    I do something very similar, for the paste they should have it in most stores but it can get quite confusing with all these paste & sauces.

    I've done mapo tofu a couple of times, I think I've got it now. I also do a chili oil and some veggies with it, it's super addictive.

    I also did the short ribs from fallows, really good and not too hard, although I prepare the meat before serving because it's hard to eat in the place (lots of bones/sinew/fat) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0n2OHlBPcQ

    My windows is 22H2 and IoT LTSC 2021 is 21H2, so I don't think they are identical, but the difference is minor apparently.

    For the upgrade path, as I understand I could upgrade to windows 11 or windows 11 LTSC, bypassing the requirements if needed, but once you transition to Win10 IoT LTSC that not the case anymore. Although it might be possible to use the same registry tricks to go back to 10 and then 11, not sure.

    I'm tempted to do this, but I've read you could run into compatibility issues and that it's a bit of a dead end upgrade wise (I guess fresh install in 2032 wouldn't be too bad...).

    The fleet of ebikes have been significantly increased where I live (upgraded from regular bikes) and they are super fun to ride & practical. It's cheaper than taking the metro and often faster. I'm not comfortable riding outside of dedicated bike lanes though and the coverage it still not perfect. I'm also a bit concerned about security, there's bad drivers and I might even be one... (I don't drive so I have no idea what I'm doing in complicated situations, but I'm generally careful).

    There's also some talks of providing small "no-permit" electric cars on a similar model, that would be a final blow for car-centric cities imo.

    I'll rewatch it maybe, see if the brain-rot angle makes sense.

    None. Memory is off. I can only use what’s in this chat. When memory is on, I could retain facts you choose to store or remove later.

    Exactly, ideally the ID system would also use tokens with limited life time so stolen accounts wouldn't be a huge issue.

    I'm not super convinced that these regulations are in google or others tech giants interest, at least I haven't seen much data to back that up. But personally I'm very much in favor of such regulations; I was looking for some info on youtube earlier and 90% of the content is AI garbage, and that will keep getting worse. That said I'd much prefer a independent agency (maybe at the EU level) providing digital certificates to citizens so that it maintains the same level of privacy we have now.

    Yeah Switzerland & France (big city) so there's not much need for a car, although in France the coverage is a bit shit outside of major cities.

    I think another issue is that you look only at the time taken, but productivity is a ratio of output to input. Output includes both quality and quantity of the thing produced, and input includes labor but also capital, energy used, natural resources, etc.

    Some of the stuff produced by generative AI have very low utility (probably even negative in many cases) but use a lot of capital and energy, so productivity can be very low even if it didn't took much time to produce.

    I think it's also important to take the macro view on these topics, because at a personal level we have this lazyness bias that makes us love anything that reduce the effort we put in.
