People want to remain valuable and this tool takes that away. As long as you still find meaningful ways to contribute, all is good. But this says nothing about all the skills mastered that have been rendered effectively useless. And in time, as this tool gets better, it could rob you of the agency to change your environment.

I’d like to hear an explanation of what mastered skills are useless?

"Computer" used to be a job title https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_(occupation)

Very nice, how did you manage to bypass sites with cloudflare turnstile setup?

Flaresolverr most probably

I am curious about the project. Can you provide a clear description?

It is something I can build a business with, without being transparent about the technical advantage. So perhaps I shouldn't have commented here. But it is a milestone moment, a big milestone after a long haul, and the "What are you working on" subject on this particular month hit me in a celebratory way.

On the business side, things seem to be well lined up.

So my apologies for being indirect. Not trying to be "mysterious".

I just favorited your comment. So at any moment I feel I can be more straightforward I will reply to any comment you make in any other thread. That will be a good moment too.

In what field?

Information theory, with practical applications.

I remember reading an article about how these companies were big bad conglomerates who had complete ownership over valuable personal data. Not really downplaying the potential harm that can come with these "assets" in the wrong hands, but nice to know corporate is so inefficient they couldn't even avoid bankruptcy... it will be a long time before they can even hope to orchestrate complex nefarious schemes.

...who do you think is gonna buy 23andMe when they go bankrupt?

I would expect bin Salman or emirati royal to buy it.

I would still rather be doing tech right now than anything else. Job market is not as good as it used to be, but it is still better than other work.

Honestly, I kind of only just scanned the article because it was clearly written by GPT.

I run my personal site off of Hugo. You can load some decent themes and adding new content is a relatively painless process.

But I do feel like there is a cost to using static site generators. Raw HTML is easier to work with if you aren't dealing with a lot of similar pages.

Build times can be annoying. I have a bicycle shop's website in Hugo, full generation takes about a few dozen seconds, upload using rsync easily a minute because of many nested directories with images. I ended up writing a script to only upload changed html and new images unless needed.

You know there was a time when we had to wait dozens of seconds for the modem to finish its handshake before you could do anything.

80s or 70s geezer, huh?

60s grandgeezer here. try waiting a week or two, to find out that your punched card batch job didn't even compile, let alone run, because of a single character typo you made. back to square zero.

kids these days ...

Played the bot for a little while. No pieces came off the entire game(30 moves)... interesting concept but at a loss as to how you should be making progress.
