> What is an "illegal protest"?

A protest that the sitting president doesn't agree with.

Why?

Wonder how long before this gets flagged ...

Title of post: "Mindset"

Interesting. When I fed Le Chat a modified version of the prompt in that blog post, and asked for more detail, Le Chat returned a lot of information about the system prompt -- about 18 paragraphs worth.

If this isn't (yet another) reason to leave or avoid X, I don't know what is.

Wondering if he's looking for some to decorate the bathrooms at Mar-a-Lago ...

What's the context of the research work? Who's it being done for and why? Why should someone share that information with you, especially in a public forum?

If Villeneuve pulls this off, then great. If not, he tried. And guess what? The world will keep on spinning.

This comment gives me distinct "Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life" vibes ...

Do Trump and cabal really care about niceties like international conventions and the rule of law?

But will they do anything to try to stop it? Probably not. They'll continue to toe the (Republican) party line, without exception.

Of course we should, if only to line his and Nvidia's pockets even more.

I'd forgotten that Digital River existed. Hadn't bought anything from a vendor who used them since the late 90s/early 2000s.

Funny how ideas like "competition" and "the free market" are great until that competition comes from elsewhere and someone else comes into the market and spooks the incumbents.

Perhaps because they really, really, really want to track you?

> Clippy, on the other hand, is very charismatic.

Really? Clippy has a face that I want to slap. With a brick.

Thanks for the reply. As far as how much I could pay, that would be between $8 and $12 a month. Sadly, the mortgage comes before subscriptions :-(

Interesting, but at $29/month a bit out of my price range.

How is this materially different from the Social Credit System implemented by the Chinese government?

Well, it isn't. Not ever close. Watch and you'll see why.

Do you expect interviewers (in the US or elsewhere) to only lob you easy questions? I've interviewed for tech jobs in a few places over the years -- Canada, the US, France, and the UK -- and each time I was asked more than one difficult question. I didn't once get the impression that the interviewers were testing my IQ.

I don't draw, whether with analog or digital tools. OK, I sometimes do but in a paper notebook. But that's very rare and what I draw is usually crude, ugly, and simple, and transitory.

It is, but I've used that with macOS ChromeOS too.

1. A text editor, mated with some templates for the various types of notes I take. It's simple and fits my needs.

2. Regularly.

3. I don't have anything you can describe as a setup. I use those text files, a calendar, and that's about it.

4. I have a weekly task file. For the next day, I add what I need to do the night before.

5. About 20% (?).

At first glance (no pun intended!), the name of that app seems a bit unsavoury ...

Why should anyone feel guilty about asking hard/difficult questions? It's not always about what you know but about your ability to stop and think, or in some cases to admit you can't answer the question. The last one isn't a sign of weakness but it is a sign of self awareness and the recognition that your knowledge and experience has limits.

Is this even legal (not that Trump and co. care about legality)? Could be more than a few wrongful dismissal lawsuits on the horizon ...
