Why is it "AI" though.
Seems it's using LLMs (GPT4 in this case) to transcribe and summarise documents and draft notes, emails, etc.

#142It would be cool to: 1) Make a Meta Smart Glasses take a photo every 2 seconds. 2) Send images to some server in the cloud. 3) Run OCR and object detection/labeling on these images. 4) Then present an app that allows searching (and chatting with) your past. I could then ask the LLM things like: 1) Where did I left my wallet? 2) Did I get my credit card back after paying the restaurant yesterday? (ADHD things, don't a…
>2) Did I get my credit card back after paying the restaurant yesterday? A restaurant should never be taking your credit card out of your view, ever. Really, they should not even be handling it: you should be swiping it yourself at the terminal at the cash register when you pay before leaving.
I would say 95% of the restaurants I go to take your card and run it themselves.

That’s insane. Here in Canada the waiter/waitress brings a portable pos terminal to the table and you pay through that. I’d be incredibly uncomfortable if they ran away with my credit card.

We had that locally. They're abandoning it, citywide. Nobody liked it, it was cumbersome and invasive, it involved your credit card anyway but was a worse experience for everybody.

Generally Black Mirror episodes are not intended to be aspirational.

#146> JavaScript must be enabled in order to use Notion.

I run NoScript, and the way this block is constructed makes it impossible to actually enable JavaScript to run the site.
Please don't redirect to a static page, because that page doesn't have any of the JavaScript present to enable on a case-by-case basis, the the redirect happens so fast I have no chance to enable JavaScript on the main page.
Just enabling for notion.so itself is not sufficient to bypass the block.

Why is that insane? I think a more appropriate description would be "perfectly normal".

Yes, but in the US, the waiter taking the card out of your view, doing something with it, then bringing it back is the norm.
I'd never seen a restaurant do that in the UK.
I think it's a relic of the times before handheld payment terminals existed.
Also, having to decide on a tip percentage directly in front of the waiter is awkward sometimes, doing it the US way avoids that. Tipping is very common in the US.

#149this is ingenious, and most likely will open a thought process for the implementation of similar but extremely lightweight mechanisms in RATs and other malwares (like Rootkits)

I thought about mentioning the Torment Nexus but I figured it is already in the back of everybody’s heads, in this type of conversation, haha.
