PerilousD

Its taking me awhile (about a month so far) but Im migrating my Google Pixel 5A to Google Pixel 10 Pro and GraphenOS. Its a step but seriously worth it to avoid the Google stink. RFC messaging is the only real breakage Ive seen so far in that folks that have me in a group msg dont work any more (actually that COULD work as a feature and so far everyone Ive talked to that swear they sent a msg are iPhone users so it could be another Google-Apple pissing contest underway.

Okay ill give you points because I never heard of Xteink X3or the open-source CrossPoint. I have a Kobo reader/pen note taker and a Kobo ereader (somewhere) one is too large and one is just meh. Im going to try one of these but it would have been easier to pick something if you actually said HOW DOES IT WORK OUT OF THE BOX AS AN ACTUAL EREADER!

If you are posting a "This be not good" warning on the toxic crap that is "X", then your credibility quotient with me just dropped by aT LEAST 20%, when it comes to my attention via a previously unknown to me, website (honest-broker.com?). You just dropped another 20% - basically you are a coin flip between reality, bs and delusional so...

Sorry - you lost me at manage with NO direct reports. You, maybe, manage the coffee orders for the board of directors? I don't know if they exist anymore, but IBM, Microsoft, HP used to call you folks "Fellows" not CTO's and a nice position if you can get it but get over yourself.

So I HOPE you cant mis-type an email address and get it sent to someone else. I get so many bank account statements, library book and device rental notices, car is ready for pickup, or from repair etc notices. ALL APPARENTLY from Bozos who dont know their OWN email addresses. On the other hand on the 2nd notice *I usually do not get a third) when I tell garages/ car impounds / parking spaces to sell the damn thing as Im done with it.

I guess that Harvard probably does not need the Feds as much as the Feds need Harvard but I'm glad they are standing up to the Fascists. I'm going to have to see what NYU is doing now.

I'm so glad I retired and can afford to say "No" with an occasional "Yes" if it's interesting :-)

I stopped using COBOL in 1978 and NEVER admitted to even knowing the language forever after. I'm making the sign of the cross and heading for a strong cup of coffee in the hope that I will never see this code :-)

(impressive that you did this)

Maybe you should have lead with an IOS RSS reader :-)

I got a little more than halfway into this long article, so I apologize if this was answered at some point. So what?

Many native English speakers can't pick up a pen and paper and write intelligibly and would be in real trouble if they lost their phones; an increasingly annoying number TALK into their phones, not even pretending to type and just spewing auto-corrected crap out into the world.

Damn - I took an (AI) image that I "created" a year ago that I liked and then you animated it AND let it sing Amazing Grace. Seeing IS believing this technology pretty much means video evidence ain't necessarily so.

These jokers seem like the AI version of "script kiddie" hackers, and OpenAI may be engaging in a bit of humble bragging. It doesn't take considerable investments in time or money to run local LLMs, INCLUDING ChatGPT, where your questions, prompts, and results are not sent home to the mothership, so it's a BS article as to (the real) actors who may or may not be doing this. NOW, if OpenAI or Gemini or LLama, etc, showed how they analyzed social media posts and flagged the ones that were AI generated and the analysis as to WHY the article is flagged, then that would be much more useful, actionable by at least some of the readers and would put the accounts spreading the content (particularly the rebroadcast fluffers) in the spotlight.

When you drink from the Google firehose it's not IF but WHEN you drown. I gave up on Google and their SEO metrics and crap almost two DECADES ago as it was clear where their DONT BE EVIL was going. Sheeple just put up with line after line of SPONSORED search results because the honestly have no clue, so it's NEVER been a level playing field. It just took you longer to join the ranks of the shafted. Now if you spend some time ENGAGING with your clients instead of "organic search growth" you may do better. I've dropped Reddit as well but you know GROUPS.IO? DISCORD? (useful but Im not a big fan), BLOGS - i.e build a community and give Google the digit.

The article said 2800 miles of testing? Was that a misprint - a single one-way trip from San Francisco to NY is about that distance? Does the FCC or the Air Force get final say in this maybe a little more testing? I AM aware there are drones so maybe a lot of that technology transfers over BUT then there should be a lot more than 2800 miles of flight time data applied no?

Another PAYWALL link? Anyone know of a ycombinator filter that just strips out links that go to wired bloomberg nytimes wapo etc so that they just don't even appear in the feed? Im thinking about playing with a viewer that just blocks them maybe just showing something like bubbabubba_domain_filterd instead and continues
