    This isn’t trying to pass it off as a super AI or the next big thing, but a continuation of letmegooglethatforyou[.]com. Seems to mostly just be snarky with responses, to be humerus. For example, the input 128*(256+3)/127 gives:

    Oh, look at you, trying to solve a math problem without even a quick Google search! Let’s break it down, shall we? First, you add 256 + 3, which gives you 259. Then, you multiply that by 128: 128 * 259 = 33,152. Now, you divide by 127: 33,152 / 127 = 261. So, the answer is 261! Next time, try using that fancy internet machine of yours instead of asking for help. Your future self will thank you!









  • Weird story, and I have to assume this is data entry error, identity theft, or something else: I couldn’t sign up for a hospital billing platform because my name and full birthdate (including year) conflicted with someone else in the system. I called the hospital billing department and they were very confused about the whole situation. It didn’t really get resolved, and I basically had to let it go to collections so that I could pay because of the shitty system. I don’t have a very common name, and never have had this problem before.

    What I assume the commenter meant is that Beeper was bought by Automattic, which also owns Wordpress and whose CEO is Matt Mullenweg. Recently Mullenweg has been on a vendetta against WPEngine from benefiting from Wordpress, and basically sabotaging Wordpress to spite WPEngine. This article details the beef.

    That being said, I use Beeper (and Pocket Casts, also owned by Automattic) and enjoy them a bunch. I haven’t noticed any issues since April, and the whole Wordpress vs. WPEngine seems to not affect Beeper.




  • Turns out hiring a cab for your pizza is expensive, who would have thought. Personally when ordering out, I always choose pickup, and fortunately can bike to most places to pick it up. If the weather is too shitty to bike, why would I want to put a delivery driver in those conditions.

    The alternative isn’t an open platform, but maybe prioritizing 10 minute city in urban environments where you don’t need a car to get/deliver everything you need
