Leap seconds are not added on a regular schedule like leap days, they depend on physical measurements of Earth. So high reliability systems with comprehensive timekeeping would not be perturbed by these choices, I would think.

Unless they have something in the labs that massively departs from their current products, AGI isn't on the table and is purely hype for marketing purposes.

command line shell vs graphical shell. My first experience with a graphical shell was dosshell[1]. For a while we called the Windows 3.1 interface "the shell". I guess the terminology has changed since that time.

Hear, hear!

Mozilla seems to have a string of bad leadership but when compared to Alphabet, I don't see how there can be any choice. Use Firefox or one of the niche privacy focused forks.

My uBlock Origin works perfectly well.

Pull up that ladder behind you, Dario!

To be serious, though. This is all just part of the narrative to make LLMs seem more scary to the public, so they think they are more capable than they actually are.

Going all-in on fringe YouTube channels is not a good strategy if you want to be informed. Sounds like you are in the pipeline. Next stop: Ivermectin shampoo.

> Her patients often panic and beg for help, but none have had the resources to travel to another state for care.

I wish there was more detail on this. I often wonder how someone is able to get themselves to a hospital, but when faced with death, is unable to get themselves to another state. Not any family member with a car? Not a neighbor? Friend? Not even a bus ticket?

The secrets are kept prior to breaking ground. After that everyone knows what it is.

I'm looking forward to the HN story sometime next year about employees being let go for opting out of tracking.

Somehow MS Word's grammar check does this without being offensive about it.

shares a name with the markup language[1] and even though it's in a different category, it's a little close for comfort

Public sentiment has turned strongly against them. They can try to take it back, but I don't think they will be successful. Nobody is buying the fiction anymore. Everyone knows that any proceeds from the technology will not be shared. The ownership class will take everything and leave the ecological impact to be dealt with by the same people they laid off.

Google is better than Duck's backend (Bing or Yahoo, IIRC)

However, I find that most of my queries don't require Google to find the result. Maybe once every couple days I do a search, don't like the results, and then add a "!g". Most of the time it's fine and I get to avoid Google's ecosystem.

Here's an example that may help:

Their prompt: "write a polite and friendly email message to turn down an invitation because I already have plans at that time."

What I want them to send me: "thank you but I already have plans"

I don't want 2-paragraphs of milquetoast slop.

P.S. Ideas can involve people.
