I don't think all this is needed to prove that LLMs aren't there yet. Here is a simple trivial one: "make ssh-keygen output decrypted version of a private key to another file" I&#x…

True. I think there is some posturing involved in the 500b number as well. Either that or its an excuse for everyone involved to inflate the prices. Hopefully the datacenters are useful for other stuf…

Yeah, I like doing this as well. And all the data goes in the request body. No query parameters. Especially when the primary intended client is an SPA, where the URL shown is decoupled with the API UR…

Come on, where did systemd come into the picture? Don't be obtuse. No one is saying that the algorithm should be three if statements that the jury can understand in 30 seconds. As an example, I&#…

Solution I use (works with _most_ apps -- GTK/Qt/WxWidgets/Electron, custom opengl/sdl apps are the main problem) Go to window scaling and set it to 2x, this will cause the composi…

There won't really be a noticeable effect IMO. It was banned in India a few years ago, everyone pretty much instantly moved to reels/youtube shorts. I don't know how creators managed, b…

That is not how precautions work. If unsure, you ban the mostly unnecessary things. "Hmm, there is an unknown risk with it, do I really need this unhealthy candy" no "Do i really need t…

Yep. 2 factor authentication using 2 simple mechanisms is great. Password for most cases. And then in high value things, ask me for 2FA. For things like banks and anything money related, SMS 2FA alre…
