I want a breakdown of how much energy would be saved by deleting old emails vs energy spent by people using VPNs now because of the Online Safety Act :)

Compared to what? Sitting on the couch, snacking on chips? Of course.
Compared to letting your body fully rest during that day (perhaps in between longer runs).

Why the clickbait title? Yes, it's technically correct, but it obviously implies (as written) that o3 used those links "behind your back" and altered the replies.
Another option that's just as correct and doesn't mislead: "Profiling myself from my Pocket links with o3"
Note: title when reviewed is "o3 used my saved Pocket links to profile me"

I'm sure he wrote all of this on, sent it over, and now is re-reading it from his Texas Instruments TI-99/4A Home Computer.

I've only gotten a few paragraphs in, but this seems like a pipe dream of someone working in trades. Who, exactly, starts calling up locksmiths more when their job is gone and they don't have much money to spare? A lot of people being out of a job results in deflation for trades, not inflation. There's also more competition for the jobs that are still available, so you effectively have two sources of deflationary pressure working together. And somehow that results in a locksmith being able to charge 3x. Sure.
The bias found by this research is towards females.
And the comment says that, since companies start out with more males, it presumably makes sense to favour females to steer towards gender balance.
I do believe these these DOGErs are principled honest state servants, until proven otherwise.
Chill, this isn't a court of law, people can have opinions

Wait, "once in a century"? How many times has this been proven such that they feel comfortable talking about the statistical rate of proofs?
I can tell a HN article is from Quanta from the obnoxious clickbaity title. I'm shocked that they have to do this given their target audience (because I'd rather not believe they just choose to)
Still one of my favorite works of music and cinematography both; I just don’t agree at all with the implicit message. We are destined for the stars.
That end scene with the Atlas missile that you linked is def the best though (and Prophecies is the best song/track too).
I'm just a bit of a contrarian, and couldn't resist the appeal of that reply :@)
