and costs taxpayers billions compared to our working models 60 years ago. Great innovation
Garrrrrr··on Passkeys are just passwords that require a password manager
stuff like this makes me wish Firefox supported serial communication like Chrome does :/. I haven't run into this since I don't have a hardware passkey, but the Circuit Python website makes it super easy to communicate and flash over serial... expect I have to use Chrome for five minutes

unfortunately that's not the crowd of people here. 80% of the comments under this thread (right now, 2:52est) are making similar arguments and *continue* to act like LLMs are doing something unique/creative... instead of just generating sentences, from algorithms, from virtually pirated content in the form of data mining

...Really? It's the icon on the top-right of the Fx dev tools menu that looks like a mobile device. Also, both Chrome and Fx use the same keyboard shortcut to activate mobile view (Ctrl + Shift + M)
Garrrrrr··on Why bumblebees love cats and other beautiful relationships (2021)
It could be harmful to your cat's health if they don't like the noise of the bell. Not all cats are bothered by it though
Garrrrrr··on Going beyond ‘do you know of any open positions?’
In my experience, TekSystems (an IT hiring agency) have proven to be a waste of time. Even if you manage to secure a job through them, be prepared to sacrifice a significant portion (10-30%) of your potential salary, as they'll deduct your hourly/salary pay as a finding/employment fee. I'm not sure if this is common practice with other recruitment companies but I find it to be very scummy

This comment really hits home with me. I didn't read it, but

reposting good videos gets you a long way I guess. 'karma' isn't very real here or anywhere

Ah yes, the famous benchmark for all LLMs. I just tried your novel example with GPT-3.5 and it couldn't solve it either:

> After lunch, I like to snack on a juicy and crisp apple to satisfy my sweet tooth.

> In the fall, many families enjoy going to apple orchards to pick their own apples and make homemade apple pies.

> The new MacBook Pro features a powerful M1 chip and a stunning Retina display, making it the perfect tool for creative professionals who work with Apple software.

llama.cpp runs on your processor and uses a lot of RAM, so splurging on a GPU isn't going to help the performance
Garrrrrr··on Pi-hole: Network-wide ad blocking
Anon gathered around and hacked Sony back in 2011 (mainly) because of the absorbent information they were gathering from everyone's PlayStation 3 consoles. They never stopped gathering an obscene amount of information from their users, and nether did any other mid-major technology company.

Google knows everything about you/us if you use their services. It's really bad, we know. For some of us that's inescapable because of our careers/jobs, or if we use Google search on our own devices on our networks compared to alternative platforms. Even your smart lightbulbs are gathering data on you. Android (AND Android TV) is Google:
