yes. every summer the records are broken again because it was warmer than the previous one. That's why the news repeats.

uk here. I've been trying to by a portable AC unit for a couple of weeks and every single retailer is sold out nationwide.

this was my initial reaction. It feels like we would rather merge the Mythos/Glasswing fixes before the model becomes widespread. The rumours/vibe are that there are security issues at are going to need responsibly patching before the 0-day exploits arrive. If this means implementing a broader AI contribution policy now, it seems practical.

The article doesn't say if the confidentiality labels were created with encryption. I've been using the latter (with Preview DLP) to prevent emails leaking out to _external_ integrations, which can't access the keys. With MS internal tooling, it's feasible that it access to the key, in which case that would be even worse. Does anyone know if this happened?

uno.uk have a policy of not censoring things unless they absolutely have to. they're supporters of the Open Rights Group, and they're the only residential isp I've found that give me a /29 ipv4 block on the standard order form.

they're a small outfit, been with them for years and on first name terms with the main support guy. great for the kind of nerds who prefer you to skip the flow chart if you and then the logs from your router and hint that you know what you're doing.

not affiliated, just satisfied.

I'm pretty sure they use it heavily at DuckDuckGo. Possibly also Cloudflare?

Agreed. I read the article and I was thinking "this sounds pretty bad", but after clicking through to the main site my experience was "there's no explanation of what this is, but it looks like it probably falls within the need for some form of regulation".

Are there services which offer a less... risky... service that are similarly affected here?

Those can be "discontinuation effects" rather than lack of treatment. I'm not saying they aren't doing good for you, but it's important to bear in mind that acute symptoms from missing a dose can be a different thing.

Agreed. I've been frustrated by the proliferation in AI with technical support. Sometimes it's can't answer a question but thinks it can, so we go round and round in circles.

A couple have had a low threshold for "this didn't solve my answer" and directed me to a human, but others are impossible to escape.

On the other hand, I've had more success with a problem actually getting resolved by a chatbot without speaking to someone more recently... But not a lot more. Ususally I think that because I skew technical and treat Support as a last resort, I've tried everything it wants to suggest.

I didn't have a great experience. Perhaps load issues, or the HN hug of death?

I found that the AI kept cutting me off, and not leaving time in the conversation to respond. It would cut off utternances before the end and then answer the questions it had asked to me as if it had asked them. I think it could have gone on talking indefinitely.

Perhaps its audio was feeding back, but macs are pretty good with that. I'll try it with headphones next time.

Experienced engineering leader looking for a new role. I've managed ICs and managers, have a coaching and people-first attitude but have also built and shipped MVPs which have been picked up by bigger teams.

I've spent the last 5 years at Overleaf, a collaborative online LaTeX editor, and before that for 20 years at Widgit, who make products for people who have trouble reading.

For the last 5 years I've been fully-remote, and have made remote-first leadership my primary focus. For example, here's something I wrote about running remote hackathons: https://www.overleaf.com/blog/our-tips-for-running-a-remote-...

Wait - it's not a joke?

Does anyone know if it's possible to split this model across multiple (identical, sli) GPUs, to run a version bigger than fits in the RAM of a single GPU?
