This is a bit silly. Slowing down, yes, but blocking? People who *really* want that content will find a way and this will hit everyone else instead that will have to do silly riddles before following every link or run crypto mining for them

Isn't the point that it prepares the response, shows it to you along with some context to you. Like a sidebar showing who the other person is with a short summary of your last comms and your calendar. It should let you move the "p

Anthropic is ridiculously expensive compared to (not at all)OpenAI. I pay $50 a month to a OpenAI while I spent $50 in a day with Anthropic during a coding session. Was Claude better than Chatgpt 4 at certain tasks? Sure, it was also worse

Because it deals with an actual enemy pumping propaganda into your country's citizen's ears. It's a legitimate threat to national security. And no, not just the US does this. (I assume you mean free countries, not dictatorshi

It has became very obvious how reliant we are on Archive.org last time they had an extended outage (remember?, they got hacked,then they couldn't bring the system back up for weeks and weeks). Huge amounts of reference material suddenl

I can confirm, as someone who collects Soviet era electronics and buys replacement parts. Russian manufacturing is really bad now and very far from what it was during the Soviet era. Perhaps in part because of past cooperation between vario

The way I see it they have been like that for at last a decade. Of course before the transformers revolution these were generated in a more crude way, but still the end result is 99% of Google results for any topic have been trash for me si

In general true, but some governments are better than others. For example, would you prefer to live in Xinjang (being Uigur) in China, or let's say in Europe? Also a government of a country can change. Being raised in a communist Polan

In my country (Poland) a bunch of networks recently switched off 3G and a lot of 4G services in favour of LTE only... A pretty good mobile service I enjoyed at my country home for over a decade had suddenly turned to crap... (at least I hav

Personally I think 5g is the way to go. Free more spectrum from the old TV channels (DVB-T is a lot more efficient in terms of spectrum use), this will cover rural use. 10 years ago I would never think I would say that, but I'm happy w

It is a sign that propaganda is getting to you if you find yourself seriously considering their talking points. Is it better if a million people die "in the name of stability" quietly being tortured to death in jails behind closed

As I said before. OpenAI cannot maintain profitability unless they can increase the pricing an order of magnitude. Adding a $200 pro plan is only the first step. Expect they will also have $2k and 20$k per month plans soon and your "no

Note, that someone somewhere made a decision not to hardwire the led to the camera enable line. This to me is far more of a scandal than the fact another person decided to exploit it.

Well, I rely on it a lot, but not in the IDE, I copy/paste my code and prompts between the ide and LLM. By now I have a library of prompts in each project I can tweak that I can just reuse. It makes me 25% up to 50% faster. Does this m

One can make an argument we are conscious at some level when sleeping. We must be. How else would one wake up immediately when one's partner calls ones name, and sleep through cats screeming to be let out during the night :-)

It is still like this.the only time I had x-rays at a dentist in Poland is for a root canal work. However, I did have a dentist recommend a 3d x-ray once.

I'd love to see that actually... Most hair driers are very power hungry. 2kW is not uncommon (at least here where standard voltage is 240V). Achieving substantial amount of drying from a mobile phone battery would be quite a feat of en

It really depends on the people you're dealing with and their motivation. I've been working from home 100% since early 2016. You can make it more efficient in almost everything (I don't do creative work - so I don't know

It's a trap. We can already run almost all Linux apps via other solutions like termux, qpython and others. They want to kill all of it, but they can't just do it without a pr hit. So they just "pretend" to bring in crapp

That is why I've been successfully working from home for almost a decade starting on an LTE connection that was 5Mb up and 10Mb down(notice this is small b as in bits). No problem at all... Why because most of the time latency was good

At least it will be honest then. They should also be forced to disclose how they are stealing all your personal info and data as you're driving around. People would think twice before buying any of these cars. The result? They will not

About AI slurping all information. I bet one of the first ideas organisations that spy on population had when the recent AI boom happened was: How about we just train our AI on all the intercepted data and just ask it? Is John Smith a terro
