I am in same camp.

I recently read the book Meditations for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman.

Resonates a lot with my experience and struggle with trying to stay productive.

I may not have learnt any new skills from this book but at least feel a tad bit more at peace with things as they as and as they unfold.

In casual usage they feel like two separate concepts to me.

I think of it this way:

We put iron grills on our apartment balconies.

1. For SAFETY -- prevents the risk of people and kids falling off balconies.

2. For SECURITY -- prevents any intruder from being able to get into the house through balcony.

I am not sure these are accurate though as English is not my first language.

Both of those concepts translate to "veiligheid" in Dutch.

Tsja, zekerheid is a cognate for security. "Zeker" from Latin "Sēcūrus".

I've never heard anyone use the word "zekerheid" when talking about security. Verzekering, zekering, zekeren. Sure, but those are all pretty ___domain specific. No one hires a "zekerheidsagent" to secure their building, or an expert in "cyber zekerheid".

Ik ben daar ... vrij zeker van.

"You ... autocomplete me."

Could be a good subtitle for the blog post?

Tried Andrej Karpathy's latest video -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xTGNNLPyMI

It said "too long video"

Exactly, duh ;D

I saw that too. I'm able to use Eightify for longer videos https://eightify.app/

So the solution is to pre-scrape all bitly URL expansions by brute force and seed the torrent so that someone else can build a librebit.ly ?

And then insert ads in your service to cover expenses. It's imgur all over again.

New Threads Are Public [Enabled By Default]

The first one seems problematic -- does it mean what it seems to suggest? all conversations are "public" ?? Do users know this going in? i am afraid they could be pasting lot of private or confidential stuff without realizing this.

How is this available for free without sign-up?

Does it not cost a ton to run this service amd maintain the infra?

So each country is now free to engage in this zero value games and cry foul when big tech doesn't heed or update quickly enough?

It's great because it gives politicians a foreign enemy to deride, generates lots of online engagement, doesn't impact people's lives in any meaningful way, and when it's implemented, it's only visible to people in the country ordering the rename.

Canada sees "Gulf of Mexico (Golf of America)" in both Apple and Google maps.

They always have been.

Falklands vs Malvinas, Bodensee vs Lake Konstanz, Lake Geneva vs Lac Léman, countless islands in South China, Sea (Philippines vs Chinese names), Japan vs Korean island names, Chine vs Russian names

and on and on.

Only uninformed people are surprised by this.

This is still a rather radical departure from the usual way USA handles these type of things....

"Apple Intelligence" meant whatever Apple marketing wants it to be.

Now "GPT 5" is also a marketing term. You are paying for the abstracted experience and brand. Not a specific model or defined capabilities anymore.

Seems like an apples to oranges comparison (pun not intended). The term Apple Intelligence was introduced for the new service/product. GPT<n> has a history of standing for something (a specific model).

Author Oliver Burkeman discusses this marshmallow test in his book Meditations for Mortals.

Paraphrasing from memory -

Who is to say that stockpiling as many marshmallows as you can is inherently more virtuous or objectively more positive than enjoying one marshmallow in the moment you and the marshmallow are ready for each other.

"Now" is the one moment you are truly alive. Rest is a concept.
