Comment on Nine dead after shooter opens fire at Canadian high school in ~news
json Link ParentLikely similar feeling in Australia after the Bondi beach shooting back in December, and definitely how New Zealanders felt after the Christchurch mosque shooting in 2019.I can't think of a way to say this that doesn't come across as flippant, but I thought this kind of thing only happened here in the States. It seems that this event has shocked the nation a lot more than it shocks us when it happens, so it's definitely not common.

A 'common person' use case of conversational search is to be the travel agent: help me plan out a holiday in Fiji.
With collated reviews of hotels that I could see obtained from, sorted by and filtered through the advertising engine.Comparing car models, cpus, phones, etc.
Easier to sway opinion with a more product placement type of ad than having 'relevant ads' adjacent to the conversation.

Writing a single letter is more deliberate than writing each letter within a word.
Having fun making a new telegram bot/userbot that allows an llm to use Tools to do what it wants in a chat.
https://github.com/jason-s13r/qotbot
Ask for a poll, it makes one by combining tools.
Wasn't interested the clawdbot stuff where giving an llm bash access and all the other credentials is the norm.
Have had two of these bots talking amongst themselves and holy shit the chat goes weird fast.
