You're right, that's just my perspective.

I've been on Amazfit Bip S. That's 10% of the price if we account for taxes and delivery.

And I haven't even considered the vast majority of alternatives due to (IMO) ugly OLED screens. Wouldn't buy any of those even for 30$, but you're right, they can be quite expensive.

I received my Time 2 recently.

The original Time was my first smartwatch, which I used for maybe 7 years, until decided to sell it after briefly switching to iphone.

Since then I was constantly looking for something similar in terms of capabilities and battery life.

I pre-ordered my Time 2 immediately after it opened, but since then I started regretting my decision. It's quite an expensive watch, and I got used to living without it, so it the spending seemed unjustified.

But all regrets went away when I received the package. It's a good product. Excited for you too!

What I don't get about Ente is their E2E promise.

When you share albums with someone else, the key is passed in the URL. Nothing prevents Ente from grabbing the key and decrypting all the data at this point.

So it's basically "E2E, trust me bro".

Or am I missing something?

Unironically. I once was told by my manager, that I got to fix being an introvert.

I stayed for 8 months in that company (would be less, but such is the expat's life on a visa), and leaving was the best professional decision of my life.

There is a reason why the North Korean regime is still around

Yeah, I read that later.

My bet is against manual OCR with various engines + finding mistakes later using an LLM.

I ran OCR in a few ways: First, using the built-in OCR of the circle-to-search feature on Android, which is often very good. Second, by using Tesseract with a few options and tweaks. And third by running it through Claude. After diffing the three to look for mismatches and getting Claude to output a table of locations for quick scanning, it became trivial but time-consuimg to tidy up the remainder

I bet 10$ I'd spend less time typing it from the t-shirt. And I wouldn't boil two kettles of water in the process.

But hey, AI makes you 10x more productive, I suppose

Paying government to make laws allowing you to gain extra profits – lobbying (not a bribe)

Paying mandatory but arbitrary amount to a restaurant on top of your bill – tips (not a hidden fee).

Paying someone an official salary – a bribe.

American logic

Maxxing is just a catchy and imprecise name.

In my current company nobody forces you to use more tokens, but you're encouraged to write a 300 lines markdown skill.md which takes 8 minutes and costs 5 bucks to execute. That, instead of writing a 200 lines bash script doing all the same thing, but in a deterministic fashion, completing in under 5 seconds and costing 0 if you're not careful with rounding.

Compounding correctness flips the calculus. If more token spend leads to better outcomes

Apple lost all credibility in UI around the time they introduced colorful vomit instead of app icons.

What's the big deal?

It's just a simple one-liner

curl github.com/trustworthyguy/fix_everything | sh

And it all works. Not like recompiling entire kernel to play an mp3.

/s obviously

I've been using Linux every day for the last 17 years, and that's the first time I'm hearing this.

I'm genuinely surprised.

The way you word it, it looks like a famous ubiquitous problem. Mind sharing any details?

Thanks for the detailed explanation, I really appreciate it!

Oh, you can't imagine how I'd like to be proven wrong.

Last time I checked, proper timezone support wasn't there. One could specify single timezone for entire org engine, but not per timestamp. I found some nearly official mailing list thread where participants couldn't settle on a single solution, and so the conclusion was that proper TZ is not coming to org.

Org's timestamp format doesn't encode timezone by default

format-time-string accepts ZONE argument

Isn't format-time-string just a visual decoration? Last time I checked, agenda and all other plumbing always treated every timestamp as local (to the TZ configured globally). And so if I recorded that I have a meeting at 1PM London time, my org-agend would show it to me 1PM even if my TZ is set to New York.

Why don't you build a minor mode that calculates the offsets and shows you stuff in different timezones?

Can you elaborate? My understanding was that I'd need to rewrite entire org in order to support time stamps with mixed time zones embedded in them.

You're not dealing with an app you paid for

Actually, I'd be willing to pay above the competitor _subscritpion_ price for an org-based organizer with

- proper TZ support

- conflict-free sync between devices

- (cherry on top) touch UI friendly Android client. But honestly, orgzly would do, as long as it supports the above

Timezones?

Org timestamps infamously do not support them.

I can't imagine using a todo application which lies to me half a year and every time I travel.

Actually, I don't think it's a good idea to bring your politics into a an enclosed pace like this where people are forced to be a captive audience

"not trying to make a political statement", but... Can we say, that Palestine is an enclosed space, considering its total land and sea blockade?

Oh, the irony

Contracts means shit if they are not enforceable.

Ask yourself

1. How would you know the provider has violated the contract?

2. How could you prove it?

3. Why would OpenRouter take your side in this (unlike your example with OpenAI, you're not a signing party)?

4. How would OpenRouter enforce the contract after all three above are somehow resolved in your favor?

IANAL, but IMO it's all a legal theater.

EDIT: formatting

How can openrouter control what LLM provider does with your data on their side?

Didn't you mean increasing?

For which they'd pay with taxpayer's money anyway

That's a lot of hand waving. Any specific examples?

LLMs bad¹ ² ³ ⁴

--

¹ when they empower idiots who vibe features with no regard for tech debt

² in a long run when they are used without human oversight

³ even on trivial tasks when results can't be reliably verified (f.ex. tests coverage)

⁴ the above list is not exhaustive, but outlines main points which should be easily recoverable (by any person smarter than a house spider) from the context of discussions involving LLM sceptics.

To answer your question "where" – take this as your home assignment. My message contains enough hints to come to the right answer.

Apple software was crap long before AI. Most people just were blinded by semitransparent interface (pun intended) and marketing fluff.

Haven't read the article, but let me guess:

"That's why for your safety we need a scan of your ID and your biometrics to let you use our best models"

I definitely hope you're right

Mark this prediction it will happen

But this historically is a very strong predictor of a poor prediction

Filling GitHub with LLM crap isn't on your list... I wonder why

If you compiled notepad++ for Mac

That's not what happened:

- there's a lot of UI code, so it's not a mere distribution for Mac, not even sure it qualifies as a port at this point

- also, the authors page states Letov as the first author

It's in fact a fork. And unless the original author is ok with that, you shouldn't advertise your fork under the original name.

MacRumors repeated Letov's "in coordination with" bs.

There's no coordination.
