- “(The) honest caveat:” (or “genuine caveat:”, both with the colon)

- “(The) honest answer:” (again, with colon)

- “The thing to internalize:”

- “The smoking gun:”

(really, sentences that start with “The <tag suggesting the next clause is the key point>:” are a strong tell, but those four are the most prolific)

- “load bearing” (when not talking about architecture)

- “blast radius” (when not talking about actual explosives, but rather the effect of an event/action)

- “smoke test” (esp. when “sanity check” is more apropos)

- Lists of three clauses/adjectives where the third is really just a combination of the first two

- Referring to the “shape” of things figuratively

- Social media posts that end with “Curious if anyone…”

- Stories or anecdotes using. “Oh. Oh.” (where the second “oh” is italicized)

Edit: Yes, some of those last ones are terms that we often use as devs...but I would argue about the actual frequency of their use. Plus, these tells live on in prose generated by the latest models.

It’s just still so trivial to jailbreak even the latest Anthropic models (via api, and not talking about the silly ENI or Pliny breaks) I don’t understand where the safety teams are doing their work. Is it in the default chat-trained model?

HLA-B27 is directly related to a number of autoimmune disorders, including lupus. I hope this research can expand to other conditions associated with HLA-B27, like psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, etc.

Awesome, thank you!

Now I just want DECTalk ported to MacOS. The original Stephen Hawking voice.

I have an Emic2 board I use (through UART so my ESP32 can send commands to it) and I use Home Assistant to send notifications to it. My family are science nerds like me, so when the voice of Stephen Hawking tells us there is someone at the door, it brings a lot of joy to us.

I've thought about it, but the target market for my project isn't a high growth one; it's US middle school teachers (years 6-8, typically). Public schools aren't exactly flush with cash—individual teachers even less so—and while I (and my school teacher wife) think I'm on to something that would change teachers' lives, I can't imagine a world where that market would lead to a six figure MRR.

Starting to think I need to find grant money rather than startup/seed money.

> "We took steps to protect our users by blocking techniques that exploit fake credentials in order to gain access to iMessage."

They never addressed that part of Apple's statement. I don't see how they can survive without doing so.

The Cree LED bulbs I had years ago had a major buzzing problem. Do you feel like that's still an issue?

I have three weighty Philips bulbs mentioned in the teardown as carriage lights on the exterior of my house. They've been on 24/7 for maybe seven years now.

I played combat ... With my mother. The day we got our 2600. It was accessible, simple, and as a child, made me see my mom in a whole new light. I'm 40 now, but feel like a little boy realizing that his mom is fun whenever I see that game come up.

Thanks for the memory :)

Last I heard, they were doing this to avenge their countrymen. In fact, we don't really know all the whos and the whys, we just know the whats. And what happened was a horrible thing that needs to be investigated, pored over, and responded to in a measured, rational way that doesn't become a nationstate-enabled revenge plot.

Because when it comes to child support, you've been ordered by a judge to pay. Violating a court order is a criminal offense.

There are other ways to manage overburdening debt collections, even court-ordered ones. The situation escalating to incarceration is largely avoidable.
