If you go to a tiny local show with reasonable ticket prices, you don't need to commit to the entire duration. Turn up for the bands you like. Leave when you're done.

Got our solar panels cleaned by a professional, and I cannot recommend it enough. 20% more generation at the same time of day vs. earlier this week. 10/10, would buy again.

@adele J’ai déjà dû le dire l’autre fois, mais je vais le redire : ton SmolFedi est super pour parcourir mon instance Mastodon depuis mon PC portable désormais bien vénérable (un Core 2 Duo que j’ai depuis juillet 2009), là où passer par l’instance elle-même fait souffler les ventilateurs à fond, même longtemps (au moins pendant encore deux minutes) après que j’ai fermé l’onglet.

Vraiment, merci pour ça ! Puisse-t-il durer longtemps ! o/

When Krissy met me I had a cat. Didn't stop her. 33 years since we met. We currently have four cats. AND a dog, so there.

Following the recent nonsense from the EHRC, we can confirm that all toilets and showers at EMF will be individual gender-neutral cubicles, and we have absolutely no interest in policing anyone's gender at EMF.

Any idea what happened to https://releases.rs/ ? I really appreciate the kind of presentation of upcoming and released features, but the site appears down (even the DNS records seem to be gone).

@zzzeek The problem Trusted Publishing aims to solve is that if you let a pipeline auto-publish to PyPI for you, and it has a long-lived PyPI credential for doing that, it's very easy to accidentally expose that credential, and then an attacker who gets it can use it to upload packages for as long as it takes you to notice and revoke the credential.

Trusted Publishing replaces that with a more complex (behind the scenes) dance where the pipeline authenticates to PyPI and is given a short-lived narrow-scoped token. If it gets leaked, an attacker has only a very brief window of time in which to notice and try to exploit before the token expires.

“One approach, proposed by Google Research, is what you might call a “token auction.” In this model, advertisers don’t buy ad slots on a page. Instead, they bid, token by token, on the actual text the model generates. Each advertiser brings their own LLM, and an auction mechanism decides whose model gets to influence the next word. The output is a weighted blend of competing interests, shaped by who’s willing to pay more.”

this is why “prompt injection” is a bad name. it’s not a remediable vulnerability, it’s the entire way the technology works

Oh my sweet summer child, I don't need you to emphasize with me about porting over a phone number. I'm on the toilet and I just want to know how much the extra number will cost me.
