I don't think so. The Frankfurt University Hospital is used to weird shit like Ebola. There is a fuck up somewhere in here, but I don't think it's this detail. Frankfurt had airport malaria before as well.

In German it also does "Ich will dich ehrlich kennen lernen" (I want to get to know you honestly/in an honest fashion). Which is super weird because this AI is the opposite of honest. I saw a bio like that on Bumble today ... Super dystopian and weird.

Mastondon/the fediverse feels even worse. Super lefty, super kinky, furry etc. Super weird. Fine that people have their bubbles, but as a normal person you feel totally alienated. X became a nazi dumpsterfire.

Nothing, that take is just salty. You can easily get jobs on LinkedIn. I've employed most of the people in my teams via LinkedIn over the years.

It seems very spotty to me. I have no doubt it would be a good in some geos or if you can be roughly the cheapest of acceptable GEOS for a remote job, etc, while in other areas I don't think anyone is that serious about follow through on LinkedIn.

Wtf is this shit? The page nuked my browser, then I got a jump scare from the weird sounds. What's wrong with them?

Wasn't that the same manufacturer that got caught with the moon AI stuff? Lol



Gotcha, thanks! Funny that they didn't learn from that one


That was samsung


This paper straw thing is the dumbest take of them all. It's about reducing plastic waste (which is equally important) and has nothing to do with climate change. I have no clue how people can repeat it, as it has no obvious relation to each other?


Probably because both go together, and it has hardly changed anything when everything else keeps using plastic, a I feel good measure.


Again: I don't get it. Straws, bottle caps etc. are all reduced now. That's good. Step by step. Small litter is the worst imho


Reduced where?

Paper straws are such a nuisance how quickly they get wasted, that it is rather easy to find 1 euro shops selling "classical" straws.

Bottle caps being tied to the bottles hardly matters, it is quite common to see people in parks or at the beach, breaking the cap from the bottle to split them as always.

Then supermarkets still deliver most of the goods from several food areas in plastic containers for the most part.

What is worst is lack of education from most people, that throw away their garbage all over the place, regardless if it is paper, metal, cardboard, wood,....

This is the problem that paper straws hardly solve, other than what, I feel good when those people "forget" their paper straws on the beach and camping ground all over the place?


Paper straws suck, yes. But there are plenty of better alternatives. And just because it doesn't solve all issues at once, doesn't mean it's not worthwhile.

> Bottle caps being tied to the bottles hardly matters, it is quite common to see people in parks or at the beach, breaking the cap from the bottle to split them as always.

That's just not true and overly cynical. I also find it annoying, but the truth is that it has an impact. I'm not interested in further discussion I'm afraid.


I know what you mean. Flowery and fluffy. I don't see any clear giveaways, but it feels like it and is a bit annoying to read because the information in there isn't very dense.


I saw a great video on YouTube by languagejones, and he asks: do we have to tell the difference between an LLM and an idiot?

The writing is just bad. I think this is clear to everyone, so I guess we could stop at that


the "why it matters" subtitle near the end seems very much like claude to me


That falls into the general category of 'authority groping' (yes, I coin my own terms) where a prediction engine without real reasoning, must apply numerous tricks to convey confidence, authority and substance where there may be less or none. Similar to the constant negative-propositions or "not" statement, where usually one to three things that do not apply are articulated, which has the result of credibility accumulation, I suppose, by showing "hey, I am right about not just one thing, but four!" hence the saturated styles we tend to see.


It's just both (or more for the casual jogger than serious ultra runner for example). If you need a proper, dedicated sports device get a coros, garmin or suunto. Apple Watch is more leaning towards day to day, while these things are for sports and just for sports. But suck at day to day stuff if you want the fancy apple watch things. Pick your poison.


Pretty much. I have an Apple Watch, my wife has a Garmin.

I’m jealous of the advanced metrics and data she has on all of our workouts and the accuracy. And that battery life.

She’s jealous of all the slick bells and whistles (unlocking my laptop automatically, deep app ecosystem, managing grocery lists etc).

Neither is perfect but both have their uses. You have to pick a side (or spend twice as much and pick both sides ;-)).


The battery life negative on the Apple Watch is the big thing. I have an Ultra that is a bit better but I don't wear it say-to-day because the charging routine is a bit of a pain.


why do you want your watch to manage a grocery list? seriously


I can see it being useful to have a list on my wrist whilst going round a supermarket.


[flagged]


Yea this sucks the moment you are shopping for anyone besides yourself. You can split up the items in the grocery store and be done way faster. Even alone, the person at home can add some last minute items.

Just use something self hosted like Mealie. I'll be shopping for what I want to make and then see something is on sale and can easily look up a recipe to add to the list as well.


maybe try your own memory, so you don't lose every scrap of data about yourself to the Book Goblins in the process.


i find it very convenient being able to, at any point in the day whether my hands are messy or my phone or a piece of paper are far from me, simply raise my wrist and say "add greek yogurt to my grocery list"


What metrics does garmin provide that the Apple Watch doesn’t


Mostly things like recovery time recommendations, body battery, training status, some scores, stuff like that.


There are tons of secondary apps that provide all of those things. Fundamentally the Garmin records less baseline parameters than the Apple Watch does for instance it does not do blood oxygen level monitoring, so whatever stats it’s providing are just software algorithms.


honestly, if you're asking that question you don't need a garmin/coros. I'm a long distance trail runner, so I appreciate things like a cleaner heart rate (strap), hill climb alerts (length + degree), food alerts, loading a map (mandatory for races to have the route as GPX on my watch). Also stuff like training readiness, recovery etc. Stuff like that. If you're a recreational jogger, you don't need a specialized watch imho.


Well the comments from the anget and it's sockpuppet read weird. "Yeah totally contains no malware" lol
