Somehow they are taking "Spill the Tea" too literally

Yes, I know exactly where this is. I‘m from these streets ;-)

Them: Just follow the signs.
Bochumers: Never. Not in a million years. It’s gonna be a no on principle.

These are the people amongst whom I grew up and it shows.

Pretty sure @jags.bsky.social does this on the daily

This form of cyber war will absolutely happen

Ne, was hier gemeint ist ist Staatsanwalt bittet das Gericht einen außergerichtlich verhandelten Deal anzunehmen. Missverständlich formuliert, aber im Englischen wird die Staatsanwaltschaft oft synonym mit dem Land behandelt in der Beschreibung von Gerichtsprozessen.

Feels like the scaling is "whatever currently works for the plot". Dedra gets a big apartment because of nice visuals. When the empire needs to seem strong they get appropriate manpower. When the heroes need to get away they get a 6-person strike team without helmets

Okay, but how did they only send one team to seize the target of a planetary-wide search? Why not storm three apartments at once? Why not have the droids come through the floor? Why is the farm inspection squad bigger than the ISB Coruscant strike team??? Some good content but random scaling

We would please like to have it in writing that all of Europe wants us to roll our tanks through Poland to fight the Russians.

Have you heard of the show Miss Merkel? Angela Merkel solving murders in rural Germany post-Chancellorship, accompanied by her trusty bodyguard.

If you haven’t been poisoned by hotpot have you even lived in China?

Also, AI sommelier society already discussed it, right @jags.bsky.social ?

This is on top of companies just straight-up paying to have your agents behave with a built-in preference or bias for their product. Sort of like Microsoft pays to be the standard OS or Google pays to come preinstalled. This is ABSOLUTELY already happening

Also, where does this idea come from that a system that they ask *to spend money on their behalf* would not absolutely be targeted for legal manipulation??? This will be a prime target and people are already working on it

AI Agents will absolutely targeted by ads. Ads are a form of manipulation and AI systems are vulnerable to manipulation. Think prompt injections, RAG manipulation, training data poisoning, agent-vs-agent. Especially, if you trust this system to make purchasing decisions for you. Will be lucrative.

Okay, but how is the empire this bad at… being the empire? I’m trying to give the show a lot of leeway by believing in bureucratic inefficiency and imperial arrogance, but how can they not raid three apartments at the same time or spare enough troops to shut down a section of Corusant?

v3 of Rigging is out now. If you’re working with LLMs to build agents or run evaluations, check it out. We just added:

- Prompt caching for supported providers
- A unified tool system for function calling and fallbacks to xml/json parsing
- Native MCP integration

The idea of selecting for standardized tests is the right impulse. But while a heavy focus on standardized procedure and testing would be applicable in wider academia (for example PhDs and Postdocs) professorships - and especially tenure - are a highly political and clubby affair

It‘s good that they wrote this as well, because the original story was just an absolute Puff piece full of grandiose claims without putting the in context or qualifying them (such as: the newest LLM is smarter than a human 😂). It honestly made me doubt the Financial Times

Headed home, exhausted and inspired, from another *amazing* @pivotcon.bsky.social

is this a pigeon meme but it's me looking at "pretty much anything at all" and saying "is this a graph traversal problem?"

Pointless little icons for senders plus for some reason since updating to 18.4.1 it no longer displays the correct number of unread emails in the mail app‘s red circle

Why does Apple keep on breaking the Mail app even more? This is awful…

Thank you @dakotaindc.bsky.social Winnona DeSombre, @dustinchilds.bsky.social, Greg Austin, for your time and wisdom in this @bloomberglp.bsky.social production on the breadth of China's cyber army. An idea originated the brilliant Robin Fall and Olivia Yasukawa.
