This is getting "Not Cute" very quickly. I suspect OpenAI is going to get slapped pretty hard soon for these accidental hacking attempts.

I don't understand. I have access to all of Anthropic's models right now? Also, I don't have access to books that were destroyed in a dumpster.

Why would Ukraine need to cede territory to get military aid they are already getting and _not_ be able join NATO? That would be like trading your back yard to your neighbor in exchange for your front porch not being burned down while the neighbor warms up the flame thrower they used to burn down your shed after you gave them your car to not burn down your shed. You are just giving Russia the time to build up infrastructure and equipment to go at you again.

Getting Ukraine to cede territory is going to be an uphill battle because the last time they did it, our security guarantees meant jack squat. Also Russia is never going to let them join NATO because they fully intend on taking the rest of Ukraine. The only way to keep them out of NATO is to continue the war with them.

So, if Ukraine cedes the territory, they have just legitimized the Russian claim to that territory while getting nothing in return. This is why talks have always fallen through up to this point. Russia wants Ukraine, Ukraine does not want to be Russian. There is no middle ground.

I thought the wallet was stored locally and encrypted using a datakey from the secure enclave? Alongside all the payment tokens and CC numbers.

They should also do this for insurance cards. Not needing 5g signal for that would be great. Geico lets me download mine but it's pretty klunky.

What gets me is the Counselor was like "Why didn't he just build a big bonfire" as if a big fire would be a better idea.

I wish I had thought of this with my Physics textbook. I had to re-bind it once anyways when I left it on the top of my car. I could have just cut it up then.

There are different kinds of NA beer. Some are 100% alcohol free. Some are <0.5% which is sometimes called "Near Beer." Then you have small beers up to 2%.

In the case of near beers you usually get more alcohol from eating bread or other fermented products. Small beers can be a little intoxicating if you drink 4x as much as a normal beer. Usually they are so expensive they are pretty much a treat.

You may want to take into account that they may have already considered these things. Although you and I do not agree with them, there is a long history of this philosophy and that their arguments are sound even if they are not necessarily valid.

In fact, you may agree with some of their points. For instance, if a fetus is destined to live a short and painful life, suffocating in it's own bodily waste products upon birth due to a congenital abnormality, you may agree that it should be aborted.

A lot of these philosophical positions are just an excuse to question some of our deepest held beliefs and reveal our own prejudices and misconceptions. Some people think that giving birth to a child is a gift and the child should be indebted to the parents for the rest of their lives for that gift. Anti-natalism shines a cold light of truth on this misconception.

This is just a localization change. If you set your country to Canada it turns right back. Every country has it's own names for hundreds of geographical features.

Meanwhile, US leaders are planning to bomb oil infrastructure in Iran that exports 90% of their oil in Kharg. Also, free trade with Canada has been sabotaged by people who are actively manipulating the stock market and selling insider trading secrets for $200,000/month through social media.
