This is not the case, but I do still disagree with the “trust me bro” approach to a feature rollout that does send data your somewhere, encrypted or not.

Edit: For those interested, the reason it's not the same as a backdoor is that the result of the computation done on HE data is itself still encrypted and readable only by the original owner. So you can effectively offload the work of a certain analysis to a server that you don't actually trust with your keys.

Homomorphic encryption, which allows for analyzing secret data without a decryption step, is actually incredibly cool. It’s a shame the conversation will begin with the fact that they deployed the feature as on by default.

Wait not like that

I just bought and restored some older but well-built deck furniture. Each piece had a badge on it with a company name and URL, but the site is long gone. Popped it into the wayback machine and instantly learned all about the furniture, its maker, and how much it cost back in the day, which was really neat.

Was fully prepared for the answer to this to be that a couple extra molecules evaporating don’t make a big difference, but:

Under the optimum conditions of color, angle, and polarization, Lv says, “the evaporation rate is four times the thermal limit.”

That sounds legitimately exciting!

A way that I find helpful to answer questions like this is to look backwards when taking multiple doses:

“If I were to take another pill now, would I have had no more than 1-2 pills in the last 4 hours?”

The pharmacokinetic questions are outside the scope of what the patient should be trying to figure out when taking a drug. That was the responsibility of the drug label writer and (if applicable) the prescribing physician and/or pharmacist. Yours is to faithfully follow the instructions, not make assumptions about drug residence time or loading doses.

It’s an old trope, but still bugs me: Ordering food and leaving the table long before it could have arrived.

If you wanted to have a 5 second conversation, meet under a lamppost or something, not at a fucking diner!

Throughout the trial, the Grenons represented themselves but did not speak in their defense, seemingly as a form of protest. They had court-appointed defense attorneys who stood by during the trial, but the Grenons did not allow them to speak for them.

In July, it took a Miami jury just 30 minutes to return the guilty verdicts for the four men, according to the Miami Herald.

The Herald reported that the men broke their silence during sentencing last week to plead for mercy and protest their prison terms.

Didn’t work out like ya hoped, huh?

So, only about a decade until reaching feature parity with something like lazygit?

Yes, join us!

Why do people keep asking language models to do math?

While David Bowie was not non-binary, he was an icon of androgyny and I’ve found that to sometimes be a good place to start discussions about the vast in-between spaces. It also helps keep the conversation from starting with “kids these days” because Bowie has been fly as fuck since way back when.
