Yes, however it's increasingly likely that the GPT in ChatGPT will not be limited to OpenAI (in the US), so I'm not sure how much ChatGPT will be worth with countless other platforms containing GPT in their names. https:/&#x

Right, but it’s not uncommon for a repo to be private with sensitive data that is identified and “removed” (using something like bfg or git-filter-branch) before being made public. Naturally, if it’s a key or something else revocable those

I'm genuinely curious: do you have any examples you'd like to share? Not that React Native is the same as a PWA, but even in that space I have yet to find an RN app (at least those I know about from their Showcase page [1]) that r

I’m not sure they were at all implying that California was exceptional in that regard, to be fair, but at least that urban tunneling involves many costs besides the physical boring. In any case, I wouldn’t use the UK as an example of tunnel

It's definitely unclear, but there's also no evidence from the article that the armed police were not among the officers that "stormed the address," as the article states. They were also visible outside, and it would be

Sorry, that example seemed to occur in a public venue so isn’t the most relevant. This one may be more appropriate: https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/news/11238632.armed-police... At least to a layman not at all versed

This seems like an incredibly broad generalisation. It happens even in the UK where (except for Northern Ireland) most officers are not armed with any firearm. One example of several upon a quick search: https://www.thestar.co.uk

There’s more to it than housing density (see below). For instance, there are also differences in public transport to spread the area of viable housing. Anecdotally, high rent cities such as New York or London tend to not do a great job at p

Respectfully, I’m not sure what you are asking for. In-N-Out is only in a small fraction of the US so most people from the US wouldn’t know much about it either. I believe that’s why the GP comment provided a little more context which was m

Not the parent commenter, but I read their comment perhaps more charitably as describing a general societal attitude rather than their personal beliefs that they would instill on their children. No idea if I’m correct, but it’s maybe worth

At least for me, this was caused by a OS security permission: enabling Full Disk Access for the terminal emulator app in Security & Privacy (System Preferences) fixed it for me and the setting can obviously be reverted afterwards.

I wouldn’t expect better of Google. An app like Google Photos on iOS should (in my opinion) be banned because it requires access to all locally saved photos, breaking if either no access or selective/additive photo access is used.
