We know what happened to him in amazing detail because he escaped north, to the Hebrides, through Flanders, Dunkirk and eventually back to Spain where he lived out his days.

O'Rourke was executed by the English for harboring survivors

Would Skyrim be better if you could talk to ever guard about what they had for breakfast? Would you ever be able to shake the knowledge that it's just an LLM pretending?

I'm not sure how best to put this. I think for me at least, I get the most enjoyment out of discovering my way through a story that somebody else wrote. This is maybe why I don't like multiplayer games as much a single player experiences. I want another human to tell me a story, and I love the feeling of uncovering the little pieces of story and wondering if I've got it all and how much more there is. If an LLM is just randomly making it up as it goes, I'm not discovering anything. I'm not hearing a story. Instead, I'm just having a transient conversation with myself.

I guess it's equivalent to the difference between visiting an art gallery, versus watching a computer generate fake paintings. One has human intent behind it and that makes it compelling, the other is soulless and empty

He failed to counter the rise of Twitter, failed to combat misinformation during elections, directly contributing to the result of the brexit referendum and the election of Donald Trump in 2016

For any issue, start a brand new context, point it to the spec, explain the issue and explain if it's a regression.

Also on it might seem like an obvious one, the more test coverage you have, the more your llm can tell if something has broken or if there's been a regression without needing to eat up context.

All of these things can help but there's no perfect solution.

Yes it's made from plastic tarp, which makes it lightweight and easy to manufacture or repair. Yes it's got low potential at ground level but that makes it far safer and simpler to install.

This design or a variation of it could be built with PVC pipe and plastic bags and deployed in a field for next to nothing, bringing power to a community that didn't have any.

It's insanity to want to charge near 5k for this, but if this was an open source / free thing we'd all be championing the ingenuity

Don't we want innovation in renewables? Shouldn't we be encouraging this kind of thing, trying out different designs to the traditional windmills and trying to make something easy to build, scale, install and operate?

But I genuinely miss having the ability to take the bloat out before you ever install the OS

And then maybe we could get the dream that is Windows lite

I know you're trying to make a counter point, but nobody wants copilot. Out of everyone I've talked to in the last year, across a broad spectrum of Windows users from sys admins who make me feel like a caveman down to my parents, nobody trusts AI and nobody wants AI in their OS or apps.

An AI free Windows would be an instant hit, but it would fly in the face of everything Microsoft stands for, so for that reason, it'll never happen

Maybe irony is too strong, but it's amusing at least

> Why not the Fn / key? It's the obvious one-finger choice, but on macOS the Fn key emits no real keypress — only a hidden hardware flag — so

And

> macOS permissions (read this if the hotkey "does nothing")

Sorry but I can't see a reason to use this over something tried and tested like Handy, which is free, open source, on-device, does post capture correction and isn't limited to whisper (you can use parakeet v3 which I find way better than whisper)

Turning the entire planet carbon neutral is so much harder a problem.

Also the fossil fuel industries have been trying to bury research on global warming since long before social media existed
