Yeah it’s not bad for young and healthy people who can stay inside, be relatively inactive, drink enough, etc…
As always climate change hits the weak first: Old people, people with certain disabilities, homeless people, people who have to work physically during the heat are at higher risk to suffer from the heat.
That’s kinda the core of self-hosting, isn’t it? We are taking back digital sovereignty but giving our time and mental health to the Machine God.
Huh? Folders are called notebooks in Joplin and when creating a notebook you can select a parent notebook. It was pretty straightforward for me. Maybe this has been added after you tried out Joplin.
My issue with both of them is that they don’t seem to offer hierarchical organization.
Do you mean this? Hierarchical Notebook work perfectly fine in Joplin.
Okay, I get it. So do you propose that we simply don’t trust any company, or do you especially mistrust DDG? If you specifically mistrust DDG, do you have a good alternative?
If you mistrust companies in general: I get where you’re coming from, but I also think it’s highly impractical to distrust basically everyone on the Internet because you have to use their services at some point.
I wouldn’t use DDG’s Android app, though, because it doesn’t block Microsoft trackers. Now we can debate whether this means the app doesn’t block MS trackers on MS websites or if it allows tracking on its own website (which would contradict the claim I cited above).
I’m not sure if I correctly get your point: DDG provides search results based on Bing and has advertisment contracts with MS but DDG in itself doesn’t track you:
From DDGs FAQ:
We partner with many different information sources to deliver DuckDuckGo Search (e.g., Microsoft for ads, Apple for maps, etc.). When you view search results (including ads), your searches cannot be tied back to you, either by us or our partners. How this works technically is we do not store any personal identifiers (e.g., IP address) with your search terms, and we also proxy all requests to partners through us.
Switching from a search engine that heavily tracks you to a search engine that doesn’t is a privacy win.
No, they’re not, but they are one of the better-known alternatives to Google, and they do advocate privacy. This, in itself, is a good thing and should be promoted.
The problem is that Google’s monopoly on web search is so large that using Google is the de facto standard for the vast majority of people. Getting them to acknowledge that there are alternatives to Google benefits privacy on the internet more than DDG having contracts with MS harms it.
No, what they meant is: The control group had 12 questions to get into the flow of solving math problems and then solved three more math problems for good measure.
The AI group on the other hand got into the flow of formulating math problems to ChatGPT and then had to actually solve three math problems themselves
Their critique is, that solving math problems yourself and prompting ChatGPT to solve math problems are not necessarily comparable tasks and require different skill sets so disabling AI after 12 tasks meant the first group had to switch context and therefore had worse performance.
If you want to analyze the first groups general ability of problem solving you should give them again twelve tasks after disabling AI so they get used to this new type of task (solving math problems yourself vs. prompting math problems to the AI) before measuring their performance.
But what you’re describing is not that uncommon, even without AI: Oftentimes when trying to solve a complex problem and being unsuccessful you have to reset your brain by doing something fundamentally different or have a good night of sleep and after that you solve the problem easily.
May what you’re experiencing is not AI related at all.
Yes and it’s not like there a no privately owned companies in China.
Because at this point the only ones profiting from automation are the capitalists.
if I do [like ads read out by the podcast host], I skip ahead.
That’s what Sponsorblock is for. :)
