I assume he intended to say “War” as the first word instead of peace.

He was thinking about his “Board of peace” and the wrong word slipped out.

If you hang out with elderly folks that are slipping, you get used to figuring out the word they actually meant and how the wrong word got there.

My guess is that they have email hooks into LLM and call each entry point into LLM invocation an ‘agent’ and I have seen in a lot of companies the easiest way for them to have an email is to just add them to the directory.

It’s still dumb as hell, but I am no stranger to non-human’s in an ‘employee directory’, though usually it is supremely obvious that it is a non-person so if it’s at all confusing it means they are being ‘cute’ about their accounts.

They think they are portraying the subject as ‘weak’. It’s for their racist base to feel like ‘right on, we made a weak black leftist woman cry, like they all deserve’'.

It was never about making her less sympathetic, but a celebration of hurting the ‘correct’ people to get hurt.

Actually, they weren’t quiet, they were vocally expressing their support for ICE…

because they cornered and manipulated the hardware market

Makes me think of the ‘First Time?’ meme but with the housing market wearing the noose.

Yeah, very good analogy actually…

I remember back in the day people putting stuff like ‘Microsoft Word’ under ‘skills’. Instead of thinking ‘oh good, they will be able to use Word competently’, the impression was ‘my god, they think Word is a skill worth bragging about, I’m inclined to believe they have no useful skills’.

‘Excel skills’ on a resume is just so vague, people put it down when they just figured out they can click and put things into a table, some people will be able to quickly roll some complicated formula, which is at least more of a skill (I’d rather program a normal way than try to wrangle some of the abominations I’ve seen in excel sheets).

Using an LLM is not a skill with a significant acquisition cost. To the extent that it does or does not work, it doesn’t really need learning. If anything people who overthink the ‘skill’ of writing a prompt just end up with stupid superstitions that don’t work, and when they first find out that it doesn’t work, they just grow new prompt superstitions to add to it to ‘fix’ the problem.

Yes, because Microsoft’s revenue growth is in fact the most important thing the folks at Davos had to think about…

Sure, but as yet he remains the mouthpiece.

If he either falls apart or even worse, somehow grows a conscience, then they will isolate him and speak on his behalf.

I’ll agree to disagree, but surprised as I thought strange new worlds was pretty consistent with a traditional Star Trek…

Because all the President has to do is say “Naw, I’m good”

Or, historically, his wife claims he’s good, but can’t speak to anyone directly, so she would talk with him away from everyone and come back with his feedback.

I predict Stephen Miller would be the one to assume that role this time.

Getting a dns name is straightforward enough, and let’s encrypt to get a tla cert…

But for purely internal services that you didn’t otherwise want to publish extremely, the complexity goes way up (either maintain a bunch of domain names externally to renew certificates and use a private DNS to point them to the real place locally, or make your own CA and make all the client devices enroll it. Of course I’m less concerned about passkeys internally.

Given how much they hate being “woke”, does that mean “sleepy Joe” was actually a compliment?

The point is that eggs are usually one of the cheapest options for the nutritional value.

If you skip them because they are too expensive, then you are probably not getting good nutrition.

If you are eating other options that are more expensive, well then sure the cost doesn’t matter as much.

But with bird flu being a thing the egg prices are going to be volatile, and generally nothing to do with the presidential administration one way or the other. Need a “basket of goods” to get a more useful picture.

That you can’t plug into a traditional computer and that has not even pads for a video connector to be soldered to.

Folks just don’t realize how exotically different they have ultimately made the GPU packaging for datacenters. B200/B300 come in very specific packaging that is nowhere near a PCIe card.

Nuke it from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure

Broadly speaking, the private keys can be protected.

For ssh, ssh-agent can retain the viable form for convenience while leaving the ssh key passphrase encrypted on disk. Beyond that your entire filesystem should be further encrypted for further offline protection.

Passkeys as used in webauthn are generally very specifically protected in accordance with the browser restrictions. For example, secured in a tpm protected storage, and authenticated by pin or biometric.

For ssh, ssh keys.

For https, webauthn is the way to do it, though services are relatively rare, particularly for self hosting, partly because browsers are very picky about using a domain name with valid cert, so browsers won’t allow them by ip or if you click through a self signed cert

Because if they can make for consumers, then there’s a shit ton of investor money waiting for some tech bro to turn it into ‘AI’.

The tech industry companies are playing with nigh unlimited house money, consumers can’t compete.

Though that supply will be a bit annoying.

Oh look, super expensive GPUs… In an HGX board that is useless for even connecting to a PC, let alone have graphics.

Memory modules, but they are HBM or otherwise soldered to a Grace board…

SSDs, but EDSFF… Guess at least a cage for this could be some for home usage.

HDDs, but SAS. Not too or of reach for home builds, but still not as likely to just plug into home gear as SATA.

Yeah, they bought a modest, niche product with a likely viable business case, and then bet they could make it an everyman’s device for all their socializing and experiencing events like sports and music…

The people that actually wanted the device got to take a back seat to them chasing non-existent markets for it… Their aspirations so impossibly high that a niche device could no longer justify itself against the money spent chasing that non-existant market… So something that should have been for some VR nerds to be happy and sustain the business while the rest of the world shrugs and say ‘I don’t get it’ becomes an ‘Obviously this is a failure of a concept and no one should bother doing this’.
