@blindndangerous @BorrisInABox @Jage Wow.

@svenja @yatil @Marco Honestly I think the mechanical watch stuff is fascinating.

@yatil @svenja @Marco Like I said there's no right or wrong way to do this. Not showering with the watch is cool too and sometimes I'll do that if I want some time away from the phone or something like that.

@sarajw @svenja @Marco Does the 9 count as a new model that's dive certified? Or is that just the 10 and above.

@blindndangerous @BorrisInABox @Jage Basically yes. Except where people usually realize you use Google Translate when you need a rough idea of something but it's not reliable, with AI coding they go "Yay let's use this in the work codebase!" which is a bad idea.

@yatil @svenja @Marco Wow thanks for all this info!

@BorrisInABox @Jage Actually the code use case for these models is one of the worst use cases, because the result is code the user doesn't understand and which is often problematic from a security standpoint. It's copypasta on steroids which is causing actual problems for things like FLOSS projects.

@Marco I don't think there's a right or wrong way to do this. I went a couple years without the watch, and then started. As long as you turn on water lock, and then turn it off again when you're done, you're good.

This is probably the most practical way for Apple or anyone else to grapple with the problems involved with this specific use of generative models, and also, cue the contrarians complaining that Apple is violating their free speech rights and/or being too woke or whatever because you know it's coming.

We shower with our Apple Watches all the time.

Stealing this.

We're not going to talk about what's in my Spotify and Apple libraries they're all over the place.

Hoping you find your birth certificate, but also seconding Bruce that it can definitely be replaced without consequences, and also hoping you're able to have a less anxiety-filled day.

Definitely keeping you two in my prayers, for both a speedy recovery for your wife and the patience to advocate without it becoming exhausting for you.

Like I don't know, maybe start with asking the question: "Would you like someone to help your class find out how much waste they can prevent" and then letting everyone involved know that "we need to go through your trash to do this" and um I just thought of the privacy implications and this just got a whole lot creapier.

@quanin Yes but surely there's a better way to do this than sending students around to inspect your trash?

From where I'm sitting, the idea of someone going through your trash and then presumably telling you what in their opinion you're wasting and what you could do better, all without your actually asking for this advice. And then there's just a random stranger going through your trash.

This is incredibly messed up.

Mmmm pumpkin pecan muffins.

@technocounselor Oh yes I remember the bad that is paratransit, which is apparently amazingly global. Do not miss those days.
