The housing market is a bit broken: either expensive private housing or affordable publicly managed one, but very hard to get. People often cannot relocate. Big debt. Security, with addicted errands in some districts.

Same. Maybe it's the open source ecosystem that forced him to be overly self confident, to fly above the cognitive noise.

Same!! If I double click on it and nothing happens, delete it.

It was the work laptop of my father. We were on holidays, far from home, so it was harder to fix it. Oops…!

Do you have more details on which aspects of Epictetus' philosophy are related to hating to outsource mental work? I'm not familiar enough with stoicism. Thanks

(I could ask chatgpt, I ask you instead =p)

PS: Claude 3.5 Haiku take on it: "For Epictetus, the process of thinking is more important than the result. By outsourcing mental work, people surrender their most valuable tool for self-improvement - their own mind."

There are ways to watermark the output, by slightly altering the choice of tokens in a recognizable pattern.

Interesting product. We would use that as a backoffice that would be self hosted, fetching from and pushing to backend APIs. Is that use case on your roadmap?

Basically an alternative to Google sheet with JS macros in it. Gsheet is no good for us because we have data protection requirements.

The energy density of the system is surprisingly high (in my modest perspective). It looks like 800kWh per ton of iron. Isn't it ~five times as much as the batteries we have in cars?

For private medical communication, one should not use Google services. Those are just incompatible.

I'd say the same for communication in general, if possible, but using Android without Google is difficult for the average user.
