Yeah, the LLM is ok, but nothing amazing. When you have a moderately hard problem, the LLM won’t provide a magic solution. For example, finding a specific movie based on a long description instead of the name, seems to be almost impossible. I have problems like this rather frequently, because I tend to forget the name of the movie but still remember fragments of the plot.

When the LLM screws up movie searches like this, I just end up watching the wrong movie.

It’s a problem if you still use Google. Somewhere around 2015 I switched to DDG, and it quickly replaced Google for me. Since then, I’ve been experimenting with some other search engines too, and currently I’m using Qwant on my laptop.

I rely on smart devices to tell the time, but it’s easy to notice DST when the few dumb devices I have are out of sync. If I didn’t have any of those, I would have missed the switch entirely.

Yeah, I just found it. Missed the last movies, so I guess I should check it out.

I have seen some reviews of the live action remakes, and I was not impressed. As a result, nowadays I actively avoid being exposed to those movies.

I think it’s just Hollywood style engaging story telling. Who cares what any books have to say about Satan. Write some dichotomy and conflict into the story, and people can’t get enough of it.

I can see why you ask that. Since I didn’t think that comment though very well, now every downvoter considers me a racist. Fair enough. Should have rewritten it entirely, but it’s too late for that now.

Long and nuanced posts are boring to read while short and snappy ones involve skipping all the important details. Also, swiping away carelessly doesn’t help.

I was mainly thinking about the fact that Disney tends to change things significantly and abruptly. For example, many Star Wars fans were disappointed by the changes, so I thought that 007 fans could face similar disappointments. What those changes actually are do not really matter to me. What matters more is how quickly they happen and how much the direction of the entire series changes.

I don’t use the term “woke” to describe the changes Disney makes, since I prefer to distance myself from the crowd that uses it. Focussing more on the rate of change and its magnitude is more interesting to me.

Didn’t expect a strong reaction like that. Then again, I didn’t think it through before hitting send. My bad.

Oh. Totally missed that one. Oops. Haven’t seen the last few films.

If Disney buys the 007 brand, you can be sure there will be a black female James Bond.

Not if you torrent for professional use.

It’s also organic, free range and all that.

For many people, acceptance is super hard, and they end up struggling for years. Once you’ve gone through that stage, life suddenly starts to feel much less stressful.

It’s well known that brooms are the pinnacle of cybersecurity among cleaning tools! Every smart device is a potential target for hackers, while these dumb tools stand as an impenetrable fortress. Forget about remote hacking; the only way to breach a broom’s defences is with good old-fashioned physical access and a hacksaw. As long as you keep your brooms locked up tight, nobody will be hacking them. Better yet, being 100% software-free, there’s no pesky malware or bloatware either. Brooms also take wireless security very seriously. No hardware kill switches are needed when there’s zero communication in either direction.

Outspoken chief executive Elon Musk has said he “disagrees” with the idea of unions. “I just don’t like anything which creates a kind of lords and peasants sort of thing,”

He should try stand up comedy next.

This is why it’s important to sit down and write a document titled “my threat model, 2026”. OP should figure out what they’re really worried about, how important it is, and what are they willing to sacrifice. Once that’s done, it’s easy to start putting that philosophy into practice.

Diving into some deep philosophical waters, are we?

If other people agree with my interpretation of the world, that’s good enough for me. Who knows if it’s real or not. It’s not like I have the means to figure that out.

If they say I’m seeing things and talking to people who don’t even exist, I might be having delusions, hallucinations or something. If that’s the case, it’s the brain doing something weird, and I might not be able to figure that out either.

Either way, sounds kinda scary, but I don’t really see much that I could do about it.

That’s a pretty solid point. Can’t argue with that.

And all of them have stellar security. No data ever leaks anywhere.

Pro tip: If you use a pen and paper to blackmail the FBI and CIA, they can’t trace it back to you using invisible yellow dots.
