Why would you try to convince an LLM of anything?

Often you want to proceed further based on a common understanding, so it’s an attempt to establish that common understanding.

Well, not exactly convince. I was curious what will happen.

If you are curious it was a question about the behavior of Kafka producer interceptors when an exception is thrown.

But I agree that it is hard to resist the temptation to treat LLM's as a pear.


Do you have concrete examples of incidents? Honestly asking.

This is the first notable, semi-reputable Google result for each "${COMPANY_NAME} data breach". Some of these are examples of an API being leveraged to exfiltrate database records rather than direct database breaches like getting the admin password to postgres.

If you want to see more for the same company, try appending "-{YEAR_OF_KNOWN_DATA_BREACH}" to skip the ones you've already read, though this will tend to exclude companies who have multiple data breaches in one year.

Exactly where is Debian "not working"?

Almost daily at work. Always have to verify with my fedora machines that it is indeed debian/ubuntu and not upstream.

debian or ubuntu? I have had terrible experience in the past with ubuntu breaking randomly, but debian has been fairly stable for a desktop machine

At home with debian testing.

At work I usually have to spend 6 hours per day to fix random Ubuntu issues on code which works fine on Fedora. Usually Ubuntu 20 and 22.


It's Debian testing; a rough experience is practically expected. I say this as a person who daily-drives Sid.

That's some hyperbole. If I spent 6 hours a day fixing some distro's issues, that would be my whole job. I would begin questioning whether I'm "holding it wrong" or if it is the wrong tool for the job.


Exactly. It's the wrong tool for the job. Europeans love Ubuntu/Debian, but it's shit

That's an opinion (a wrong one IMO, but you do you). It's hard for me to comment because when I tried using Fedora (maybe 15 years ago, tbh) I couldn't even play MP3s out of the box, so I never revisited it.

I also left Ubuntu because of their shenanigans, but if your code cannot run on Debian, your code is shit.


When the python3.10 package has the SSIZE_CLEAN error enforced, and one of their packages has no SSIZE_CLEAN definition before including Python.h (python3-bluez) that's not my fault. That's just yesterday's shenanigans.

But it happens everyday


The road outside my house was widened into a highway more than five years ago. To this day, Google Maps still asks me to take detours that were only active during construction. I have reported this ad nauseum. Nothing. It also keeps telling me to turn from the service lanes onto the highway at points that only pedestrians walk across. More than once, it's asked me to take illegal turns or go the wrong way up a one way street (probably because people on motorbikes go that).

Whatever method they use to update their data is broken, or they do not care about countries our size enough to make sure it is reasonably correct and up-to-date.


That's interesting, and they may have different "lines" into the "map change" department; I reported both a previous residence and previous work location (in Downtown Atlanta, yet!) both having their google map "pins" in the wrong spot, and both were fixed within a week.


Sounds 100 percent like a government issue? Local gov just forgot to update whatever maps/data source of truth that they publish publicly?

Sounds like you need to report it at your municipality or whatever local gov is responsible for keeping their GIS up to date.


Maybe it is, but does Google actually get data from government maps? Isn't it mostly satellite data + machine learning from people's movement by tracking phones?


We care. If I get a video recommendation on YouTube and it is AI-created, I blacklist the channel. I will never listen to AI music. Even articles, the only way I will keep reading someone's writing is if I never find out they don't use it. I consume media and art to commune with my fellow man, not to look at pretty bitmaps and read just strings of prose.


You are not the average consumer.


Don't wealthy people have fewer children?


The problem is millennials having fewer children, not wealthy people having fewer children.

Millennials are historically notable for having both fewer children and less wealth than prior generations at the same age.


This assumes you have one isolated group of friends who communicate mostly with each other and not as much to people outside this group. You would need to convince your friends+family to switch, then they in turn need to convince their other friends+family to switch, and so on. What your friends did is install Signal to communicate with you.


Rick Rubin said this in a popular interview himself, fwiw.


Any day now.

We are not trying it hard enough.


Humans did not accumulate that intuition just using images. In the example you gave, you subconsciously augment the image information with a lifetime of interacting with the world using all the other senses.


Yes, without extra information, manipulating everyday objects is probably as intuitive to robots as manipulating quantum scale molecules is for humans.
