Interesting, in my experience Claude usually does okay with the first pass, often gets the best visual/ui output, but cannot improve beyond that even with repeated prompts and is terrible at optimising, GPT almost the opposite.

The automotive quartz crisis is well under way.

They will become mainstream because the advertising industrial complex will see the opportunity to have a paid subscription model to reality with ads from the moment you open your eyes to those on the free-tier.

Realtime on-demand satnav in ar, onscreen messaging, news updates etc, the facial recognition is just one aspect, having automatic connections with people looking at you across a room signifying interest.

This is dystopian to me but I don't see how it doesn't eventually become mainstream.

Despite the traumatic stuff I find Rebecca's books very childish, Tartt is truly literary and every attempt by anyone else to ape her work or simply the associated "Dark Academia" aesthetic just pales...

1. That's the CIA

2. The lab leak hypothesis is geopolitically convenient for the US

3. They explicitly state "low confidence" in their affirmation of this hypothesis

1. Nobody suggested we exclude inconvenient intelligence organisations.

2. Irrelevent because:

3. Low confidence, but probable merely implies plausibility, at least a somewhat higher likelihood than a wild previously unencountered zoonotic.

Based on all publicly available information it does seem more likely, the CIA will be better informed than the public, if they (and others) concur then I don't see why we need to dismiss it.

> The review offered on Saturday is based on "low confidence" which means the intelligence supporting it is deficient, inconclusive or contradictory. There is no consensus on the cause of the Covid pandemic.

The article literally says there is no consensus.

I was merely addressing your accusation of "out-of date information", I'm not the original commenter.

personal responsibility is more common in the UK, it is assumed that one can cross the road safely without needing traffic lights for example, or walk along a stretch of an ancient monument without needing a handrail.

I've never met anyone here who has ever had any issues associated with paracetamol abuse/overdose, and only a single person who failed to cross the road correctly.

Current politics, semicondutors, or security

from an incredibly trivial perspective I was thinking about this recently when I discovered all games operate as saas products now, if for whatever reason you're banned then you can no longer play the product you purchased, what happened to third party mplayer servers?

Not all games. The options are ridiculously more diverse there than for smartphone OSes or even for social media.

>why are we even supposed to care about wealth inequality

Precisely, it's a nonsense metric that doesn't anything about poverty at all which is something that truly matters.

I have an unusual job title, but it just means my employer can pay me less than the going rate for a dev-ops or data engineer, while massaging whatever my role encompasses to their current needs.

I think it's holding me back to be quite honest, and the lack of formal definition means there's also very little growth opportunity within the org.
