Yes but still, talking to someone helps. No matter what they say back. If an LLM is the only thing around at the moment (e.g. in the middle of the night) this can be useful for therapeutic purposes. Therapy isn't only about what the th

I think the OP meant the general public trusting him with our data. Rather than some promises he made to some investors.

I think the keyboards are still way worse than what they were before Butterfly. The 2010-2015 models had more travel and better feel to me.

The Nvidia ones were too. Remember the BGA issues? I remember Apple even sued Nvidia over them. The AMDs were the 2011 BTW. The 2010 were Nvidia 320M and 330

Yeah the new app isn't actually an app. It's just a web service. It's terrible. You have to hand off all your emails to the Microsoft cloud just to use it.

It's really hard to block the auto updates too though. And yeah it should be up to the user.

Yes it can lie. But so do friends. They're not licensed therapists (well at least not most of them). Still it helps talking to them. I'm not saying it should replace the actual therapist. It can just be somebody to discuss things

Absolutely true but I don't think a person should rely on an LLM alone for that reason. It's just not smart and insightful enough. It's more like that really good friend that's not a therapist but always tells you what y

That's why you should self host this kinda stuff. I'd never want big tech to listen in on this anyway.

Not great. But they can help augmented the limited availability of those by simulating a friend to some degree.

All therapists have done extensive therapy. It's part of the training process.

Therapy is a bit different though. It's meant to make you think. Get your mind unstuck from the loop or spiral it's in. Generally you will know what's wrong but your mind keeps dancing around it. There's a lot of eleph

I do use my AI as an augmentation of therapy. It can help in the moment when it's 2am and I'm upset. It can mirror like a therapist does (they don't really tell you what to do, they just make you realise what you already kn

LinkedIn also rewards absolutely sickening PR spamming. All the corporate feelgood PR bullshit that people willingly repost, it makes me sick to my stomach. People must have no spine or self-worth to be reposting all their employer's h

We don't stick chemical waste in the ground anymore, just saying :)

Yeah great idea, letting the fire rage in the ground (it provides its own oxygen) and leeching a lot of chemical waste products into the ground water :)

Well it kinda would have cared a bit but he himself didn't. He could have afforded the most bleeding edge treatments. But he chose to go to witch doctors instead.

If it were really that disruptive we'd see crime rise and police effectiveness reduce drastically. This isn't the case. Society is just as safe as 20 years ago if not safer. I'm sure sometimes this has an effect but most crim

Well 32-bit kernels yes. 32-bit binaries not so much. Besides, it should be possible to patch them. Just append zeroes to every memory operation. Or run them within QEMU or something. This stuff is so old that any performance penalty will b

Is that still his goal though? I used to believe he was a good person actually thinking about the best for humanity (although going to Mars is not the way to do that IMO). But then he turned full nazi so yeah...

Hmm yeah like gamification they put in everywhere these days. I don't really understand the attraction of that. I don't want my watch reminding me I'm halfway through my 'goal' which I only set because there was no

Having confidence isn't necessarily a good thing of course. Neither is 'getting big'. A lot of politics and industry is made up by vacuous people selling hot air these days. Too much confidence, too little respect and knowled

True, I'm not saying that. I'm sure without a big ego you won't succeed as a big businessman. I'm just saying he was a very typical narcissist and as such his ego would have been important to him (which is what the threa

There's always someone worse. That's whataboutism. You don't have to be Hitler to be a bad person. Being a bad parent can damage a child for life. That's pretty bad in my book. I've seen it so much. But in my view i

Yes that's what I don't understand about most of the ultra-rich. They keep wanting more despite having enough to spend millions every day for the rest of their lives. Tesla can't stop throwing tens of billions in bonuses at M

It sounds the same as the European non-corporate events tbh. Pretty good. It doesn't sound super American. More just hacker counterculture. And yes I "worship" people like Doctorow. :)
