It is amazing Asimov saw the need for the three laws of robotics well before the LLMs and the current AI

I have been using duckduckgo for a long time.

I have had bank accounts only with credit unions for the last 20 years. I have never found a need to open an account with one of the big banks. That said, people look at me like I’…

I am in the same boat. I think I will get a lot more of time back if they kill old

Can a robot follow your instructions ? When you come back from your walk, can you shout from outside to have it open the door ? Can you also shout from outside to have it pack up t…

I had been a customer of Amazon for almost 20 years. I had Prime since day one. For me the breaking point was when they increased the fee and then decided to have ads for Prime Vid…

I switched from Apple Watch to a Garmin Venu. The battery lasts for a week, and many of the sensors are more accurate.

As an example, my power is generated by one company and distributed by PG&E. I pay $57 for power generation and $140 or so for distribution. PG&E reported close to [1] $2.5B profit…

I had been an Apple Watch user until it died after I was in a water park. It is supposed to be waterproof, but I guess Apple wants me to refresh after two years. I switched to a Ga…

I wonder what happens to the gut bacteria ? Do they also freeze and get thawed ? If so, are those bacterium also having a special adaptation, or is it a function of the host ?

My experience is very similar. I believe there are two primary reasons for this: 1. People are wealthier, and wealthier people tend to be more independent. 2. Population density is…

Same for me too. I tried different VR headsets, but could not use them for more than 15 minutes without getting dizzy.

I have recently become a fan of bone conducting head phones. These go behind the ears. Sound quality is good for listening to podcasts while walking. No wires. You can still hear t…

Were you able to find out what may have caused you to pass out ? I had a similar incident with no root cause. But that did set me on the path to become more healthy.

Canoo looks like the cars Apple actually would have created.

I canceled in protest. If enough people cancel, that would send a message that people won’t support ads. But I am probably an outlier.

Mine too. I spent over a decade thinking in Perl. While I have moved on, I still miss Perl, and hope it maintained its relevancy.

“The lawsuit filed in 2020 claimed Google misled users into believing that it wouldn't track their internet activities while using incognito mode. The suit argued that Google's adv…

I have had prime for over 10 years. I think this would push me to cancel it. I think I would also think more before buying if I cancel Prime. We have also found Temu a lot better t…

I have felt the same. In the interviews I have listened to, she came across as robotic and fake. I know I am in the minority, but I can’t think of an interview of hers that I enjoy…

Perl was my first programming language. After more than two decades, it is still the language I feel the most efficient in. Glad to see Perl is still alive and kicking !

Personally, I used to spend over an hour a day on Reddit. Now it has reduced to 10 minutes a week. Even when I go there, I see less quality posts at the top than before. So I think…
