And in true macOS fashion it only works if you stay within the Apple ecosystem.

Applications and sleep are intimately tied to native macOS workspaces, which are themselves cursed af.

If you use an alternative manager, like Aerospace (which reimplemented workspace/tiling), then applications cannot sleep properly, leading to severe battery drain.

Japanese conservative monarchists are wild.

Look up the Google Maps reviews of the imperial palace. For some context, the majority of the imperial palace is completely off limits to the general public (in stark contrast to most developed countries), and the royal family does a new years greeting.

The reviews are monarchists unironically saying things like that they travelled for days, lined up for hours, caught a glimpse of one of the royal family, were temporarily transported to heaven, and will dedicate their lives hoping for the forever prosperity of the royal family.

Except that the Nordic model has been replicated across all the Nordic countries, of which only Norway has vast natural resources.

And even then, Norway, under the policies of the Nordic model, was already quite rich before it discovered oil.

Unfortunately I find even prompts like this insufficient for accuracy, because even when directly you directly ask them for information directly supported by sources, they are still prone to hallucination. The use of super blunt language as a result of the prompt may even further lull you into a false sense of security.

Instead, I always ask the LLM to provide a confidence score appended to all responses. Something like

For all responses, append a confidence score in percentages to denote the accuracy of the information, e.g. (CS: 80%). It is OK to be uncertain, but only if this is due to lack of and/or conflicting sources. It is UNACCEPTABLE to provide responses that are incorrect, or do not convey the uncertainty of the response.

Even then, due to how LLM training works, the LLM is still prone to just hallucinating the CS score. Still, it is a bit better than nothing.

Renaissance Technologies is arguably the world’s best hedge fund, and supposedly only uses AI based strategies.

High Flyer are the founders of DeepSeek, and are also all in on AI, though their performance is more volatile.

Funny meme aside, it wouldn’t actually work because cremation is way too hot to pop corn. At around 1000 Celsius, the corn would instantly carbonise and turn to ash, just like the rest your body.

Even baking corn at 200 Celsius (typical oven roasting temperature) is already too hot for corn to pop, and burns it instead.

Minisforum, beelink, aoostar and many others all make much more competitive offerings.

No in house NAS OS, but tbh I recommend just taking the plunge to learn how to install your own OS, like Linux.

Australia displays price per 100 sheets.

Scientists too busy writing grant proposals to realise that the developers of RStudio have made Positron, which is VS Code based and generally better

I hate tech companies and the general public’s collective amnesia of functioning digital assistants, so I’m co-opting this as a copypasta.

Google Assistant was great on Android before they dumbed it down for Gemini and then killed it. It gave you daily summaries in the morning and was able to do basic assistant stuff like reminders and simple queries pretty well. Then Gemini came and it became just a shitty web search.

Not an unfounded concern if you remember the PS3. The original model was sold at a loss, and also able to run Linux.

People were buying them like crazy for non gaming uses, including building super computer clusters. An entire aftermarket of various small vendors essentially flipping PS3s with various Linux distros flourished, including offering the usual suite of tech support services that Sony didn’t. There was even a black market for the gutted bluray drives, which were expensive, but useless in clusters.

The Cider Devs also seem like terrible people FYI

I know everyone likes Cider. But the devs are extremely homophobic, racist, Trump apologists, and deny that Covid was ever that major. Link in post. : r/AppleMusic - https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleMusic/comments/vydyj8/i_know_everyone_likes_cider_but_the_devs_are/

Because all in one distros have mistakes or bugs, for which fixes are only available in the next release 6-12 months later.

Other times, I know exactly what the problem is and how to fix it, but due to the vendors shenanigans (Ubuntu) it’s ironically much harder to fix. Adding extra repos via ppas and managing them is harder than just pulling it from AUR.

Having problems due to a vendor’s mistake and being unable to fix them was exactly why I wanted to move away from Windows and macOS. All in one distros kind of fail at addressing that. Arch is basically “fuck it, I’ll compile it myself”

Israeli (derogatory)

Obviously you should try to consider all options, but the amount that this is happening is way exaggerated.

Europe in particularly is diverting a lot of funding away from public sector to defense spending due to geopolitical anxieties.

International organisations aren’t safe either, because they rely on funding from the developed countries who are all cutting funding, i.e. US, Europe, etc.

Denatonoum Benzoate.

Intensely bitter compound used to prevent people from putting them into their mouths. Examples include nail polishes (to help nail biting habits), button cell batteries, and even Nintendo switch cartridges.

Actually, the term 3rd world is outdated and referred to countries that couldn’t decide whether to align themselves with the US or Russia - oh wait
