    Apply as much force as you can. Realize the door is now moving quite fast and about to crash into something on the other side. Leap for the door handle. Body-check the lady into another dimension. You’re alone now, so walk through the door like nothing happened.

    I mean, kind of has to be the reason for the top image. When the door opens into the room, you’re really not helping by opening the door and then not just following through into the room.

    That’s so awkward to push down the handle and then step back to let the other person go first, especially since it’s actually slower for the other person than just letting them operate the handle themselves.




  • Servo company? It’s an open-source project underneath the Linux Foundation. The Servo Shell source code seems to be here: https://github.com/servo/servo/tree/main/ports/servoshell
    It probably wouldn’t be too difficult to compile it yourself, if you really want it.

    However, you have to mind that it’s damn near impossible to build a browser from scratch that supports the majority of web standards at this point. Servo does not do so. Most webpages will not be usable on it.
    That’s the reason why they don’t care to provide a general-purpose browser interface. Because Servo is only useful at this point when only a specific webpage or specific set of webpages needs to be displayed.
    So, generally when it’s embedded into hardware or into a software application, where the user does not have a URL bar to type arbitrary addresses into, and where the webpage to display can be specifically crafted for Servo.

    Oh yeah, when I double-checked my information for the above comment, I also ran across this section, which is kind of wild (Hitler was clean-edge in some disciplines, while not at all in others):

    Hitler stopped drinking alcohol around the time he became vegetarian […] He was a non-smoker for most of his adult life, but smoked heavily in his youth (25 to 40 cigarettes a day); he eventually quit, calling the habit “a waste of money”. […] Hitler began using amphetamine occasionally after 1937 and became addicted to it in late 1942. Speer linked this use of amphetamine to Hitler’s increasingly erratic behaviour and inflexible decision-making (for example, rarely allowing military retreats).

    Prescribed 90 medications during the war years by his personal physician, Theodor Morell, Hitler took many pills each day for chronic stomach problems and other ailments. He regularly consumed amphetamine, barbiturates, opiates, and cocaine, as well as potassium bromide and atropa belladonna

  • The problem is that in this case, the LLM just naively auto-completes a password from what it knows a password to most likely look like.

    It is possible to enable an LLM to call external tools and to provide it with instructions, so that it’s likely to auto-complete the tool call instead. Then you could have it call a tool to generate a correct horse battery staple, or a completely random password by e.g. calling the pwgen command on Linux.

    But yeah, that just isn’t what this article is about. It’s specifically about cases where an LLM is used without tool calls and therefore naively auto-completes the most likely password-like string.




  • If you’ve got access to a microwave, I’ve found rice dishes quite convenient, like for example a lentil curry. They generally re-heat without tasting worse and the rice traps the moisture, so even if your container isn’t 100% sealed, you’re unlikely to get mess everywhere.

    (Though I’d still recommend getting a properly sealed container. Personally, I also transport my food in a separate cloth bag, so that if it should ever leak, I can just wash that bag.)



  • I always thought openSUSE’s package manager zypper has quite a few neat ideas:

    • It offers two-letter shorthands for subcommands, so zypper installzypper in, updateup, removerm.
    • When it lists what packages it will install or remove, it will list them with the first letter highlighted in a different color, kind of like so: fish git texlive
      This makes it really easy to visually scan the package list, and since it’s sorted alphabetically, it also makes it easier to find a particular package you might be looking for.
      And while there’s separate lists for packages to be added vs. updated vs. removed, they also color those letters in green vs. yellow vs. red, so you can immediately see what’s what.
    • When it lists items (other than packages), it prints an ID number, too.
      So, zypper repos gives you a list of your repositories, numberered 1, 2, 3 etc., and then if you want to remove a repo, you can run zypper removerepo 3.
    • When you run a zypper search, it prints the results in a nicely formatted table.
