(Or Warcraft) Basically by profession rather than with their first names.

It’s what I used to think of Dota character names (compared to their lol counterparts).

Is this site legit? I just got a popup telling me I had a virus on my phone and I should click on the button to remove it. With a countdown from 3 minutes.

I get your sarcasm. My comment wasn’t meant to be that deep and yes I can see that his success is a symptom of a deeper problem. I just thought that him being almost comically corrupt, detestable and yet successful is a one off.

Yes but the power of it is that you can in effect refine your search using natural language, like talking to a person, as it remembers the last 2-3 exchanges.

And it presents the information the way you asked to see it.

For example (my side of the “conversation”):

• What is hamas?
• Compared to Hezbollah?
• what are the differences between Shia and Sunni?

The citations confirm the information, they are not the end goal. The added value is the fact that the information is pre-digested and presented in a way that matches my learning process. It’s a lot easier for me to assimilate information by getting answers to questions that I’ve asked.

The one in Skype works quite well and is usually not blocked by companies firewalls… Or so I’ve heard…

As far as I know Google and Bing return AI results just above the usual web page results.

In addition AI LLM tools like Copilot (the mobile app) and Perplexity which cite their sources with links to websites really make it easier to weed out the BS from LLM answers, if you use them carefully. In my case, these tools replace search engines in 80% of the searches that I do.

I always saw him like an anomaly, an unexpected improbable blip in history that may have an effect over decades but the disruptions it brought will go away… eventually.

When he came into power I immediately thought of something in the Foundation series (I try to avoid spoiling it because even if the books have been around for some time people are discovering it through the Apple TV series).

So yeah it’ll get better but perhaps not in our lifetime…

However you look at it it always boils down to marketing and comms. Everyone looks for the best way to get the votes, testing how far they can go. But the left can’t afford to be unethical because that’s part of their identity and they would lose their core voters. The right however… Found trump.

It sounds lame but the best way for the democrats to win is to get people to vote. I believe that was the single reason behind Obama’s ama on Reddit a few years back.

The plain milk chocolate ones are meh but the other ones with nuts or salted caramel are quite nice.

The assemblée nationale can block and cause the prime minister to resign can’t they? Can the left wing alliance not join forces again to veto the pm appointment? I guess the problem is that they managed to do it to repel the le pen’s party but not all left leaning parties are similarly united against Barnier’s government.

Are you really getting updates though? Samsung latest phones are expected to be getting updates for 7 years but as far as I know the s10 range isn’t officially supported anymore. Samsung don’t need to provide security updates to your phone anymore. I think the last one was Q4 of 2023 and it made the news because it was unexpected.

Sudden increase is key here.

What’s “wrong” in your question is the assumption that a) the only reason religions exist is the lack of knowledge and b) that the knowledge we have answers all the questions that people seek answers to when they turn to religion. I think if you question these assumptions then you’ll easily start to find the answers. Otherwise see all the other comments.

This article really sounds like it describes an alternate reality to me. Interesting to see how many people in the comments seem to hate self checkouts but here in the UK they seem to work fine. Shops seem to have found the right balance. In the same shop you’ll have queues advancing rapidly at self checkouts and people run tills with shorter queues for customers who prefer the human interaction.

Would be good if they also force companies to support security updates for more that 5 years…

I don’t need to change phone. I like my S10+. It does what I need. But I feel I’ll have to change it soonish if I want to continue using for online banking etc.

Cheers. All the best to you and your loved ones for 2024!

Yes I realise I’ll have to make it clearer next time. Thank you.

I see. Really weird to hear about these old school boomers’ mentality. I thought they were the minority because “why would I work for you if you say shit like that?” In the tech industry where I work this wouldn’t fly. Or companies push for rto just to push people out. But I can now imagine how it can be in other industries.

Ah I see. Basically yes we have proper flexibility. There’s encouragement to go in more but no “stick” (yet). Some are fully remote and doing well for example.
