I may have a forgettable life, so I'll make sure to have an unforgettable death.

AI (or what we call AI currently) is definitely capable of making decision it wasn't trained for, it's the whole reason why LLM are so effective, they learned enough patterns about how humans think and react, that they can apply it to other situations.

Now, if you talk about RELIABLY making decisions then I definitely agree with you. They can't even be reliable with stuff they extensively saw in training, when you get out of the "confort zone" the odds of it taking the correct decision drops fast.

But with AI companies trying to get as much data as they can from their workers and from common people, and with the scary new trend of smart glasses (even though I'm a fan of augmented reality as a concept) we will see how things evolve...

While I cannot agree on having to prove your identity online, this is ON PAPER better than what individual governments are doing right now (from what I know, I may be wrong though). I still don't like it and think it's a bad idea in general, but if EU countries are going to implement it in any case, at least it's better to have something that protects your anonymity both ways (the government cannot see and track what your are visiting, and the sites cannot see and track your identity).

BUT, this is in paper. We will have to see the actual implementation.

And I would much rather not have anything like this (but good luck with all the far right parties that are being pushed right now...).

Have a Kindle Paperwhite (1st gen). Have send over USB, through Calibre - software, never used the web one -, books and documents in various formats. Never had an issue.

Yes, because I find hard memorizing a lot of symbols before becoming capable of minimal reading proficiency.

As a person that also lives in northern Italy, and that have a girlfriend with a series on food intolerances, I can confirm with what OP already said. If you are celiac you can find options now days (obviously much more if you live in a city). If you are lactose intolerant you can also find options (Italy is also a place where lots of cheese is consumed, and many recipes involve some kind of cheese or cream). If you are both at the same time, well that's where problem starts appearing.

If by any chance you also got a vegan in the group well it's better to just cook yourself (obviously exaggerating but still your options of places may be very limited).

All this to say: you can find options now (when I was a kid it was unheard of), either with big restaurants/pizzerias that have a double kitchen, or with dedicated places that are fully gluten free.

Silk is cool too, but I draw my linen on cotton

Tried it in the past but ultimately abandoned it, as then release numbers lost all added meaning. I can remember what happened in release 2.0.0 or (kinda) 3.5.0, but what the hell was release 2025.02.15? Why did it break this random function?
