“Elon believes he should be emperor of the world, and this is his way of showing people what he’s capable of as emperor,” — a close associate of Musk’s

What does that mean? Are you suggesting that active government work is often done quietly, while inactivity can lead to more public discussion to give the appearance of action?

For most conversations I get: "I'm just a language model, so I can't help you with that.", "As a language model, I'm not able to assist you with that.", " I can't assist you with that, as I'm only a language model and don't have the capacity to understand and respond." — whereas ChatGPT gives very helpful replies...

They also mentioned for "more casual usage" the Find My features via satellite connection.

How did you do that?

Can you share the links to those newsletters? Sounds interesting, thanks!

Weird that other Facebook owned projects are down too such as oculus.com and internet.org. You'd think they'd put stuff on separate servers and infrastructure...

The subject of insomnia is very interesting to me. I don't even know if I'm medically an insomniac, I just know I've had sleep problems since I was about 19 years old.

Sometimes my friends say I'm forgetful, but I usually put it down to being trolled because I am sure the event or whatever didn't happen. But I do wonder if I have a random "Alzheimer moment".

It would be interesting to know if my sleeping problems were connected to my potential forgetfulness.

A quick search on YouTube reveals some (somewhat old) videos on the topic of fatal familial insomnia https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=fatal+familial+...

I thought this one was particularly good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Co94aQDs3ek

I find this an interesting point to bring up. My family were also on income support when I was younger, and I also applied for the Youth Opportunity Funding grant in the UK and was awarded £1,250.

Similar to drsim I intended to start my own media business using the money, so I purchased a cheap PC, a camera, business cards, etc

In order to apply for the money I had to go through what was quite a lengthy process, which overall took three months to complete. I had to choose every item in advance with photocopies of the catalogue; this was to prevent people cheating the funding and spending it on other things. This also made it difficult to include consumables such as an internet subscription and transportation costs.

Does YC plan to background check and make sure the $12,000 would actually be spent on what it's intended for?

Also, does YC still consider applicants based in Asia, or is it US-based for the time being?

Google have also quietly launched a global sourcing search engine, which covers most of the core features of Alibaba's main site: https://www.google.com/shopping/suppliers/

Nokia sold to Microsoft for ~$1.5 billion less than what Skype was sold for

Very nice update! Pity they didn't add any Chinese social network icons this time (Weibo, Renren, Tencent, QQ) Has anybody seen any of these icons as a web font?

Its pretty good for a government website, but the more I dig around the more I find a lack of attention to detail. For example, switch the theme to creme and many elements break: http://www.adamwintledesign.com/screenshots/Manchester_City_...
