hard to sell something people can't have though

It will be reversed after Trump makes some “deal” with Anthropic. I’ll put money on Taco Tuesday.

wordpress?

but but WordPress is written in PHP screeeee <explode type="nerd-apoplexy/>

except in ipv4 getting a link-local address means "I fucked up DHCP" and isn't really meant to be a feature it didn't really work in ipv4 land, and as per the OP, doesn't work in ipv6 land too. Just give everything a proper address and leave link-local to mdns or whatever it was meant to support

> except in ipv4 getting a link-local address means "I fucked up DHCP" […]

No, it means "there is no infrastructure on this link segment". No router (to send out IPv6 RAs), and (as you say) no (working) DHCP server.

Still being able to have network connectivity automatically in this scenario can still be handy. If mDNS is running on things, then the user doesn't even have to bother manually setting an address: the link light comes on and you have connectivity to the local segment.

I use qwen3.5 locally and it often outputs a lot of claude-isms. Claude actually stopped telling me that I'm absolutely right with every message, but Qwen still does.

I think that the convergence of these tics is just a symptom of distillation.

>But why the fuck should any company pay for an ad when the user explicitly searched for their product?

If you don't buy out the top-place for the query, someone else will. In a better case a competitor - imagine Facebook Marketplace being the top result for "ebay". In the worst - a phishing site. The latter happens quite often for software searches.

Right, but that's because Google permits that. OP is saying Google should simply stop permitting advertising over the real answer.

Why would Google give themselves less money?

There's a lot of reasons, but it's probably how Google makes most of their money - brand names end up being high value ad targets - at least 6+ years ago when I worked in that sphere of things (ecommerce, primarily). It's legit extortion.

I guess that's why - because extortion is immoral. Eventually, those paying the protection fees will eventually find someone better to pay or will stop paying when the protection doesn't show up.

Let me repeat myself

  >>>> When making more money requires degrading the product you know we've fucked up

That just sounds like business to me. You do whatever makes money.

Maybe it is today, but that's not how it's always been. The idea is that competition means the best product wins. But there's a lot it ways to degrade competition, not just monopolization. We're living in a lemon economy

There's never been any rule that the best product wins. Trivial example if I make RAM chips and give them away for free I'll lose.

This is called enshittification. Business behaves like with with the lack of regulations: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41277484

It should be illegal to mislead the users like this. The search terms weren't generic and didn't match anything.

I've been thinking recently of creating a programming language where you write mostly python, but can just "hand wave" away the boring stuff for the agent to do. If you don't want to deal with it, just type in a prompt or pseudocode and it will get filled in. Kinda like using the ai-assisted image editing software.

the main difference being that you don't switch between an agent chat window and the code. Just leave a note to the agent and go back to coding as usual, while the agent fills in the gap.

That’s really cool. I think you nailed it, English isn’t the best way to encode my intentions in code. A pseudo language is likely much more efficient.

Iran should have a nuke. Might finally bring some peace.

Wishing nuclear holocaust on the world was also a view that was abhorrent in this site 15 years ago.

I don't think it would result in anyone getting nuked. It would result in an end to bombings on Iran.

all that matters is next quarter.

That's implied

Funniest thing is how this compares to web browsers impersonating each other in the user agent string. Should Mozilla sue everyone?

I just end up sleeping every time I try that.

That's normal. Your body and mind probably need rest. But keep trying and eventually you'll be able to stay awake and imagine some really wonderful things. Better than any YouTube video or Netflix show, guaranteed.

Also, try smaller time intervals. Maybe start with a couple of minutes every day and increase the time slowly every week.
