That's an imperial meter, a standard SI meter is about ten percent longer.

It happens on all the big platforms.

There is no way to reach useful support. Computer says no, and that's it.

Don't get dependent on these services in the first place. You are not the user, you never were. You are one of the used. You are not important to them.

Find a local community and make real connections. With real people.

The language is perhaps ambiguous.

"Sickness absence" can be read as "absence of sickness (thus being healthy)" or "absence (from work) due to sickness".

A reduction of sickness absence can be interpreted as a reduction of "not being sick", i.e. an increase in sickness.

But the original reply was perhaps just being pedantic in jest.

Export in mbox format. Every mail client, now and in the future, will be able to read that.

This is, trivially, not intelligent nor conscious:

  function add(x): return x + 1; end.

An LLM has a bit of randomness to its calculations but that does not change the fact that

  function add_random(x): return x + rand(1, 10); end

is also just math. No personality. There's nobody home. After the function ends there is no residue.

An LLM does a lot of calculations but that doesn't change how it works.

Useful robotics are heavy and use a lot of power.

Honestly, I could use a timer that pings me for diverse chores in and around the house.

A fixed schedule is easy, but it could react to events and circumstances. Consolidate everything in one app or device:

- (ding!) It's Thursday evening, do the laundry!

- (ding!) Heavy rain is forecast, check the gutters!

- (ding!) Family coming around tomorrow, better clean up!

- (ding!) You did laundry yesterday, now fold and put away!

That sort of thing. Everything in one place.

Hmm, perhaps I should vibe that up myself...?

Using PWM to dim lights should be banned wholesale. Many people, me included, get crazy headaches from the worst lights and mild discomfort from the best ones. It's also completely unnecessary as non-flickering bulbs do exist and are readily available for the same price.

Over here, joggers are frequently wearing headlamps to illuminate their way. Often combined with a light on their back. They can see and can be seen, which is safe.
