I know how to disable it. I should not have to. The setting is (intentionally) confusing too: "download and keep" implies that photos always have to transit via iCloud first, and t…

Not that it's any excuse, but Apple does something similar by saving your photos to iCloud and deleting them from your local storage without telling you. I have seen the following …

We’re already past that point, Win 11 cannot be installed without an MS account (at least not without some cmdline trickery)

I have never read an ending that was as sad, happy, clever and beautiful as the ending to Rise of Endymion . To this day it's one of the very few books that made me shed a tear. No…

Oh goddamn. We keep Messenger around in my family because one family member does not use smartphones (and Whatsapp requires one to use the web interface). This is obviously an atte…

Same here. Until recently I would get maybe 1-2 spams a month, and I just got 30 in the span of a few days. They’re the very obvious, very obnoxious kind of spam, and Gmail still c…

Sure, but what confidence do you have that what the "dumb" LLM says is worth any salt ? It's no different than aggregating the results of a Reddit search, or perhaps even worse bec…

Evangelists keep insisting that healthcare is one of the things that AI will revolutionize in the coming years, but I just don't get it. To me it's not even clear what they mean by…

But the thing with debt is that it has to be paid eventually.

> they don't feel intelligence but rather an attempt at mimicking it Because that's exactly what they are. An LLM is just a big optimization function with the objective "return the…

I should get one of those Ruuvi Tag...I use a similar cheap Xiaomi sensor currently but the battery doesn't last anywhere as long (probably because it has an LCD screen and isn't m…

The backup phone is a good idea, I do this too but unfortunately some banking apps refuse to allow more than one "authorized device" for 2FA :/

* A USB KVM that lets me share my keyboard/mouse/webcam between my two computers (work and personal), and switch at the press of a button. * One of those IKEA wall-mounted grate th…

One thing I love about my Thinkpad is the dedicated middle-click button above the trackpad. Such a simple feature, but so much more reliable and convenient than two-fingers tap, th…

Oh I didn't know this one. For me the mnemonic was " 'ba' has an 'a' like 'gauche' (left), and 'tri' has an 'i' like 'droite' (right)".

...in the US. I tried to buy an ebook of the Stormlight Archive from Australia and was sad to discover that DRM-free versions were not available.

Cons of orbital data centers: - Ludicrously expensive to setup - Need radiation-hardened silicon - Ludicrously expensive maintenance requiring highly specialized operators (a.k.a a…

For someone who is "increasingly bothered by the lack of rigor in the current discourse", the author sure has no qualms about using LLM outputs as primary sources. This is an immed…
