Comparatively, as I have both a Costco and Sam's Club memberships, the floorplans on Costco stores are much more efficient. Both stores get crowded but Sams suffers from poor design which makes traffic worse. Although, Sams does compensate with a smoother checkout experience.

Applause for the pun.

When working with ultrasound, I think of it the context of a micro-agitator versus the large scale shaking, snipping, and slapping clothes against rocks methods.

What is old is new again. Pre Search engines, this was one of the best ways to get around. Find site/link libraries and run a search in page against the link descriptions.

Creating an unflattering online review has such a low bar for confirming identity. It would not be a surprise for a law firm advertising the review takedown service were hiring bot farms to leave reviews at scale, create their own market.

A couple of tweaks. The prompt suggested a "profitable" station but did not include finer details that the profitability needs to be in competition with the other AI stations. This creates a known input for periodic reference feedback.

Other parameters which may address the Claude strike might be to outline a goal of most profitable, experiment with genre and content with goal to become the most profitable show on a station that contains different shows. The show with highest listener engagement will get a coveted time slot to boost their revenue.

Great memories. The human engagement was more genuine to everyday in-person interactions than the current state of MMORPGs and even most Social platforms. The game was also great in how extensible it was. Too great in some aspects that allowed botting, but accessible enough that general public, coding novices experienced an "intro to scripting" to create sophisticated macros.

Had similar discussion around prompting. Spend years clearly outlining required data inputs, creating forms to dummy proof communication from users. Now that AI is in the picture, users are willing to learn to write elaborate Shakespearean-scale prompts. They are more willing to learn how to communicate to a computer more than how to clearly communicate to a human.

It's possible to stop gifs if the domain framed them with the proper code. Unfortunately many people believe gif = png,jpg and exert zero effort to handle them differently.

In contrast. A third party created a bogus profile of a global brand and began releasing unfavorable content as though they were the brand. The global brand leveraged their relationship with Google to shutdown the profile (which could be labeled as satirical). Google went on to provide the private account and contact info of the third party posting. It was discovered the third-party was a subcontractor/vendor to the global brand. The global brand shut down all work with the party and had them black-balled in their industry.

The Irish gov't wasn't spending enough ad dollars for Google to care.

YouTube isn't the only Google property knowingly allowing scams, Google Maps has some interesting activity if you dive into it. A "policy", regulation, or law only matters if it is enforceable and enforced.

The digital platform policies are relatively meaningless, subjective enforcement, appeasement measure for advertisers. You will not see the needle move on video as fraud until the commission model for talent fees and use rights change for digital. A talent fee commission model results in industry tracking of creative content in order to route talent fees to actors and musicians. It is a secondary layer of tracking with funds attached that forces a platform to respond when illegal use of image and identity is reported.

Agree, most work seems to treat the brain as the sole locus of neurological activity when the brain is one piece of a system.

To give a parallel, your high blood pressure may not be due to your heart, as it may be responding to a system of factors. Vasodilation and vasoconstriction of blood vessels have a direct impact. Your kidney health, an organ outside of your circulatory system can trigger high blood pressure. O2 and CO2 levels in the blood can trigger a response.

Looking at the brain in a vacuum will only get us so far.

A fasting pill? Like GLP-1 drugs which reduce hunger and thus reduce food intake? There might be a market for something like that.

While that would work as an estimate of total sq meters, applying that scale in a localized area would have too much of an impact on wind/currents, inversion, and the downstream of those changes.

First targets would be urban heat islands and airports. Second would be industrial and manufacturing facilities. Regulations and Nimby would likely mean manufacturing and industrial would be more quick to adapt for use.

The case for urban heat islands is pretty straightforward, but the application with airports would be to mitigate the heat trapping that takes place, especially overnight. Exhaust from flights result in more heat being trapped, similar to urban heat island but due to atmospheric effects and not solely due to surface materials and lack of greenspace.

The collective sentiment is that using "X" will make searching and referencing the platform and actions in the platform more challenging. "Did you 'X' it?"

Someone in the branding team will make a juvenile tag line of "X marks the spot" and ironically it might catch on for the sake of people calling the platform "the spot". "Did you find 'the spot' for it?"

Going through the comments and felt the same nostalgia. Everyone is pitch perfect with the tone of the conversation 30 years ago. Camps of "leave well enough alone", "not another language", "big corporations trying to cash in on this internet trend".

Back in the day, some of us were programming snobs. Personally guilty of making comments downplaying the value of HTML and JavaScript.

Generally, a "take-over" is a guarantee from a publisher that all ad slots appearing on a specific page will only deliver ads for a single advertisers for a limited time period, usually a day or two.

Variations on "take-over" exist where you may have a "branded slate" in which the normal framing and background of the site will also be updated to align (and sometimes synchronize) with the "take-over" ads for that day.

You have likely visited imdb.com at some point in time. With so many TV shows and movies premiering throughout the year, IMDB has a higher frequency of "take-overs" than an average site.

The "pop-ups" or interstitials did decrease due to being bad design & bad consumer experience, but have returned and are now overrun with publisher sign-in and privacy/consent interstitials.

There was a second flaw in the premise between print publishers and websites. Some print publishers inflate circulation numbers when attempting to sell ad space in an attempt to make the ad space appear more valuable.

Similar double-selling of television ads take place as well. A network ad may run in the network feed and will appear in the network affidavit logs as having run. Local affiliates supercede network feeds all the time and in some of those cases they do so during a network ad pod and run station-sold ads. Consumer sees only one of the TV ads but both get reported as run.

Fraud in advertising isn't something new or isolated to the online medium.
