But of course, it’s not an either-or. Ideally, I agree LLMs would provide slightly fewer comments.
It's unfortunate that truth is so hard to come by these days.

Great homepage, by the way- makes it very easy to tell what the robot can do (and I appreciated the FAQ).
The $75/month ($900/year) price tag is quite steep, but between the feature set, the intelligence built into the device, and the free repairs and replacements, I think this provides a lot of value for homeowners. I subscribed to your email list. Good luck!

> MYTH: The EARN IT Act is simply an attempt to ban encryption. > FACT: The EARN IT Act does not target, limit, or create liability for encryption or privacy services. In fact, in order to ensure the EARN IT Act would not be misconstrued as limiting encryption, specific protections were included in the bill to explicitly state that a court should not consider offering encryption or privacy services as an independent basis for legal liability.
> In late January of 2021, he opened a file sent to him by a fellow hacker, who had described it as an exploitation tool. Just 24 hours later, he spotted a blog post from Google Threat Analysis Group warning that North Korean hackers were targeting security researchers. Sure enough, when P4x scrutinized the hacking tool he'd received from a stranger, he saw that it contained a backdoor designed to provide a remote foothold on his computer. P4x had opened the file in a virtual machine, digitally quarantining it from the rest of his system. But he was nonetheless shocked and appalled by the realization that he'd been personally targeted by North Korea.
The article specifically states he received it "from a stranger", not a friend, which suggests that he was indeed personally targeted. Yes, it does say "fellow hacker", but again this is obviously not someone he knows because it's a "stranger".
I guess it comes down to your definition of "personally targeted". Sure, this isn't a spearphishing campaign, but according to Google's blog writeup about these events [1], they basically targeted individual researchers:
> The actors have been observed targeting specific security researchers by a novel social engineering method. After establishing initial communications, the actors would ask the targeted researcher if they wanted to collaborate on vulnerability research together...

James Clear talks about this in Atomic Habits [0][1], explaining that to break a bad habit, you must invert the first law of good habits ("Make it Obvious") so that the bad habit is "invisible". To do this, as you say, you must change your environment: "Reduce exposure. Remove the cues of your bad habits from your environment."

However, it's hard to learn without spending time committing content to memory, which reading a book does well due to the apparent large amount of filler content. Perhaps re-reading a summary multiple times can have a similar effect.
Sorry, but that's just false. This article contained specific points of advice, a lot of which is parroted by most financially competent people, but not all. Here's a few takeaways I noticed:
> avoid accelerating your hedonic treadmill, and save that money instead
> Invest your money. Do not let it sit idle in a bank.
> My own investment portfolio has consisted entirely of US equity (VTI), Developed Countries (VEA) and Emerging Markets (VWO). In recent years, I’ve also added real-estate (REET) to the mix. My exact allocations have varied, but I’ve generally invested an equal amount in each of the above. If you’re more risk averse, add a bond fund (BND) to your portfolio
> Do not try to time the market or pick winners and losers. On average, these are both losing strategies.
> You should strongly consider interviewing elsewhere every ~3 years... Practicing your interview skills is the best financial investment you can make.
> I’ve heard many people say you should ignore equity and only look at base salary in a job offer. This is poor advice – always look at the total compensation, not any one piece of it.
> Tell recruiters what compensation you’re expecting, not what you’re currently making. As a rule of thumb, whenever I switch jobs, I expect a 30% compensation increase. Anything less than 20%, I would recommend waiting for something better to come along.
> From 2004 to 2017, $15 million donated by employees of Google and its related companies went to Democrats, and just $1.6 million went to Republicans. Alphabet was created in 2015 as an umbrella company for these companies.
The article's source [1] verifies that the data is about the companies' employees, not the companies themselves.

> In addition, the Google Drive website, the Google Drive mobile application, and the Google Drive Terms and Privacy policy all failed to disclose to users that Google as a third party had access to their WhatsApp communications. The Google Drive terms of service at the time even permitted Google the ability to use its access to users’ private WhatsApp communications in Google Drive to sell advertising.
The last sentence suggests that yes, Google could have analyzed your uploads to serve you targeted ads.
