Side note, the restaurant analogy is exactly why I hate the seemingly American style of service where the waiter asks how the food is halfway through.
I guess that’s a good analogy for how creepy surveillance capitalism is, it’s like a waiter judging and recording your every move and reaction throughout the entire meal.
Unfortunately I find even prompts like this insufficient for accuracy, because even when directly you directly ask them for information directly supported by sources, they are still prone to hallucination. The use of super blunt language as a result of the prompt may even further lull you into a false sense of security.
Instead, I always ask the LLM to provide a confidence score appended to all responses. Something like
For all responses, append a confidence score in percentages to denote the accuracy of the information, e.g. (CS: 80%). It is OK to be uncertain, but only if this is due to lack of and/or conflicting sources. It is UNACCEPTABLE to provide responses that are incorrect, or do not convey the uncertainty of the response.
Even then, due to how LLM training works, the LLM is still prone to just hallucinating the CS score. Still, it is a bit better than nothing.
Renaissance Technologies is arguably the world’s best hedge fund, and supposedly only uses AI based strategies.
High Flyer are the founders of DeepSeek, and are also all in on AI, though their performance is more volatile.
Low key this is a great way to convince people to switch away from fossil fuels.
Most people seemingly don’t know that coal/gas stations work by essentially boiling water. Most are horrified at how trashy and underdeveloped the concept is compared to high tech alternatives like solar, wind, or hydro.
Pink, because then you can fold Queen Elizabeth II into a whale giving head
Non-US countries start Christmas literally the day after Halloween.
plocate is much faster and requires less resources. macOS users should use mdfind instead
No, because Zelda has unironically one of the worst examples of button layouts due to them being different to other games for seemingly no reason.
Why is sprint the bottom face button instead of right trigger? Why is the top face button jump?
Even basic things like running and jumping are so difficult and unintuitive. So many actions are all tied to the badly placed jump button with no prompts given, like shield surfing and triggering flurry rushes.
Minisforum, beelink, aoostar and many others all make much more competitive offerings.
No in house NAS OS, but tbh I recommend just taking the plunge to learn how to install your own OS, like Linux.
Scientists too busy writing grant proposals to realise that the developers of RStudio have made Positron, which is VS Code based and generally better
I hate tech companies and the general public’s collective amnesia of functioning digital assistants, so I’m co-opting this as a copypasta.
Google Assistant was great on Android before they dumbed it down for Gemini and then killed it. It gave you daily summaries in the morning and was able to do basic assistant stuff like reminders and simple queries pretty well. Then Gemini came and it became just a shitty web search.
Not an unfounded concern if you remember the PS3. The original model was sold at a loss, and also able to run Linux.
People were buying them like crazy for non gaming uses, including building super computer clusters. An entire aftermarket of various small vendors essentially flipping PS3s with various Linux distros flourished, including offering the usual suite of tech support services that Sony didn’t. There was even a black market for the gutted bluray drives, which were expensive, but useless in clusters.

The Cider Devs also seem like terrible people FYI
I know everyone likes Cider. But the devs are extremely homophobic, racist, Trump apologists, and deny that Covid was ever that major. Link in post. : r/AppleMusic - https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleMusic/comments/vydyj8/i_know_everyone_likes_cider_but_the_devs_are/
“Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter” - conservatives, probably actually, in the future 2017

Because all in one distros have mistakes or bugs, for which fixes are only available in the next release 6-12 months later.
Other times, I know exactly what the problem is and how to fix it, but due to the vendors shenanigans (Ubuntu) it’s ironically much harder to fix. Adding extra repos via ppas and managing them is harder than just pulling it from AUR.
Having problems due to a vendor’s mistake and being unable to fix them was exactly why I wanted to move away from Windows and macOS. All in one distros kind of fail at addressing that. Arch is basically “fuck it, I’ll compile it myself”
Japanese: コンピューター (Kon pyuu taa) 🗿
Obviously you should try to consider all options, but the amount that this is happening is way exaggerated.
Europe in particularly is diverting a lot of funding away from public sector to defense spending due to geopolitical anxieties.
International organisations aren’t safe either, because they rely on funding from the developed countries who are all cutting funding, i.e. US, Europe, etc.
And in true macOS fashion it only works if you stay within the Apple ecosystem.
Applications and sleep are intimately tied to native macOS workspaces, which are themselves cursed af.
If you use an alternative manager, like Aerospace (which reimplemented workspace/tiling), then applications cannot sleep properly, leading to severe battery drain.
