In less than half a century, we've created 3 different time standards (TAI, GPS, and now UTC) that tick identically and differ only by arbitrary constant offsets (+37, +18 and +0 seconds). If we haven't come up with an elegant solution by then it's likely 65000 years from now most computing power will be spent running time-conversion libraries.

I wouldn't put AI on the same level as the inventions of the industrial revolution. Automation replaced specific tasks. AI is replacing humans themselves. What are humans supposed to do in a world where everything a human can do, a machine can do too?

Where did you get this number from?

Your psychiatrist looked at you like you were crazy?

So what software could be making these ENUM queries? Any theories?

It's the kind of feature that would rub people the wrong way, whether it's a cop, a friend, or a stranger you want to show a funny video to.

To give a couple of examples, using this would be a bit like locking the glove box in front of traffic cops, or going around the house locking rooms when you have a guest.

The only way to make it socially acceptable would be to make it some sort of default (for example, requiring face id when switching apps, with pin/fingerprint as a backup), which will probably be an option as the lag and failure rate of face id or other owner-detection technologies improve.

For erudites Word is a much better name. We seldom use that verbum.

Deepseek is, with difference, the most "Western" of Chinese models, so it's a bit perplexing that it was chosen to test this hypothesis.

I didn't run any benchmarks but I played around a little, and after getting around the API-level filter Deepseek V4's answers about "China-sensitive content" aren't any different from what I get from Claude and ChatGPT.

Probably a random Roman. People used to walk a lot, often barefoot. The random modern Westerner would get blisters within the first week.

>This problem is solved in China

It isn't. China is the best example that draconian identity verification / KYC processes don't stop scammers.
