Is ChatGPT Changing How You're Writing?

No, it's not changing how I write. I don't actually like the long-winded prose these AI agents spit out. I typically end up completely rewriting it, on the rare occasions that I use it at all.

However I do share the OP's affection for the Oxford comma.

Sony still has their 'Open Devices' platform, focusing on Sailfish? They exited the Australian market some years ago, so I haven't seen an Xperia in many years.

Pinephone is all but dead, so the era of open handsets appears at an end.

But Lenovo going above and beyond here might have flow on effects for other projects through documentation.

Comment Re:Libra's suck (Score 1) 54

I've been using Freestyle Libres (2, 3, 3 plus) for several years now. I have fewer connection issues with Libre than I used to have with the Dexcomm. I also find the Libre's adhesive to be superior to that of the Dexcomm - with the latter, I always had to use overpatches to keep them attached..

One thing Dexcomm does have over the Libre is it can be calibrated against a fingerstick. Also, I think right now the Dexcomm is the only one that will directly work with (certain brands of) an insulin pump. I'm not insulin-dependent, so that doesn't impact me.

"If one comes loose it is also useless and has to be replaced" is true of any CGMS, not just the Libre. They rely on a tiny tube that gets inserted just below the skin - it's not practical to re-insert that if it gets pulled out. But I can't say that's been a significant problem for me, at least.

I can sort of see how working on getting bipedal robots moving faster than humans - and doing it well - might provide useful information to robotic companies, given the sort of roles they're developing these robots for.

But I'm not sure what the practical advantages would be in pushing them to cheetah speeds, for instance. At that point, why bother with bipedal versions? There are better, more stable means of locomotion.
