Other than the novelty of being able to press buttons with your feet, why is this useful? If you lack special buttons, you could also just buy a bigger keyboard (or a MIDI controller that sits on the table).

I am sure some variant of the infinite monkey theorem applies. Anthropic devs have unlimited access to Claude, so they are no doubt lazy when it comes to prompt writing and just brute-force the agent to do what they want.

I don't think these numbers are correct, but desktop Linux is no doubt having its year now. So many big YouTube content creators are covering Linux content and switching to Linux specifically, since the major obstacle to switching (gam

They don't act the way humans would. It's normal to start a sentence after the other person in the conversation pauses, especially if you're eager to say something (like the chat agent is), but a real human is socially aware

I don't think you can conclude much from a sample size of 1. My country at least (and probably yours too) is producing more organic products than ever before. People are also consuming organic products more than before.

NemID, the previous national 2-factor solution, used a small card with rows of pre-printed single-use codes. When you logged in to a bank or a public sector website, it would ask for a random code at a specific row and column number. Once t

Maybe the momentum of Stoxx600 will last the next 4 years? Or maybe the S&P500 will come crashing down soon? Who knows. The Shiller PE ratio is insanely high. At least the European market isn't completely overinvested in just 7 com

I am talking about the purpose of the law and the way it is written. It's not hard to create a law that only targets the bigger services, just make it apply to entities with a daily user count above N. A law isn't a headline on Ha

Why do you think it's going to be arbitrary? The law will obviously be framed in such a way as to hit the targets it is supposed to hit, avoid collateral damage. It's not like complete amateurs are writing our laws.

Maybe you can argue why it's not most countries? It seems obvious to me that it is, but I also come from a country where everyone is bilingual. Many former European colonies are mostly bilingual, e.g. Africa is highly multilingual out
