I would actually love if I could have iOS prompt me to allow certain apps to use the speakers. I hate using an app and suddenly have a video autoplay loudly.

Selective Availability accuracy restrictions ended decades ago, but GPS technology is still subject to various military and export-control restrictions.

Why an agent? Why not simply filter by unread, select all and mark as read? I recently did this with my email accounts which has many thousands of unread emails.

I do wonder if the way people speak is starting to change because of LLMs. The “it’s not just” thing (I forgot the name for it) is something that used to be a giveaway, but I am now seeing more and more people use it IRL. Perhaps I am just more vigilant towards this specific sentence construction that I notice it more?

The hyphen instead of an em dash suggests a human (though one could simply replace em dashes with hyphens to make the text more “human-like”).

I remember being in 20 years old, at the start of my career, and complete broke. I thought Twitter was just a toy website, until one day I radically changed my mind.

I was a customer of a bank that treated me with nothing but contempt. Whenever I called the bank because of a problem, I would stay on the line forever to eventually talk to an unbothered representative. One day, instead of calling, I complained on twitter and tagged the bank. Half an hour later the bank apologised and fixed my problem.

America could set the standard and then use its soft power (or sanctions if it came to that) to make India and china follow suit. The problem is that America is now hellbent on burning the world, and its soft power is all but gone.

Remind me again when was the last time congress declared war and how many other wars the US was involved in since then.

Visione TV is a mouthpiece of the Russian propaganda machine. The account being frozen was most likely the bank doing its due diligence due to the sanctions on Russia.

You can. This is how it is currently done, but it is not easy. It needs to have a large enough surface area to radiate the heat, and also be protected from the sun (as to not collect extra heat). For a data centre, think of an at least 1000m2 heat exchange panel (likely more to train a frontier model).

A lot of people in positions of power in the AI industry are also buying remote plots of land, building bunkers, stockpiling medicine, guns and gold…

You are missing the part where we built our society on the fact that people need at least some money to exist with the basic level of dignity.

I thought about this a lot, which is why I greatly value doing the occasional electronics project, home renovation or even cooking. There is just something about working with something I can touch.

I wonder if writers feel the same.
