they do some reverse image search on the internet and find your facebook profile or similar things.

Idk, I’m not distro-hopping that much these days. The Laptop that annoyed me had Debian Testing. I think with the unattended-upgrades (badly) configured. Fortunately you can change that in less than a minute…

Yeah, they mention that it’s unsuspicious glasses by the look. We’ll have to see what this comes to… When google introduced their Google glasses, people got yelled at on the streets, at least as far as I remember.

Clickbait warning. This has nothing to do with the Meta smart glasses. They’re just a means of taking pictures of people without them noticing. But you could do the same with any internet connected camera / phone etc.

The applying updates on shutdown is another interesting thing… Where did that come from btw? In the old days, my Linux machine used to apply updates in the background. Or ask me. And now a few distros have switched to doing it on shutdown (or worse: restart and start some systemd task and shut down again), which is mildly annoying if you want to shut down your laptop, throw it into the backpack and catch the next train.

As I said in a comment on one of your previous posts, you might want to read the papers on “Chain of thought” prompting. This has already been studied and you’ll find some more ideas and estimates of what it can do. It is a good approach to make the LLMs a bit smarter. And recently it was popularized by OpenAI.

Ja gut. Wären jetzt nicht meine Lieblings-Urlaube, aber das ginge wohl. Und der deutssprachige Raum ist jetzt auch nicht so klein und notfalls kann man sich auch mit Händen und Füßen verständlich machen. Also irgendwie kann man sich immer durchwurschteln. Ich glaube aber trotzdem, dass man abseits von den übersetzten Museumsführern und organisierten Touren dann doch eher eingeschränkt ist. Und abends im Irish Pub oder so kann man auch nicht mit fremden Menschen labern. Kommt dann drauf an was man von seinem Urlaub so will.

Wird aber auch mal Zeit. In meiner Beobachtung sind die Englisch-Skills der jungen Menschen nicht immer herausragend. Ich frage mich immer, wie Menschen ohne Englisch durch’s Leben gehen. Ich mein von Internet über Youtube bis zu Urlaub machen kann man ja an vielem überhaupt nicht teilnehmen, wenn man diese Sprache nicht versteht.

I think that’s what the Satanic Temple regularly does:

And who has better sex? And is more happy in general? I mean the egalitarian couples could also spend their time differently and thus have less sex? Maybe they spend their nights in the bar, in the cinema, playing Super Smash Bros. on the Switch or going to the amusement park… And boarding the beef bus every night is not that important to them?

I’m not super impressed by just looking at the quantity. It’s not what I’d have expected… But I think more research is needed.

Where I live (Germany), it’s fairly common to buy the generics. Not everyone does it, but enough people. They’re available and oftentimes it’s the exact same ingredients inside, just a different packaging and brand name on it. And a third of the price or so. I think it’s more that people buy what they’re used to. And if you just ask for Aspirin (which is a brand name here), the pharmacist is going to hand you that, and not the generic. So it’s a bit more effort to add half a sentence to deliberately ask for the cheap one.

I don’t like these only men / only women questions. Why don’t you judge an answer by if it’s well reasoned? You shouldn’t judge by if it’s coming from a person with a certain set of private parts.

I mean there are exceptions. »How does it feel to be a woman? I’m interested in the woman perspective.« is a valid question. But I think if asking for broad concepts like in this case, it should be avoided.

Regarding the OF creator question… I’m not sure. I’d date first and see if it’s a nice person before marrying. And live together for maybe half a year to assess if that’s working out. Basically the same as with any other person with regular hobbies/jobs. If that’s alright, everyone loves each other, enough boxes are ticked… I’d marry anyone. Disregarding if she’s a plumber, OF creator or computer science professor.

I don’t think the app in the picture is driven by AI. Seems like a catalogue of questions. Probably to assess some situation by some standard procedure. I’d trust that. Regarding the AI apps mentioned below: I wouldn’t trust them at all. If my private parts start itching and I can’t make sense of it, I’d go to the doctor. At least if it’s serious. Or use Dr. Google if it’s not too bad.

Stimmt, der läuft ja seit einer ganzen Weile nicht mehr bei Neo. Und Oliver Welke hab ich auch vergessen bzw die heute show. Die ist hin und wieder auch ganz unterhaltsam.

Auf 3sat kommen aber ein paar nette Sendungen. Eigentlich kann man das am frühen Abend oft ganz gut nebenher einschalten. Können wir nicht lieber den ZDF Hauptsender einstellen? Da wüsste ich jetzt nix was mir fehlen würde.

Since when do AI companies care about copyright 😆🙃

Lol. I’m impressed by the timing. But it seems there is a reason why they don’t want it to sing 🤗

Sure, the universe is big. If you travel far enough, there is bound to be a planet with water and maybe breathable air. You might have to travel a few million years, though. And keep in mind that plants produced the oxygen here on earth by photosynthesis. So I’m not sure about how that’d happen on other planets. Maybe they can have oxygen for other physics reasons. Maybe they already have life on them. It’s difficult to quantify the statistical chance for that. But the universe is a big place.

If you question is if we can go there, the anwer is most certainly: No.

Kids primarily need loving parents, friends and a nice evironment to grow up in. The exact gender of their parents and if they have 1, 2 or 3 doesn’t matter that much. Everything in life has its unique challenges. But I think a kid with 2 traditional, yet unloving parents isn’t better off than a kid with one or two mothers who love it. So it’s giving your kid what they need, that is important. Not how you “produced” them, or if you’re a man.

wtf?
