I don't have numbers, but huge parts of Montevideo must be relying on wood burning for heating. The effect is very noticeable in the air quality in winter (I've lived there for three years recently).

I had a similar experience; went to an African country for a while, eSIM stops working, support has no idea and suggested downloading it again, which requires 2FA with the number tied to the eSIM, was told to come to one of their stores (wh

Bender also recently said in some podcast that there's basically no useful case for LLMs. I think she's a good candidate for some soundbite to add to "a global market of maybe five computers", "nobody needs more tha

It's great that he's able to build such a useful resource despite the lack of seniority then. I guess some elders who try to protect themselves from the winning enthusiasm of youth can be found in many environments.

I was super surprised when my mom, who believes anything anyone tells her, said that her new doctor works with an evidenced based approach. After some probing I realized what they mean with that now is "we'll use anything we think
