    I was using it on Cowork yesterday, so I would imagine so. It arrived before I updated but the message says it will work better after updating the app.

    You see this type of thing daily in Brooklyn NY still, but instead of techno it's any genre, primarily hip hop, reggaeton, or afrobeats.

    I was on Pixels since the first generation, and only I recently switched from the Pixel 8 Pro to the OnePlus 15, so I was very late to the game here and missed the peak OnePlus day…

    I was already annoyed at the amount of headlines shoehorning the word "quietly" into a story to imply some kind of malicious secrecy (and therefore drive clicks), but it seems to h…

    > I wouldn't call Krugman nasty names > If you look at his track record, it's hard to explain without resorting to accusations of a humiliation fetish. It may not have been a nasty…

    When I lived in India everyone would always tell me how everyone drives so much safer there because they're more aware etc (similar reasoning as we're seeing in this thread), but m…

    Yeah, the more data that comes out on the "AI employment disruption" the more it becomes apparent that AI is just an investor-friendly excuse to do the layoffs they were going to d…

    I'm not sure if it's more frustrating or just laughably absurd how often I have experiences like this. Like where an LLM chatbot (mostly Gemini) or other AI tool gives me sample pr…

    I might be an outlier here in caring about this product but I really want Proton Docs to get optimized better, it takes way too long to load. Google docs may not be private but it …

    To your point about automation, I'm increasingly wondering whether the "post-labor economy" would be anywhere near as idealistic as it's typically presented. If people aren't worki…

    > "influence is a euphemism for manipulate" Strongly disagree with this sentiment. Influence can have a lot of sources, from institutional authority to simply being persuasive, whi…

    Is this before or after you account for the initial training impact? Because that would need to be factored in for a good faith calculation here, much as the companies would rather…

    That was my initial opinion, but more recently it's been established that there's quite a bit of a cat and mouse game here – people have come up with elaborate workarounds to avoid…

    Some might say you're a purist in that regard Side note, would positing an argument online without doing an AI fact check first be considered rawdogging your answer? It seems fitti…

    Fascinating how much this varies by culture too. People generally have attitudes similar to you in Nordic countries, or even Seattle, but then you go to South American countries, o…

    It already bugs me when ChatGPT describes how it is going to answer before answering, but it's 10x more annoying when I'm asking for a concise response without filler etc. As an as…
