If you ever start sending me spam I can just block that address. Especially helpful with companies.
You can also use it for sorting emails.
It's honestly a basic feature of an email client. Even if you don't have your own domain stuff like the plus sign for aliases exists with many providers (or at least with gmail).
1 billion dollars is enough to make a huge and lasting difference to the lifes of lots of people and it is enough to even build sustainable systems that make this aid sustainable and moderately efficient – at least in countries that are not extremely politically unstable and in or constantly at the verge of war. There are many such countries with significant poverty.
Extreme income inequality is an economic problem in itself. Combating it has positive second order effects because it creates demand in the economy. When everyone is extremely poor there is no one to sell to.
Money alone cannot solve all the problems in the world. There are many systemic political issues that hinder economic development in parts of the world.
No billionaire has enough money to fix all the problems in the world.
These two things do not make the ability of ultra rich people to meaningfully and sustainably improve the life on many people any less true or relevant. If you choose to spend a billion dollar on your mansion rather than charity people are gonna have a problem with it and there is absolutely nothing fallacious about that. Claiming this to be a fallacy because the rich cannot fix the whole world however ironically is a fallacy in itself.
There is no excuse for wasting a billion dollars like that. It's evil. No one should make any excuses for that.
Wrap the whole thing in a function and you can instantly test if a number is even from the terminal. Although I guess people use LLMs for that nowadays.
I've set up an ergo^1 server for experimenting. Channel history is currently in draft stage; and maybe it will be forever.
If any of you want to drop by for some reason and want to try it out: #hn on exp3.irc.basilikum.monster:6697
See here for a list of IRCv3 capable clients (draft/chathistory for history support): https://ircv3.net/software/clients
I'm having a hard time understanding what you're looking for. Browser bookmarks seem to fulfill the technical requirements, but you seem to want something different. Maybe a sort of unified feed?
And even if they are not backdoored at first, once the state knocks on the developers door with the great offer that their kid will grow up with a father who is not in jail people's principles might change quickly.
You gave the answer yourself. If the person you are writing with has E2EE enabled for message backups then just exclude that chat from backups on your end or enable E2EE for that chat. That means if you take the restore route without having access to the keys that conversation will not be restored.
You could even let people overwrite that setting. Preventing screenshots or copying has nothing to with this. Apple is claiming that message are end to end encrypted when in reality their defaults are set so that they are not. That is a lie and al they would need to do to change that is to change those defaults.
There might be AI generated things in my every day life that I do not recognize as AI, but that's not what's being discussed.
But for a lot of things I can with high probability discern between AI and human in every day appearance and I know many other people can as well. One of the things I look for is specifically certain types of extreme... not just flaws... just overall atrocity. When I read posts submitted to HN I often realize that something is bad writing before I can specify this to AI text. Pangram almost always agrees with me. Here is a recent example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49715657
I don't doubt that there are certain scoped tasks that certain models are quite good at. But in my every day life I constantly encounter AI slop that is so bad that I take it as a personal insult that someone thought it would be okay to subject me to it; to presume that I am so tasteless and numb and have no quality standard whatsoever.
I mean just look at the example posters at the beginning of the article. "The problem with these is not so much that they’re bad." Yes, yes it is. They are horrible. I cannot understand how anyone can describe them as anything but that.
That is completely different from generating words that are not an expression of your thoughts or at the very best take some concise thoughts from the prompt and stretch them into a lengthy word soup.
Of course there are people who just parrot other people's thoughts without understanding them. That's closer to using an LLM. But you can often see how well someone understands something and how much reasoning of their own they put into it through their writing. And for the writer writing is a very good way to reflect on their own thoughts and to get them into order. Proper writing is thinking.
