Nice app! Feedback since you asked: The most obvious must-have feature IMO is to paste automatically. Don't require me to hit a shortcut (or at least make it configurable)

The next most critical thing I think is speed and in my tests it's just a little bit slower than other solutions. That matters a lot when it comes to these tools.

The third thing, more of a nice to have is controlling formatting. By this I mean - say a few sentences, then "new line" and the model interprets "new line" as formatting, not as literal text.

> where you have control over your estate via the will, maximally until some time after the death of a specific named person who was alive at the time of your death. (which I find a strange stipulation)

This is a compromise of allowing some of your wishes to be fulfilled after your death while preventing long term 'dead hand' control over property and resources. You can set up a foundation dedicated to "thing" but can't control what that foundation does until the end of time.

We probably don't want to live in a world that is controlled by the wishes of someone gone for 500 years who had a view of the world completely at odds with the present. It centralizes power and ties the hands of those living in the present.

Not automatically but you can switch to a lower power model and access more free requests. I think Gemini 2.5 Flash is 250 requests per day.

True but industrial grade natural diamonds are very inexpensive in comparison to jewelry quality ones.

I've run into something similar twice now in the last month. A candidate pauses or says 'let me think about that' on a relatively simple question as if to give an LLM time to respond. After the pause they give an overly long detailed answer - again like an LLM response.

One candidate was absolutely stumped and could not answer why and when they became interested in technology. They couldn't say anything about themselves personally. It was baffling.

Of course it increases the risk - it's the whole point of the ask.

Manhattan is a better example - there is no fast alternative route between the city and airport, and that's why you see a lot of helicopter transfers. I can see this working in a lot of US cities where public transport is poor and the airport is far away - Seattle, LA, Bay Area etc.

Would you mind clarifying which one you found so helpful? The parent commenter mentioned two books

I keep reading this, but I haven't been able to find much data on intentional vs. accidental consumption with the exception of people who thought they were taking heroin. Do you have any sources on how many deaths can be attributed to laced or misrepresented non-opiates (e.g. marijuana, adderall, mdma)?

Some of them are, some not as much. There are certainly more obvious poetic devices like a "murder of crows" yet there are still many other collective nouns that are more "legitimately" part of English - pack, herd, pod, flock, swarm, and school for example. You don't have to know these terms as using 'group' would be understood - but they are common enough in books / documentaries.

While the numbers for the macro economy may be pretty good - for the tech sector they're terrible.

It's the very beginning of the wave. 30 is quite young and if you know ML now is the time to give it a shot. It is not in any way too late.

Still growing and the main reason worldwide population continues to increase. That said it is projected to slow down over the next several generations like other areas.
