Screengrab reading"

George Clooney is an actor.

Put him in the role of a surgeon in front of a camera, and he will do and say things the average non-surgeon viewer will agree are surgeonish. After an hour of that, we are, as average non-surgeon viewers, satisfied and entertained. 

Put him in an operating theatre, and the patient will fucking die because he's not a surgeon and knows nothing about really doing surgery. 

This is a post about LLMs.

Number two daughter pissed with @Amazon today. Ordered some hair dye yesterday for delivery before 1pm. I buzzed the driver in at 9:30am and they promptly "delivered" it to a random resident in the buliding lobby.

It's still MIA.

Fair enough, I interpreted your post to imply that it was Cloudflare's AI usage that led to the crash when it was an, all too human, bad 'WHERE' clause (and who hasn't done that, allbeit not on production with such catastrophic results). :-)

Struggling to associate this outage, with AI. Unless you're linking it to the fact that most large bot nets may be AI driven. And this module was for BOT mitigation.

As I read it, a SQL error returned too much data per query resulting in all instances of the app using that data crashing.

They said I shouldn’t do it. They said there was no point.

But I’ve done it. I’ve proved them wrong.

I’ve reinvented the wheel and it’s FUCKING AWESOME

This justifies EV ownership for me. Two wind generators, plus batteries. Off grid, half the price of on grid charging stations.

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you'll never watch again, and one song you can't stand.

Winter Melon (it's a Chinese thing)

Star Wars (though technically, I've never seen it)

Image of a Tesla EV using a charging stand as a parking space.

Effing Tesla driver. Parking in a charging bay, no intention of charging (he's the wrong way round) even though there are plenty of parking spaces.

Plus, when he left, he turned right against a "no right turn" sign.

Are Teslas the new BMWs?

Meh, I don't really agree with you. Obviously, I do use my Subscriptions feed, but I also find a lot of good material from outside that bubble surfaced on the Home feed. Stuff I don't like, I flag to YouTube and the channel is never seen again.

So far we've visited signal rock view point, with no view, Hagrids Hut with no hut and entered the forbidden forest without a problem. Glencoe is not all as it seems.
