Thinking they can get away with it was involved.

However, the witness only identified Parra based on superficial features, including “the jacket and the beard” and “the skin color,” the police report said, according to the Times of San Diego.

Isn’t that what got them in prison to begin with?

Even hacking is an AI-backed service nowadays…

Input tokens are cheap. Output tokens are the thing that really costs money. There is a Claude extension called caveman that tries to save tokens by making it use shorter sentences with less words. So if you want to waste money, do the opposite - ask it to use lengthy sentences with as much words as possible.

Also - some words amount to multiple tokens. I don’t know what the rules are exactly, but I’m assuming that more complex and uncommon words are worth more tokens - and thus waste more money.

How does Portal 2 have ping? Isn’t this a multiplayer mechanism?

You can’t just tell the Japanese to not use robots.

You’re saying it like it’s a bad thing.

Half the country? In that case, wouldn’t it make more sense to build two data centers?

This. The original Steam Controller did not meet the de-facto standard baseline for controller layout established by the first DualShock^[1] that games have learned to expect and build their control schemes around.

The Steam Controller 2 does have everything in that layout. It’s modeled after the Deck’s layout, which is quite good.

New PornHub tag discovered

Anecdote: there is this annual event called Hacktoberfest for promoting OSS contribution. It offers various merchandise as reward for PRs that get merged as part of the event. A few years back, someone posted a YouTube video trying to promote the event, and demonstrated how to to create a PR by going to some repository and adding some arbitrary text to the README.

What he wanted to convey: “this is the procedure for sending contributions”

What people understood: “you can win a free t-shirt by making small changes to non-code text”

The result: https://joel.net/how-one-guy-ruined-hacktoberfest2020-drama

LLMs did not create this problem. The desire to make bullshit contributions in order to be seen as contributing seems to a basic human need. At least - for some humans. Generative AI did make it so much worse, though, because it’s so good at bullshitting that you have to waste time and spend mental resources in order to recognize the bullshit.

That’s what happens when you are renting your very skills from a company. You’ll hone nothing and you’ll be happy.

I wouldn’t use the word “robbery”.

I’d use the word “murder”.

When Vance tells a Pope to be careful, that Pope should be careful. You know, considering Vance’s established track record with Popes…

they’re simply requiring any code submitted by AI be tagged as such so that the human using the agent is ultimately responsible for any infringing code, instead of allowing that code go undisclosed

This makes zero sense, because the article says that this new tagging will replace the legally binding “Signed-off-by” tag. Wouldn’t that old tag already put that responsibility on the person submitting the code.

Also - what will holding the submitter responsible even achieve? If an infringement is detected, the Linux maintainers won’t be able to just pass all the blame to the submitter of that code while keeping it in the codebase - they’ll have to remove the infringing code regardless of who’s responsible for putting it in.

Okay, but they are not just paying more for the same service. YouTube Premium is worth more now because it allows you to avoid 90 second unstoppable ads. So don’t say Google doesn’t do anything for its consumers customers!

Telemetry was not designed for such pings, which messes up everything else.

I mean… not you you… but someone in shape could.

Won’t they just become space debris and remain in orbit?
