@npub1src…fms4 Is it prompted in such a way to return page numbers or otherwise the real text? Couldn't find myself ever trusting the LLM to generate reliable answers but I don't mind so much using something like MS Copilot where it gives citations for everything, which I can quickly check. Similar behavior would be useful with this idea, if it just worked like a crazy advanced index.

@npub1t5m…9guy I tried the same question in the Microsoft Copilot app and it at least got it right, although with a rather long winded response. Also nice: it provided citations.

@npub1utv…87lr @npub1n3v…yvsf Right... I remember now. I also remember chalking up the overall weirdness of the Apple Watch launch to them trying to appeal to two major worlds of interest at once: fashion & tech.
With Vision Pro, the launch feels a lot like iPhone: extremely high (perceived) price, massive shift in consumer expectations, low goals (1% market share), quality focused, with certain weird design decisions (recessed headphone jack on iPhone, external battery on Vision Pro)

@npub1utv…87lr @npub1n3v…yvsf When has Apple ever (or even most recently) had an event for a product (part of WWDC in this case) then had yet another event when it actually became available to buy?

@npub1t5m…9guy best thing I ever did for my family relationship was cut them all off for a few years. I just did not have the time or energy to be constantly gaslit about things. When the channels finally opened up again, it was on my terms and that was made pretty clear and it has been a really healthy relationship ever since. It may have been pure luck but I would've cut them off anyway, had no expectation of things ever being better.

@npub1utv…87lr
My take: I think they're all kinda bad for human use.
- XML is very powerful, but, it’s for machines, only human readable for debugging/last resort
- XML is better than YAML but only because YAML is just so terrible, a stricter YAML variant would easily beat XML
- TOML is better than YAML, but, still has some UX issues as a human-facing tool (mainly confusing syntax)
- JSON has some of the same problems as XML and YAML for human facing use, even worse that it lacks comments

@npub1t5m…9guy I think you're looking at the HDI ranks. Hong Kong has no gender inequality rank on that chart, and US is much worse, at #44 (not that I'm surprised). It's kind of a confusing chart given the way the page is presented with a “Gender Inequality Index" title, but if you look at the column titles in the chart itself…

@npub1t5m…9guy Is this a Harlan Ellison reference?
