Yes people are overthinking.

Actually having a cross-distro way to specify an age group for parental control purposes would be very useful.

If the law starts to change and be about surveillance (which it isn't about _right now_) then distro maintainers will just not implement that.

> I thought if you used the exact input and seed with the temperature set to 0 you would get the same output.

I think they can also be differences on different hardware, and also usually temperature is set higher than zero because it produces more "useful/interesting" outputs

This is similar :

Two musicians generated every possible melody within an octave, and published them as creative Commons Zero.

I never heard about this again though.

It's not a generic footer, it's their reply directly to their tweet about the incident.

I agree with the person you are replying to, writing a tweet like :

"How I misused AI and caused an outage"

and replying to this very tweet saying

"Here's a blog where I write insights about AI"

Obviously do not make me want to read the blog.

Yeah,

I'm working on an indie game project and just got frustrated with Unity, I'm porting everything over to Godot.

I even learned about using Kotlin with Godot today [0] and I am really hopeful this is stable (it seems so), because I favor a more functional style of programming and C# ends up making everything 5 times more verbose than Kotlin.

I do wonder whether Kotlin is sufficiently different from C# to make it worth developing in Godot in a non-standard way.

For me, it does.

I find Kotlin way easier to read back than C#, and for the cases where I would have reached for GDScript for its simplicity, I can use Kotlin and have still a lot of simplicity, while also having type-safety.

As if you can't program C# functional style.

> As if you can't program C# functional style.

This, I was really impressed recently when I met a C# dev who was also a programmer (as opposed to your standard C# SaaS dev who just copy pasted from the framework docs and stack overflow and was fully automated by Claude in 2025) and he showed me how nice the language has gotten since I last used it over a decade ago when it was just Microslop Java. They've really put in work and it has a lot of great functional constructs now.

Sorry, I mean that writing functional code in C# is way more verbose than in Kotlin.

C# is already more verbose because it lacks things like union types (and so you need to have a fallback branch in every switch) and for example everything needs to be nested in a class.

Then you also have the fact that there is no "val" keyword (which makes things clearer imo) and the fact that it's generics type inferencing is only based on method arguments, which really adds a lot of noise to almost all generic functions.

I was using LanguageExt [0] in C# and I am now using Arrow [1] in Kotlin, and while LanguageExt is really nice for addressing some C# shortcomings, for me this is night and day.

Well, I'll surely be buying a Motorola device when GrapheneOS support lands.

I've been running on several half-working recent android ports to my Xiaomi Mi 9t for many years now.

If I can get a modern phone, modern android, my privacy preserved and a hackable phone (to the extent an unlockable bootloader allows, which isn't a given nowadays, I especially hate how Xiaomi does it), I'm 100% sold.

We'll see when it comes out I guess!

I saw a presentation about this 6 months ago, it looked promising for age verification for example, it's even an already done system, not a research article.

But of course the thing would need users in order to attract users.

This whole tweet seems very childish.

In France, for movies/music you get 2 warning letters, then a scary one that says you can now get to court possibly.

Didn't really hear about people getting fines for this, but the law exists.

I'm currently hesitating to use something like OpenClaw, however, because of prompt injections and stuff, I would only have it able to send messages to me directly, no web query, no email reply, etc...

Basically act as a kind of personal assistant, with a read only view of my emails, direct messages, and stuff like that, and the only communication channel would be towards me (enforced with things like API key permissions).

This should prevent any kind of leaks due to prompt injection, right ? Does anyone have an example of this kind of OpenClaw setup ?

It might be harder than you think. Any conditional fetch of an URL or DNS query could reveal some information.

DNS Queries are fine, and also conditional URL fetches, as long as they are not arbitrary, should be okay too.

I don't mind the agent searching my GMail using keywords from some discord private messages for example, but I would mind if it did a web search because it could give anything to the search result URLs.

I wrote this exact tool over the last weekend using calendar, imap, monarchmoney, and reminders api but I can’t share because my company doesn’t like its employees sharing their personal work even.
