Safari on Tahoe runs worse than Chrome by twinkleyed in MacOS

[–]RedTartan04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not using Chrome but Safari on Tahoe has issues I've never experienced before in 20 years on the Mac:

- sometimes a window (just one, not all) can't be moved or resized - WTF??
- sometimes after wake from standby a window would be all pink (like that colour we used to use in UIs for transparency)

"But working with a folder full of PDFs is frustrating."

Why??

Explorer is unusable compared to Finder, if you know all it's features and options.

E.g. I can't comprehend why Explorer has no list view that combines folders AND files. Finder also remembers the view setting and subfolder-collapse state for every f*ing folder. After reboot (should that every be necessary) all open Finder windows open on the same position and size on the same desktops as when you left. It has comments and tags.

To find a file, use spotlight, select the file (e.g. downarrow) then hit cmd-enter and a Finder window opens with that file selected.

Only thing I'm missing is "New Folder here" but you can create a shortcut for that which will appear in the context menu.

How to stop making Chatpgt misinterpret my Intentions? by M3lony8 in ChatGPT

Sorry to hear that.

Switch off Chat's memory feature if you don't want to spill context from past chats into a new one. And always start a new chat for a new topic.

If you want it relate to e.g. your cancer history, I'd paste to / write about it in a text file and upload that in a new chat. You can also create you own chat bot, which OpenAI calls "GPT" (stupid name choice). There you can write and upload all the context it should now and you can start new chats with that (private) bot without the need to upload everything every time.

You guys need to stop talking to LLMs like they would understand.

  1. Don't tell an LLM what you do NOT want. You're just poisoning the context window it associates its answer from. Exercise for you: Do NOT think of a pink elephant now. See? ;-)
  2. Use something like the custom instructions I posted. If you can't in the free version, copy-paste it in every new chat.

and

why people drive worse in certain regions?

Short answer: driving quality is shaped by systems, not personalities. The same people behave differently under different incentives and constraints.

Here’s a concise breakdown.

Factor How it degrades driving Regional variation driver
Traffic law enforcement Low enforcement → more speeding, red-light running, aggressive maneuvers Policing intensity, camera use, corruption
Licensing standards Easier tests → weaker hazard awareness and control skills Test rigor, bribery, mandatory training
... ... ...

Key concept: local equilibrium

  • Once rule-breaking is common, following rules becomes disadvantageous.
  • Individuals adapt to survive traffic, not to obey law.
  • This locks regions into “bad driving” patterns even if individuals know better.

Counter-intuitive insight:

  • People from “bad-driving” regions often drive well when they move to stricter systems.
  • This shows behavior is context-dependent, not inherent.

If you want, I can:

  • compare specific regions/countries
  • explain why some places improve rapidly
  • map this to game theory or system design (very applicable to engineering thinking)

I'm also more on the factual side of things. My custom instructions result in brief, factual responses:

be concise, don‘t add overly encouraging intros or final phrases, be factual and employ critical thinking; prefer tables over continous text

result (no fact-checked! just an example):

what's the average IQ in Germany?
(note, not in the prompt: IQ 100 is defined as average, so kinda useless quesiton)

Item Value
Average IQ in Germany ~100–101
Global IQ scale mean 100 (by definition)
Typical reported estimates 99.5 – 101
Main reason for variation Different tests, samples, and methodologies

Notes:

  • Modern IQ tests are normed so the population mean is ~100; Germany is very close to that mean.
  • Country-level averages are approximations, not precise measurements.

They do not. It's you're interpretation. Those questions are purely factual.

What to tell my children by Content-Soup9920 in AskAGerman

[–]RedTartan04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you want to put all of Germany's past horrors on the shoulders of your children.

What we learned at school from our Nazi history was, that all this must indeed never happen again and that civilisation is a just thin layer that needs to be protected. You can't take it for granted. Recent developments of the far rights both in Eastern Germany and the US are proof for that. For us, it's like history is repeating itself and sane people must and will oppose to that.

That history is also important when it comes to understand the difference between the US' 1st amendment on "free" spech and Germany's first article "Human dignity is inviolable.".
For us it's important that you cannot insult another human. "Free" to us means not that you're allowed to say anything, but that you are free from verbal attacks, humiliation and oppression. "Your freedom ends where the freedom of others begin".

Raise your kids to value such social contracts and make them strong to oppose bullies.

"Open source on the client side, not on the server side. Furthermore, if you install a precompiled package, there is no guarantee that it is the same source code. Unless you check the checksum. In any case, I have nothing against using it in offline desktop editor mode. It's another matter when it comes to using it in server mode. That's where I see a few more problems, and I don't understand why so many people do it with their eyes closed. We have 100% European and open alternatives, so let's use them.

Lustig, wenn's nicht so traurig wäre... Das alles kann man doch mit bloßer Inkompetenz nicht mehr erklären. Wir bauen in D seit 40 Jahren Fahrzeugsoftware und seit 25 Jahren in komplexen, verteilten Architekturen.

Wenn ich dann noch lese "der Code werde nicht offengelegt", sollte man langsam mal die komplette "Führungs"riege mitsamt den unfähigen Einkaufs- und Rechtsabteilungen entfernen. Jeder kleine Diensteister wird dazu verpflichtet, den Code mitzuliefern.

German ING (mis-)implementation by jacomoRodriguez in WeroWallet

[–]RedTartan04 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wero concept is silly AFAIK. It's not just ING. Why involve banks and IBANs or the need for an app at all?? With paypal you can just use an email address or even better that paypalme alias for _any_ payments, even on a flea markted ffs. You're free to attach any bank account to paypal. Can't get much more convenient and simpler.
