at first, but only for 12 parsecs or so . . .

Why is it considered news when someone says something utterly predictable?

Oh I hate the Rufus-suggested questions on product reviews so much.

"Is the item easy to use and reliable?"

OpenAI has a piece to the puzzle but Oracle, Microsoft, Amazon etc have the apps so it makes sense partner. But lack of business pull is what makes ChatGPT good. Amazon made Alexa into a joke because it was driven solely by Amazon's business interests. Right now I pay OpenAI directly and it connects me straight to answers without having to go into the mess the Web has become (unless I want to check by clicking the links it gives as source), and I hope this remains an option.

On top of Covid, I am glad to see the decrease in drug overdoses:

Drug overdoses, one of the leading causes of injury deaths among adults, fell 26% in 2024 from 2023, marking its largest percentage decline since the drop began in 2022. Rates of drug overdose deaths declined for all age groups, with the largest falls in younger age groups. According to CDC data, deaths involving synthetic opioids such as fentanyl showed the largest decrease.

I don't remember reading anything that would have prompted me to expect that.

So don't read it, stay in your ignorance.

Is it though?

In any case my point was simply that there already are government programs that support people long-term. How to do it is not unknown.

Which is called disability and also exists.

In any case, nobody is starving to death so that is a de factor guaranteed minimum income.

What annoys me is I take all the time to do all those kinds of settings and they get wiped out at the next forced upgrade anyways!

That's like claiming you can still do SQL injection on parameterized SQL queries if you just do "a bit more work".

Knowing Apple, they will try as hard as they can to ruin the francise and piss all over the books. As a result, it would be better if they adapted bad books.

Back then everybody was on Windows 7. The Windows 8 users upgraded immediately.

Maybe you can tell me how to never, ever see anything about Samsung Bixby on my phone again.

The Foundation TV series has been a lot of fun but I just can't shake how very much it is NOT ASIMOV'S FOUNDATION. Not even a little bit. It's fine that they didn't want to tell the Foundation story. Honestly, I'm not sure it would make good TV in a faithful adaptation. But... why set yourself up for failure like that? It's not like the majority of the people watching it are 1940s era Sci Fi fans.

And just to head you off: no, you can't "tag it yourself". Tags are denoted by special tokens. The tokenizer does not convert any supplied text into these tokens.
