I know. But I was satirising GPT’s bland writing style, not providing facts

“Shits are frequently classified into three basic types…” and then gives 5 paragraphs of bland guff
Important to know that real-world testing shows that PHEVs are rarely plugged in and just burn oil much of the time
Except people don’t plug in their hybrids and run them on fossil fuels. Hybrids are yet another way the FF industry keeps itself going while pretending things are being fixed
People need to hire vehicles occasionally rather than buy more polluting vehicles against some rare edge case
I got some of those Chipolo trackers shown in the photo. So far I’m pretty disappointed. Based on the locations being reported, I’m pretty sure my phone is the only one in my city working on the Find my Device system, and even that is intermittent. For example, I’ve left my bike, which has a Chipolo tracker hidden on it, in public places such as a busy train station. After two days on the station platform - with goodness knows how many Android phones passing by - the bike is still showing as being at home in my garage. Like, it didn’t even get logged on my own phone as I cycled to the station and left the bike and tracker there. The system really isn’t up to speed yet
Windows 11 has better window shadows than Windows 10. That is literally the only improvement I’ve found
It’s incredibly selective about which topics it’s good for. Want insight into advanced mathematics or new programming languages and people there have amazing insight. But they bring the same level of confidence to the discussion when talking about topics they’ve no idea about.
Have a look at marginalia.nu - it’s like a return to the old days
Rain Alarm! It’s great, and you can customise alerts too
Kagi is good, but for rare topics try search.marginalia.nu
Ironically this article reads like GPT output
Let’s leave aside the fact that everything produced today by so-called AI is absolute dogshit. Let’s pretend it produces things that it’s asked to produce. Even in this version, where’s the pleasure in watching a story you’ve just created with prompts? The point of story is to be taken on a ride by somebody else - ideally someone you trust to give you a satisfying ride and not waste your time.
I mean, just look at the way Microsoft are trying to ram “AI” into every interaction with every app right now. As the big players make it more and more non-optional, people are going to have to work really hard not to put anything into, say, Word that they don’t want sent back for analysis
Why would billions of us stop our excess pollution when we can just kid ourselves a handful of billionaires are doing it all? /s
Nobody can audit the code for all their apps. Even within an ideal world where the code is all open, people don’t have the skills or the time. Sensor permissions are supposed to be a system so that people can have a strong level of confidence in apps without needing those skills and time, and so not having the ability to control this sensor is a problem - but an OS problem
Speaking of which, it uses the same web interface as a lot of other news sites. Newsletter popup, autoplay video part-way down that then jumps to the top of the screen, etc. What Hifi is the same, and there are various other sites all with the same annoying engine. Two questions: (1) are all these sites owned by the same company and (2) is there a browser extension that can fix them?
Those are much much higher up, which introduces a lot of signal latency. The Starlink types are low down, which makes the Comms faster (and also means they keep burning up in the atmosphere)
No way is something that size transmitting video all the time, or even processing it on board to upload summaries. The battery would last about an hour
If they’re like the originals, let’s hope nobody ever needs to control them with the slightest bit of moisture on their hands.
