It's all roleplay, they're no actors once the tokens hit the model. It has no real concept of "author" for a given substring.

The video was really well done, very interesting even though I’m not very familiar with the subject. Is this the sort of thing that would go into a game like No Man’s Sky to improve the planet generation?

Partially true. They've been trained and then aligned towards a preferred style. They don't use em-dashes because they are over-represented in the training material (majority of people don't use them).

Regular banks create new money all the time (loans). There’s no difference to the central bank conceptually as far as I understand, they both record debits/credits to accounts (double entry).

Eating a lot of food is tiring and you have plenty of energy stored from the previous day(s) food.

Unlikely in non-english languages (I seem to remember some super wide Arabic "single character" ones...?)

So does Apple Mail, for anyone wondering.

I cancelled my Spotify the other day in favour of listening to my own archive. I’m admittedly an outlier though.

No one who regularly watches biased news sources does so while acknowledging the constant bias. And I don’t think most people think the BBC is unbiased, it’s constantly attacked as having bias to both sides of the aisle ironically. The BBC is far from perfect but it’s in a different league to Fox News to the point that it feels disingenuous to suggest you’d be better off watching Fox News while telling yourself that you’re filtering out the bias.

Why would you nest paragraph tags?

X is just an awkward name to say out loud, I don’t think most people have given it much thought.

What does Navidrome add over streaming music via Jellyfin, is it just better more tailored client apps? The music client apps for JF are a bit bare bones, although the streaming itself I've found to work perfectly.

I tried a Garmin for a while but the UI bugs/inconsistencies/onboarding process put me off a lot so I eventually got rid of it. Using an old Apple watch SE at the moment and apart from the minor inconvenience of charging it overnight (no need for sleep tracking) it does everything better.

> the Pebble app notifies and asks if you’d like to order another ring

This comes across much more dystopian than I imagine the author intended.

Not the same but I wore ear buds and listened to music while having a tooth pulled, they didn’t mind.

> Most people switch browsers for one reason: speed.

Is that true? Maybe it is and I'm out of the loop but I can't remember the last time someone complained about browser speed. The bottleneck seems to be website bloat more than anything else. Would love to see this argument quantified.

Big fan of sublime merge. I recommend it a lot to people who need to dip their toes in source control and want some layer of abstraction, but also want to feel like they’re connected to the underlying tool (git). Merge balances this very well.

The vast majority of developers working with git daily don’t know what a bare repo is, or that it exists at all. It’s not obscure knowledge as such, it’s just never come up for them as something they need.
