Not as interesting as it seems when compared with the original data. The needle only moved a few percent over the last two years.

Data from the article for how fast the leaked passwords can be cracked. First percentage is 2024. Second is 2026.

Less than a minute 45% 48% Less than an hour 59% (+14%) 60% (+12%) Less than 24 hours 67% (+8%) 68% (+8%) Less than a month 73% (+6%) 74% (+6%) Less than a year 77% (+4%) 77% (+3%) More than a year 23% 23%

Not sure countries will ban the glasses. Can say I was very quick to have boards putting through policy stating staff are not allowed to wear these (or most others) on business grounds for specific sectors I work with. They didn't realize how bad it was until I started pulling articles out.

You can drink snake venom without being harmed (provided you have no ulcers or cuts in your mouth). Stomach acid will break down the proteins in the venom so they no longer have impact.

Don't know if that's the kind of fact you're going for, but now you know.

On the other hand, I have near 0 ability for coding. A few semesters in different languages back in college, but never even compiled a single project back then. Enter vibe coding. I need an app that does a basic task and can run under a computer’s system account without full GUI. From know nothing to running exe took me two lunch breaks.

Already decided I’m done. 100% for the keyboard. Don’t care everything else I have is Apple. I’ll update my home infra to replace icloud. Going to the new Samsung Galaxy when it hits later this month.

I found it far too expensive for Anthropic. Entire context of every conversation is sent each time you type anything. Switched to a local model running from Ollama. Not quite as smart as opus, but good enough for my needs.

Not a fair analogy. It’s all about the effort invested. If I hand AI “write me something funny about my dog” and get the song from that, slop. If I carefully detail my own lyrics and define line by line how I want it rendered, not slop. Unless my lyrics are terrible :)

It’s a tool. The question is how you use it.

I honestly wouldn’t call Suno “AI slop” at this point. Yes, there’s a ton of garbage coming out of it. But you can also create some really detailed and intricate songs if you do it right. I’ve made some really nice duets and trios for example. Cloned from a real voice, no… but I’m also not getting sued for stealing a real person’s voice.

And some of their upcoming features which aren’t generally known yet are going to be really useful to creators.

The free account and the entry paid account both say 100 credits a month… is that a typo? I’d be disappointed unlocking full AI abilities only to have the same limit as free.

Something to listen in on live calls seems kinda creepy to be honest and would be abused far past your use case.

I’ve used RoboKiller before for myself. It did a fantastic job at nuking most every spam call. Maybe that would work for you?

I’ve hit twice over the last year where it was needed. Though in one case, it’s because a server that was physically old enough to vote happened to be handling dhcp and dns. I set the other, only slightly less old, server to be primary on both but left the original functioning just in case with failed.

The main need I had was for a bank. Network functionality is obviously highly important there. Windows updates impacted the dhcp service on one server, which wasn’t an obvious thing till leases started running out the following morning. Multiple DC’s, so set up for HA to avoid issues in the future. It’s almost never needed but great to have when total uptime is key to operations.

If you shared the chat at any point, it can be discovered by others. ChatGPT has also had at least one bug in the past where users were able to see the chats of others. So yeah, even if paid or over API, it’s not a good idea to trust it with sensitive information.

Having years of direct interaction working in the vet field, some skepticism is warranted. Ignoring the lack of studies, I’ve had drug reps explain how the three year and one year rabies vaccines are actually the exact same shot made from the same batch. It just costs a good bit less to license some of it as one year. And they can technically charge a little more for it so buying it over three years is a greater gain than the single three-year shot.

Past that special bit of marketing, we’re also lacking in studies of dog/cat titers to have a good understanding of when/if booster shots are needed for animals. There’s a decent set of vets who believe it is a lot more like humans where it’s make it through the initial series and you’re good for life vs needing the yearly updates. Bordatella is likely the most abused booster with some boarding facilities requiring a booster every 6 months for animals while even the vets usually state yearly.

To be clear, vaccines are good and should be used. The unclear question is if they really need to be yearly for animals.

This actually looked helpful for my side hobby. But then the test it now for free option was straight to “log in with google.” I don’t have Google. 95% of the companies I take care of don’t have Google (though to be fair on that, the MSP I’m with optimizes towards 365). If there’s not a basic “create an account with your email and not some sso tie” it’s a hard stop for me.

I like comet. Haven’t tried Altas so can’t give the best comparison. But comet is pretty transparent on how it handles data and lets you hand it a list of domains you want it having 0 access to.

Having said that, I’m still not convinced using it the last two weeks that it’s better than Brave. It’s a little slower and tries to direct more of what I search than I’d like through perplexity (I’m sure I could change the default search engine but I guess I’m also lazy and never looked).

As tightly as these companies watch for anything that could be a violation of their trademark, I highly doubt you’ll find a single tld where you manage to register something with nvidia in the name and not lose it.
