My absolute favorite quote:

Loss of objectivity

The challenge: Ask an AI tool for evidence supporting what you already believe, and it will find it. Confirmation bias now comes with a research engine.

You can add any address as a backup email address for a google account. And for some reason there are a number of people that just attached my email address, possibly by mistake.

I have a very early gmail address. A very common first name plus two letters. It is almost unusable by now. Invoices, subscriptions, important documents about some persons real estate dealings. They all end up in my inbox.

I have around 20 or 30 google accounts attached where i am the backup email address. Those people forget their passwords or stop using their accounts and i get email notifications about that. No confirmation from my side necessary.

I set up a new address that is less likely to end up with this problem. But migrating away from the old one is not easy…

The extraction prompt would need some hardening against prompt injection, as far as i can tell.

They do show me “how satisfied are you with claude code today?” regularly, which can be seen as a hint. I did opt out of helping to improve claude after all.

Wow. I didn’t know about this.

You need to be 16 to drink beer or wine, so you will be able to do both at the same age.

It is my impression that topics like this one trend up more often today, then they used to a couple of years ago. I guess hacker news is changing over time.

I know it’s a technicality, but the wave is at the very beginning of the park. Not the middle. I can very much recommend walking at least until the lake, if you happen to be visiting Munich. That would be about 1 third of the park.

I wonder how it interacts with life expectancy.

There is a huge difference between Mississippi and the UK: 78.6 years for males and 82.6 years for females in the UK in 2020 to 2022. 68.6 years for males and 75.2 years for females in Mississippi in 2020 and 67.7 years for makes and 74.3 years for females in Mississippi in 2021. Might go up a bit if you have 2022 numbers, but the difference is huge.

The imperative install is as many lines of code as the flake itself. That’s what’s bothering me. But a meta package would be a step in the right direction.

Thank you!

How do you do the initial setup? I'm concerned with anything that happens before activating the dev shell.

Right now I wrote a bash script to check for nix, direnv, git, gpg, etc. But it feels a bit clumsy, compared to the flake that contains the dev shell.

For my own system I set up home manager. But I don't want to make the use of home manager a requirement, as it can be quite opinionated. (e.g. setting up direnv will be done by generating a .zshrc, which can be limiting to some)

I actually have a Taula 2 and a Xone 92 at home. I prefer the Taula 2, due to the simplicity and the fact that it has an isolator. The Xone 92 has a four band IQ and a filter, which I like a lot, but I have the impression that all the bells and whistles take a toll on the quality. At least in a home listening setup.

Anyways, it’s not the knobs that make the sound…

How do you bypass the paywall with it? I can only read the “newspaper version” on their site it seems.

Edit: Just read your comment again. I assume that’s exactly what you meant.

I just checked and the Berlin public library offers press reader as well. Will need to check that out.

Thanks for the tip!

What do you consider the start date of global warming?

This is quite interesting. I'd be interested in more information on this.

My absolute top would be Nicolas Jaar.

I managed to remove activation lock by proving that I was the original owner (invoice) of the MacBook.

Was that no option?

All types of documents go into a paperless ngx. All documents are tagged properly so that I can find them again. Also the search worked quite well so far. I’m still archiving the previous years currently, as I set up everything this year.

Backups via restic end up on backblaze. Haven’t gotten around to set up the local backup. This is a good reminder to do so. :)

The photos end up in iCloud and Adobe with a backup in backblaze. Not so happy yet with this solution. But most alternatives I tried weren’t as comfortable.

Edit: The paperless ngx server is a low power machine that runs in my local network.

Not sure if it is still current, but Louis Vuitton has a past: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/jun/17/revealed-th...

If you’re required to accept license agreements to be able to use the device and those agreements restrict you in how you use it, then I see this as a restriction to your ownership. Especially if the terms are opaque and not clearly communicated before the purchase.

Based on my experiments GPT4 can often correct itself when the mistake is pointed out. This won't lead to the desired result there.

I’d guess the contracts have a no compete clause.

Thanks that seems like a great starting point!

I never cared much about twitter. But I’d be very happy to get a couple of good tech profiles on Mastodon recommended. :)

I'm on the other side, only having a pair of MK7 here. They seem to be super stable, but I guess only time will tell if they also last for that long.

The MK7s are supposedly (e.g. the bottom of the player - didn't verify myself) built from slightly cheaper materials than the MK2. On the other hand they're new and they have a very solid build. Also they have proper cabling and ports on the player, which some older 1200s were lacking. I got two of them and really like them.

That one should be a Super OEM and therefore similar to the others.
