dieortin··on Switzerland to vote on capping population at 10M
A huge majority of foreign residents in Switzerland come from Christian countries, so I don’t know what your point is.
dieortin··on Switzerland to vote on capping population at 10M
They don’t keep the ammo though, so it’s quite funny to call it the “best munitioned country”.

Even if you only considered the guns, your claim seems to be false: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_number_of_civilian_g...

I really doubt that’s what the iPhone does.

That one is about incorrect activations, not about spying on anyone

Even if any of these claims were true (they aren’t) how exactly does that justify the US annexing an EU territory that clearly stated it does not want anything to do with the US?

The post you replied to didn’t say things are not like that. He said things should not be like that.

Is there anything pointing to Brin having anything to do with Google’s turnaround in AI? I hear a lot of people saying this, but no one explaining why they do
dieortin··on GPT-5.2
Isn’t there a difference between having a tab that is similar to a chat, to being a chat app?

Is Google Drive a chat app? Is Google Photos a drive app? I don’t know what you mean

SERP = Search Engine Results Page. I’m pretty sure what you mean is simply “3 results”, and not “3 search engine result pages”

dieortin··on Migrating to Bazel symbolic macros
Bazel uses Starlark, which is pretty much a deterministic subset of Python. Using Python directly would not be a good idea.

Do you have a source on people being able to remove SynthID watermarks?

If you ship debug symbols with your binary, you do get a core dump with an inspectable stacktrace…

This only applies to the visible watermark on the corner, which you could crop anyways. If I’m not mistaken, all images generated by Google models have an invisible watermark: https://deepmind.google/models/synthid/

dieortin··on What if tariffs?
It obviously affects Swiss companies too, because their products become more expensive to American consumers, which makes it more unlikely they will buy them. No one said Americans are the only ones affected. But it’s Americans that pay the tariffs.

I’m sure the people who designed Teams and Meet use their own products on a daily basis. And if those are crap, what’s a better alternative?
dieortin··on Thieves steal crown jewels in 4 minutes from Louvre Museum
Yeah, I’m not saying this robbery was simple at all. Just disagreeing with it being a general rule that things that appear simple are usually hard.

I disagree. Many times things that appear simple are really just simple.

That does not match my experience at all. Basically any Gemini query will run a search.

Sorry but I don’t see how what you mention is a problem. A search engine is just surfacing the content you have in your site. That is very different from it making stuff up.

dieortin··on Thunderbird 140 “Eclipse”
I’m not going to keep all of them locally, but that doesn’t mean I lose access to any of them. I can instantly access all my emails from 20 years ago.

As you mentioned I do access my email from several different devices, and each one having a different subset of my emails would be absolute hell.

I’m curious, do you log onto your computer from your smartphone in order to access your email?

dieortin··on Grok 4 Launch [video]
A pop up message appears from time to time in the Gemini app telling you that if you keep history enabled people and robots might read your messages. Isn’t that explicit enough?

What was so bad about GMail? I’ve worked at some companies that use it and I liked it much more than Outlook.
