I would say just continue using Obsidian but encrypt your devices. If you want to back up the files use rsync with encryption.

I think the problem is that physicians are self-selected to be highly intelligent and driven individuals. Med school is not at all a walk in the park, and is very competitive.

You cannot compare the median physician who endured the years of grueling med school and residency to an average developer. FAANG is probably a more apt comparison.

Figured it out. 3.5 Flash and 3.5 Transcribe are different models

I'm confused, doesn't your leaderboard clearly show it is the most accurate model? It's number one in the leaderboard. Am I missing something?

I have a speech impediment and currently a junior engineer.

Will this actually prevent me from getting promoted? :(

Maybe I should look into some speech therapy but not exactly sure how effective that is past a certain age.

Might be a crazy statement, but I believe Meta is on the right track. Right now, I think most people can clearly see that more and more people are getting addicted to the little device in their hand.

The "Metaverse" is going to be a more interactive, immersive extension of that device. I also believe that Meta's superintelligence team isn't necessarily about achieving AGI, but rather, creating personable, empathetic LLMs. People are so lonely and seeking friendship that this will be a very big reason to purchase their devices and get tapped into this world.

Surely this would be easy to fix with a simple script that runs on a VPS to alert you on a platform of your choice, maybe using something like Apprise (https://github.com/caronc/apprise). Get the notification as an email, on Discord, Signal, etc.

This does complicate the system a bit, but still low overhead in my opinion.

Beautiful web page. Author is a front-end developer at Canva according to his Twitter/X.

> It really is a sick joke that the experience for gaming, music and video is all far, far better for those who _don't_ pay than for those who do.

Denuvo is effective enough that if a game has it, it is almost impossible to pirate. So in most cases, it is either pay or do not play the game at all.

There was one key player who knew how to crack Denuvo DRM. They went by the name Empress but haven't cracked anything in the past year, and also mentally deranged, often including very transphobic rants in the NFO file of the torrents they release.

If you were working with code that was proprietary, you probably shouldn't of been using cloud hosted LLMs anyways, but this would seem to seal the deal.

Wisconsin local, currently attending UW-Madison for CS, and visited the Epic Campus when I was going to a local high school less than 30 minutes out. Talking to the engineers and exploring the campus is what solidified my choice in deciding to become a software engineer, so thank you Epic!

Still feels like the solution here is just using Windows 10 IoT LTSC to avoid all this madness. It's a bloated product that feels worse to use than Windows 10, plain and simple.
