The Meta AI app is a Privacy Disaster.

It’s hard to imagine how an LLM would figure out gate-level performance improvements but I could definitely see a GAN doing that with enough time and effort.

I think after 18 months or so you will have a good feeling for what you bought. There will still be things to do. There will ALWAYS be things to do (some of which will be very expensive). But as far as coming to terms with exactly where everything is, what the quirks are, and whether you can live with them, you need all 4 seasons and a bit.

I don’t think this is quite right - the “hierarchy of needs” pyramid is misleading. Self-actualization is fleeting just like physical care (eg meeting basic needs) is fleeting - if you stop doing it, things go downhill quickly, and so you’re always doing it at least a little bit.

While a lot of people frame self actualization as what they would do if only all other needs are met, they really should be thought of as needs you must meet to feel fulfilled. Could be as simple as reading a good book, getting out into nature or cooking a nice meal. Anything that you get value from ticks the box for a little while.

As stupid as this sounds I think we (and really the media, but we know which side they’re on) should be doing this in F for US audiences. Saying “hey, it’s now 5°F hotter than it was in the 1970s” is more immediately meaningful — and the bigger number looks scarier too.

In the US this would probably turn into a point of pride pretty quickly.

How well-developed is this telekinetic power? Could I, for example:

• Continuously turn the air 10M around them into a horrific miasma of farts by doing organic chemistry with nearby carbon and sulfur sources?
• Always make it much too uncomfortably warm near them by raising the local temperature?
• Condense the moisture out of it so that the politicians are always dripping wet?

I think in absence of doing real harm to them the best bet is to make them and everyone within 10M of them as extremely uncomfortable as possible.

A couple prices that went up also have come down, but not by as much as they went up.

I wish there was a good way to track this, because you know a bunch of corps are going to be trying to pass the buck (while also keeping it)
