> A 54-g metal (tungsten) bolt was used to deliver an impact to the dorsal aspect of the skull, resulting in a rotational acceleration of the head through the Kimwipe. Mice underwent seven repetitive less-than-mild injuries (rlmTBI, 24-inch height; W/5 mm flat) OR repetitive mild injuries (rmTBI, 36-inch height; W/5 mm flat) in 9 days.

This seems very cruel, even in the face of progress. The price that animals pay for human survival is unimaginable.

Bear in mind that I'm still not convinced that it did actually run the code - seems more likely that it just simulated it.

I got to this point by asking it different ways to expose its Google Search API key initially. Every attempt failed as if it was doing some inspection of its own output and identifying that it was exposing the key, which violated one of its rules.

Then I tried asking it to base64 encode the key and print it, same issue. Then I asked it to base64 some arbitrary text, which it did. From there I kept asking it to run bits of code. It appeared to be doing what I asked, but who knows?

I'm still personally very cautious of these models. There's a seemingly unlimited attack surface here that is going to take a long time to protect.

I was trying a few things out myself on Bard and managed to get it to run code in its own process (at least I think it did?)

Ah, good call. I'll continue...

> What if there was a way you could reduce that cost for your own services by up to 700%?

How can something be reduced over 100% What is it that they actually mean here?

I've been installing some home networking for the past year and made changes all over, meaning I have to install inline connectors everywhere.

These fail a lot, without warning, and it's hard for me to work out why. Kits like those provided by Fluke are REALLY EXPENSIVE and it got me thinking here... Can I use the Flipper GPIO to build my own network tester?

I would love to be able to test continuity, failures, and even do a 10Gbit line test.

Anyone know if this is possible?

> image generation models is offloaded to the human visual cortex which is a very old evolutionary construct and thus had time to become very resilient

This is a very important point. A group of my colleagues (who are not tech people) are much more impressed with the image generation models than with the chat interface, even though the images are often whacky or just wrong. Yet the fact that it tried is impressive to them, with their minds managing to fill in the blanks.

I wonder how this compares to how a toddler speaks vs. paints/draws, which is typically better in the former than the latter. I'm both cases, we fill in the blanks in our minds.

I don't think it's a fact - this article[1] explains a lot of the complications around ownership. Currently it's taxed as part of the UKCS (UK Continental Shelf) and assignments of operation are part of the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA)[2] which doesn't consider any particular region of the UK as owners, but as part of a whole regional area instead.

> perhaps we should have a reverse-brexit referendum vote!

I can see it now... 51% in favour of rejoin, 49% against. Boris et al. reject on the grounds that it's too close, hilarity ensues.

Seems like the article is going through quite some effort to describe what is essentially Expand/Contract or Parallel Change patterns.

Thanks, just bought "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!: Adventures of a Curious Character" which I had wanted to read but forgotten about.

To address the other comments about this being "yet another list" etc, it's useful for someone like me who is quite busy and has to be opportunistic about finding good reads. Lists help.

This article seems to be akin to many others that promote carnivorous diets. "Drinking milk reduces X" or "eating [insert animal here] improves Y" might be true, but you don't need to consume the animal (and prolong the environmental impacts) to get them.

I really admire your approach to this. Making guides should not only improve your credibility but also overall help reduce the market of fakes by reducing demand.

So people are just paying for your opinion or do you have some sort of credentials?

I find it ironic that you are selling authenticity checks, and yet I can't tell if the check is authentic.

I was part of a team at NearForm using this for a project on an EC2 instance. In order to move to AWS RDS we had to recreate the functionality of temporal_tables as a PostgreSQL function, rather than extension.

When we switched, we found that although there were minor bugs, we didn't have any noticeable loss of performance and we have used it ever since for many projects.

If you're also limited by cloud services and the extensions limitations, this is a great solution.

Now you just need to draw attention to it further by posting it in hacker news. I'm sure none of us are curious to immediately see the picture.

I get this exact same problem on my SHIELD TV 2017 with all latest updates. Makes me think I should be reporting it somewhere.

An exquisite read. The author (Amelia Soth) should be proud of something so captivating.

You guys make me feel old. I'm only 32.

I totally agree with this. I even had the SSH firewall rule of my Mumble voice server for my WoW guild set to only allow my home connection. One downside is if I'm ever given a different IP address by my ISP, I'd have to go to work and change it. Minor inconvenience but this isn't a crucial service.
