PS: Searching for generic terms yields 100% fake glasses, so I took a specific person I remember having strong glasses for myopia.

Just love it thanks

This behavior increases enjoyment and utility of the Internet. Thank you!

Very very rarely emailing executives can get stuff fixed, amazing when it works though

Oh yee CEOs who lack the visibility they need…

Thought it could be a liability sometimes! Maybe that ship sailed

Cut off on Voyager iOS:

paranoid

Mm who wants to rely on someone keeping a verbal promise when it says in writing something like your privacy is at stake?

Download a little offline Wiki for rainy days folks!

I take connectivity for granted but shouldn’t. Batteries charged, books on the shelf, offline games and media stored locally…

I wonder if there’s a parallel universe where the labs instead went to the other extreme and require intelligence tests to onboard to their platforms.

And the outcry is, not inappropriately, about how many are being denied access to the latest technologies. The policy could effectively be construed as racist, even.

Anyway the middle ground there is pretty obvious. (Though I’m not sure how I’d design it just right, so e.g. folks without access to traditional/expensive mental healthcare might still be able to see some small benefit if it’s determined to be safe, just like maybe it could be safe for a well-adjusted individual to complain to it about their day for a couple minutes before moving on to real things. Sure I suppose it’s inherently unsafe but a proportion of the population should be making that decision for themselves.)

I just tried this with ChatGPT three days ago and there’s a chance they have tried to make it slightly less sycophantic

I was essentially trying to get it to tell me I was the smartest baby born in whatever year like that YouTuber—different example but it was so resistant to agreeing to me or my idea or whatever being unique/exceptional.

Hope this is a specific direction and not random chance, A/B testing, etc.

Fascinating.

Here is a longer excerpt from the opinion by Holmes:1

It is true, as indicated in the last cited case, that every exaction of money for an act is a discouragement to the extent of the payment required, but that which in its immediacy is a discouragement may be part of an encouragement when seen in its organic connection with the whole. Taxes are what we pay for civilized society, including the chance to insure.

As a noob, those little wrappers are great.

Well, I just started considering multi-tools and attachment heads and all that :)

Good point, right!

Whoh thousands and not hundreds?

Very nice. The screenshots look promising!

MacDown is pretty solid, but I’ve been looking at alternatives. Unfortunately, while MarkText may be feature-rich, latency is untenable. I think that one’s an Electron app.

Well can even make a little Custom Floating HTML Prompt in Keyboard Maestro to push commands to a CLI - just one way

I always nodded and said yes.

inadvertently kickstarts Elizabeth Holmes promotion to CEO a job or two later :p j/k

btw curious what the proper verification work is. Thought calls were standard. Maybe pulling tax records if possible?
