I'm sorry, that's messed up.

To be fair, some character development does take place: by the end, Harry has learned how to not be so frightening, and how to use his powers of effortless domination more strategically. There is a general failure of self-awareness here I have not seen outside Sonichu. It makes for genuinely harrowing reading.

Some insufferable dipshit that gets paid $10,000 bucks a week spent one of those weeks working on this.

I second kiwix. It's dead easy for managing and making copies of wiki images.

You can’t feed generative AI on ‘bad’ data then filter it for only ‘good’ data by o7___o7 in c/[email protected]

Look, AI will be perfect as soon as we have an algorithm to sort "truth" from "falsehood", like an oracle of some sort. They'll probably have that in GPT-5, right?

Chicago Sun-Times prints summer reading list full of fake books (arstechnica.com)

This is peak laziness. It seems that the reading list's author used autoplag to extrude the entire 60 page supplemental insert. The author also super-promises this has never happened before.

Pro-tier sneers by seasoned veterans, get em while they're hot!

Edit: I am reliably informed that it is no longer hot.

Nashville Developer Makes RealPage, but for Renters (web.archive.org)

Looks like a local boy did good.

I linked the /r/nashville post since it has a good description of the website. Users can see a history of rent prices for a given property and its neighbors, which gives some leverage in negotiations. For more context, local rent prices are down 6% from highs.

I'm curious to see if it takes off, and how robust it is against adversarial tactics like bogus reports and nuisance lawsuits.

EDIT: Fixed "Blocked" issue by linking to archive

John Mulaney gets paid by prompt fondlers to tell jokes at a party. He spends 45 minutes telling them that they are idiots, which is nice.
