It’s a very nice concept to be able to dump a shitload of knowledge into a folder, look at “processing…” for a few seconds, then ask questions to get exactly what you’re looking for out of it rather than having to go digging through the mound of information and without having to worry that the computer just threw in a few made up facts for giggles. The idea is that the dumping happens over time mostly, allowing you to quickly find buried information from years ago with a few relevant queries.

One thing I’d do with this is dump all my emails into it, from across all my accounts. That might save me having to search keywords in 8+ accounts over 4-5 different platforms every so often…

It also might have been useful in a lawsuit I prosecuted a few years ago. Instead of going through two years of encrypted messages by hand to pull out relevant excerpts with context, I could have exported the lot and just asked for the information. If it worked it could have saved me months (I spent a few hours after work every night screenshotting, dating the screenshots in chronological order, then I’ve that was done I kept a spreadsheet that I filled with relevant excerpts and links to the screenshots, by reading every single screenshot… it was a lot).

Exactly what it says, what’s confusing about it? The problem with LLMs is that they bullshit; the problem with LLMs bullshitting is that you have to check everything they say, they are not trustworthy - severely limiting the utility. So, don’t trust LLMs. God meanwhile is assumed to be the paragon of honesty, and thus completely trustworthy, so would be the only entity to be trusted implicitly.

This works even if you don’t believe in god, like me: trust nobody, everyone must bring data if they want me to trust what they say.

My take is only valid for my environment, I think 😅 What’s your environment and threat model? Are you feeling that your current defenses are insufficient, is there an actual or potential increase in attacks? Are you finding yourself struggling to manage and secure company infrastructure with everyone’s personal devices connecting to it? Are your users frustrated with the security you do have in place? Or, are you looking to add new layers to address a deficiency?

IMO cloud services like this are either overpriced now or will get overpriced in the future; they usually work fine until there’s an outage or until they get compromised. But, I haven’t had to run a large corporate environment yet, and I could see the allure of offloading all the security onto an external vendor that we can blame (and sue) if things go wrong down the track.

edit: reading u/False’s comment it does sound like it’s at least a decent user experience, at least if they’re using the Sonicwall product you’re looking at. You can almost certainly build an equivalent service internally with FOSS tools, but will the user experience be as good/seamless? That’s a lot less certain.

after all a corpse can’t fight back.

And a good thing too, have you seen the size of his face? Couldn’t have hit that thing with a sniper rifle.

(do not expand on the joke, do not expand on the joke, it stands on its own merits, do not expand on the joke)

What? I was agreeing that this is one hundo percento something those cunts would do. I didn’t know they’d already named a highway after him, though 😑

Ugh, you’re right, they totally will. Yeah, I can see a case for pasting printed copies of his tweets all over such institutions (for example).

One quote I’m particularly fond of is “Oh. Gurgle. Ahhhhhh”

Oh yeah, fair enough. That one I want to get in cross-stitch to hang over the fireplace.

There are plenty of hate-filled shitstains to fight. Why would we focus on one who isn’t here anymore? As to learning from history: we don’t, we won’t, we’ve proven it. And by “we” I mean “humans”.

Dude’s dead. Reposting his hate amplifies his message and makes that matter less. We should collectively forget he ever existed, and it would still be too good for him, but it’s the least we can do.

Article doesn’t say what the primary material of the thermos was, but that the man got lead poisoning due to the container “rusting”. Maybe it was an iron/steel lining over a lead core? In any case it doesn’t sound like something most people have to worry about.

Also the article ends with a mention of a guy who made coffee with stale beans daily and his liver failed. That’s… Not something you can attribute to stale coffee alone. It’s possible the beans were consistently moldy, and that the mycotoxins accumulated over years to the point that his liver gave out, especially if he already had health problems. But it would take years of exposure.

Turned around:

• it doesn’t matter that the gun is fake, he stole her wallet
• it doesn’t matter if the wallet is fake, she still got robbed
• it doesn’t matter if the universe is fake, these experiences are real for the people living in it

This is very, very quite similar to the British use of “quite” to mean “extremely”.

Did you see him shit his pants while he was exercising? Quite disconcerting, I must say.

Imagine breathing in all that exhaust while you’re running 🤢 Did I mention cancer rates in gen x and millennials are expected to be drastically higher than prior generations? https://pressroom.cancer.org/higherriskGenXandMillennials

No clue what that’s all about…

I bought it ages ago and am now waiting for it to be done before I pick it back up again. But I’m getting the urge to pick it back up anyway, sailing out into a storm to go serpent hunting is such a vibe!

Your first draft isn’t an unoriginal idea expressed clearly; it’s an original idea expressed poorly

I like this a lot. I’m going to thieve it.

They didn’t pick a side the last time the Nazis came around, either.

First, what you did was attack his sexuality, and that’s still homophobia, even if you’re gay. Quit normalising bigotry. Second, “what is offensive” is an entirely personal and subjective standard, there is nothing that is “objectively offensive”. You can tell with the penguin test (if a penguin wouldn’t also find it offensive, then it’s not objectively offensive). Finally: they did you a favour, dude. Reddit sucks, that’s why we’re all here.

Also, nobody cares how they moderated you. It’s not a comment on you personally, they don’t even know you - and that’s the answer to everything you posted here: they don’t even know you. Move on and enjoy the fediverse, or run around outside the orange fence like Eric Andre trying to get back in; your choice only really affects you, in the end.

Maybe a better analogy would be the Ship of Theseus - how much of an AI-generated picture has to be replaced by human work for it to not be considered slop anymore?
