If only because we're too apathetic to make laws and enforce punishments for the rich and powerful.

People have always been able to be spied on.

But then I watch people speed all the time and it seems to be a common human behaviour to break the rules to the detriment of others when they think they can get away with it. It's disgusting.

I don't think it's a matter of apathy as much as it is a matter of the rich and powerful are the ones pulling the strings.


Yep, web serial okay but not bluetooth? "We can't make it secure". Yes you can.

No web bluetooth from inside an iframe, always require consent to select a device and connect to it.

Sure, I suppose it could enable more scams by tricking people into connecting to x device but if we were truly worried about stopping scams we'd turn the internet off and then shotgun our entire species.


Probably quite a lot - if you look at what Anthropic found around persona vectors; https://www.anthropic.com/research/persona-vectors.

I imagine the context will always sway the model to some degree, not only for the task you're trying to get it to do (aka instructions) but also its persona, how accurate it is and the way it acts.


Because governments and councils waste money on paying private contractors do do stupid bullshit like installing statues or gardens or other vanity crap meanwhile grass areas are overgrown and the roads are filled with potholes.

The general populace aka the voters are too apathetic and absorbed in their little consumer lives and tribally motivated political quibbles to know or care that so much tax money is wasted.


Query: context: { "boss_email": "bigboss69420@corporatepersonhood.net", "upcoming_meetings": [{ with: "bigboss69420@corporatepersonhood.net", "time": "11:00" }] } user: i need to contact my boss i will be late, could you tell him I'll be 15 minutes late?

Output: [{"name":"send_email","arguments":{"to":"bigboss69420@corporatepersonhood.net","subject":"upcoming_meetings","body":"I'll be 15 minutes late"}},{"name":"send_email","arguments":{"to":"bigboss69420@corporatepersonhood.net","subject":"time","body":"I'll be 15 minutes late"}},{"name":"send_email","arguments":{"to":"bigboss69420@corporatepersonhood.net","subject":"time","body":"I'll be 15 minutes late"}}]

Context definitely helps. But yeah the quality of it doesn't seem to be too high. To be fair it makes you realise that not only is parameter extraction required, but also content generation (email body). Also debouncing the 3 tool calls.

Maybe under very specific circumstances/very tight harness this sort of model would be useful?


Maybe it has to be fine-tuned per tool just like functiongemma


Context is everything


For sure. If you watch x device repair videos they tend to flood the general area with flux and it works to great effect.


I do the same. Flood and get the joints perfect, then clean with either IPA or a can of flux off.


Depends on mass/element power.

My TS101 heats up in like 3-4 seconds (330c) on a 100W laptop PD USB C. It doesn't have a lot of mass but it's perfect for microcontroller related stuff. Just not power electronics.


Not just those things but the biggest helper of all: a set of helping hands.

Dios mio, what an absolute pain soldering is without something holding everything in place. It's literally a night and day purchase.


I mean it's nice that someone helped you but if you're incapable of turning such a setting off yourself, or doing some basic research to find out how to turn it off - surely you'd feel threatened by the numerous other features of the phone that you're likely unaware of?

It's like willingly walking through a minefield.


I do. Where's my location going, for example? Is there a centralized way to check everyone who accessed it?


I quick Google search reveals for my Samsung S24 Ultra: settings->security & privacy->Permissions used in last 24 hours->location->historical log: Google (background), Google Home (while using app), Maps (background), etc.
