If you are feeling brave

http://atuin.sh adds a database to store history in and a custom app to use for lookup with added modes to help with searching.

Yes indeed, it is very fun to discover this if you don't know it already, it expands your understanding of your shell life immensely, doesn't it?

>A squirrel has been filmed appearing to vape in a London park…

the words "Appearing to" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this tabloid article

It's the Telegraph, garbage media for people who can read.

unemployment and rising inflation make for a convincing force. Gotta provide somehow.

They all feel like they're parts of a single expansive pattern.

i like the exosuit analogy..

if you cant lift something because its heavy, but have an exo suit that will let you lift it... does that make you feel like a fraud?

AI is like that its a tool. you;re still responsible for the use of it and the output of it. you need to understand that if you use that exo suit to hurt someone or use it poorly and damage something/someone.. thats entirely on you. just like a knife in your hand is a tool to prep food or to attack someone. your actions with it are on you.

No need to invent a fictional exosuit. We already have real machines that augment our physical abilities like cars and excavators and such

Anyways, you ever seen the average excavator pilot? They're often very physically unhealthy

I predict the average LLM pilot will be similarly mentally unhealthy

I suspect you're right

I've been actively trying to think of a better way to answer the phone without sounding rude. but without giving up my name or mentally accepting whoever is on the other side (like hello tends to do)

I normally don't answer calls I don't recognize the number to, but if I might be expecting a call and have an inkling it might even possibly be spam, I just answer with a short 'ya?'

Slightly rude, but saying nothing at all is just bizarre to me.

Edit to add: One thing I've done for the last decade or so is use a number from an area code I don't live in. Most of my spam calls come from the same area code, so if I see that I know it's spam or a wrong number.

I clear my throat. Do it loud enough that the other end can tell someone is on the line, so they'll know to start the conversation. It isn't a rude "WHAT" type answer, but it doesn't directly acknowledge the caller, and is not inviting a conversation. Its a common enough act that it's not suspicious nor weird to hear during a conversation, and therefore its not off-putting if extended family or clients called from an unknown number.

It doesn't share my voice (for fingerprinting, demographic leak, etc, smh).

Also works as a bot filter - Humans tend to start with a "hello..?" because they're not sure anyone is there, while robots use the non-zero audio as a signal to start talking with full confidence.

Answer it as if somebody had knocked on your front door: "who is it?"

> mentally accepting whoever is on the other side (like hello tends to do)

I don’t get that. How is answering the phone mentally accepting the caller? What does it even mean to mentally accept? Is it that you don’t want to talk? Then let it go to voicemail and decide if you want to call back or not? I think I’m missing the point.

all of this is assuming the US and israel will LET this new bypass go unhindered.

I just gave up. its not worth it.

I have my wife, my kids and some people i work with. I dont care any more.

thats just being overly dramatic.

no one has taken X11 away. and its not like X11 was making great leaps forward like Wayland has.
