Lots of comments about the questionable choices of this person regarding disclosing all this information. To add to the pile, they got a friend fired from McDonalds, and don't seem particularly bothered about it... https://bobdahacker.com/blog/mcdonalds-security-vulnerabilit...

Apple and Google insist their walled gardens are needed for user safety and security, but they can't even catch popular apps violating their own policies. It casts (even more) doubt on their ability to screen for malware, phishing, etc, which are already rampant.
I’d also like to point out that those Kingston A400’s are notoriously terrible and had a firmware bug that caused the behaviour you describe if you don’t update it before it happens.
I purchased 10 genuine new from a verified vendor and 6 had to be RMA’d within the first year.
agreed, I don't think the drive is fake, they're just that bad. Only SSD I've ever had fail spontaneously on me (the one other SSD failiure was my fault for accidentally unplugging it during a firmware update).
I do wonder what these people's thought process is, to want to make gay marriage illegal. I grew up in a Christian household, and definitely used to be homophobic, as a sort of default. But once I was old enough to think for myself (I think around ~14 or so), I considered the issue and realised I was being stupid. My reasoning was, if people of the same gender want to be together, it doesn't affect me and is none of my business. I went from a vague, abstract dissaproval/discomfort to not caring, or a vague 'good for you' sentiment.
The entire thing has had me wondering ever since, when people who should be capable of learning better (i.e, not surrounded solely by bigots that prevent them re-considering/speaking up) are homophic, transphobic, racist, etc, what is going on inside their head? Have they just never given it thought? Like, what does a rational argument against homosexuality look like? I have always been forced to conclude that bigotry is irrational on the level of full-on delusion.

Indeed.
Here's one for you: There's a 10–15% chance, even barring radical life extension tech, that I'll live long enough to see the moon completely disassembled by von Neumann replicators.
Dismantling the moon would disrupt the Earth's orbit, so the most likely version of this scenario is not beneficial/benign (e.g, grey goo scenario), so you need to factor in the chance that you'll be dissasembled before you see it happen to the moon.
Member states will implement this into national law. So in the case they will need to implement a maximum of one year or more (but not less). The final law as applied by a judge will just read "punishable by a maximum of [i.e.] fourteen months".
> maximum of one year or more
If the max is one year, it can't be more?
I was never "taught to read", one of my earliest memories was being gifted a old trunk filled with comic books from a cousin's return from Vietnam. Several hundred comics, many of them dating back to the early 60's, the time this occurred was 1969. Everything from all the DC/Marvel, Donald Duck, European comics, the oversized and banned horror comics with nudity, and of course a shit load of underground comics like the Freak Bros, and more.
When school started, kindergarten, I knew how to read. I had a kid's novel with me I was reading, something like "Mrs Frisby & the rats of NIMN".
I don't remember learning to read, or a time in my life where I couldn't read at least a bit. As best I can figure I began reading before my episodic memory fully developed.
I do wonder how I managed to learn anything just by reading on my own though. There were certainly words and concepts I didn't understand (I have a vivid memory of reading a childrens science book that explained the big bang, and misinterpreting it as 'the universe started when the sun exploded'. I noticed the logical inconsistency but didn't pursue it), but I can't think of any instances where those gaps in my knowledge were filled by someone else and I had an 'aha' moment of understanding. I guess we do a lot of learning without realising it.

Huh, just realised my team did this organically without realising it. People were often hesitant to ask questions they perceived as 'dumb' in the group chat, and definitely unwilling to post anything seen as complaining/moaning about problems. We created a second chat without any managers in it, with a description clarifying it was a dumping ground for questions and comments that didn't fit in other chats. It sees a small but steady flow of use, mostly questions that people probably should know, but can't remember the answer/process of the top of their head, and the occasional slightly less-than-professional complaint or criticism about a service/tool/process. My favourite part is that I can actually discuss things in there - in the main chat, once the question is answered/problem is solved, if we keep chatting about it it's seen as clutter/distraction. I think it's beneficial to have an outlet for these things.
> Painting by hand just doesn’t have the same appeal anymore when a single concept can just appear and you shape it into the thing you want with your code review and editing skills.
In the meanwhile one the most anticipated game in the industry, a second chapter of an already acclaimed product, has its art totally hand painted
I think it's two schools of thought, end product vs process. It seems a lot of people who like AI only care about getting the end product, and don't care how it was made. On the other hand, some people are invested in how something is made, and see the process of creation and refinement as a part of the end product itself.

I think a lot of these issues could be worked around by having the working state backed up after each step (e.g, make a git commit or similar). The LLM should not have any information about this backup process in its context or access to it, so it can't 'get confused' or mess with it.
LLMs will never be 100% reliable by their very nature, so the obvious solution is to limit what their output can affect. This is already standard practice for many forms of user input.
A lot of these failures seem to be by people hyped about LLMs, anthropomorphising and thus being overconfident in them (blaming the hammer for hitting your thumb).
