Hermes supports this too, just do `/handoff telegram` and your current session is moved to telegram, it pings you on your phone, etc. It's pretty nice, though I do still prefer the Codex dedicated app for remote control

Isn't that exactly what Plato's saying? The books cannot understand themselves, and we rely upon them, and in doing so that changes us.

Plato on how reading and writing make us more forgetful as we rely on this new technology: > And so it is that you by reason of your tender regard for the writing that is your offspring have declared the very opposite of its true effect.

I think this works unironically. My mother is an avid gardener and can spend 8 hours a day gardening. When her life circumstances allowed for it, she hired a once a week gardener to do the tasks she didn't like (or had difficulties doi

What about longer rest periods? For example if I wait 1hr between sets I can do full weight again without dropping down weights with a 2-5min break. In fact I can get multiple more sets in and significantly increase my total volume if I spr

There is none, it's the most respected/widely read conservative publication. Calling Rebel News the Breitbart equivalent is more fair. CBC is definitely left wing[1], with a bias towards the liberal party (centre-left). Globe and

It's completely unreasonable. Calling someone a dickhead in any professional environment is unprofessional and should be grounds for dismissal. Should bosses also get one free insult for their employees too? Obviously not.

Yes, the type system basically replaces a degree of unit tests. You no longer need unit tests that are basically just type checking. And it's more comprehensive too. It's much easier to have incomplete test coverage without knowin

But it seems like Airbus is the exception to the rule, by and large. For example, the Typhoon Eurofighter has had disappointing exports.

To be fair, reality can often conflate those two concepts too. What I mean is that in some cases a lack of sovereignty can lead to economic catastrophe if people are willing to pillage your economy by force. As you note it depends on circu

True, but this ignores the fact that Boeing employees were actively "designing new planes" in that time, and thus had the skill set. From your wiki link, some choice excerpts (not one whole paragraph): > In 1963 [edit: 6 years

It’s about legal copyright exposure. The copyright status of AI art is unclear, it has not been legislated or tried before the courts. In a worst case scenario, Steam could allow “AI generated games” on, after which AI art is regulated perh

I don't think there's an implication per se. It's just a description of fact. This has happened before, and likely will happen again. It's helpful to be aware that we're in a cycle rather than a one-time process.
