Was Mork attempting a surprised German, an elderly Japanese man, or some strange third thing?

Really high quality journalism here.

Really high quality critical thinking in the comment section.

Someone’s been around the block

Pro tip: many that ship with an SD inside will have the factory firmware and device-specific keys still recoverable on the card (secure erase is too slow for production I guess) so before turning the device on for the first time, remove the card and image it for maximum chance of recovering the FW intact.

lol dude I acknowledged it was too obscure and paid the due explanation. They’ll refund your ticket at the door.

A friend used to develop apps for Android and iOS platforms. WRT privacy lockdown and default permissions: Android < iOS < degoogled variants of android focusing specifically on privacy, security, or minimalist obscurity (e.g., graphene, lineage, etc). Retail Android is by far the worst choice for privacy, because Google’s primary motivation for contributing to the project was always instrumentation of a mobile platform for data harvesting and ad delivery.

νίκη!

Oh for sure. I was just answering in case you wanted to know.

Future versions of AI tools will likely use routing to do a variety of tasks more efficiently and accurately. But until then? It’s a jinn to those who would wish away every single chore they lack the patience to comprehend including, unfortunately, information security.

While “routing” of prompts between specialist models and traditional APIs does offer more efficient and reliable outputs, it also

A. requires more elbow grease than one massive generalist model, and

B. doesn’t help you avoid paying API licensing fees by obfuscating their outputs into the blackbox weights of your proprietary model

One in your hand is worth two in my bush?

lol and with that you’re a better friend to the begonia’s than I

AI including LLMs are forevermore just tools in my mind. And we wouldn’t have OSHA/BMAS/HSE/etc if idiots didn’t do idiot things with tools. BUT some idiots are spared from their own idiocy only by lack of permission.

From who? Depends. Sometimes they need permission from authority: “god told me to!” Sometimes they need it from the mob: “I thought I was on a tour!” And sometimes any fucking body will do: “dare me to do it!”

And THAT in my mind is the danger truly unique to these tools, that they mimic a permission-giver better than any we’ve made. They’re perfect for activating this specific category of idiot and (likely) unparalleled ease-of-use scales that danger to large numbers.

As to whether these idiots wouldn’t have just found permission elsewhere, who knows, but surely some kind of training prereq is warranted, right? That’s common with potentially dangerous tools. Or am I overthinking it?

lol these statuses always read like trembling balled up fists on a fat angry toddler

I suspect the user above you doesn’t care about that technicality. They’re just blaming victims for not being as virtuous as we are, which is small.

Adding to the above, one of the challenges of GD is how to know whether the global optimum reported by the function isn’t just one of its many imposters (local optima). That’s the “big picture” he’s talking about. Working with Elon was a dead end.

I thought it was a matter of detail resolution not simply color. My bad.

Heat stamping might be quickest alternative. Should be rugged and aid low-vision use.

Full brass letterpress type sets and die can be pricy, but the cheap leather iron kits at craft shops commonly include small metal alphanumeric types that could be set (clamped) and affixed to your stamp (burning/soldering iron or pliers + hot plate/stove).

But is LTO next? Is AI coming for my tapes??

Finally, the era of vibe command has arrived. WCGW?
