       @ariadne I find it pretty challenging to have split accounts tbh.You inevitably will read stuff in account B that are account A topics and things get quite awkward.

       Seems I ordered a Midea PortaSplit, a portable split AC. I can put the outdoor unit on the balcony!I wish we had a proper AC installation

       I have a single unit portable AC in the bed room that I bought in 2020 which is already doing a good job with that room.But the other one can cool the living room, idk.This shit is getting more important each year, not just for temperature but also humidity.Yesterday I had like 70% humidity at 20.5°C while it was 31°C outside.

       @ariadne I think this boils down to electricity. These things suck 3500W or 2800W I believe for the small one (12k/8k BTU).So you'd need to do special 230V outlets near windows/doors and then you can just do real AC?

       @ariadne there's also smaller camping units that I'd be curious about installing in the small rooms though which don't suck that much power, but I suppose you have those in the US?

       @ariadne 🤯 that is a clever solution, we modify portable AC by gluing shoeboxes to the air intake and then routing a 2nd huge tube outside for the fresh air intake path.

       I think my Tasmota smart plug is broken it reports half the voltage a lot

       @ariadne ah but is research just a means to enable capitalism

       @ariadne @tris I can give you two examples:In a single reviewer project like APT I can either trust the test suite and myself, or I can add a vibe plausibility check.Also I spent a lot of my time either in or recovering from meetings, so having the AI produce code in the background and then have me review that is also helpful.Not all of the stuff is trivial enough for that though, but there's lots of low hanging fruits that the AI can reasonably work on.

       @ariadne @tris I'd argue rewriting the Hurd from scratch is also not something you'd normally do yourself either and we should not hold LLMs to super human standards :D

       @ariadne @tris @evana @deutrino I like "here's a failing test case, make it work".Or "my test coverage is low. Hallucinate test cases to improve it"Or "add ACLS contracts to functionally verify this C function"But without a hard testable proof to work towards it gets led astray by nonsense

       @ariadne @daemonspudguy @evana @deutrino @tris I mean that's certainly the case.But also wrt enjoyment I wonder what that even means? Would I rather be out cycling or spend the whole night coding after having spent the whole day working on the same stuff already?I don't think AI helps a lot because it has its own addictive properties where you watch it "think" and then interrupt it each time it goes astray.

       @fribbledom well just tell it not to do that and to remember that so it writes it's config file adjusting the harness's coding agent.

       @ariadne I'm wondering what that manager had to deal with that he had to warn about literally one of the mildest chili peppers on the planet.Like look I understand I need to warn something if I throw 4 birds eye chilies in their meal but jalapenos?

       @eff @jilliancyork @reasonmagazine > A European bank, registrar or hosting company may not know precisely what American law demands of it. Its compliance department may simply decide that maintaining a relationship with a small Italian anarchist collective is not worth the perceived risk. I mean we've seen this even with high level officials like the ICC folks who got their bank accounts cancelled after being put on US sanctions lists.

       @stux @Twotired @kityr it's stupid and dangerous.Those conditions are not enforceable in terms of services in some jurisdictions like Germany, don't know about yours ("surprising" terms of service are void).prompt injection into an autonomous visitor to pay fees likely constitutes a plethora of criminal offenses, including but not limited to, access of protected systems without authorization and wire fraud.Outside of criminal charges, AI operators may file civil proceedings for damages.
