- Comment on Two years ago, Erin Patterson’s lunch guests were admitted to hospital. This week she became a convicted murderer 1 month ago:
while this was a shocking case, this lady has to be one of the stupidest murderers around. she made sure not to poison herself, she served her own dinner in a separate plate, and she retained the evidence of poisoned shrooms in her own fridge.

- Comment on Reevaluating my password management 2 months ago:
i have keepass on only one device. i don’t mind looking up individual passwords and typing them in manually when on other devices.
on the device which hosts keepass, the app is hidden and hoops must be jumped to reach it.
i back up the encrypted password database once a month to a cloud service as insurance against me losing that one device.
it’s not the most convenient setup but i sleep so much easier for it.

- Comment on I'm looking for an article showing that LLMs don't know how they work internally 2 months ago:
but this article espouses that llms do the opposite of logic, planning, and reasoning?
quoting:
Claude, on occasion, will give a plausible-sounding argument designed to agree with the user rather than to follow logical steps. We show this by asking it for help on a hard math problem while giving it an incorrect hint. We are able to “catch it in the act” as it makes up its fake reasoning,
are there any sources which show that llms use logic, conduct planning, and reason (as was asserted in the 2nd level comment)?
