If you don't have the resources to defend yourself then it's probably not wise to publish things like this but you can tell others of your experience. Also for those things you could sue for damages or lodge a complaint for malpra

Yes. But this option still exists in addition to reputation which I mentioned. With AI models this option does not exist. I can't sue OpenAI because the contract that I got ChatGPT to draft carelessly exposes me to some type of financi

Human professionals put their reputation and finances at risk when performing their work. This risk functions as a guarantee.

For me small things are generally cheaper on Aliexpress. Amazon drivers are also terrible in my area. They leave parcels as soon as the app tells them they can (it's done via GPS) so sometimes that is on top of an apartment block mailb

Not everyone is optimizing for time. The agents will give you the choice of what you want to optimize for. So you can just tell your agent "Hey X order me a Nintendo Switch 2. I want it by the weekend." Then it will order it for y

This is what I have been saying since LLMs came out. A device with a custom agent that has a screen, mic and speaker can now turn amazon into a logistics company. The most low friction way of doing anything is to just ask someone else to do

Then after realizing my mistake and connecting the correct EPS connector I lost an additional 3 drives trying to test if the backplane was still ok. Double uh oh.

Before you fry a whole 12bay drive array and backplane let me tell you this: 6 pin EPS and 6 pin PCIe power cables are not the same. Even though the connector may fit they are not the same pinout.

It's worth mentioning that last time I checked encrypted ZFS was not considered production due to obscure file corruption bugs that were unpatched. This was a while ago so it may have changed but then changes can introduce new bugs...

The laws of supply and demand apply to labour as well.

On a serious note I think that this fact is not understood by many. There is no such thing as common sense without shared assumptions. So if those shared assumptions are incorrect or not given at all the output of the models will be nonsens

"Instead, what they all have in common is a vague underlying fear of being displaced, or sense that something owed to them is being taken." This is true for both the citizens and the immigrants.

It's funny that when you offload the work to agents they still find away to monopolise each other's time with meetings.

It's all by design to. People call for social media regulation without realizing that it is by no coincidence these companies have been able to grow so large. The security state has been outsourced to private industry.

3. Emotion motivates everything that we do. It's just a question of what emotions are you considering and what emotions are you prioritizing. Reasoning is taking all emotions into context and focusing on actions that align with certain

It was happening when I was using Chrome on iPhone and Windows 11 with Chrome. I can't remember what was causing it since the headphones (Bose Quietcomfort SE) are synced with both devices. For the last couple of months I've been

Haven't the SLMs been distilled using the LLMs? If this is correct I see a future where the hyperscalers are funded by the businesses integrating siloed SLMs in their software. Also the defence/intelligence industry will always wa

They have been doing this for months. No sound playing but the audio would change like the microphone was being activated. I checked permissions to make sure there was no mic access and figured that they were fingerprinting.

Simple smart watches make sense for people who want accurate time who don't want to pull their phone out of their pocket for things that can be answered by looking at their wrist.

It's not just that. As user agents become more common it's only natural that they will be used for taking the heavy lifting out of e-commerce purchases. There will be a big need for digital payments to verify and reconcile these p

Trebuchets were used in the Syrian civil war (2011-2024). I would link a video but I don't think that is a wise idea for legal reasons. There were so many parties in that war and I'm not sure which ones were declared terrorist org

That prompt is there for legal reasons. Non deterministic output is the expected outcome.

This happens with niche markets e.g. CRT TVs. Because CRTs are no longer made they are becoming rare but at the same time the market for them is small so what ends up happening is that opportunists take advantage of this and hoard them to c

It works in weird ways. Physical space e.g. hikes,lookouts etc get absolutely ruined now and sometimes even closed due to the low barrier of entry required to discover them and the type of people this attracts but the flip side is something

I thought the benefit of small models is that they are a natural language UI to whatever they are connected to. It seems strange to me to expect a small model to answer everything correctly when every device that they are being used on supp

Thanks for the description. I think I'll jump down the rabbit hole and see it for myself.

I think my particular experiences and shopping style have tainted my view. I understand what you are talking about because the first time entering these spaces always holds a sense of wonder and discovery. Just like exploring the backstreet

I think the maze thing is a strategy that mall operators use to trap shoppers in them and encourage them to spend more.
