Thanks for your thoughts. I am curious to hear more about how AI did not help in your math project, if you are happy to share. Also curious to why you think in some cases it seems to help[1], and others it does not (your case). I also defin

Fair enough, but I fear the necessary foundational knowledge becomes smaller and smaller as LLMs get better.

I hope indeed that AI stays at the shallow end. I dread a world where that's not the case, because then I think it will be a little harder to find purpose.

Fair enough. I have often the same feeling with chess though: the fact that computers are so much better than any human removes a little something to me.

Yes, I did it in the same day. But I am surprised that they are technically able to do that. My impression was that Apple had locked down this kind of things. Clearly not. Any random ideas as to how they can technically fingerprint the devi

Great heads-up. This whole ego-inflated saga is mind-blowing to me. It feels like something is seriously wrong with our system. Maybe this is the right idea : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36403974 Correlating profit

Well, I am under the impression that even a static page can have security flow, because of this article : https://medium.com/cyberdefendersprogram/making-your-jekyll-... I think it might not concern a website hosted on

Ok, thanks. And it should be very secure, even if I never update it, right? Github pages automatically updates gems for you?

Ok, thanks. I will get a domain name for it, yes.

Ok, interesting. That is what I am considering. Any feedback on that? Do you feel it's worth it? Any tip?

Thanks for that. I am not sure I am ready for the jump from macOS to linux though. I will consider it, thanks for the pointer.

I agree with your general point. I would just add that I personally feel too much of the blame is placed on the media companies. They should get some blame, but ultimately they are providing what the consumer wants. I feel the consumers des
