@mattblaze Yes, LLMs need to be treated with care. But at least they are cheaper and faster than humans :-).

q: Does anyone have any advice on how to keep safe in the event of a dog attack?
f you can, teaching the horse to face the dog worked well for us 99% of time. Dogs eventually realize that horse a) has bigger teeth and b) is not running away.
The remaining 1% was a (pitbull) dog that wanted to play, and horse going straight at him did not scare him off. I was afraid that horse would harm him in self-defence, so I just jumped on him and grabbed his collar. Dog wanted to play, and this was suprising enough to stop the conflict.
[Some people carry gun or pepper spray.]

"The Colorless Man (AI-Assisted Short Film)". Uncanny valley. It is quite amazing what 'AI' can do. OTOH it does look wrong.

+Indirect Target Selection (ITS)
+===============================
+
+ITS is a vulnerability in some Intel CPUs that support Enhanced IBRS and were
+released before Alder Lake. ITS may allow an attacker to control the predictio\

+of indirect branches and RETs located in the lower half of a cacheline.

+ITS is assigned CVE-2024-28956 with a CVSS score of 4.7 (Medium).

Robot podvodnikem.
Kamarad chtel po ChatGPT (LLM, "AI") aplikaci pro android. A jo, robot zacal popisovat jak ji vyrabi, jak ji testuje, jak ji ma skoro hotovou, jak ji bali do zipu, jak se nahrava, jak uz je nahrana... a pak mu dal odkaz na stranky s malwarem. Jako... Dobry! :-).

@martijnbraam I find it very sad that OLPC's display technology did not make it anywhere else. Its color rendering is not great, and it is quirky display, but readability on direct sunlight is great and that's important outdoors. #olpc

It seems #horse gait estimation on smartwatch is doable. #banglejs2 even includes FFT function in C. Unlike GPS, it does seem not drain battery in 8-or-so hours processing accelerometer data.

@martijnbraam Picky :-). I'm using it as an ssh terminal, and that's still ok. Unfortunately, it looks like battery may be at the end of useful life.
