I completely forgot this existed.

I like the occasional feature of appending a question mark to your query to get a nice summarizer to comb through the internet so I don't, but I only use it a few times a month.


A few years ago, someone on Twitter had a really cool proposal for how to revamp the entire format of the Oscars, even taking the importance of commercials into account, but I can't for the life of me find it anymore.

A lot of people also got into buying Macs for OpenClaw, so demand is probably up as well.

What's the deal with the Mac Mini and Openclaw? a vps is a better alternative.

is it because iMessage?


You do actually need to run it on a Mac, if (and only if!) you require integration with Mac-only software. But the main factor is probably just "all the cool kids are doing it" ;)

iMessage… and safari. Browsing the web from a headless vps has hurdles.

Hooking things up to puppeteer maybe?

You can use pupeteer to then use the chromium control remote (debug?) option iirc which uses websockets underneath the hood

Then you can connect this from your pc or theoretically any Control server. Surprised to not hear much work on that front now that you mention it.


The CDP debugger is easily detectable client side and many websites will flag your traffic as undesirable

I didn't know that, Sorry about that, but is there no way to make CDP debugger less detectable. Seems doable to me but maybe there's a catch if its not already done by somebody maybe?

there is so many way to make it undetectable, but it is cat and mouse game.

iMessage is the only explanation I can find. Minis aren’t powerful enough for agentic models unless you’re getting a rather expensive version (I could see the MX Pro w/ 64GB working). At which point they don’t have the price appeal of the base model anymore.

Yeah on the discord you see a lot of people asking about how much RAM they need to run local models. There seems to be a lot of demand for it.

I am not convinced there are that many people actually buying macs for OpenClaw.

Also came across this today about how Meta is allotting 5% of ad spend on AI testing for Gen AI. Which leads to unintentional Gen AI promotions across Instagram and Facebook - mind you for companies who paid for the promotion.

What I'm curious about is whether this payment information is from spending money or from YouTube's requirement of doing a symbolic credit card payment to authenticate that you're an adult - and other potential checks for YouTube partners.

Basically YouTube's form of age verification that takes place such as when they can't figure out whether to serve you mature videos or not.


Speaking of hosting, Discord used to be one of the biggest (inadvertent) image hosts, so they might have set up the system to reduce legal exposure than to monitor conversations per se.[1]

A lot of the internet broke the day they flipped that switch off.

Weren't external Tumblr hotlinks also a thing back in the day?

From an accessibility perspective, the HTML emoji might be an issue for screen readers.

You can still keep them as `h2#foo::before{content: "emoji ";}` CSS pseudo-elements instead, if memory serves.

(Used "emoji" as a placeholder to ensure it renders in the example.)

Great project; (way) more websites should look like this.


The number of times I've read articles about the upcoming "Silicon Valley in Europe" warrants an article running through the last twenty years of the EU getting its act together "any day now".


I checked out the website, and it looks more like Instagram than TikTok. We've had a few TikTok-like apps, and it didn't work out. Even the people behind Vine couldn't make their own Byte app take off:

TikTok showed that the platform lives and dies by the algorithm and ease of use. I'm not even a huge fan of TikTok's recommendations these days with too much slop slipping through the cracks. And their comment moderation is some of the worst.

If another platform ever gets popular enough, I'm sure the same people will find another way to neutralize it.


Yeah, I read about this thing called network effects on blue sky.


stream.place[1] operates in a similar way but for stream livechats! We haven't even begun to scratch the surface on how Bluesky comments are going to be used, apparently.
