    Even then, what would that accomplish in most systems? That same disk would most likely be the only permanent storage available to the system when it's inserted. Maybe if you've go…

    If it gets outdated they can review their policy. Right now it is sensible. We're at early ages of this type of AI and we don't know what the end game will be. Someone forking it a…

    Google is an advertisement company at the end of the day and that's a conflict of interest with user privacy.

    I thought Ubuntu did that, but not Debian. Still, that's very different than what the author mentioned

    I don't know if I want to create an ad-hoc list of permissions. What I would like would be something like take a snapshot of my current workspace in a VM. Run claude there and let …

    In the UK we move forward at 1am and they go backward at 2am. Doing it at midnight adds the extra complexity that now the day is different. Doing it in the early morning doesn't ch…

    It's hard to pin point what creativity is. But in your example, the more creative thing was really coming up with the scenario of pigeons selling balconies as real state. What foll…

    I rather commute than WFH. So yeah, people do. Maybe not all the people, but certainly some people.

    They can't because they aren't, right? That's the whole point of having them not expiring. Until you used them, you can still get your money back in some situations.

    Thinking about it a little more, those high-octane funny kids sound insufferable. This may actually just be Celine's way of telling the author she finds her annoying.

    I don't want more time having meaningful conversations with human bosses. I just want to have a normal interview.

    Maybe it's a cultural thing as well. Boasting about yourself is really not something you do in many cultures. I don't really see a problem with that passage. They were just trying …

    How is this not clearly a question? "In triangle △ABC, AB = 86, and AC = 97. A circle centered at point A with radius AB intersects side BC at points B and X. Moreover, BX and CX h…

    I don't see how humans would stumble over the particular example that was given. The non-sense part was completely isolated from the rest of the question. In fact, it's so detached…

    I thought he'd transmit a PNG over a modem, get a bird to memorise that and play it back. I think with the right format it should be possible to do that. With enough birds I imagin…

    I think it's more that people don't want others to see a pornhub icon when they are slowing holiday photos to friends and family. But they don't mind showing a Domino's app
