A lot of ai hallucinations can be resolved by simply running the results through additional prompts automatically, then checking the various results against each other or against reference material.

Many agentic systems already do that with a limited number of follow up/check steps, but they’re often restricted by acceptable response times or just sheer costs.

I managed to get copilot in excel to run a 43 prompt chain in just a little under 10 minutes the other day. The result was exactly what I needed.

If you have 73 times the output, you can potentially afford to do that kind of processing in an acceptable time frame and cost level.

Haters so far behind at this point they don’t understand how they’re getting absolutely fucked by ai agent swarms.

An individual agent is stupid, a million of them can get a job done that is otherwise impossible.

They’re being used for everything from marketing to propaganda at this point, and most people still think they suck because they can be tricked or fail basic questions.

You can trick humans too, doesn’t mean they can’t do impressive things as well, especially in large groups.

Again, these people are immune to learning. It doesn’t matter that they have been betrayed, they either don’t know or don’t care.

If it was 9/10 he wouldn’t have been reelected. The fact that 3/10 people are immune to learning is the only reason he’s there.

When he no longer helps their cause (or pocket books)

As a Canadian, can you please stop picking ridiculously old people?

Find someone in the 45-65 year age range, you’re going to get a better outcome that way.

Our oldest Prime Minister in the last 50 years started when he was 65, most of them have been under 50.

Nothing is stopping it, it’s just not particularly convenient because it’s designed around the limitations of the phone system.

SIP could handle it all if you wanted though.

They’re a type of heat engine using evaporation.

Technically it would work, but it wouldn’t scale up nicely no.

It would be far less efficient than everything we currently use for power.

Then then answer to your question is yes, you interpreted it incorrectly. The original (and common) definition of that word is vastly different than what you assumed.

Do you know what a semaphore is?

Quite literally designed for long distance communication.

Used extensively in many different variations before wire/electricity based systems became available, then even used after that for communication in places where you couldn’t have a wire (like between boats)

You need to use minecrafts game files to access minecraft servers.

There are hundreds of browsers available, and since the standard is open it’s easy to create a new one.

My authenticator app requires my fingerprint, which is biometric, so fingerprint plus device for the MFA.

Fingerprint + Authenticator as well.

Fuck passwords, use proper MFA.

Phishing training is good though.

The number one google result is Owncast.

Looks like it doesn’t save the video by default but there are workarounds to record it.

To add to this a bit, if the site is just a single page that will be fine. If your site has a bunch of pages that all need to share the same theme and headers and footers and such it may be worth learning a simple templating system that runs before the site is sent for hosting.

That way if you need to update something in the design or theme you can do it once, rather than on dozens of pages.

Personally I use eleventy for my little site.

I don’t see your argument against teams.

It sounds like:

“It’s all together in one place, how dare they.”

At this point I don’t even bother using the desktop version of outlook, the web app is easier for emails and my calendar is in teams.

You act like cloud services are bad, they aren’t. If they were terrible, people would be switching away from them. They’re adding value beyond their cost and everyone knows it.

Could Microsoft be better at some things? Sure.

But they’re already far better than the alternative, which is a janky ass system of 30 different products from 30 different vendors.

Total number of businesses maybe, but they account for something like two thirds of all employees.

You can’t really say it’s much of a business IT stack if it’s just a single freelancer using a Mac.

They wouldn’t be setting up teams in the first place.

“lots of businesses operate on macOS”

No, they definitely do not. If you go into any business in Canada or the US with more than 200 employees, they are running windows on the computers sitting in front of every office drone they have.

Very specific industries or business may, especially those who are stuck on Adobe’s software, but “lots” is extremely far from the truth.

There’s no mass exodus towards Linux in the business user space.

It’s still 99.9% Microsoft Windows.
