I really enjoyed the first season.

The books were great but they seriously suffered from lack of editing. Example: nobody needed to see that much of Mat whining and being an ass on the barge ride up the river and I’m glad the show left it out. I’m cautiously optimistic that the show will pull off judicious improvements to the storytelling.

You can try, but you can’t make it correct. My ideal is to write code once that is bug-free. That’s very difficult, but not fundamentally impossible. Especially in small well-scrutinized areas that are critical for security it is possible with enough care and effort to write code with no security bugs. With LLM AI tools that’s not even theoretically possible, let alone practical. You will just need to be forever updating your prompt to mitigate the free latest most fashionable prompt injections.

The problem with LLM AIs Ous that you can’t sanitize the inputs safely. There is no difference between the program (initial prompt from the developer) and the data (your form input)

Not so easy to Ignore what you know.

Knowledge is power, but ignorance is bliss.

I follow the news until I can’t take it any more, and take a break until I can again.

No it’s not, it’s just hosted on Oracle-owned servers

At the time, no. It wasn’t in my plans at all. Now I think about it sometimes.

I don’t know about AI involvement but this story in general is very very old.

It was a study-abroad year and the year ended. I never had the permission to stay and work.

Seems a little early to be making claims about what the jury will do

American here who studied German for eight years, graduated with a minor in German, and lived there for one year:

I’m not sure how to properly translate this children’s book.

The long word breaks into easily-understood pieces:

“help-ability-extinguish-group-travel-thing”

But in order to get a proper concept back out of it you need to know what order the pieces go together in and I don’t know that.

travel-thing is a vehicle.

help-ability is emergency services

Beyond that I have to guess — Is group-travel-thing a crew vehicle, making this a crew vehicle for extinguishing?

Or maybe extinguish-group is a fire crew and this is a vehicle for fire crews?

Either way I feel like the author is using a lot more word-parts than they should have to for what is (clearly in the picture) better described as a pump truck.

The state of Delaware ruled in a lawsuit that the Tesla board is under control of Musk and not really an independent board as it should be

Yes. Say it out loud.

I am almost 50 years old and understood for the first time this month that the reason my wife doesn’t like going out alone to explore new places is fear of men and not fear of getting lost etc.

For mumble-mumble years it has never occurred to me to wonder about this

My MIL declared bankruptcy and after that she was awash in credit card ads. What you say makes sense but it doesn’t square with what I saw.

Presumably part of the draw for living in downtown San Francisco is you don’t need to pay for the upkeep and feeding of a car

Nobody is surprised that pollution centers on areas where people live, but showing how the pollution levels change hour-by-hour over a broad area is new and is a big deal.

What’s the consequences for getting caught? Even if they do detect you messing with their install image, what are they going to do about it besides tell you to put it back? Unless they’re going to make you go for psych visits over software removal, it seems to me you may as well just try it and find out.

I used XMPP for years, then my work switched to using it, then my work switched to Slack.

XMPP was fine.
