I base my opinion on my experience mainly, but I have studied research quite thoroughly on this topic as well. But please, do post some links to the "actual research" you are referring to - I'm happy to read those pieces as well and adjust my opinion if needed.. Never seen you quoting research on this topic, hence the stance on your posts.

He could give strong support to Ukraine. Threaten to bomb Russia. Things like that might start ww3. Guess what. Trump has done the opposite of that.

What nuclear power that might start ww3 has Trump provoked?

By not giving strong support to Ukraine, Trump has not provoked Russia, but ENCOURAGED them to continue their aggression. You really think Russia would stop in Ukraine, if they would get want they want from there? No, next would be Baltic states (part of Nato, sure, but as Trump has already shown, he wouldn't really care), and so on and so forth. WW3 eventually.

... are still idiots and assholes, just with skills upgraded from "none" to "somewhat there, but not too impressive".

The problem, obviously, is not "idiots using LLMs in security space", but instead "motivated, skilled hackers using LLMs". There is a lot of reserach on this topic laltely,
AI is shrinking the time from finding a bug to exploiting it.

"model persistence over long task horizons." That's the whole point of these models, that you can give them a task and they keep working on it for a long time!

No, the models themselves are Request-Response -machines. In order for them to be able to work on a task for a long time, you need to create a loop, where you store the context of the previous interaction and keep feeding it to the model, over and over again. And THIS is where there should be more stricter constraints to actually monitor, wtf is going on. The one who is running the model has ALL the control they need, should they choose to do so.

I'm assuming that this works because when the AP is communicating with endpoints in fixed locations, the AP can tell when signal quality changes as attenuators move through the space. This might work better with modern 'beam forming' APs using modern 802.11 standards, but theoretically one could constantly measure the signal strength between a stationary endpoint and the AP and observe when that signal is weaker than it otherwise should be.

If there are insufficient stationary endpoints it might not work so well unless it can somehow measure reflectivity with enough precision to know that something moved through.

Probably, yes. There was a paper on this, just a week ago: using it to identify people

Another issue is that many Europeans either live in apartment buildings or don't have parking in front of their houses so they can't charge off their home grid. Or if they can, they're limited to something like 6.5 kWh which is a real pain if you have a 100 kW car battery (i.e. 15 hours to charge the car).

Typically, when charging at home, you do not have an empty battery when starting charging. I.e., for short daily commute even 6,5kWh is enough. On longer trips one can charge along the highway with more powerful chargers.

Domestic panels will get more expensive, too, as they are made from polysilicon.

Yes, and this is exactly what this is about. As with paying companies to NOT build offshore wind farms to create cheap electricity, the Orange is also trying to limit solar electricity, so that his friends in the Oil & Gas industry would profit more. https://hardware.slashdot.org/...

I think it is becoming more and more obvious that LLMs are just another, relatively small improvement of things. Like happened with all the other AI hypes before. Useful? Yes. Complete game-changer? No. And it is not only that running these models is far too expensive and that is several years in.

It is funny how you have had to move the goalposts all the time in your trolling against AI. At least you are now admitting that LLMs are useful, which was hard for you earlier.

(One also needs to realize the scale and size of the US - the complete European continent is about 10% larger by area than the US - and I'm sure your systems don't work seamlessly from the UK through Russia and Turkieye and the Stans.

Stans are not part of the Europe, but for the other countries, money transfers with IBAN should work just fine across borders. The system covers 89 countries, as of now.
