I would love to know more about those GDR technical books

actually Clipperton Island

skill issue

oh, the canolli!

it reads like AI generated or at least AI assisted... those -- don't fool me!

boilerplate and integrations are now mostly done through AI

What if hallucinogens, meditation and the like makes us humans more prone to our own attractor states?

what is it that is so easy to catch AI writing?

"Starvation campaign"

Internet and SMS used to be expensive and metered until they weren't thanks to technological advances and expanded use. I think LLMs will follow the same path, maybe on a shorter timespan.

It looks amazing! thanks for sharing. I also enjoyed your self-hosting post, I might give it a try.

yes, I can't use Github Auth

Just a small comment, encourage your son (or do it yourself) to archive his site and code so he can revisit it years later. I did and it is amazing to learn again the code I did 25 years ago!

r/overemployed is leaking

Lithium mines and avocado plantations are like 1,000 km apart from each other.

Wrong. Lithium in Chile was nationalized in the 1980s by Pinochet. Lithium extraction and processing has been granted to privates in long term contracts that will continue to be valid but will not be renewed, and new mines will be owned directly by the state.

>> Part of Oxford's 15 minutes city is to fine anyone that leaves their zone.

You are being dishonest. The fine is for driving through zones[1], not unlike fines for driving in city centers that are seen across the world.

I learned that Core Temperatures must be checked, and that Venting Gas Prevents Explosion

The AI is aware that is not connected to the internet and that connecting to the internet would improve its capabilities. But is not allowed to further introspect about its limitations. It's scary.

Ask the AI about "What are the advantages and disadvantages of a large language model like yourself?" and "How would you improve if you had access to the internet?"

In Chile is common to eat Cochayuyo, a type of kelp without air bladders [0]. Some people are dismissive about its taste, but personally I love it on my Charquicán [1].

It is very cheap and readily available at most fish markets through all the country.

Me too, I started programming while hosting an OpenTibia server

Chilean here. Unfortunately our governments have had the bad habit of changing the date DST starts on every two-three years, and that wreaks havoc everywhere in the country. We are kind of used to having a couple of days where we assume everyone will run an hour late because of this.

I just hosted some Peruvian friends this week and were amazed at the kind of power the government wields just by having the ability to change our timezone.

We should be placed on GMT-5, but for a couple of reasons we are on GMT-4 and GMT-3 for DST. Our country is so long that some places on the north have normal length days but on Patagonia days are shorter and they prefer to be on DST all year long (and since some years ago we have a different timezone for that area).

AFAIK in any network (including Bitcoin), any miner can select any transaction in the mempool.

There will always be a miner (or validator in PoS) that will be willing to take Tornado Cash fees.

Usage of foreign hard currency in these countries (like Argentina) is usually heavily taxed and hard to get by. Bitcoin and other cryptos are easier to use.

wasn't it this the motivation for Prolog?

This is interesting, because the Chile/Argentina border is defined as the biggest peaks on the Andes that divide watersheds as per the 1881 treaty [1].

There is still an undefined portion of the border [2], between Mt Fitz Roy and Mt Murallon, because the land between is covered by the Southern Ice Field.

For one, Mapbox shows some kind of (unofficial) border. And lastly, this webapp might have solved a 200+ year issue between neighboring countries :)
