There was a good talk some years ago at some of the CCC events where some guy found out that scanners sometimes change numbers on forms.

That's a thing I always marvel about - how LLMs are so versatile and do so much stuff so good that was out of reach just some years ago

As someone whos commit message are: fix, fix again, this hopefully works, again.

I am sure AI cannot even glims the frustration I feel committing these commits.

You can argue, that these messages are as poor as the code that I have written; but don't tell me you haven't been there -- and if you have please tell me your secret

Before the rise of the llms there was a post here on hn where someone explained how to use all the dashes — sadly llms took them from us

Yes - this is exactly the problem. Big Corporations, like Microsoft, the owner of Github, can shut you out. If you lose access to your E-Mail, or anything connected with your Microsoft Account (or Google Account) you will lose access to a lot of services that relie on it. And if you keep your source code with Microsoft and Microsoft only, you can lose access to it too.

Yes, but they work differently. Due to their decentralised nature there is not one switch they can turn to shut off their services or programmes. US companies can be ordered to stop their services for certain organisations, individuals or states

In The 2022 Invasion of Russia into the Ukraine Tanks played an important role in the offensive and the counter-offensive especially around Kyiv, Mariupol, Severodonetsk, and Avdiivka

It is time for an emdash manifesto

All true, and I would still have to deal with Office files. Wasn't it an EU regulation that forced Microsoft to make it's file format publicly accessible?

This is the same as telling me, that I could just leave the EU and only have to never interact with them or one of its citizens to not be effected by their rules, and since travelling is easier then ever why wouldn't this be an easier option?

I read and read and it totally reminded me of Valis

Size the means of computation?

At least in the EU people have some kind of vote. But I can't vote for not having OneDrive my default saving space for documents.

All fun and games until you have to settle something in court

I wonder what the ad costs and why it's there in the first place

While most people may not see breaking the speed limit as the primary purpose of their car, the way cars are designed, especially marketed and used in everyday life normalizes and even encourages exceeding posted speeds. This makes speeding not an edge case, but a central, majority use case in practice.

Ok, that's not actually what I believe, I don't even know if you could make this argument. This is just for the arguments sake, sorry.

Cars and speed limits then? Most if not all cars will violate the speed limit - without them it is also virtual impossible to break them

I've been trying to use the latest versions of LLMs to analyze a target for scoring, but it's completely outside their current capabilities and hasn't worked. Additionally, the app doesn't seem to be available in Germany.

How can I get in touch with you?

Are there models that accurately register bullet impacts and calculate scores on shooting targets?

Ok for someone that came late to the party - what is digg?

"Humancentric technology at the edge" - love this in my sci-fi books but what does it do?

That's already over ten years ago... Wow CS:GO is still the new CS for me, that never catched on and everybody played 1.6

I always wanted to play around with this. It's like a FIDO2 Stick everybody has.

But then again, who wants to use their ID card for some trivial non government site just to create an account

I am talking about the German AusweisApp:

https://github.com/Governikus/AusweisApp

I think it does not know. The app is open source and it just sends the Boolean. The government just gives out the id cards - they are not involved in the verification process

I love semicolons and dashes. AI won't take them from me!

CEN and CENELEC

When did this become acceptable?

If you had installed btfs and something like this happend people would be all over the place, but on windows this is normal

I use Ansible and can run Keycloak and yet I still recommended O365. Initially, I appreciated the convenience and the integrated suite, but I'm starting to regret it.

In recent months, Microsoft's reliability has noticeably declined. At this point, I'm just inches away from switching the entire org to LibreOffice and Fedora.

Not Op, but I liked the em dash; I read an article here some years ago on when to use which and it is quite accessible on the phone; even made a Linux shortcut for it. I hope the semicolon won't be flagged as well ;)

You should try Finnegans Wake. At this point, Joyce feels less like a literary giant and more like an elaborate inside joke among a select few.
