Max should continue disrespecting as long as George continues to whine about Max not just moving over for him.

Always disappointing to see them trot out the same thing every year.

Sad trombone. I feel bad for the guy because I think he tried as hard as he could but it was a case of too much money, not enough talent.

It was a good event, even if we had to poke fun at Mike Crack for no reason. We are for sure at peak stage design these days. They had a variety of ways of introducing each car/team that kept it interesting and not feel super repetitive. I would’ve liked a few more sentences from each driver, but whatever I guess there’s not much to say except let’s get racing.

Looking good, an improvement on last year. Still not a lot of paint though. (But I’m a fan of exposed carbon so, win)

Considering that X still has advertisers (and more returning), I don’t think a little swearing in excitement or frustration is going to have any impact on sponsors or advertising.

The best livery this year IMO. I wanted to see more of the Suzuka special livery from RB and here we are.

Still one of the best liveries there will ever be.

I am happy to see Gulf with Williams, opens the door for another great one like the one-off McLaren had.

Seems like this graph is mostly saying people are getting more opinionated.

Oli or Esteban?

And the fastest lap goes back to literally and figuratively being pointless. lol

If Aston can replace Lance, they might actually have a shot at the title before the end of the decade.

He’s a fine brand ambassador, just keep him out of the racing seat.

He could break the cycle and make it successful… but I’m betting it will just be another Vettel re-run.

Ad revenue while it does convert free-service users to dollars isn’t the only means of commercialization (traditional business subscriber models for one) and as long as any financial incentives are there (not just ad-related), there will be spam of all kinds. Any general purpose medium will be come subject to this, it’s inevitable.

To the large point, a very very small amount of users have the means, capability or desire to host their own networks and services. Raising the technical bar means lowering the audience size. Even then, you’ll still find bad actors and people you don’t agree with.

I’m old enough to have had one and a Tripod and Prodigy page for that matter. I still don’t think the analogy holds up at all. Geocities was a single centralized commercial entity even. People contributed the content and they hosted it, this is still to this very day what traditional web hosting is. What I guess you want is more authentic, personal content?

If AI content is a chief concern, what would be the mechanism to stop the flow of it that couldn’t be applied (at a technical level) to the internet as it exists today? Or what human-driven policies could be made and policed better on a new network that nobody truly owns? (hint: this is already the internet)

Why would you want to replace the internet at a technical level, which is what the post appears to be focused on?

There’s plenty of arguments to burn-it-down at a social level, but building a second technical implementation doesn’t get you around those. Having individuals own more of the core doesn’t do much when the network level itself is largely neutral to the content that passes through it.

Also the core of the internet is built around big, fat pipes. Those are beyond the means of most hobbiest folks running their own equipment. Without those pipes, traffic will reach bottlenecks easily and usability will suffer.

• I just need a good 7 hours of sleep at least. You can’t cheat sleep duration. Eventually, you’ll need to catch up if you aren’t getting enough and it’ll compound the bad feeling.
• I fall asleep faster if I’ve had a drink, but not necessarily better. I might wake up in the middle of the night if I do.
• Pattern is important. If you usually wake up at 9 or 10am and want to wake up at 5 or 6am instead, you’ll probably have some meh feeling regardless, but the more you do it, the better it gets. Maybe consider moving your normal wake up time closer to the earliest times you want to wake up.
