Calling this a coup is hyper bowl.

I could get behind this AI. I hope they sit in one of the 24h ground steamed warm tomato greenhouses, eating that wierd lamb flatbread I was served. Or Puffin.

I suspect this will be "weaponised" by anti renewable politics to imply RE is the problem. That's the experience here in Australia; Murdoch press in particular headlines any grid instability as "renewable fault" automatically.

> I'm also suspicious of my own ability to accurately recognize LLM voice.

With much sympathy for the headline this is the central problem.

It's not easy to say what Uncanny Valley looks like, and so we're left with suspicion not certainty.

BTW, I am now 4-5 out of hundreds of my comments since AI detection became a thing, called out for having "AI" tone. I fucking hate being objectified like this. It's not true, although I understand that assertion is hard to refute or support. All I can say is, some people write like some people believe an AI writes.

Thank you for a correction. In substance, much of what I said is the same: the path through other languages in particular.

There will be a few people doing "but how do we know" and the answer is (as I understand it) with some uncertainty, structural clues in things like rhymes, where the written form clearly indicates sounds which had to sound alike. If you follow the clues through language shifts over the centuries, you can arrive at a sense which ones preserved the rhyme, and which didn't and a huge amount of inference added in gets you back where you expect things started.

The same with the great vowel shift.

I love Oden! I've had oden in JR train stations, and in fancy posh restaurants with copper beaten flat woodfired bowls to cook it in. Its the best! The turnip is the best bit. ('turnip' sui generis)

In the old Tsukiji market you walked past wooden boxes of the flakes wafting gently in the breeze and saw people milling them with green enamelled powered industrial bench planes, while cooking gas powered market trolleys trundled around, with curious drum like round control panels shifting frozen tuna sides and boxes of abalone. I've never seen those motorised carts anywhere else.

the stuff we buy in packets here in oz must suffer in transit and packaging, they are shattered fragments but they still waft gently in the steam of a bowl of salmon and rice.

The bonito shavings reminded me of the litter around a wood turners lathe. Waste there, but here the point of the exercise.

I think I've had them served as a garnish on Oden. They dance.

If you do this, have at least one backup key (if need be on paper) or a guaranteed alternate path into the hosts you depend on this key to access. Because if the secure enclave is as good as we're told, if you lose access to ->THIS<- secure enclave, its game over for the keys.

Secure enclave protecting Keychain, the keychain is backed up. Not the contents of the enclave.

Too many failed access attempts? poof the key is gone. Could be as low as 10.

(happy to be corrected. This is what I gather from a quick read-around. I was a bit surprised the site didn't seem to discuss this)

Not just PT please. And, pay staff to enforce it.

I don't think that is really true any more. All electronics includes a substantial amount of Chinese sourced inputs but I believed actual manufacturing is taking place on Ukranian soil of metal and plastic parts. Of small jet engines as well.

I see what I did there. I mistook the absence of the CSS grey bar, for the complete text of the article. That's on me. You are right, this does not render the entire content visible to me. Were I an AI I'd say something like "you're absolutely right" but I'm not, so I'm going to add a specious double dash -- and slink away.

(sorry. I really did think I was reading the entire piece. It looks like what I see is their occasional seeding of freemium content which is long form and from their back numbers)

In firefox? Strange, I just used it to read the full text of a piece about botched executions.
