In Sweden the banks offer a choice between an app and a hardware token. You can just go with the token then.

Raw milk dude definitely don’t care

Do you know how certificates work? I do. I run a cryptography forum. Expiration is the simplest of the mechanisms in certificates (it’s just a date stamp and time limit rule) and it’s 100% perfectly predictable what it will do.

If you have it through work you know what to do

If the licensing mechanism is the same then it will in fact happen due to expiring certificates (I have not checked if it’s the same)

Random plug for Matter, which is adding casting support while being open

Still under development but there’s already clients and servers available and you can run it on a Raspberry Pi hooked to your TV just fine

This gets at my own personal perspective of using LLMs to respond - it’s not just about not putting effort into understanding and responding yourself, rather it is about making yourself a proxy to a tool I could use myself, and doing so *without even having a better understanding of how to use the tool to answer my question*, and still thinking you’re somehow made a positive contribution, that is the most disrespectful.

If you genuinely thought the LLM could help me then you should be explaining your process to me for how to use it and validate responses, or else at least you should ask me for more info and explain how you think it’s responses could help if you really do think you’re better at operating it.

Imagine doing the same in a workshop, and taking a powertool to an object before you even bothered figuring out what the other person wanted. Or trying to be helpful by asking questions on your behalf to other departments, but messing up the context and thus repeatedly producing useless answers that you have to put time into refuting.

What do you mean, he played the genie, and, oh right…

You washed your dishes too hard

Pressure wash

This one (bath thermometer) goes to 111°F

That meeting should’ve been an email anyway.

… Uh, wait a minute…

It’s actually kinda easy. Neural networks are just weirder than usual logic gate circuits. You can program them just the same and insert explicit controlled logic and deterministic behavior. To somebody who don’t know the details of LLM training, they wouldn’t be able to tell much of a difference. It will be packaged as a bundle of node weights and work with the same interfaces and all.

The reason that doesn’t work well if you try to insert strict logic into a traditional LLM despite the node properties being well known is because of how intricately interwoven and mutually dependent all the different parts of the network is (that’s why it’s a LARGE language model). You can’t just arbitrarily edit anything or insert more nodes or replace logic, you don’t know what you might break. It’s easier to place inserted logic outside of the LLM network and train the model to interact with it (“tool use”).

Use it as a dumb worklog sometimes. Tell it what you were already gonna do and ask if it would do the same. It’s almost always gonna agree. Then just ignore it. If somebody AI obsessed pulls out the full logs they’re gonna see you’re doing what the AI said was good. (basically Inception, lol)

Won’t melt like that, it’s absolutely going to fall over if not perfectly symmetrical

Depends on the provider. Many only allow a single use of the provisioning code.

Some providers does however let you create a new one whenever (meant to be used when you replace devices)

Gmail started at 1 GB, which was massive compared to anything from 1-20 MB at most hosts, and they made a point of storage per account growing over time until they jumped to 10 GB

Some Sony phones have that type of sensor

TiVoization

Depends on cable type and speed. Sometimes it will limit maximum bandwidth available, but yeah if there’s enough noise it will simply kill the connection
