@jon fuck clock spider we got router spider

@jon NO.

@jon I'm sure this is an effective way to splay out the antenna but also.. :neocat_0_0:

Hey boss, we need another access point for the room. It got wet.
How did it get wet?
Someone thought it was a big spider and threw a cup at it..

@jon "It undoubtedly has a lens through which it sees the world. That’s fine in itself — everyone does — but by removing context, you remove the clues that help you figure out what it is."
This is a disclaimer that should be displayed on every LLM-based tool.

@jon it is good, and the takes shouldn't be limited to Arc Search, they stand up for gen AI in general.

@jon @Gargron worst take. His beef is with the search engines Arc uses. For many, many users Arc will make the web more accessible. And the best part of it: no more ads, the plague of the modern web.
What Arc doesn‘t do: dispense you from checking its answers. But it makes it easier by giving you fewer sources.
Does anyone seriously think Google is the way we will search for answers in 10 years? It’s getting worse every week…

@jon Did that last December: replaced all embedded tweets by captures...

@jon @internetarchive Clever!

@jon

They should be embarrassed. They’re not. I consider it a handy indicator of whom I free to ignore.

@jon edited for anyone who just wants spoon cat

@jon The first can be problematic if there is an account on your server (and it could happen) that has same username but it is a totally different person, it mentions a wrong person then.

The latter is... I dunno how can I type that character on my keyboard. But as others said: I consider this as an email address. In emails I mention the full email address to ensure the recipient(s) can reach the mentioned person.

So, for me, it will stay @hron84@twitter.com forever.

@jon Possibly my OCD talking, but I wish we could omit the preceding "@". Stupid email, hogging the namespace! And I wish there was a way to unambiguously flag which service a qualified username refers to, without having to add an out of band clarification, or expecting users to either know domains by heart, or visit them in a browser to check.

@jon @lime360@gamejolt.com

@jon this is my worst favorite thing

@jon that's an amazing website! 😂

@Mastodon

@jon @Mastodon wow I kinda feel dumb not thinking of this, I have a few accounts I’m always searching for to see if I missed anything. Thanks!

@jon @Mastodon og mabi didn't realize you could do this.

@jon @Gargron I thought this was Jupiter at first

@jon mine too! But with hair ties. That's so funny.

@jon I keep watching this.
