Maybe we need a CORS spec for llms?

[ec109685 → ElectronShak]

The only safe CORS spec is CORS. Have to treat everything the LLM is doing as malicious.

It’s actually worse than that though. An LLM is like letting attacker controlled content on the page inject JavaScript back into the page.

This is useful. Thanks for sharing

On: Humans can't endure temperatures and humidities as high as previously thought

[ElectronShak]

I guess so, but maybe the body and brain adapts too, depending on where you live. Average annual temperature where I live is 26 degrees C, could be lower indoors.

I'm currently waiting on a recruiter to get my panel interviews scheduled. You guys are in "dream gig" territory for me. Any tips? ;-)

> We received a large number of complaints about your account

I hope this system is smart enough to only consider complaints from accounts that this user has messaged recently, otherwise, a group of people could decide to maliciously report an account.

But how would they determine this if it is true that they do not store messages on their servers?

[jhugo → ElectronShak]

They don't need the message content to know whom you have messaged recently.

On: Gasoline Prices Reach $5 a Gallon Nationwide for the First Time

[ElectronShak]

FYI a gallon is just under 4 litres, for those of us that think in litres.

[londons_explore → ElectronShak]

UK and US gallons are different. When people say "mpg - miles per gallon", they're talking about different units in different countries.

[Ekaros → londons_explore]

And anyway miles per gallon is kinda stupid way to do it anyway as you can't compare directly consumption as it doesn't change linearly...

[mckirk → ElectronShak]

Meanwhile, in '$8/gallon territory':

"1.25€ per liter of Diesel sounds like heaven right about now..."

[cyanydeez → mckirk]

I'm hoping the states and federal government take this opportunity to appropriately tax gas and it's producers profits.
