But wouldn't it be better if they chose to obfuscate it. Are there any inherent disadvantage in doing so?

Ts ts ts. Not metric enough.

 

Is this behavior expected? I would imagine it would be a privacy violation in a multi-user system. I thought they had some sort of encryption for hiding the sites that I visit.

BTW, FF does not do this on private mode. But still it is concerning, that any program can know about the sites I visit just by looking at ~/.mozilla/profile/storage/default.

HeliBoard in amoled HeliBoard. Available on fdroid. Also has dictionary support.

Meme or not, but it surely got me uneasy how people behave when they know they are just about to die.

ZorinOS used to send anonymous pings and the user did not had the option to opt out. https://zorin.com/legal/privacy/before-31-may-2018/ Seems now its an opt in service.

There were talks on making people opt out automatically if they don't give consent for continuing the messages.

Tried it when I was starting out. But I may have read somewhere that it uses telemetry. So uninstalled later.

No. Lenovo is really good. Try buying on Black Friday or Christmas, they usually have offers. Also Lenovo has 'Build your own spec' kind thing for all their models. These are even cheaper. Also if you're buying through their website, try staying in their cart page before checkout for about 5 mins, sometimes they will give you a small discount coupon, fearing you're indecisive.

 

Look, I don't believe that an AGI is possible or atleast within the next few decade. But I was thinking about, if one came to be, how can we differentiate it from a Large Language Model (LLM) that has read every book ever written by humans?

Such an LLM would have the "knowledge" of almost every human emotions, morals, and can even infer from the past if the situations are slightly changed. Also such LLM would be backed by pretty powerful infrastructure, so hallucinations might be eliminated and can handle different context at a single time.

One might say, it also has to have emotions to be considered an AGI and that's a valid one. But an LLM is capable of putting on a facade at-least in a conversation. So we might have to hard time reading if the emotions are genuine or just some texts churned out by some rules and algorithms.

In a pure TEXTUAL context, I feel it would be hard to tell them apart. What are your thoughts on this? BTW this is a shower-thought, so I might be wrong.

 

Do you prefer to work alone or to work in a group? Be it in-office or remote. Guided works should not be included as it involves at least 2 people.
And also on an interesting note, how much AI has replaced your work buddy?
