Might be because obsessively tinkering while high is much more pleasant than obsessively sitting still with your thoughts while high.

There is not only someone who collect things that suck, but also someone who collect things that blow.

Thats a ~~US'~~ British companies brand identity, might say something about US-ans that they make a profit this way but might also not say anything about people from the usa.

Edit: Numatic the name of said company and it is from England. Interesting fact as a bonus:

The company was founded on 9 September 1963, and as of 2024 is owned solely by Chairman and Founder Chris Duncan, who created the compact shape for the cleaner. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numatic_International

It will generate a new answer in every new chat, it has no knowledge of itself. You can also easily manipulate what it answers by framing your question, if you ask 'where is the i in strawberry' or 'why do you spell strawberry with a single i' it will spit out something much more wrong than when you ask it 'is there an i in strawberry'. This is increasingly true for complicated questions like 'i am about to get fired because i don't spell strawberry right, what can i do to perform better at driving a taxi for my employer who is an accountant tied up in a scandal', but because there usually aren't contradictions in a question the AI isn't seen as dumb and unintelligent but as wise and all knowing. But again, it doesn't know anything it just puts words that statistically fit well together next to each other - which can be really useful if you understand its limits.

What is on my list of researching at some point in the near future is a to go cup from the EU. I have been using a keepcup for ages and while it still does it's job it's made from plastic and I have been a lot more sceptical of heating food / putting warm beverages in plastic containers. It might be very easy to find a glass or metal cup but maybe it wont be. I would use it for drinking coffee mainly, i already have a metal bottle for water but because that system is easier to get right it didn't require any research.

Authorities had performed an unannounced visit to Haddix's home in April and found a large cage in her basement. The cage was empty, but authorities saw "fresh dung," flies, blankets, an empty Gatorade bottle and “a half-eaten sucker” in the case, leading them to believe a chimp had recently been kept there.

The unannounced visit was a condition of her release.

Haddix's legal battle played out on HBO's "Chimp Crazy." The four-part series was released last year and followed her custody case with PETA over several chimps, including Tonka. The movie star chimp had vanished in 2021 under her care after a court granted PETA permission to transfer Tonka and other chimps to a sanctuary.

In January 2022 virtual court testimony featured in the four-part series, Haddix sobbed as she told the court that Tonka had died and was cremated. In the series, Haddix revealed to the audience that Tonka was alive and celebrated her tricking the court.

PETA used the HBO series as evidence in its case against Haddix.

In the Netherlands there is an (i believe) voluntary questionnaire now. Guess if you don't answer it they couldn't care less you're not joining cuz they have no room for unmotivated people and if you return it they could give you a call because the military establishment is woke enough to let everyone participate. I like this because in war being skilled isn't useful if you aren't motivated to fight and being 'weak' (read female, disabled, gay, whatever) isn't as dangerous because a part of those minorities have gotten serious training because they wanted to be trained and are willing to pick up arms.

There is no Saturn in the Netherlands, but Mediamarkt doesn't go above and beyond for anyone here. I think it's because their biggest competitor (Coolblue) does and they can't compete. Since they can't compete with the internet on price they seem to have had to focus on having products on display so you can see and feel them (and in case like phones, tv's and laptops you can try them). But once you've bought something and it breaks and it comes to warranty is entirely dependent on whether they think they can get the manufacturer to fix/replace it or not. If it is slightly questionable it isn't the manufacturers problem they'll turn you away as far as i've heard. I still come there every once in a while but it's been years since i bought something there because of a single bad experience.

From the transcript:

As for my final analysis of the situation, for the record, this is not the first thing I would have asked Proton to do. I think there's a lot of other cool things they could have done, and I frankly would have just preferred if they improved some of the integrations between their current products and just improved on those. But this is fine. I think it's so far fine. I don't know if I'm going to be using this, especially because it doesn't really integrate with anything else too much in the Proton ecosystem. One thing you need to understand about Lumo, which is maybe going to make it or break it for you, is a lot of people use AI as part of their process when it comes to searching for something. And Proton doesn't have a search engine, and this is something you have to actively go to to use, whereas something like DuckDuckGo's AI agent, which is something I do find myself just accidentally stumbling on using pretty often now, mainly because I'll do a search, I'll go through a few web articles, and then I'll go, oh, okay, that was interesting. I'm curious, like, if I put this information together, like what an LLM will spit out. And then I'll just go ahead and click.ai. But that use case isn't quite a thing for Lumo. Like, Lumo, you're going to have to log in and just go to Lumo just to go ahead and use your LLM. And at that point, you could have used any of the other ones that probably are better performing, almost as good privacy, or you could have just opened up your local program, which probably has better performance as well. So I think the uphill battle, for me at least, is going to be understanding where this could even fit in my workflow without just using it more. It's gonna be hard for me to know when this is actually better to use than some of the other tools. Either way, I think the major feat that they're happy with, as well as myself, is their ability to somehow do end-to-end encryption with these kind of AI models. The end-to-end encryption aspect of it is very interesting and is something that hopefully other providers can learn from to build even better AI models.
