These days, you also likely get faster loading times when you self-host the font, because it can be sent through the same HTTPS connection and because caching doesn’t work anymore like it used to many years ago (cached files aren’t shared anymore between websites).

Ah, I meant that as in the individual hair have less circumference and therefore are easier to cut through.

Personally, I find it much easier down under, because the hair is a lot thinner…

Okay, but just to be clear, the problem is not that it can’t do a timer. The problem is that it claims to be able to and even produces a result which looks plausible. It means, you cannot trust it to do anything that you can’t easily verify. If they could fix that overconfidence in a year, it would be much better.

My first thought was bugs and berries looking similar to a marble, but moving water makes a lot of sense. There’s for example also cat fountains you can buy, because some cats won’t drink the still water in a bowl.

Can certainly also see why it got named that… 🙃

“As always.” is an old favorite of mine. They’ll assume things are neither particularly good nor bad, when what you mean is that you always feel bad.

Hmm, is the last staff thing just the death message from Sif Muna? I seriously don’t play often enough with Sif Muna, because Heplhjdtfhxhdh always seems so good… 🥴

Yeah, in particular, anything close to 100 million users presumes that non-gamedevs will use this. For anything beyond simple variations of existing games, like e.g. “Skyrim with spears”, you need to have an actual understanding of game design. It is not enough to have cool ideas.

So, I really don’t see many non-gamedevs using this. Especially when they can pay less to play a properly designed game.

In German, we’ve somehow adopted the English word “Handy” to refer to mobile phones. Problem is, if you actually use it as a noun in an English sentence, it’s a slang word for “handjob”. 🫠

Explanation:

• “die” is German for (feminine) “the”.
• “Gift” is German for poison.

Yeah, I can understand the frustration when an external decision forces you to disappoint some of your users, but ultimately you have to pick your battles. When neither the Python nor Rust ecosystem thinks those platforms are worth supporting, it’s probably not either worth it for you to worry…

Well, if he just got his tenure at 40, that means he presumably did something else in his life before tackling this path. Him saying the students can just call him Jeff is also maybe linked to him having still been a student until recently. I assume, it’s a case of this being funny, if you actually study history and know a professor like that. 🫠

I think, it’s just used as in “late bloomer”, so someone who needed a bit longer, but now found their true potential. “Bloom” as in the thing flowers do.

And 3 months later, i have not booted it once

Oh man, I know the feeling. It took me 5 months to remember that I had a Windows partition.

It was so important to me, to have a way back (which is fair enough), and then I just completely forgot about it.

The problem is that in this case, the LLM just naively auto-completes a password from what it knows a password to most likely look like.

It is possible to enable an LLM to call external tools and to provide it with instructions, so that it’s likely to auto-complete the tool call instead. Then you could have it call a tool to generate a correct horse battery staple, or a completely random password by e.g. calling the pwgen command on Linux.

But yeah, that just isn’t what this article is about. It’s specifically about cases where an LLM is used without tool calls and therefore naively auto-completes the most likely password-like string.

I imagine, it’s a matter of asking it to generate some configuration and one of the fields in that configuration is for a password, so the LLM just auto-completes what a password is most likely to look like.

I don’t remember the details, but the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities from a few years ago also felt like they were cutting corners. Those were enabled by some fundamental architectural decisions, which really just didn’t sound like a good idea to me, when I read up on them.

I don’t feel like these positions are at odds with one another, unless you become active in reducing the number of humans, of course.

Like, you can uplift and protect people by stopping them from killing their environment, because you recognize that people are an invasive species that will do that.
