When I type "h^2 = " into the MacOS Notes or TextEdit app it autocompletes it to "h^2 =3.600 mins²". I don't want this feature. Anyone knows how can I turn it off? I've tried disabling Apple Intelligence and every feature under input sources, but no luck.

Thoughts on US politics from someone who grew up in a similar system (Hungary): - domestic policy bill looks like T is gearing up for a new term, not a 2nd term president pushing through hard reforms - strongman pushing out independent minded oligarchs is a common theme in these regimes, but it usually takes longer to consolidate power. Elon just gave T a freebie on that. - talking with pro Tump techies is sometimes as surreal as trying to convince hippies that communism is a bad idea. Trump naivete syndrome should be a thing

It’s not so much that I don’t believe in death, but that my experience is unity with the universe and living this experience makes the question of death moot.

Hmm I assume outsized eastern declines are based on negative migration assumptions, but that’s already reverting in Poland & Romania and is expected to continue as those countries get richer

While we're on office chairs, I've come to like these dynamic stools a lot: https://www.aeris.de/en/products/aeris-swopper-wollmischung-capture-gruen Looks like something out of South Park, but the older I get the less I can sit in one place, and the constant movement on the stool keeps my lower back from stiffening.

ARC-AGI-2 is the AI benchmark to watch. It consists of logic puzzles that are simple for humans, but difficult for current frontier models. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWHezX43I-4

There is no master plan, the fate of the world rests on the instincts of Donald Trump, one of the greatest populist politicians ever, and a man whose business success is grounded in weaseling out of failures. Buckle up people! https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/us/politics/trump-tariff-pause-be-cool.html

> But if the whole world order suddenly aligns against them, what do they do? They invade Taiwan, because they don't have anything to lose anymore, and there isn't anything the US can do about it short of nukes. This will disrupt semiconductor supply chains for a long time and the US will depend on EU goodwill to repatriate as EU controls fab manufacturing. I myself have purchased all advanced chips products I'm planning to use in the next ~3 years.

This is typical cope about authoritarian regimes. Strong man does something seemingly stupid, but he is a strong man, so there must be some master plan behind it. In reality, there is typically no plan, just a lack of checks on the leader.
