Considering that being polite when sending prompts has an impact on responses and outcome I am waiting for unfiltered models and inspection and alternative responses.

The majority of software I have come across can be put into three categories:

The first is the 'de facto', which are widely adopted for various reasons, mostly marketing, market share, and marketing.

The second is the "alternative" options that serve as alternatives to the previously mentioned choices.

The remaining software falls into the third category, where the focus is on implementing improvements to the other two categories.

My real friends use group text. Nothing fancy. Real names. Real numbers. No data collection. No cost.

Memes flow. Links get posted.

All is just a setup for the next IRL meeting.

I found the end of the internet in '99.

This is the last few sites that have a low bot ratio.

Fully autonomous cars would work well if they could all drive at 15mph without stop signs.

Easily enough to dodge, stop, limit damage while not requiring red lights or stop and go allowing passengers and pedestrians to travel.

Agreed but at what cost?

Get-Process | Out-Host -Paging | Format-List

Case sensitive hyphenated compound word commands?

Is the alternative to source every dependency and inspect for any known exploit?

The (current) repo owner perhaps - is https://github.com/QuantumChilipepper

Wishing is one thing. Hope is the better thing. There is something beyond death. I don't know how anyone can think otherwise. Who else has the words of life?

I've been 100% ChromeOS for ten years.

All my dev work, personal, and internet while I work. KVM to swap. External screens.

Strict separation of work and life. No key logging like the work system. No fillers.

The ISP president called me at home when it was a teen to tell me "don't do that[0] again".

I looked him up recently. He's a big player in SV now.

We're already saving thousands of human hours with a dozen people from playing with ideas in the last three weeks.

Thanks to data processing, humans going about it manually, we have saved $40MM a month. I am quite certain we can save a few hundred million by the end of the year.

We have not yet even started ingesting our own data yet.

In a practical sense the lock is an indicator of limited access.

The ability to gain entry is trivial given a few minutes and intent.

The locks in my house are there so the glass has to be broken. The glass is there to give me enough time to respond.

If someone is picking my lock they are involved in a hit, not theft.
