I am still on Office 2021 on my Mac, which was the last “non-subscription” offering I could find. No Copilot yet.

I haven't attempted to buy it, but there should be a 2024 version: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/p/office-home-...

Office 2007 works great in wine

Clearly the answer is to throw an LLM to filter AI posts.

I've been trying to do this with just word2vec, instead of throwing an LLM, since you just need to find a word with the appropriate distances optimized. https://github.com/captn3m0/ideas?tab=readme-ov-file#codenam...

I did that last summer, I compared the performance of different english word embedding models, as far as I remember the best ones were GloVe and a few knowledge graph word embeddings.

None of them were better than a human at giving hints for 3+ words though


I tried this many years ago (before LLMs) with hundreds of real human games and it was never that good.

I love this.

Imagine the energy savings if more people didn’t just automatically reach for LLMs for their pet projects.


Advertisers would very much not like to serve ads to bots, and this will result in:

1. Better bot detection

2. Agents voluntarily providing bot-detection signals (navigator.Bot?)

3. Websites blocking bots entirely.


But behind that bot there’s a human who will consume that info. Find a way to make them see your product.

I attended Paras’a talk at the last graduation day for the residency. I’m amazed at how he was able to do all that, while dealing with the acquisition due diligence.

The Visa was for "all of Schengen", but you have to apply via a country - Luxembourg in this case. You can only apply via the country associated with your main purpose of travel.

India sadly does not:

> 13. Issue of additional passport or travel document in special circumstances. A person holding a passport or travel document shall not be entitled to another passport or travel 'document unless he surrenders to the passport authority the passport or travel document already held by him.

In addition to the enclave routes, I have a proposal to build this with AWS Lambda as a poor man’s attestation: https://github.com/captn3m0/ideas?tab=readme-ov-file#verifia...

I'm remembering the Redmine slide from Zach Holman's talk, where he makes fun of the overly complicated Redmine issue creation screen, compared to what the GitHub screen looked like (back in 2011).

As I've been listening to Mythos recently, I must point out that it is also because Zeus cursed the Bee

> In his final response on the matter he declared that she will be a Queen of a colony of workers that will aid her in gathering honey. However, Greek Gods were never truly honourable in their wishes unless it benefitted them directly. In addition to her swarm of workers she was also granted a fatal sting, but this sting would be fatal to her or her colony if they ever used it on another. It was from then on that the honeybees’ was barbed; meaning that if their weapon was ever to be “deployed” that the individual that used their sting would not survive the attack.
