<p>Great, so they can further extrapolate what exact locations you get nervous / are more relaxed / walk more quickly… the understated problem with PII isn’t about any single data point, it’s about combining data to make probable inferences.</p>

<p>Interesting idea, seems like an adventurous v1 idea. Feels like it would be hard to sell this to enthusiasts who want a nicer keyboard, and hard to sell to the average consumer who’d still rather have a laptop or iPad.</p>

<p>Is an ETF simple?<p>I get your point that in modern society, you can invest in an ETF in a few clicks, but in a way, owning your own infrastructure is simpler. Transform the sun into energy reserves with parts you can buy, understand, and install yourself from wholesalers.<p>A power company is opaque, carries overhead, and requires complexity to serve at an institutional level. ETFs have a similar complexity/abstraction to their customers.</p>

<p>I transferred my number from Mint Mobile to Visible 8 months ago or so. I tried to at least. They initiated the number transfer before accepting payment from me. Their iOS app was bugged and their web app had no way to pay. I engaged support and they escalated to engineering. Still had no phone number or cell access for 3 days, with an upcoming trip planned. Ended up getting them to transfer it to US Mobile which has been fine. Probably works a lot of the time but it’s a shitshow.</p>

<p>Apparently pro tools came out in 1989, makes me think this may or may not be true. This article has some info about the mixture of analog and digital tools use to record:<p>> The main event was a brand-new mixing console called the Harrison Series 10, which was the first analog console to feature a digital control surface, with full automation of all parameters. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were the first studio to have it, according to Jam. This meant that they could cut down the time it took to switch songs to about 10 minutes because complex mixes now required little-to-no cross-patching.<p><a href="https://reverb.com/news/the-making-of-janet-jacksons-rhythm-nation" rel="nofollow">https://reverb.com/news/the-making-of-janet-jacksons-rhythm-...</a></p>

<p>shoutout AUR, I’m trying arch for the first time (Omarchy) and wasn’t planning on using the AUR, but realized how useful it is when 3 of the tools I wanted to try were distributed differently. AUR made it insanely easy… (namely had issues with Obsidian and Google Antigravity)</p>

<p>PII isn’t limited to SSNs. By your logic, First name can’t be PII, and last name with no accompanying info wouldn’t be PII. Different types of data have different risk profiles. When multiple records about an individual are collected the risk grows exponentially. Location is absolutely PII when combined with other risky data, like license plate.</p>

<p>What % of the time do you think the die-hard gamers live a healthy lifestyle? I’m thinking it’s higher than my knee jerk reaction, like 40-50%, but an important consideration. Of course people define “healthy” differently too, but obesity and mental health crises have objectively grown and correlate with rising technology use.</p>

<p>So far the only thing I’ve noticed is that it made me confirm that it should do a 10 minute task “manually” because it “would take 2 or 3 hours”<p>It was a context merging task for my unorganized collection of agents… it sort of made sense, but was the exact reason I was asking it to do it… like you’re the bot, lol</p>

<p>+1, I have a c4ai docker container + brave search MCP (2000 queries/mo free!) running on my laptop so I can ask claude code to do research similar to GPT deep research, but I config to ignore robots.txt since it's a one-off instance collecting data on my personal behalf, not a service  (At least that's how I justify it)</p>
