I can see why Reddit needs to secure the user base. As not accounts proliferate they need to be able to demonstrate verified real users to their advertisers. Unfortunately for privacy, this will be widespread, in that case. I’m opting out.

You may need to work on your jokes :)

Have you considered the possibility that, if you have 2k bookmarks, this isn’t necessarily a self-hosting issue, but rather a bookmark hoarding issue :)

So I installed LineageOS recently. Now that I’ve transferred my passwords and account info I’m quite happy. What will happen from here? Will some apps stop working? If not, is there a problem with just continuing to use the phone as is until I need a new phone (security, eg)?

Then the student could just ask the AI to simulate a thesis defense and learn answers to the most likely questions.

The funny thing is, they would actually learn the material this way, through a kind of osmosis. I remember writing cheat sheets in college and finding I didn’t need it by the end.

So there are potential use cases, but not if the university doesn’t acknowledge it and continues asking for work that can be simply automated.

Perhaps some people can’t afford it. I have the luxury of paying for weekly therapy but its probably one of my biggest line item expenses.

Yeah, it’s like me never having alcohol before and walking into a frat party as a freshman. Sometimes it’s better to come prepared.

People who track performance (like METR, a nonprofit) indicate that progress is, if anything, speeding up. Most people’s use case is so simple they can’t detect the difference.

This should be concerning if you think the world isn’t ready for labor displaced by LLMs.

I think this may be a skill issue on your part.

The ad writes itself: NO ONEDRIVE.

I’m curious about the scientific consensus continually undershooting. At a certain point, if you’re always updating in one direction, shouldn’t you overcorrect a bit?

Better that they cover it than not. And the recent ramp up is worth reporting on, it’s a new level of weaponization compared to previous administrations.
