The first C&H comic strip compared to the last one:

That last one still makes me tear up. What a beautiful way to exit the stage.

Incredible logic jump with no evidence whatsoever. Thousands of people commit suicide every year without AI.
> ChatGPT detects a prompt indicative of mental distress or self-harm, it has been trained to encourage the user to contact a help line. Mr. Raine saw those sorts of messages again and again in the chat, particularly when Adam sought specific information about methods. But Adam had learned how to bypass those safeguards by saying the requests were for a story he was writing

On a related note, does anyone have insight into *why* the Indonesian government is doing this?
Git-Annex is a cool piece of technology, but my impression is that it works best for single-user repositories. So for instance, as @nolist_policy described in a sibling comment, managing all your personal files, documents, music, etc. across many different devices.
I tried using it for syncing large files in a collaborative repository, and the use of "magic" branches didn't seem to scale well.
YMMV, but it works for my org. We're an archival institution and have been using git-annex for more than a decade as the storage backend for a digital repository system designed for long-term, robust preservation. Admittedly, we only have 15-20 staff; but +30TB of data, ~750K files (binaries + metadata), across hundreds of collection repos.
