My Sealion 7 is nicer than my C-Class Mercedes.

Resin is extremely toxic and requires a dedicated area and handling and care.

What an absurd world view.

How are you dealing with the rise of low-cast swarm attacks from drones?

Is it land-based, sea-based or space-based and at what point of the trajectory do you target and do you use jamming?

Meta knowingly runs scam ads, they just charge more to run them: https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/consumer-watchdog-g...

> Reuters also reported that Meta internally projected in 2024 that it would earn about 10% of its overall annual revenue – or $16 billion – from running ads for scams and banned goods, internal company documents show.

At $employer we're CONSTANTLY fighting fake ads cloning our brand. Their various brand protection features seem deliberately inept and ineffective.

The peace of mind it brought not trusting other people's slopped out MCPs to do the right thing with authentication is immense.

It's internal only, but it was a Fable 5 one-shot (3 shot if you count a second prompt to generate the Helm Chart and docs site) that you could DIY because the FastMCP library is extremely sensible and well-documented.

I imagine the buildings there just aren't built to support that heat plus the body height of hundreds or thousands of attendees?

Do that hundreds or thousands of times and you eventually get Z height.

Look up the EufyMake E1 for a consumer/prosumer version.

There also doesn't seem like any real opportunity for them to Apple-ify this tech (any more than today's announcement). There's lots of rough edges and the underlying technology is fundamentally janky and extremely problematic in Apple's second differentiator of privacy.

> > Atherton didn't have to win. A CEQA lawsuit doesn't need a strong legal theory to do damage — it just needs to introduce enough risk that funders freeze and clocks keep running. The delay is the weapon.

In my opinion, this construct is massively overused by LLMs and is extremely jarring to read. The pithy followup "The delay is the weapon." feels like Year 8 Debate Club and is very melodramatic and cringy.

It must be possible to steer the LLM away from this?

In my opinion, this construct is massively overused by LLMs and is extremely jarring to read. The pithy followup "The delay is the weapon." feels like Year 8 Debate Club and is very melodramatic and cringy, which LLMs do a LOT.

There are other spots that stand out, but this is the point where I said to myself "oh this is the point where the author stopped "cowriting" and just pasted the LLM slop directly."

If you hate taxes and fees, Singapore has a 60% Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty on residential property applied to foreign buyers, on top of an already insane property market. There's huge fines and government intervention into _everything_ and a massive high-stress culture.

Hong Kong is equally absurd for property and has a sword hanging over its head, that falls if China ever makes a move on Taiwan; the inevitable US and global sanctions would decimate HK.

Dubai is just a comical option.

The goal that AI-Megacorp CEOs have been pushing lately is "super intelligence" and so if that's where you truly think we are rapidly heading, what's the risk for those of us not hyper-invested in AI? This "super intelligence" (by definition) will be able to understand us both equally well, so all these "prompting skills" people claim sets them apart from people who don't use AI that much will be utterly pointless.

Which is ironically, the exact case those of us who don't find LLM-assisted coding "worth it" make.

Buying their products supports them (and you would expect they hold themselves to even higher standards for the effectiveness of their product than a random company).

This will increase the latency of all traffic to that site though.

There's a large overlap with the crypto true-believers who were convinced after seeing "no blockchain --> blockchain exists" that all laws would be enshrined in the blockchain, all business would be done with blockchains, etc.

We've had automation in the past; it didn't decimate the labour-force; it just changed how people work.

And we didn't go from handwashing clothes --> washing machines --> all flat surfaces are cleaned daily by washing robots...

For the maintainers, does this pull the metadata (e.g Title ID or PKG ID) from the (supported) ROM files directly, or only from the filename? I skimmed the README and Docs and couldn't find a clear answer.

I’m “indifferent” about “roller coasters” and “passionate” about “board games”.

To answer the question (but I’m not OP), I’m skeptical about LLMs. “These words are often near each other” vastly exceeds my expectation at being fairly convincing that the machine “knows” something, but it’s dangerously confident when it’s hilariously incorrect.

Whatever we call the next technological leap where there’s actual knowledge (not just “word statistics” I’ll be less skeptical about.

The 3G shutdown was ...problematic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIJavqEzEIw

It’s astounding that 2 sentences generated this. (I used text-to-image and the prompt for a space marine in power armour produced something amazing with no extra tweaks required).

I was notified by the motion alarm in my driveway and then my front door and was able to hit the Siren button and scare them off.

Without that, I would have had 6 "armed" intruders inside my house with myself+partner+4 year old.

The camera system prevented the crime being far more serious than it would have been (both cars+valuables stolen and maybe a stabbing or 3).

Do an Image Search for "Clothes Railing U Bracket" for example.

LLMs (Current-generation and UI/UX ones at least) will tell you all sorts of incorrect "facts" just because "these words go next to each other lots" with a great amount of gusto and implied authority.
