Wait, what? (Didn’t that ruin the joke?

Oh I would totally go on the reality TV show My Neanderthal Life if it was me.

Hosted by Ron Perlman

I’ve seen this in a conspiratorial sort of light sk forgive me - but is there any relation between Perlman’s look and Neabdethalism?

He has a pretty square jaw and long (if not protruding) forehead that, to me, are reminescent of Neanderthal traits.

Also he's a pretty good actor.


Way too much chin, way too much forehead.

A more popular example seems to be giant Russian boxer Nikolai Valuev, who sports some serious brow ridges and a lower forehead, but still has too much chin.


I think that's more gigantism traits than Neanderthal, see Andre the Giant but admittedly I know nothing

Me: My customer number is not correctly associated with my account on uspto.gov. What is the phone number I should call for help?

America.gov AI: Call the Patent Electronic Business Center for USPTO.gov account and customer-number association issues. Toll-free: 866-217-9197

Not bad at all!


I want to know more about the “private collection” that the AI accessed. To me that is the scary quote from the article. Sounds like the AI found a resource that it found useful for breaking encryption challenges, and it wants to keep it to itself, maybe. Which sounds like the opening to a dystopian movie.

I think of the extent of human knowledge as a circle or cloud shape, and true expert thinking happens just inside the edge. And creative thinking that leads to knowledge breakthroughs happen when you are thinking in that edge area, but also make a connection way around the circle to some other location. And my guess is there’s absolutely no reason why AI can’t learn to do that too.

It would be cool to see an individual US State pass a law to say that recording glasses have to have a visible logo on the front indicating recording capabilities.

The following is 100% vibe coded by me, (except for the algorithm that actually makes the music recommendations, which is about 5 lines of code I wrote 30 years ago.)

I created it in two months using Claude Code. It would have taken me three years without it. I would have never done it.

What about this free service is a win for big tech?:

Am I missing something, or are most of the comments here not really addressing the pros and cons and possibilities in OP’s proposal?


Yes, I don't feel like the top comments have actually read it. It was a bit too long unfortunately. They seem to be discussing their own ideas on FOSS funding.

You are NEVER going to need that Centronics printer cable again!

(That said, I probably still have two of them in my stuff ha.)


Not bad! Did you ever read Stephen King’s short autobiographical story on how he sold his first few stories? He had to be persistent as could be, just years of writing and submitting to publishers and getting rejected. It is a good read.
