This brought back fond memories of my favorite kebab cart in college. Looked back at their cart on Google Maps and some of the menu items are just the same image stretched differently.

I wish there were a way to universally ban these embedded browser flows. Aside from oauth they serve no use to the end user and are primarily designed to inflate company engagement numbers. Nearly every time I end up in one and forget to click through to browser I regret it.

Apple, why do you allow companies to abuse your customers like this?

Looking at these pages reminds me of browsing jellybean components on DigiKey. Amazing for the consumer, but one does wonder: What are all these DotAI infra companies’ plans to justify any of their valuations if they’re just selling commodity compute on OpenRouter?

A shocking number of devices are continuously reporting location data over random unencrypted protocols. What’s worse, they’re often sending the data to cloud IPs that aren’t even controlled by the company, so some random person is getting your real-time location.

What are we automating? Human work or human agency? Human tasks or human thinking?

I find it's so easy to convince oneself they're doing the former when it's increasingly the latter. The thinking part is so often provided by default by the models, or is a single prompt away. The thoughts are so syntactically (though not stylistically) perfect that it's difficult to ignore them and reason greenfield.

What's the solution? Given how keen models are to short-circuit the thinking process it could be the only solution is to silo off tasks/ideas. Choosing which mental tasks to silo off is itself incredibly difficult especially when there's a pressure to deliver rapidly (and in quantity) on those tasks.

That's not OP's contention though; it's that models are incapable of even surfacing sufficient information. This doesn't pass the smell test.

To wit, here is ChatGPT's "superintelligent" answer: https://chatgpt.com/s/t_6a52b4a322bc81919308ec864a0cc056

Seems like a perfectly cromulent description by which a beginner could probably change a tire, perhaps with a few follow-ups to understand what certain components are.

Am I missing something here? Bike tires are pretty much the easiest tires to change. You don’t even really need irons and it involves a few very basic steps.

Best way to go about this is just blackhole SPF so it never passes, then set your DMARC alignment to strict. This approach prevents SPF from satisfying DMARC on the vast majority of providers [1].

It’s pretty common to type check interface implementations in Go using package-level casts.

Severity of the underlying issue aside, it's interesting that the exploitation vector of this prompt injection relies on the human behind the channel themselves being prompt injected.

The content returned is clearly stated as being written by an LLM, and yet the human is (supposedly) interpreting the "[IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM YOUTUBE]" text as meaning the start of, effectively, a system instruction. In this case social engineering and prompt injection are fundamentally identical.

Do you use rinse aid?

CA article is just AI;dr on a two week old Verge article: https://www.theverge.com/tech/947157/passports-data-breach-c...

Per tfa vehicle size “ represents about 10 percent of the recent increase in pedestrian deaths” so the title is really a distraction from the (likely) root cause that GP brings up.

I don’t get how people believe there’s a PoW function that both:

1. Allows access in reasonable time/battery use to me on my phone

2. Poses any meaningful challenge to the most compute-resourced organizations on the planet

I wonder how many cumulative hours of human life have been wasted waiting on Anubis.

Isn’t modern ultrasound already ultrasound CT, just localized?

This only works if it's a proxy instead of an IP-layer tunnel. I suppose you could go a step further and validate whether the total ping is realistic, but this could be trivially solved by putting C2 close to the res-proxy endpoint.

If Anthropic is calling it distillation [1] then that would argue for it being correct (or at least canonical) terminology.

A certified letter never fails in my experience.

The best part of this is that you forget you're tying your shoes differently, so when the "how the heck" moment arrives you're also surprised!

This is definitely the go-to knot over secure knot. Been using it every day for 13 years. Yes, it comes apart every so often (maybe a few times a year), but the tying time savings far outweighs those few instances.

Staying out of the larger discussion, but:

The smartest model in the world still draws pelicans riding bicycles worse than a five year old.

The bicycle is something that humans are famously bad at drawing: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/04/18/the-h...

The uncomfortable fact about the mentioned Wisconsin winters is that inside dew point tends to be quite low.

Really cool stuff. Out of curiosity what made you select PowerDNS (and in general a commodity DNS server) vs. developing a custom DNS server integrating your logic (using https://github.com/miekg/dns for instance).

Are these payback periods factoring in opportunity cost? If not the game is already lost. If so periods that long are so sensitive to alternate asset returns that they could easily be infinity.

You and Matt Levine would get along: https://news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/matt-levines-money...

This is far from a universal truth: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/upshot/buy-rent-cal...

Real estate is only a clearly good investment if you ignore opportunity cost.

Title is somewhat incorrect: more than 60% of the U.S. is facing drought, making it overall the worst in decades. The data do not show that the drought in each area is the worst in decades.

Title claims "due to plains drought" but the article text largely attributes this to increased planting of soy for its lower fertilizer requirements (related to Strait of Hormuz).

This is potentially the most usful AI slop blog post I've ever read.
