    Why would apple care? Eu is what a quarter of their business? And where exactly will those people move? They're locked into the Apple infra.

    And when you are done, what will happen with all that code you wrote?

    So you are saying we need to conduct trials on a representative set of bayesnets of say.. 200k and then it'll be conclusive?

    does it ease the strain on the eyes? I believe that's individual and hard to measure. If it helps OP then I see no issue with it being useless for sleep. I tried using f.lux a deca…

    I didn't expect to read "Datacenters in space" on HN.

    Can you estimate how much it'd cost to make? Having ^F'ed "Load-bearing" I determined it must have been Claude

    No you just chose to ignore other cases that OP mentioned and focused on this one

    That's not my point. Rather that any self-hosted solution would. Encryption is completely optional and can be illegal in some places. As long as you trust the endpoint you only car…

    Encryption in this case is irrelevant. If they get the encrypted backup they can already charge you if you don't decrypt it. Self-hosting is the way obviously

    What's the difference between this and wiping when under duress using the special PIN? If you aren't being checked you don't wipe and are gopd to go.

    What am I misinterpreting? OP literally said they don't understand why a journalist would carry these data with them. As if the data is a file on your phone. Data can be a contact …

    So delete messengers, email apps and other comms? Delete the contact book? Clear calendars? Where exactly should one stop?

    My thoughts exactly, but to train it you'd need a lot of data with someone manually operating it. With just two hands it's enough to have a lot of footage of humans doing it. Maybe…

    Yeah I don't understand why people jumped on this. Thread-OP was saying pretty obvious if not trivial things. Without knowing how much they spend knowing how much they earn is a us…

    Sure, but this is only as useful as useless it is. Meaning the moment this gets wide adoption AI will have 0 issues dealing with it. LLMs are very good at translating one language …

    I disagree with your definition of what 'growing up' is about. There is something lost in the world where making silly but fun things is frowned upon. And yes, fun is subjective. I…

    If people cared much more about how they spend their own time (and money) and less about how others spend their's world would've been a much better place. But it ain't

    What's wrong with this? They have resources and desire to make their work fun. What happened to wanting to enjoy what you're doing?

    Wanna know what the guy is up to now? Sure enough, he is a founder of an "AI That Knows Why" company.
