EU politicians are exempt from this measure. They thought it all the way through. (Edit: seems that the statement above applies to ChatControl 2.0, not the approved text. Apologies.)

I ran BeOS as a daily driver for a few months in the early 2000s. I had a winmodem and Linux couldn't connect to the internet for me, but for some reason, BeOS had drivers, so I used it. It was faster and the desktop environment felt m

I did write to him some weeks ago after reading GEB! Didn't get a reply, but also, I don't expect to. I just hope he reads the praise :)

I do hear my heartbeat from my left ear. The ear doctor said that the ear can be sensitive to the blood flowing from nearby arteries, and that there's nothing to do. Stress affects the heartbeat volume. I just got used to it, but it ca

And it was Europe who, every time, fought back and won. It works both ways.

I built a chatbot startup in 2015. It integrated with Whatsapp (which was possible at the time with some hacks), and had: - Multimodality: Text/audio/images input and output. Integrated OCR. - Connection with an asterisk server, i

Banning them is a bit harsh and unrealistic, as they allow the platform to be monetized. Here's my random idea: all commercial accounts must be labeled as such, and people should be able to opt-out from seeing any post by such accounts

Not war and peace, which was episodic, but smaller novels were thought out in Tolstoy’s mind before being written wholly. He mentions this in his diaries. Zweig mentions the same, too, but of course his novels are generally much shorter tha

I’ve read Tolstoy’s diaries and he mentions the thought process he uses to write small novels. First he thinks about what should happen, then he writes (or dictates) the text. Thinking takes a few weeks, sometimes a month, then writing is p

Novels were dictated, that is absolutely correct, but on top of it, the whole plot was developed with a high level of detail before dictation started. There was some editing, of course, but nothing like we do today, where writing books is b

I think you are right and I understood it the other way around Kind of ironic, though - I wrote, but my thinking process wasn't so great :) Thanks for the correction!

While I agree with the underlying message, "writing is thinking" is only circumstantially correct. It wasn’t always like this. We learned to think by writing only after writing became cheap. Yes, we’ve trained our brains to develo

Ah, I understand. I don't think it breaks any rule, so it must be off-topic. A bit harsh maybe, but gotta agree to the rules to play the game :)

I think this is just the first step for a full-featured agent that not only does searches for you, but also executes whatever was your goal (e.g. a restaurant reservation, etc)

Preview is one of the most underrated apps in macOS, and the one I miss the most when I use Linux or Windows. It's a great little toolbox for quick editing and convenience features.

VGA Planets. Such a great game, advanced to its time! It was a Civilization-like game, but in space, with lots of pop culture references, complex like Dwarf Fortress, and turn-based. Each turn was uploaded to a BBS or Usenet, and a host put
