The idea is this keeps it in cache so you don’t have to pay to re-input.

I would be very curious to hear him expand on this argument. I can’t imagine it is quite as self serving as it sounds at first, and I would like to hear what he is actually trying to say. I doubt I will agree, but I am very interested.

It's impossible to do with perfect accuracy, but that doesn't mean it isn't done. Just ask the dad who was investigated for taking pictures of his toddler for the doctor: https://www.koffellaw.com/blog/go

The locally running application is one of the 'ends' of the end to end encryption.

I have a 'bootstrap' system... I have recovery codes and a backup for critical things encrypted and stored in a public git repo I push to both gitlab and github. If I lose everything, I can use those recovery codes to access the t

A CLI interface has been perfect for my coding work, why is it bad?

You do that by properly pricing in externalities, not by making everything harder to do so we can't put as much strain on the environment. You are probably right that we need to have less stuff, but if we are going to have less, I woul

The solution isn’t to stuff everything it needs to know into the context, it is to have it write out what it needs to know for every part. It should write out plans, infrastructure decisions, etc, and then use those in future work as needed

Well, the guy who invented the horseshoe died thousands of years ago. And the idea that one location making all the horseshoes means each village is minus one living is ignoring the other effects. Now, all the villagers can get cheaper hors

I am not sure how this would help with piracy? It can only play a stream you already have access to, it doesn’t break encryption or anything.

The magic of computers is that a complicated workaround can become modularized functionality very easiily.

It sounds like this was a bug where slight updates to geolocation data (his address updated its physical location, probably to be more accurate) triggered a "location moved" process. Annoying, but not indicative of a new policy.

I used to experience the quality degrading with large context issue before, but I haven't in months. Is this still the case?

I don't think the answer is as simple as "The Dutch have better traffic light engineers" There are a ton of factors that go into traffic and traffic patterns. For one thing, I would be curious to see total traffic numbers.

How would Google help with a carpooling profile? They are looking at ways they can improve traffic that are actually in their control. They can change how they route traffic that is using their app, they can’t change public policy or drivin

Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/277/ Most cities have some intelligence on their traffic lights, and they do have traffic sensors to know where cars are waiting. You might not see any cars and are annoyed waiting at th

well .0014 is 40% more than 0.001, so it isn't THAT close. Although even if we grant you your assumption about 99.9%, doesn't this show that you can still have a business if that is true? 12 million customers is a sustainable busi

I feel like a lot of the success of an AI project currently still comes down to the skills of the operator. I don't think it is possible to say "AI can't create this because I told AI to create it and it failed" any more

> for 99.9% of everyone else? we're good! Well Starlink has 12 million subscribers, which is already more than 0.1% of the population, so clearly you are incorrect that 99.9% of people don't want it...

I think this is just a sign that AI is now participating in the normal evolution of language over time. Language has always been about imitating... someone or some group comes up with a word/phrase/saying and uses it, other people
