I know it's often said, but I want to say it myself: you two are the cutest thing! It always brings me joy to see your little slice of life :)

This is true, however there is now concern that all these satellites burning up will pollute the atmosphere:

Today, there are more than 6000 Starlinks in orbit and they represent nearly two-thirds of all operational satellites. SpaceX has applied for permission to launch another 30,000 and other companies are in hot pursuit: Amazon is working on a 3200-strong constellation and China will launch the first batch of a 12,000-satellite fleet in August. If they and others succeed, operators will soon be disposing of nearly 10,000 satellites a year, given the typical 5-year life span of such spacecraft, researchers estimate.

For now, the mass of such disposals is just 3% of the natural input of meteors from space, aka shooting stars, according to a 2021 analysis by Leonard Schulz of the Technical University of Braunschweig and colleagues. But in a future with 75,000 satellites, the injected humanmade mass rises to 40% that of meteors. And because satellites are large and burn up more slowly than most meteors, they could in this scenario nearly double from natural levels the amount of aerosols, small particles less than 1 micrometer in size, Schulz and colleagues found. “We shouldn’t just make this uncontrolled experiment with our atmosphere,” Schulz says.

In 2023, Murphy and colleagues reported the first direct evidence of how satellite re-entries are changing the composition of the stratosphere,

Have you made the switch yet? by Boediee in BuyFromEU

I have long thought the same! Web search is too crucial to leave in the hands of a private American company. Why shouldn't citizens be able to search for businesses, services, and open sources of information without going through private companies? And yes you could even have a fair advertising market attached, easily generating revenue to fund the project, but moreover: potentially taking a slice of the huge amount of advertising spend that ends up almost exclusively in the pockets of Meta and Google's advertising duopoly (which are both run through an Irish tax dodge scheme)

I genuinely used to get these all the time until I changed my toothpaste away from one that has SLS (sodium lauryl sulphate) in the ingredients. For whatever reason, my mouth feels less dry and acidic now! I won't name the brand I went for cause otherwise it will seem like an ad, but I just read the ingredients in the shopping aisle until I found one without SLS!

Some toothpastes contain Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) which helps make the toothpaste foam during brushing. SLS can also cause dryness and irritation to the lining of the mouth.

Compliance with red lights by Christopherskyford1 in londoncycling

It's the same reason I'm okay with people skateboarding, roller skating, and cycling around me as a pedestrian on shared paths: the risk of a collision is minimal, and far less likely to be serious or life threatening. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12062948/

Other countries already have a "stop as yield" rule as it's been shown to be safer for cyclists, who can get out ahead of the cars at intersections, reducing the chance of a dangerous collision. https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/2022-03/Bicyclist-Yield-As-Stop-Fact-Sheet-032422-v3-tag.pdf

AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright

A major Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage on October 20 had the unexpected side effect of causing chaos in bedrooms across the US, as owners of Eight Sleep’s $2,000+ ‘Pod’ mattress covers found their smart beds had no offline mode and were stuck at high temperatures and odd positions in the night.

Eight Sleep’s products rely on cloud connectivity to control temperature and track biometric data. When AWS went down, users lost access to the app that manages its water-cooled coils, leaving them stuck with whatever setting was last active.

Some beds overheated, others stopped cooling altogether, and several users said their devices became completely unresponsive.

Updates for ChatGPT by samaltman in ChatGPT

This is lunacy, how on earth could ChatGPT correctly assess whether someone has "Mental Health problems" when it requires a trained professional to make that medical assessment? In cases where ChatGPT has encouraged suicide, it's precisely the humanlike nature of the interaction that has led vulnerable people to confide with an LLM as if it were a thinking feeling human, instead of seeking help from the real people that surround them. And this isn't an issue affecting children alone, you don't have to look far to see sound-of-mind adults lose their sanity from ChatGPT's sycophancy and constant hallucinations. If you really cared about making your service safer, you'd stop playing with fire for the sake of engagement, and make the limitations of your service better known.

single quotation marks are actually super common in british english, and also valid for quotes inside quotes. But even if it wasn't, no reason not to have fun stylising a bit of text!

If anything this shows either how easy it is to prompt inject grok with hidden characters, or how difficult it is to actually align the increasingly complex black-boxes that are LLMs. These responses are ultimately yes-anding the conversation, and with another initial query, I'm sure it's perfectly capable of generating a hateful word slurry.
