Instructions unclear, sold it when it doubled.

Why not, if copilot writes the code and tests, then the tests can be passed so much more easily!

Recently someone lamented that just asking for an alarm to be set cost them tons of money and didn’t even work right…

It was foolish enough to let LLM go to town on automation, but for open ended scenarios, I at least got the logic even if it was stupidly optimistic.

But implementing an alarm? These people don’t even have rationality to their enthusiasm…

Block is not doing so hot, they were evidently in a downward spiral already.

So AI is a good cover.

Basically “Square” worked out great, but everything after has gone badly.

Broadly an “everyone is shit here” scenario.

Mental illness can come for any walk of life. LLMs clearly have the potential to exacerbate or cause mental illness.

It has striken me how one upon a time, thinking that the media you interacted with spoke directly to you personally was a pretty strong indicator of schizophrenia. Now that’s just marketing using AI.

Eh, I’m not really interested in disc based copies, really the disc is there for ripping and then stored, jellyfin to stream it to watch as I please. Once ripped then I can handle the resultant file nice and easy.

plastic crowns, I’ll settle for nothing short of genuine gold and gems, thank you very much.

Pro tip to BK: I probably wouldn’t even notice the lack of ‘please’ and ‘thank you’. I would, however, be significantly happier if you stopped making them say “You Rule”. Seems like they have to say it as both greeting and a “your order is finished”. It’s just unpleasantly cringey.

This scenario isn’t really useful as a ‘fall guy’. He’s just one of many, his culpability does nothing to detract from anyone else’s culpability. In fact, his admissions reinforce the substance of the Epstein files and strengthen any allegations that stem from them about others.

It’s a bit trickier last time I did it to be confident I can rip a Blu-Ray.

I actually don’t want to juggle discs to watch stuff, I like the general concept of streaming, but I don’t like paying eternally for it, for shows to jump between providers and for my access to cut out part way through and/or even if I have the new service, my progress being forgotten so I have to try to look for where I left off.

So I want to rip content. DVDs are always dead simple. As I rip blu-rays, MakeMKV is kind of a hassle, it wants to expire itself all the time, and like right this second the place to update from seems down. Maybe someone will comment with some easy way to rip blu ray that internet search doesn’t make obvious.

If folks sway me, might go buy a 4k friendly Blu Ray drive and hop to it.

Sure about houses, but retirements are balances built upon the expectation that debt continues to grow and remains serviceable. If the debt is a problem, retirement accounts go poof

The thing is in such a case secureboot doesn’t help and is unnecessary. Secureboot only does anything for the concept of “trusted suppliers”.

If the system has available signing keys for itself, well, hypothetical malware could sign itself using those same keys The OS security mechanisms are the only things protecting that, and in which case the signature validation is redundant.

You can have trusted boot, e.g. LUKS volume sealed to TPM PCRs, but secureboot just doesnt make sense as a mechanism for a user to only trust themselves.

I have seen some platforms locked to Microsoft first party keys only. They boiled the frog by starting with it being optional, able to enroll your own keys, and Microsoft signing third party bootloaders, but now there exists a Microsoft-only certificate regime that at least some vendors have selected, or at least made a selectable option. The pitch being that Windows shops that don’t trust their users can be assured they aren’t deviating from the blessed windows os their IT trusts.

Nvidia can’t meaningfully sign their Linux drivers. A distribution can, in theory, include Nvidia drivers in their build and sign it, but the logistics of out of tree drivers is just impossible.

Redhat toys with the concept of a whitelisted ABI for some limited range of kernels, but I’ve never seen a driver actually roll with that.

Basically Linux would need to embrace some form of ABI, and there’s been zero interest in doing so.

Personally, there is not one person in the gender I’m not attracted to that even vaguely seems interesting that way.

Might as well be thinking of grasshoppers or something.

You will be able to tell slop from intelligence.

However, you won’t be able to tell AI slop from human slop, and we’ve had human slop around and already overwhelming, but nothing compared to LLM slop volume.

In fact, reading AI slop text reminds me a lot of human slop I’ve seen, whether it’s ‘high school’ style paper writing or clickbait word padding of an article.

I wouldn’t be surprised if ‘experienced’ agents are generally also incompetent. Pre-trump they would have mostly had pretty mundane duties, maybe manning a border station checking paperwork, maybe even desk jockeys. Sure “enforcement” actions were a thing, but I suspect a large number of people were never anywhere close to ‘action’.

A reporter that went through the hiring process included the detail that while desk work was a possibility that a recruit had to be prepared for, it was a critical priority to get as many people on the streets with guns.

It’s frequently hard to tell at a glance codegen slop, you actually have to look at it and understand what’s going on. An LLM that would produce such slop itself isn’t going to be effective at detecting such slop.

So there remains a market for that content, just like there is a giant market for free low effort mobile games with micro transactions.

Can still seek out and reward passionate projects that clearly actually care about their output. Those projects may not get the same obscene revenue, but they frequently get a viable amount and consistently get recognition for just how well done they are.
