Rapidly iterating one pixel at a time is how we get video. Dead simple and lots of processing is the secret sauce to much of our modern world

In my company we are keeping junior engineers and getting senior engineer level work out of them as they drive the agents. I still have to kick stuff back but I had to do that with senior engineers too

You somehow know the result before looking at the data that experts expect will take months. Have you considered a role in the Trump administration?

This. Humans across virtually every race, religion, and culture have had FEWER CHILDREN once their economy gets to a certain level. We can speculate all day about why but the decline in fertility as a function of economics is simply an observed fact.

Pfft. Morons. It is *super easy* to make predictions.

Accurate ones, however...

Ubiquitous: existing or being everywhere at the same time; constantly encountered.

Yeah, no. Yes, it's present on Apple devices. And admittedly there are about as many iPhones as Windows computers. But that's still half, and it's not the important half where actual work is generally done. It's the half where annoying people take pictures and send them to people that need to jump through hoops to do anything with them.

As I told you clearly, not changing the clock kills MORE people.

So fuck yourself.

If you had any critical thinking skills, you'd realize that my original point applies not only to keeling over, but also to feeling unwell.

More feeble people would suffer throughout the year with either permanent DST or standard time than the current one bad night in March. (Which, BTW, could be totally avoided by planning ahead and adjusting your bedtime a few minutes per day in the preceding week.)

Biology matches DST adjustments more than a fixed clock. Most everyone woke up with the sun from the dawn of humanity until the late 19th century, and adjusting the clock for the seasons stays closer to that.

Then I suggest you never travel east or west by more than a few miles. You seem feeble.

Yeah, it's almost as bad as the level of bellyaching from those who insist we just have to do the stupidity.

You know what's aligned even more with circadian biology?

Keep the current system, get up off your ass, and change your clocks twice per year without whinging like a precious snowflake.

That way you you don't have to deal either with the sun beating down on you while you try to sleep at 4am or with your poor children getting run over in the dark on their way to school.

Sure, a couple of codgers might keel over in march, but they were probably gonna die soon anyway. It's much harder to measure the statistics of all the other people who would die steadily throughout the year due to the aforementioned issues, as well as similar problems caused by a static clock that doesn't adjust at all to when the sun actually rises. However, I would bet good money that it would add up to far more casualties overall.

For some reason, I seem to be in a small minority on this issue, though. It's probably because everybody would rather believe in a solution to the problems of living on a tilted axis that's clear, simple, and wrong.

People don't read a lot of things that they agree to, especially if it's 20,000 words in a postage stamp-sized text box on the new toy they just turned on. However, anybody who's not an idiot realizes that most everything in an agreement that they haven't read is against their interests, and plans accordingly. I personally always look for binding arbitration agreements and make sure to opt out of those whenever possible.

Oddly enough, the Anthropic TOS and privacy policy actually aren't all that obtuse and can be skimmed in a few minutes. They make it clear that they'll be looking for problems with what you upload and what kinds of problems those might be. Like I said, you can easily avoid all that by using a paper notebook for your diary.

Yes, because users understand those kinds of choices.

Too soon!

You're correct and I lack the mod points to surface your insight.

These are effectively concealed or hidden cameras, which is not the same thing, and that's why the described panic is fictional.

That said, I do think this is interesting overall because it's a question of how human society changes based on technology. We have rudimentary technology that taps the optic nerve in experimental stages to help with some types of blindness. Sooner or later that sort of thing will probably become routine and non-invasive. Maybe it's 50 years out, but odds are good - I think - that eventually people will be able to record everything they see and hear. It's just perfect memory plus the ability to share that memory. Well... I wonder how societies will adapt to that. Will people just wear disguises all the time? Will no-tell hotels become the norm? Will we all be so inundated with fake materials that embarrassing real materials won't shame us? Getting there will no doubt be painful, but I do find it interesting to ponder.

If you look at Anthropic's terms of service and privacy policy, it clearly states that they can look at your content in order to enforce their usage policy. You have to agree to this when you set up an account or use their service. Given that this is an AI company, you can bet your content will be screened for violations more efficiently than if humans were involved at every step.

If she really didn't mean for anyone else to view it, she would have scribbled it down in a notebook instead of uploading into a cloud owned and policed by strangers and their robots.
