The other day, I sent a friend a link to my project. He asked, “When can I use it?”

I was confused because the project was already available, with detailed setup instructions, an `llms.txt`, and everything else needed to get started.

Then he showed me a screenshot of him asking ChatGPT about it. Apparently, ChatGPT was using some outdated cached information or something, because it gave him a wall of text explaining that the project was still “coming soon” and wasn't ready to use.

If he'd just opened the landing page, he would've seen that the project was already available.

Times are changing! Remember when it was easy to set up WiFi, but difficult to call your doctor and get an appointment?

Now my friends don't have trouble calling doctors, but can't set up port forwarding (not like any games require it anymore).

In the US, my experience is that it's more difficult than ever to get an appointment with a doctor.

Here in NL as well. I attribute it to population ageing (babyboom generation), but AFAIK that issue is much less severe in USA than other countries which suffered in WWII. China is going to have the issue severe due to the one child policy. That population is going to get reduced a lot (not taking into account migration).

In my EU country, making an appointment got extra steps asking about one's mental state, namely depression or loneliness. One wonders if this age of social atomization, people (probably mostly those elderly) are making unnecessary appointments just to have someone to talk to.
reply
That may be part of it but my guess is that since patients tend not to proactively mention depression and loneliness to their doctor, the doctor's office wants to know in advance whether they should be referring you to a mental health specialist.

>can't set up port forwarding

After October 2026, nobody should be port-forwarding IMHO.

I am next to learn about the "tailscale options" of this new world.

Wish us all luck.

Local minecraft server definitely requires port forwarding at the router... as I've learned to my chagrin that Starlink doesn't support port forwarding... Goodbye self hosted minecraft. Did it for nearly a decade and cannot anymore.

I just wanted a human recommendation; don't trust the LLMs at all.

Thanks for the link (above).
