How I discovered a hidden microphone on a Chinese NanoKVM

Yeah you 100% have the right of this. Not a secret at all and very clearly documented on their github.

Conrroversial
If I pushed an albatross down a well and attached a crab to it to harrass it on the way down it would also fall, despite being a fantastic winged flier.
Imagine them with wings ill suited to vertical flight and hovering, but very fast in the sky while soaring, and with the endurance to keep going for hours.
It's my headcannon, but I give Gandalf points for forcing the fighter jet into a helicopter arena.

Prompt engineer : The Hottest AI Job of 2023 Is Already Obsolete
"New York Life all said they’ve never hired prompt engineers, but instead found that—to the extent better prompting skills are needed—it was an expertise that all existing employees could be trained on."
Are you telling me that the jobs invented to support a bullshit technology that lies are themselves ALSO bullshit lies?
How could this happen??

I think it has less to do with their product and more to do with backroom executive bullshit manipulating stock prices, but that's just an armchair opinion.

This is why you don't walk around assuming you understand things well enough to solve people's problems for them.

Rock and Stone
Can someone explain the fourth panel? What's the significance of the big red X and why is the background a pair of idiot knife ears making out in that wooden hellscape? I know it's nauseating to look at their weird bald faces for too long but I'd appreciate the help. Probably some human nonsense.

Conveniently, this could be a path to competence for those juniors in the long term.

New Ways to Corrupt LLMs: The wacky things statistical-correlation machines like LLMs do – and how they might get us killed
This is super interesting from a jailbreaking standpoint, but also if there are 'magic numbers or other inputs' for each model that you can insert to strongly steer behavior in nonmalicious directions without having to build a huge ass prompt. Also has major implications for people trying to use LLMs for 'analysis' that might be warping the output tokens in unexpected directions.
Edit: (I may be extropolating that this behavior can be triggered without finetuning to some degree based on just prompts which is outside the scope of the paper but interesting to think about)
Also, this comment was pretty good.

I am tired of all my friends viewing me as a child.
she viewed all of her peers as children since she felt she had more lived experience which is fine
That's not fine. Her lived experience doesn't seem to be translating to maturity at a rate worth bragging about whether the claim is true or not. The foundation of any healthy relationship is respect. I think that whether you want to confront anyone about these events or not, you would benefit from seeking out mutually respectful relationships.
Consider whether her actions can really be caused by a fault of yours if she belittles almost everyone in the same way.

Bosses really want AI to work, because they really, really want to fire you.

I think that this is a very reasonable point on it's face, but the knife only ever seems to cut one way. Do you have an example of a business that has meaningfully grown due to AI instead of the deluge of layoffs that get printed in articles every day?
I think people are reacting to what they DO see in real life, and the idea that it COULD result in more jobs... only seems to show up in discussions. I'm obviously not asking for an example the same scale as all the tech companies laying off 100,000s of people and blaming AI, but whatever proof has informed your opinion would go a long way towards supporting your point in a way that debating can't.

Why is "vodafone" trying to log in to my hawke-uno account? In the past 3 days they've tried and failed 3 times already, not to mention my account has been recently disabled for inactivity
Low effort speculation:
That's a vodaphone portugal IP, but this is likely traffic routing though their customer cellular network and not their corporate. It's possible that someone in PT has a similar username for this service and is fat fingering it. It's also possible that you're seeing a tiny sliver of a larger attack.
Spur.us tracks that IP as an egress point for openproxy and windscribe ResIP networks so it's worth considering that the origin of the authentications you're seeing may not be Portuguese cellphone but someone hiding behind those services.
Here's a paper describing the difficulties such a service creates for folks trying to secure accounts with traditional IP reputation based rules. "Resident Evil: Understanding Residential IP Proxy as a Dark Service" https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8835239
Shooting in the dark for how a bad actor would monetize account takeover for this service if this is in fact an attack.... They could try to sell your invitation to that private tracker. They could also look to scoop up a bunch of folks to try and blackmail based on what victims are download/seeding. Other more creative options I'm not thinking of might be on the table.
