   What about "rendezvous", or "etiquette", or "RSVP", cliche, nuance, etc? Do you consider those French or English? As you say, the line is very very blurry.

   Depending on what you consider an "English" word, anywhere from 0% to 100% of words are English words. I've definitely seen accoutrement and ziggurat in English, and quite often.

   I got 98 words right and it estimated I know 82k words. That's less than half the quoted 170k number, so what would it have estimated at 99 or at 100?

   I don't know what people expect. If you ask a random person to recall anyone they've ever known, you're going to get a lot of "don't they have a blog called <random word> software? And maybe they're into

   A direct counter test would be the model being asked to talk about facts and refusing, not refusing to argue against facts.

   Thanks. I wish people could just say the company name instead of using random aliases, but I guess it's some sort of cultural thing.

    But in that case you're just using sessions, and the JWT is a microoptimization to avoid hitting the DB every request.

    If I need a database query to validate the token, it's not stateless.

    I've had my own domain for email for twenty years or so now, and I've encountered maybe one signup form that didn't accept it. What you're saying is definitely not true, and I would highly recommend using your own domain

    I just use my ChatGPT subscription with it. Not sure what you mean about security.

    OpenCode and Pi do those things as well, and without a whole annoying IDE bundled in.

    I'm like this with calls. I'll correspond with you on email all day long if you want, but if I'm asked to have a random chat call with a stranger, I get really averse to it.

    I've always gotten timely replies too from dang, not sure why your experience is so different. Maybe an unlucky spam filter?

    Congratulations! You have proven you are human by complaining about the test instead of solving it. Redirecting you now...

    I work for a UK company and most people take basically all of August off (I end up with two months of vacation days a year so I take August off and sprinkle some leave around the year) and I can confirm that taking a month off is great. You

    At some point you have to allow people to see what they want to see. You don't have to make it so that what they want to see is pushed on them, though, and this is what modern social media does. It pushes stuff just because it's

    A better measure would be to mandate that social media platforms can only show you content from people you follow, and in chronological order.

    No, this is a false dichotomy. It's not either "open to anyone" or "secure from anyone". There are various ways to ensure that only the owner can unlock the software, eg requiring a waiting period before unlocking.

    I found "by lunch" odd too, but considering that Claude wrote the article, it's not going to know specifics.

    This isn't so much of a blog post, though. For this format, I like keeping a notes site (mine is at https://notes.stavros.io/ ), where I publish small tips and things I want to remember, and figure someone else might ne

    The new email isn't email at all, it's something like Matrix, or Signal (if you don't mind the centralization). Excellent encryption with great UX.
