Knusper

A few years ago, I worked interim at two logistics companies. At both companies, Amazon was a pain in the ass of a customer, demanding special treatment and behaving like a jackass, if anything wasn't quite right.

One of these companies was selling parasols, which really doesn't seem like a typical product to order online. And yet, one of the higher-ups there told me around two thirds of their orders come in via Amazon. As a result, even though they would absolutely prefer to not do business with Amazon, they cannot afford to do so.

That was 2016. I have to assume that power dynamic only got worse...

I mean, I guess, it depends on your perspective. Some folks work in garbage/proprietary languages all day and would be very glad to have Python-levels of compiler help. Others work in JS/TS and do have similar nonsense to deal with as in Python.

But lots of languages, e.g. JVM languages, Rust etc., don't struggle with semicolons and the like.
And they don't have to compile at runtime, so they can easily outclass Python for more complex error reporting, which is at least my experience.

Personally, I have pretty much only had the experience of "tell me where the error is" in Python and TS.

Problem is that they can still compromise it. Simplest method would be to just take what you've typed into the UI and send it two times. One time to your communication partners and one time unencrypted / decryptable for themselves.

But even if they're exclusively sending via Signal's library and not tampering with it or anything, they can still instruct Signal's library to add another member to a group chat. And that 'member' can be their server. It will be sent, fully end-to-end-encrypted, but to an end you don't know about.

We're getting customers that want to use LLMs to query databases and such. And I fully expect that to work well 95% of the time, but not always, while looking like it always works correctly. And then you can tell customers a hundred times that it's not 100% reliable, they'll forget.

So, at some point, that LLM will randomly run a complete non-sense query, returning data that's so wildly wrong that the customers notice. And precisely that is the moment when they'll realize, holy crap, this thing isn't always reliable?! It's been telling us inaccurate information 5% of the usages?! Why did no one inform us?!?!?!

And then we'll tell them that we did inform them and no, it cannot be fixed. Then the project will get cancelled and everyone lived happily ever after.

Or something. Can't wait to see it.

I just have some empty phrases for that purpose, like "It's going!" or "It sure is a day!". Feel free to combine with facial expressions that are difficult to interpret for maximum confusion.

Thing is, it's smalltalk. Smalltalk serves a purpose and it's not the acquisition of information, so your concrete answer is kind of vain.
Smalltalk is rather for getting an emotional feel for each other. It's the first step towards any sort of interpersonal relationship. And it can also lead to deeper topics, but it doesn't have to.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. It's a non-commercial title, so it doesn't care to do the best job selling itself, and even then it's quite niche, but well, here's the webpage: https://crawl.develz.org/

We've also got two communities here on Lemmy: [email protected] [email protected]

Oh yeah, no, I agree. I just wasn't entirely sure, if they thought it was even weirder than it still is, because they did not know the joke about the USB sticks. Just trying to help via dumb memes. 🙃

My favorite game is a roguelike game. So, you know, a game where when you die once, your game progress is erased.

And one of the playable races is a cat. They're quite shit. They can cast spells, but can't wield weapons and can't wear armor, except for a hat.
But, well, you already guessed it, they possess the superpower of respawning after a death, for a limited number of times.

And so, because most deaths in that game happen due to a blunder, that actually makes them kind of a viable race, even though they feel like hard mode in a game that's brutally difficult to begin with.

Are you talking about userContent.css? For that, it makes sense to me that it would be visible to webpages, since it applies styles to webpages.

But OP is talking about userChrome.css, which styles the Firefox UI. I would be very surprised, if that's not isolated from webpages.

The German government has an ongoing investigation into achieving this: https://www.bsi.bund.de/EN/Service-Navi/Publikationen/Studien/SiSyPHuS_Win10/SiSyPHuS.html

I'm mostly posting this to say that it's a lot of work. They dubbed it "SiSyPHuS", not because that acronym just came naturally from the study's title...
