David Suzuki had some real talk yesterday:

We are now in the "hunker down" phase of global warming.


The five stages of grief, often referred to as the Kübler-Ross model, are: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.


Be aware this isn't really what mental health teaches anymore.


what happens to those websocket connections when the API is updated or redeployed?


It's pretty easy to build auto reconnect capability in the client. The server will drop all its connections and go out of rotation, and the client will start a new connection and find the new one. If the switch happens fast enough then the user shouldn't even notice.


Along with the reconnect solution already mentioned, you can also decouple your Websocket and business logic layers using something like Pushpin: https://pushpin.org/. This allows you to deploy your business logic layer without disconnecting/reconnecting clients.


It is to be expected that LLM will make a decision on its own if it suspects any changes to the API. In any case, there is no time to fix the code during the game.


They werent talking about an LLM here


mmm... meat sphere.



Exactly. This isn't just a 10 minute project. And thats just for the website, not the tiles, etc.


I prefer not to click anymore and instead ask AI to summarize a URL for me. The Brave Browser Leo AI is great for this.


I think eventually that's gonna have ads injected. Assume you're asking it to summarize a page on Pasta, and might inject an ad for Barilla. Which your adblocker will block.

But in the future I see native ads, where they inject a string as part of the LLM's output.


The brave browser's LLM is local. You can point it to open weights you downloaded off huggingface. How would Barilla inject an ad into that?


While not explicitly about your chosen tool chain, monetizing user data is absolutely going to happen in the LLM space.

While there may be some holdouts, Wall Street is already questioning the payback and as some big players are over promising on things that they will most likely never be able to deliver on, investors will start to pressure for any revenue stream.

As even subscription services breach the trust of their users, there is little leverage to hold that model today and deflect activest investors etc...


It is totally possible that AI just isn't monetizable and that they can't figure out a way to suck valuable user data out of it and resell it for profit. In that case, we have another dot-com bust where all the blow-hards and made-up-business-plans go bust and we end up with some decent tech that works for people for a decade or so before someone figures out how to turn it into garbage to make a few cents.


this sounds great as long as law and federal enforcement agencies can also access that password manager app as-needed.



for most requests.. yes.


No, for selectively few requests.


Just the requests that make for a great keynote demo under ideal conditions in SF


"The great supercomputer Deep Thought is the most powerful computer ever built, with one exception. It was designed by hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings, who wanted to know the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything.

Its creation annoyed a fair few philosophers, who felt that it was taking over their turf.

After seven and a half million years of serious cogitation, Deep Thought spoke the answer. However, it was so inexplicable that Deep Thought then had to go on and design the most powerful computer ever built (with no exceptions) to work out what the question was."


Feels very much like we are entering the Happy Vertical People Transporters era.

How long till the air con goes on strike for miserable working conditions?

"Brain the size of a planet and they ask me write a lesson plan in the style of a pirate" - chatgpt5, probably...


And that was earth, so are we asking the right questions?


and the answer to question of life is 42.


are we watching those who watch the watchers.


Well, I just came in this thread to lurk, so I guess I'm watching those who are watching those who watch the watchers.


I'll just take a quick look at you, so we can be sure there's someone watching those who watch those who watch the watchers

If orca associate humans with taking their food, killing whales (eg: Faroe Islands), and polluting their habitat it's not surprising for them to instinctively react against this threat.

Monkeys groom one another to remove lice.

Humans are the lice.


Exactly, I don't believe one bit that they're "attracted to the pressure differential of the prop." I've swam in the ocean and boats are extremely noisy and annoying underwater. The Orcas fully understand that the boats are linked to the changes in the ocean.

To the downvote: I'm sure you've heard a drone buzzing above your head and getting nervous. A boat propeller does the same thing.


There's at least one extremely well documented example of a killer whale that played extensively with boats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luna_(orca)

Granted, this was a lonely little fellow. But, he knew perfectly well what he was doing and repeatedly approached boats, despite the noise. He died after colliding with a tugboat prop.


Orca will kill other whales simply to eat the tongue. The idea they would be offended by Faroese hunting and killing other species of whales... seems unlikely. Competition seems like better motivation.
