I see this as for drill-down thinking from a broad -> specific concept AI seems to be helpful when supplementing specialist work. However like you both mentioned: when needing more focused and integrated answers AI tends hinders performance.
However as the paper noted, when working within AIs areas of strength it improved not only efficiency but the quality of the work as well (accounting for the hallucinations). As you mentioned:
> When I ask a programming question, chat GPT hallucinates something about 20% of the time and I can only tell because I’m skilled enough to see it
This matches their Centaur approach, delineating between AI and one’s own skills for a task which—with generalized work—seems to fair better than not using AI at all.
Doesn’t seem to be the case on iOS unfortunately which is really creepy. Still get tracked regardless of Cookie & Cache Reset/VPN/Private Browsing with Safari
But no, iPads did not replace laptops for the majority of people. Phones maybe, but not so much tablets.
Again if unless you are very young or old, and/or your profession significantly benefits from a portable touch devices (artistry, home remodeling, etc.) it’s a niche.
> If one wants to spend that time productively better to invest it in working, doing research, or entrepreneurship.
None of those are “socializing and making connections” though. Sure it happens during these events, but this article seems to say it’s “innovators” of our tech world—who dare to dream. Except the people who actually did that work weren’t out partying. They we’re studying physics, chemistry, math and programming while having a curiosity to tinker and experiment with this knowledge.
It also took some silver tongued entrepreneurs with rich families like Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Musk, Bezos, etc. to use these geeks (being rich nerds themselves) to create profitable organizations now synonymous with Silicon Valley itself
I guarantee you, innovation isn’t suffering because a bunch of Stanford frat students can’t fill houses up with sand anymore.
Most people seem to think it needs to be accessible online. Remote Access =/= Internet Access. Self hosting an external vault, using VPNs, and requiring MFA access make the vault tricky to get to in the first place. You’re machine would need to be compromised first for an attacker to even connect to it—and at that point you’re compromised (and probably keylogged).
If you’re actively under attack no Password Manager, mental algorithm/ password pattern, Yubikey, or MFA will prevent someone from just using your authenticated session(s).
Does that mean we shouldn’t use these mechanisms? Of course not. When the risk is only realized with full compromise—saying XYZ could pose a threat is moot from a security perspective.

ok but that also is prone to a weakness in any part of that chain assuming you even set it up properly in the first place. each piece is another layer that can be hacked or improperly setup.
Do you have any info on this? AFAIK, MAC is only distributed in datalink layer around local connections.
I tried some quick packet sniffing browsing Google and did not see my MAC transmitted—as I’d expect (bc like you said, ARP not thing at this layer) also research on “MAC included in http metadata” turns up no results…
If you have any more info on this I’d love to learn more—as I’m puzzled to know why this would happen?
I think the poster isn’t talking about the remote server seeing client MACs (because, as you say) but, rather, about the way mobile OSes use nearby wifi access point SSIDs to provide GPS-less geolocation. Samy Kamkar raised my awareness of this way back in 2010 or so, and this article about his DefCon talk provides a good quick explanation: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-10850875.
I can see why space limitations for a new company (saving expenses) but as a power user I save a lot of links so thus bottlenecks me unless I pay.
