I want to say I've already read some articles about hobbyists buying previous generation equipment from labs. The entire supplychain would need to be locked down with used equipment being returned to manufacturers for there to be any security.

Needs the floating video thumbnail with auto-play and sound. Also the requests for location and permission to send notifications dialogs in chrome!

Fun to think about the consequences of the provider having user-level secret keys. Could be like those yellow dots printers add.

I am so very tired of 2 page long PR descriptions for a 5 line change.

This is a silly analogy but it's like integer truncation has been applied everywhere blindly. Staffing model says you need 2.5 employees on average to handle the load? You get 2. Everywhere with everything.

The LLM harness and the testing harness are harnesses that support and run the thing. Also like an engine harness. People don't talk about those harnesses like ones for an animal being subdued.

That's a real fucking weird description. It's harness like a testing harness.

With Claude not only can you shave more yaks, you can build and run a yak farm and specialized yak-trimmer factory!

Scale does matter. Take bacterial infections for example, there's a tipping of scale on the way to full blown sepsis

Yeah, the students are being graded like meat. It's not for the cow's sake, it's for the consumer. I say this as someone who had to maintain a set gpa through to keep a scholarship.

If they can use a cryptographic key to sign the text, will they generated keys unique to users? Seems like they'd be able to trace back to which accounts were used to say generate scam dialogue, threats, propaganda or bot content on the open internet?

I feel like if you had wanted to you could have done it before. When I got a pool in 2020,there were still old school phpBB forums out there dedicated to DIY and maintenance. That same summer, my neighbour who in no way is techie or handy redid his plumbing too.
