  Good bye pecia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ecosia has offered to take ‘stewardship’ of Chrome. And it's not a bad idea.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like Google would only do this if they can buy Ecosia so they can write down Google’s carbon off the work Ecosia has done.

  I mean, it’s fundamental to LLM technology that they listen to user inputs. Those inputs are probablistic in terms of their effects on outputs… So you’re always going to be able to manipulate the outputs, which is kind of the premise of the technology.

  It will always be prone to that sort of jailbreak. Feed it vocab, it outputs vocab. Feed it permissive vocab, it outputs permissive vocab.

  But now you can spend 4 hours trying to get it to say the right thing and do it all in one output. Where as before it might take you an hour if you’re having a bad day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This new SSD will literally self destruct if you push the big red button it comes with — Team Group posts video of data destruction in action⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Unless you have had three independent data recovery companies confirm the data can’t be recovered - I’m not buying it.

  For the software erase it says:

  Even if power is interrupted during the data wiping process, the drive will automatically resume clearing data the next time it gets power, says Team Group.

  We aren’t sure of the wiping algorithm or tech, so we would assume there remains a chance of data recovery after this software-powered wipe, or partial wipe.

  For the hardware erase, it says recovery might be more effort than it’s worth. So sounds like neither mode gets proven results.

  It’s essentially a dangerous scam.

  Hard to say because it’s a concept of an idea at this point.
