Three things stand out:

- That's how the Venus people made all their things in Alita Last Order (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Angel_Alita:_Last_Order). And it wasn't attractive.
- "drying at 45 degrees" (celsius, I expect) that's standard outdoor temperature in the sun in many places right now. In some, it could be a problem since you can easily surpass that temp.
- "defined product lifetime" it's quite a cool way to say "planned obsolesce".

So, basically if you have a nail, a hammer is still better than a screwdriver to push it in the wall.

That is to say, there are some things that LLM don't do well because, basically, they are just that: large language models. Returning information about curernt, timely events is not in their nature.

Those that invented and worked on this thing, or that think it's a good idea, should be condemned to watch The Running Man in loop for at least ten times. And then read the original material back-to-back for a couple of times, for good measure.

On the Apple ][ you needed the 16k RAM expansion card to run UCSD Pascal: that card replaced the upper 16k of the 64k RAM map so that the Pascal system could store its virtual machine (!) and replace the original ROM with the operating system.
It was a fascinating environment, and an incredibly usable one, given its enormous limitations (150k per disk, and just a few kb of usable RAM).

I learnt both programming AND english on that; the documentation was of the highest level.

Japan has been doing this for decades: you buy your tokens at the entrance, and exchange them for the various dishes with the cook. No one in the shop touches the money.

Acting is much more than looks alone. It often helps, but if it's helping too much then you're not really acting.
The perception trick that makes seeing an actor a valuable experience is very, very subtle: the slopes of uncanny valley are indeed steep, as the first Final Fantasy movie demo'ed to everyone.

They're too young to remember those. We are so old that we read them from paper, not on a screen.

So, basically, are they offering a solution for the exact problem they created?

And this, without even acknowledging that all their critics were right all the time, even while they were being attacked for criticizing the overinflated claims of the first wave of marketing?

If you are thinking about Tullio Simoncini (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metodo_Simoncini), he is a scammer and a convicted killer. He killed at least one patient, and has been convicted in Italy and Albania for malpractice and fraud. And he was saying something completely different form what this study is saying.

It's interesting that all these identification schemes pop up... The Java ecosystem solved this long ago: http://maven.apache.org/reposi...

In short, together with usual digital signature and such, you must also provide proof of owning the domain name that your library's package name relates to: this makes really hard to auto-generate spam packages; and even more focused attacks are much, much harder.
