Who's ignoring hallucinations? It gets brought up in basically every conversation about LLMs.
- Comment on Elon Musk laid off the Tesla Supercharger team; now he’s rehiring them 5 months ago:
Should just start referring to them as part time jobs. How much work can they be if he's supposedly doing multiple at once?

I do the same but I use years instead.
- Comment on The RTS genre will never be mainstream unless you change it until it's 'no longer the kind of RTS that I want to play,' says Crate Entertainment CEO 5 months ago:
Because too much of SC2's design catered to the progamer crowd that liked that kind of stuff. They made some things easier from an APM standpoint but intentionally added more things to make the have not APM intense.
They really bet wrong on how popular that approach would be.
- Comment on Did the premise of an entity approaching you only when it's not being viewed originate with Doctor Who's Weeping Angels? 5 months ago:
It's kind of an inversion of "don't look back", which is thousands of years old.

Yes, you create virtual nics tied to the physical one.

In larger networks VLANs let you do network segmentation across switches, which you can't really do otherwise.
I wouldn't bother at home.
- Comment on Google mocks Epic’s proposed reforms to end Android app market monopoly 6 months ago:

It just takes an additional warning acknowledgement.
Google isn’t fully stopping sideloaded apps from using accessibility services, though. Once you’ve run into the dialog saying that accessibility services are restricted for the app in question, you can activate access under the app info screen in the top right corner via the “allow restricted settings” menu entry, so if you’re a power user interested in augmenting your phone with a legitimate app, you can still do that. This seems like a loophole that nefarious apps could circumvent by instructing users to enable restricted settings. Thus, it’s possible that Google will still change this behavior before going live with stable Android 13.

Things like screen reader access have huge potential uses by malware. Generally it should not be trivial for a program to get that level of access to everything you do.

An EAC RCE 0-day would be worth a lot of money to nation states or organized crime.

You've never had the location or direction be incorrect in Google Maps?

The location tracking on my phone is in no way precise enough to determine this info.
- Comment on Tesla starts shipping $3,000 Cybertruck tent, looks nothing like what was unveiled | Electrek 8 months ago:
Agreed, the original was a stupid design. This is much more realistic looking and looks 'fine'. Though it doesn't look like it's worth 3 grand either...
