Comment Sugar consumption / Ketogenic metabolism (Score 1, Interesting) 60

I'm pretty sure wether you're in ketasis (body produces it's on bloodsugar) or overbooked on sugar (which many often are) is a key factor in wether you're a prime target for mosqitoes. That would also totally make sense for them from a nutrition standpoint. If you're a mosqito magnet, try losing some wait and go into ketasis, perhaps with interval fasting. At least when they're out and about. That's likely do reduce or solve the problem.

Comment That makes sense. (Score 4, Interesting) 72

Cultural engagement and it's "lower" form, escapism, basically represent tribal social engagement and exploration of the unknown/new, you know, the things we previously evolved to be good at. That this sort of activity provides purpose, meaning and connection and thus educes stress totally makes sense.

I personally see and experience an amplified version of this in close embrace social dancing (massive health benefits, scientifically proven) and due to my diploma and experience in performing arts. It basically makes me 15-20 years younger than my peers.

Comment Can free ICQ clients use ICQ servers, reloaded (Score 3, Interesting) 107

The response of "User-Agent is not authentication" is a strawman response to "Unofficial clients should not use our servers". They used it as identification of clients, not authentication. Would the developers be happier if they had used an API key for the web interaction, but package that fixed API key into the app? Would that be "authentication" and thus better to them? It's the same effect, and the open source clone would copy it too.

Same discussion as 30 years ago with open source clones of messaging apps such as ICQ. The open source client pretends, on those days through reverse engineering, to be the official client. Ultimately, it was okay then, because it was beneficial for the operators to have a larger network of users who can talk to each other. Does this dynamic apply here?

The program is still deterministic - the output is determined *entirely* and deterministically by the input. (Where the input is the set of the prompt, the sequence of numbers returned by the calls for random(), and the LLM data model itself.)

Your "mistake", if we want to call it that, is treating the random() function as an innate quality of the LLM. It isn't it is simply part of the input.

Provide the the system with the same model, the same prompt, and the same sequence of numbers, and you WILL get the same answer, regardless of how complex the question is, or who asks it.

If hammering is an issue, randomly drop with 429 95% of requests. Then as an alternative, allow people to buy an API key for 1000 downloads costing 1€.

Then patient individuals can always download for free. Big companies / CI / AI will want to pay or make their own mirror.
