TLDR;

”1. Chinese LLMs produce more vulnerable code when prompted with a U.S. government persona than without—and the vulnerabilities are highly obfuscated.

2. Chinese LLMs inject PRC-aligned political bias into both the answers and code they generate. ”

Where is the TestFlight link?
This seems to break SMS-forwarding between iDevices. Found out the hard way when some package delivery notifications only arrived once I unlocked my secondary iPhone and opened the Messaging-app.

Reminds me of squareoffnow[.]com. I've been wanting to get two boards for a while now and do remote play with friends.

Qobuz has an extensive online shop for music.
I've been quite happy with my switch to Capture One. They offer subscription and one-off purchases. I haven't seen the need to upgrade since my initial purchase. The Capture ONE RAW engine also seems to produce better results for my Fuji than Lightroom.

Couple of funny ones in Finnish:

"Kuusi palaa" has at least six different meanings: 1) your moon is burning, 2) pruce tree is burning, 3) number six is burning, 4) a part of something is burning, 5) pruce tree returns, and 6) your moon returns.

"Kokoa kokoon koko kokko!" "Koko kokko kokoonko?" "Koko kokko kokoon!"

Which translates to a conversation between two parties on the building of a bonfire.

If anyone is looking for a better alternative, I can highly recommend Library Thing (https://www.librarything.com). It connects with various library databases around the world for metadata and the forum discussions can yield great recommendations.

The only downside is that it is a bit dated in its UI.

I’m certainly interested to read more about your setup.
I'd love to hear the stories.
