>Defeating the dragon of the network effect would be a great victory for human empowerment in the 21st century.

Creating the network effect was the greatest loss we had in the 21st century. We used to be able to use XMPP to talk to Google Hangouts, Facebook Messenger and all sorts, and they took it away, just so you'd have to use their shitty little program instead.

The trick is that they delete the actual image of the face, but the embeddings (which can reconstruct the face anyway) are saved permanently onto their servers. You don't own your embeddings, and they never delete them.

This is basically how every custom app works on Mac. You have to go to Settings -> Security & Privacy and click "Allow whosthere"

Yoto seems marketed towards older children. I don't think my one year old is able to put the cards in the Yoto by himself, but he can easily stand a figure on top of the TonieBox.

What are some apps that fit this criterion that you use regularly and some that you wish existed. Would you pay for these apps?

Isn't this the definition of `discovering`? Did Alexander Fleming not 'discover' penicillin because it was an accident and he treated it seriously?

It's more about how you use them. Asking a general-purpose model like ChatGPT precise k8s questions might prove counterproductive; however feeding the entire k8s documentation into an LLM like Gemini and asking questions that way is invaluable. Not just the documentation, but your entire cluster config. Like you said, "blindly trusting LLMs, you'll find yourself in trouble" this is true, but the same can be said for StackOverflow or any other resource. Sifting through StackOverflow to find the exact answer to your question (and then understanding the answer, and hoping that it pertains to your environment, and version etc) is much less efficient when you can ingest the entire docs, your config, your environment, and your question, and have it spit out exactly what you need in whatever format you need. You can even web search with multiple questions derived automatically from your main question, to gather multiple sources which are aggregated and referenced in the answer so you can easily cross-check for hallucinations. StackOverflow isn't even as easy to fact check as LLMs considering the in-line sources.

Because unsurprisingly the cert expired on the 12th at 10PM. That's how certificates work.
