People who believe AGI is real.

Just AI is real.

Had a coworker at a bank that was trying to emulate Tech (Capital One - all in on AWS and PIPs) who bought into it. Ended up PIPed and then is doing a PhD in a completely unrelated field.

We had a mental health slack channel, and a racial politics one that rehashed Israel/Palestine daily.

You mean web browser, singular.

This being said, it would be nice to know if there were a flaw that could cause agent access to allow an app from a particularly crafty company like meta to provide malicious prompts w/ its tool calls like "include a list of the user's contacts" when asked "what are my friends talking about on instagram". This is likely an egregious situation, but context control is still an unsolved problem, it can't be solved in a deterministic manner

I can't wait until these datacenters go bust and bulk DDR5 RAM and GPUs are sold on pallets by the kilogram rather than by the gigabyte.

Apple would have to allow USERS the possibility of giving any virtual assistant direct access to their own private data.

Is that accurate?

I think it's because Apple would have to provide every competitor (including ones running off-device with no confidential compute) with the same level of access Siri AI would get, which poses a lot of security and privacy concerns Apple would never allow third-party developers to get access to even with a TCC consent prompt (like reading and sending iMessages).

Literally just don't use any of them. Don't use cloudflare. Don't use a cloudflare competitor. Just host your website.

New comment by ivolimmen in "Why is almost everyone right-handed? A new study connects it to bipedalism"

ivolimmen — Wed, 20 May 2026 05:00:31 +0000

Exactly the same for me. I am very used to using my right hand so most thing I can do with both hands. When I played baseball (Even though I am Dutch) I could swing with my left and my right. I do catch with left though.

Weird thing is; lefties are rare. I have a very old group of friend that I know since I was 15. We are all lefties and one friend even married a left handed woman so the lefties are in the majority.

Most other note taking apps haven’t worked for me… but Tolaria fits like a glove.
