I last tried Ubuntu as a daily driver in 2009. How has Linux reliability improved for consumers since then?

It might have been that the OP wanted to try for themselves using an app or some source code.

I check prices on my reciepts. I shop at Costco, Walmart, 99 Ranch, Sprouts, and Trader Joe's.

I'm fairly certain the error rate for all those shops is less than 5%.

Same as any other ad supported services- the service is useful or entertaining.

Provenance matters because LLM writing is cheap compared to actually having to think about what to say.

I only have a limited amount of time to read. Skipping someone's Internet comment because it looks like spam often means I get to engage with something else.

Not sure about internationalization but at least for English, constraining to ASCII characters seems like a simple solution.

There's an interesting paper on how to sandbox that came out recently.

Summary here: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Apr/11/camel/

TLDR: Have two LLMs, one privileged and quarantined. Generate Python code with the privileged one. Check code with a custom interpreter to enforce security requirements.

Unless I'm missing something, the opt-out is one click away. I don't understand the problem.

Airalo works well on my iPhone for travel. I had super fast data in Europe (including UK), Japan, Mexico.

IIRC the rates are not competitive compared to local plans though, so not sure if it's worth it for you.

Plenty of AI models cite their sources.

I'm skipping 2 hours of ads per month for $15. IMO it's a pretty good deal.

(Assumptions: I watch 10 hours of YouTube videos per week, YouTube shows 30 seconds of ads per 10 minutes of video)

They are also in a race to the bottom.

Some booking sites will have an option to show prices after all fees, but it will never be on by default.
