncrats” and “RINOs” are elected, unfortunately.

Businesses could revolt and stop collecting tariffs in anticipation of this, but it’s a risk they probably won’t take, because they’re all afraid of Trump.
