    Thanks, thats a good arguments. As usual, any world issue is more complex than you think and don't have binary black and white solution.

    Eh. I'm not sure that it make sense.
    For me it looks like the fight against consequences, not against the cause. It's always the most simple solution: ban something. "Stop cyberbullying, let's return to vintage time-honored usual bullying"?

    Like school that unofficially ban using word "bullying" between school employees to "fight bullying".

    I have a kid under 15 and I'm ok with him using phone and laptop. He watch educational and funny mem videos on youtube, speaks with schoolmates in a few instant messangers, and hes ok with me explaining to him what is ok and what is not ok to do on the internet.

    Wikipedia, millions of videos on youtube and other platforms... I don't want my kid to be separated from world even if this world is not a completely safe place.

    I suppose this is technically a truth? By russia definition east part of Ukraine and frontlines belongs to russia.

    Conscripts are expected to serve for a year at a military base inside Russia, not to fight in Ukraine, although there have been reports of conscripted men being sent to the front line.

    ... founder (of Spotify) Daniel Ek investing €600m (£520m) in the military AI company Helsing.

    Helsing said in a statement: “Currently we see misinformation spreading that Helsing’s technology is deployed in war zones other than Ukraine. This is not correct.

    “Our technology is deployed to European countries for deterrence and for defence against the Russian aggression in Ukraine only.”

    I'm wearing glasses all my life, heh. And you made me think, I'm completely ok with reading light text on dark or black background. But somehow using dark mode on desktop feels wrong. Maybe it's inconsistency between dark more implementations across different apps... maybe I should give it a try again.

    I can't stand dark mode in the most apps on a desktop. My current solution is to use not-so bright lamp behind monitor to smooth light contrast in the night/evening. It can be related to astigmatism, I read at least few comments from some people with astigmatism that they also prefer light mode.

    How do you deal with errors/mistakes in a results?

    It irritates me to the no end. LLM works perfectly for simple task, but, usually, simple task is easy to do for me myself. And on most of the more complex tasks LLM starts to imagine things, create small errors, hallucinate things, etc. etc.

    For example - I ask LLM to create document explaining something, it do a very good job, but make like 3-4 mistakes here and there that I caught, and now I have the document where I have to verify each fact manually?

    If you sideload apps, it might affect what apps are available to you after upgrading to a newer version of Android.

    I don't think that's the case, article didn't mention upgrading to newer version of OS, instead

    In March 2026, verification will go live for all developers.

    so, I suppose it will be implemented on a application (Play Store, System Security apps) level.
    And yes, I have few apps that not supported anymore, downloaded from other sources: GitHub, itch.io, etc. etc.

    Yeah, no mention of training, idle spending, infrastructure.

    Another large portion of the energy is used by equipment needed to support AI-specific hardware: The host machine’s CPU and memory account for another 25% of the total energy used.

    Still playing Trackmania (goal is to get max of Silver medals on all of the TOTD). A bit better with tech, not ideal, but I feel like drifting is "clicked" for me. Still struggling with ice.

    Started playing gacha game Grimlight on Android. Game is officially dead but developers decided to convert it to free offline version. (Glory, glory to the team!). And I love it! No pressure to complete daily tasks, no IAPs, no way to miss content. Grinding is tolerable, and I just love it that I can play it the way I like - again, no pressure, no way to miss anything.

    Also playing Stellar Blade. Game is beautiful, combat is smooth and I honestly love it. Currently slowly finishing the game and I think I will try NG+ after that.
