I have already seen the LLM hallucinate prompts from me - in this case, hallucinating being asked to switch to a different programming language - because it wasn't able to complete the task asked for in a satisfactory way instead of gi

I got excited thinking maybe another one was going to be held, because it was a lot of fun to do! Oh well. If I put my submission up on github, is that considered unethical in the days of LLMs?

This sounds like fun, but I'm not sure how changing build systems fixes the vendor problem. They will just ship their proprietary blobs built on top of this new build system instead of the old one, and will not change other behavior. B

There's a relatively easy technological solution to mold: buy a dehumidifier. We bought two after moving to Ireland. Both have drainage hoses. One has a pump and empties into the kitchen sink, the other has no pump and the drainage hos

I'm not sure if I would have started using Linux but for buying an n800, so thanks for that. We never did get around to our funeral for Nokia, sadly.

It's great marketing! But yes. He considers it an error to specify "Use the same knife for the jelly" even though it's considered correct to state "Wipe the knife clean before using it for jelly". The latter st

Yes, the price is higher, maybe partially because it's not ad-subsidized. I was happy to pay it, this is what I bought: https://www.sharp.eu/sharp-nec-multisync-e868 There's historical speculation that a smart TV

I think this is partially restating "try smarter, not harder" with a lot more words. I also think it's unkind not to recognize that we have limited time and energy and it's simply not possible to address everything all a

With clothes, make it cheap so if you make the wrong decision it's not a big deal. Also recognize you're engaging in the sunk cost fallacy by keeping clothes you don't actually want, and you're making the world better by

I am surprised to see it here too. I find it unkind. Not that you need to hear it from me, but you will be remembered and missed.

I'm not sure any party in office this last term could have won this election, given there was going to be significant inflation as a rebound from COVID.

Yes this is Linux. At this time we don't know exactly how much is affected and what originally drew the attention of the attacker(s).

I wonder if there is anything else cmake related that should be looked at. Wasn't cmake support originally added to xz to use with Windows and MSVC?

My reading of the commit message is they're claiming the "data" should look random.

For bad-3-corrupt_lzma2.xz, the claim was that "the original files were generated with random local to my machine. To better reproduce these files in the future, a constant seed was used to recreate these files." with no indicatio
