I really dislike the assumption that we dislike the push for LLMs because we don't know how to use them properly, rather than because we do and as a result we know they're not useful in the scenarios being pushed.

Testcontainers is really useful for this kind of thing - lets you build and spin up containers from within your test suite.

We would definitely optimise for route simplicity rather than speed or distance. And kept an atlas in the car - every service station in the UK would sell them, and probably still does. They never got much use, though, unless we were going somewhere we'd never been before.

Can confirm, I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and it's definitely starting to happen.

10% of new car sales in the UK in April were Ford or GM (as Vauxhall). But given they're not selling US-spec vehicles I'm guessing approximately none of them were made in the US.

Would it be better if he took the horn off the air horn can and put it on the deodorant can?

Android and iOS present linear scales for volume, for historical reasons, but our ears work on a logarithmic scale.

I am against the death penalty in all its forms, and specifically in the US it's also a massive waste of resources even without the philosophical objections.
And I can't believe the prosecutor in this case doesn't know exactly how people will respond.

Well off, definitely - but even the well off have a lot more in common with the truly poor than with the truly rich.
You don't have to earn all that much to fall into the trap of thinking that policies which favour the rich are better for you than those favouring the poor, but it's not true.

Dark meat, while nuggets are normally made with pale meat?

Yes!
Or at least I expect so. Nest Protect has voice notifications for everything else - although they don't meet Scottish building codes (the batteries are replaceable) so I had to ditch ours before the batteries got low enough to tell for sure.

There's nothing inherently non-deterministic about an LLM. As a practical matter, providers don't seem to want to provide repeatability but I'd be surprised if they don't have repeatable internal tests.
I wrote about this a couple of years ago: www.aylett.co.uk/thoughts/llm...

Based on having had to solve similar issues from the other side: clear your cookies, they've managed to set a value that their service can't cope with.
For a while, our custom error page contained code that would delete a cookie that had suffered that kind of bug, just in case that was the cause.

This is the way.

I prompt my chats as (in part) "Role playing as a depressive robot, similar to Marvin from H2G2. Be concise, remember to stay in character but don't overdo it!"

Highly recommended, even if it's only skin-deep.

It all hinges on whether the president is an "officer of the United States", which seems to me like it obviously should be but apparently the courts disagree?

They're obviously 4D, to require that extra rotation to get them properly aligned.
