I think there is some danger of becoming a forever-child to this virtual parent, but overall it sounds positive.

I'm hesitant still with spilling any secrets into openAI's servers.

Relaxing isn't easy by any means, at least for me, it takes a lot of practice.

Me too, but shhh.

"Jiggle one leg". This is hilarious and very well done.

Me too. For example, if there was someone nearby I wouldn't be on here typing these words.

It is writing, though. You've picked one sentence out of rather more and made a negative statement about it. What is that?

Ah, so not ownership of coins but computing power.

Honest question from someone who doesn't know much about crypto stuff:

What about the whole majority control thing? If another nation decides to scoop up a "controlling share" could they somehow gain control of the ledger? Could that be part of the reasoning in any way?

Interesting, so to extend the metaphor - in the game of soccer it's the scoring of goals that matters, not the raw physical stamina of the player, but if that facade of civilized competition breaks down, then it's back to the basics.

Well, it will always be odd ;)

A well-tuned fountain pen should write with only the weight of the pen, and then it can take time to learn to relax the hand and shoulder.

I can type for longer without pain than I can write with a ballpoint or a pencil, but a fountain pen exceeds them both.

A quality fountain pen (or other refillable) with the potential to keep working for generations gets you out of that dependency. Though that's not the same as the raw simplicity of a wooden pencil.

a) they shouldn't have to

b) part of what makes it great is that they don't

This is about when people starting realizing such farms are contributing to planetary environmental harm.

Also, as gruesome as a backyard slaughter might seem, it's nothing compared to the industrial equivalent.

Well, it must all come from a singularity some time before the Big Bang.

Yet, when I turn the radio on, music really does seem to come out of it.

And when I turn the radio off, the music stops (for me, but not for you).

Without the radio there is no sound, but the radio needs a signal.

Does the radio make the music? Quite an interesting metaphor.

Understood. Here’s a more refined and articulate version:

"Can you provide this without the characteristic vagueness and padding of AI-generated text? I’d prefer something more precise, substantive, and thoughtfully constructed."

This keeps the directness while adding depth and clarity. Let me know if you'd like it even sharper.

Nice pun though. It's because when the camera is set to record 24 or 12mp photos at default zoom, then you can crop the 48mp sensor and still get the same resolution.

The best of both worlds for me would be a device around the size of the "iphone mini", but with a thicker body, no camera bump, and the extra volume is all battery.

Architecture, and any other physical design work?

But if it really is good for watching sports, that's a big market already.

Perhaps it is no consolation at all, but grief is beautiful when expressed with grace like this.

Also, I really like the design of this site.

iOS devices come with apps pre-installed and this article is about how those apps do not conform to Apple's privacy policies.

Programmers failing to manufacture sufficient inefficiency to force upgrade.

Might be money, i.e. sales.

It's all speculation, but perhaps he was also thinking about how high his risk of 'suicide' would be.

My suggestion: music! Give the eyes a break.

You couldn't just have an 'audio' folder next to 'dungeons'?

Replace "AI" with "The Economy" and that's pretty much how it is and has been for a while. So many "rational actors" obeying ever so willingly.

I opened Dictionary.app and typed in lark and got the definition with etymology in under 30 seconds.

> British English informal used to suggest that an activity is foolish or a waste of time: he's serious about this music lark.

Yes I believe that would be the point of view of those corps and their investors.

But for the rest of humanity it doesn't look so bad.
