Tests are called "evals" (evaluations) in the AI product development world. Basically you let humans review LLM output or feed it to another LLM with instructions how to evaluate it.

A similar thing is the ULANZI TC001 (50€ on Amazon), with the firmware AWTRIX 3 (https://blueforcer.github.io/awtrix3/).

No, it was 48°C air temperature. The "Debunking" was a hoax and this explained in the article you linked.

You are wrong, the idea is much older and the idea for the current version (initially called 1-2-3 Ticket) was suggested by the green party in 2013 already.

sk7 — Thu, 02 Apr 2020 03:13:25 +0000

Jitsi does not re-encode video streams on the server, it's a SFU (selective forwarding unit) and just forwards (some) video streams to the other participators. When Simulcast is enabled, multiple resolutions of your video are streamed to the Jitsi server and it only sends those streams to clients which they asked for (participants can choose the quality of video they receive, in the UI)

OTR is something a lot of people use and trust. It also makes it easier for users to use our service with third-party clients later that already support OTR. Plausible deniability might not be very important for companies, I agree. We are also looking into other protocols, for the same reasons TextSecure decided to modify OTR: both parties need to be online to exchange keys.
