I am a bit of an oldie too (44) and my background is in C#

I am thinking of making a CLI scoundrel card game.

I bought Alex's "Let's Go Further" book a while back, I really should spend some time with it.

I want to learn Go.

Have telegram set up and plotting to take over the world

Rubicon I always add Rubicon to these types of lists. Amazing spy series.

I backed this on Kickstarter and have been following for a while. I am after a gadget to tinker with but still on the fence a little bit. It's about 300€ all in so I will see.

It's a push to using their cloud services I suppose. I have had to pay for the icloud for a while now because my phone would fill up so quickly.

I am eyeing a few tutorials on building my own cloud.

If the LLM is running under a role, which it should be, then RBAC can help.

Yea agreed. Or use RBAC

That’s amazing.

If you cannot control what’s being input, then you need to check what the LLM is returning.

Either that or put it in a sandbox

The Roblox ones are a bit of a minefield too.

I age restrict, block chat with everyone and monitor friend requests weekly. They are not allowed to play in their rooms.

Education is the biggest thing. They come to me if someone asks to be their friend. They don’t accept gifts from strangers and I explain that it’s the same as real world.

It’s a constant process that is always changing. Same as any other parenting job I suppose

All these come from the white house press directly which has painted them in a glowing light but it remains to be seen if they are actually good things. The administration is crooked. Nothing they do can be trusted. Especially when they attack science and reduce funding for critical programs
