I don't think that's true anywhere in Asia, except for maybe the Middle East.

> Because it works by generating probable answers, it can only generate probable names.

That's not true anymore. I've asked it to generate names for some LLCs and it came up with plenty of novel names that sounded vaguely Latin and had a certain sound that I had asked for.

Very cool and I'm excited to see commercial domestic helper robots that run locally without a subscription.

But any sane configuration would have the MPTCP port blocked behind a firewall (unless you were intentionally using MPTCP).

Are you suggesting that both keys should be required for decryption?

How would you restore the backup if your secure hardware device is lost/stolen/damaged?

Are you suggesting the abliterated models are more likely to delete data against the user's wishes than the original models?

So the models are actually more aligned with the end users and less aligned with government regulators. Arguably a good thing.

> Most people do repairs all the time but that doesn’t mean it has to be ib their garage with their own tools and bare hands.

Unless you live in India or a similarly developing country, this hasn't been true for many decades.

The local cost of labor is simply too high to make it economical to repair even simple things, let alone complex electronics.

> The race to make laptops thinner is pointless.

Perhaps for you, but I very much care about my laptop's size and especially it's weight, as I carry it around on a daily basis.

Repairing or upgrading it aren't really of interest to me, as I wouldn't be able to aquire the parts where I typically live anyway. And performance and cooling have already been more than good enough for me in most laptops for the last decade.

I don't see how EU regulators would allow payment privacy in any meaningful way.

It will be choked out at key junctions with KYC in the same way crypto has.

Maybe it's a regional issue. I have over 150 stays in my account (digital nomad for the last 10 years), and I've not once had any unreasonable charge or conflict with a host.

There shouldn't be a law dictating how old one must be to smoke weed. That's a parenting decision.

Yes, it is. I don't want to live in a country where everything is illegal but not enforced (until someone in power dislikes you).

> Your service provider knows what they're doing.

You can't be serious. I honestly can't tell if your whole reply is a parody.

The security practices of most large service providers are terrible. That's why large data leaks and security breaches by the world's largest businesses are a daily event.

I've lived in various Asian countries for the last 10 years, but I've never seen Wechat used except for communication and payments with people from mainland China.

Same with Gojek. They tried launching in other countries, but it never caught on outside of Indonesia, where yes it's huge and awesome.

Grab, on the other hand, has been very successful internationally.

How well do Google Maps and WhatsApp work on the latest versions of HarmonyOS?

I assume it requires some mind of Android compatibility layer that won't pass Play Integrity checks..

When I really need to run an app on my Linux laptop, it always gets its own bubblewrap container.

Aren't most people directly benefiting from AI?

In the US, there's currently about 300x more land used by cornfields than by data centers.

Does that seems unreasonable? We already grow more than enough food in this country and surely we're not getting 300x more value from the corn.

Which societal problems require changing the laws of physics to fix?

Presumably they will use approximations like factor analysis that are already commonly used in data science.

For casual dating, I would say yes, and not just white liberal women.

As a man who happens to meet those criteria, and has participated in a few hundred hookups over the last 10 years, I'd say a significant portion of the women either directly or indirectly try to discern answers to those questions before meeting or agreeing to casual sex.

I think the main cause of this asymmetry in modern dating is the disappearance of social shaming for casual sex.

When casual sex is a possibility, many high value men will see it as a desirable option to commited relationships. And since for most men, their standards are very low for casual partners, they're willing to date far below their "level".

That puts women in difficult position because the most desirable partners are far more likely to be looking for only casual sex. But even if women adopt strict strategies to filter out the desirable men who won't commit, the men will naturally adopt deceptive strategies to evade detection as a "fuck boy".

When potential partners largely came from your real social network, the social cost was high for men for "using women for sex" and for women "being easy", so that prevented this problem to some degree.

Now that partners largely come from outside our social networks, there doesn't seem to be any good way to reproduce the social shaming for deceptive non-commitment.

> Not sure we are anywhere close to all the cognitive capabilities of the human brain...

In which capabilities are AI not already close to or beyond that of a human brain?

I suppose the next (and more risky) step is to let AI conduct its own real-world experiments, so that it can generate data to learn more physical and social properties.

> I still have to correct Claude on very basic misconceptions whenever I get it to code shit.

Can you give a simple example?

I would have agreed 2 years ago, but it's extremely rare I see a frontier model making a silly mistake these days.

I'm all for breaking up Google, but how do you see Chrome making money without ads?

If they charged users directly, everyone would just switch back to Firefox.

> On goes Firefox, uBlock Origin, and a couple other extensions. They don't care what browser they use.

I did the same with my mom, but then her broker and doctor's websites started complaining that they will only run on a supported browser, i.e., Chrome.

I've gotten her to still use Firefox for most other things, but it's not easy.

The life of most of the people who steal catalytic converters is not worth much.

> Claude code is a decent harness but then you have to use Anthropic models

Why do you say that? I've used Claude Code with DeepSeek via OpenRouter just fine.
