If you were 100% specific you would be effectively writing the code yourself. But you don’t want that, so you’re not 100% specific, so it makes up the difference. The result will include an unspecified percentage of code that does not fit what you wanted.

It’s like code Yahtzee, you keep re-rolling this dice and that dice but never quite manage to get the exact combination you need.

There’s an old saying about computers, they don’t do what you want them to do, they do what you tell them to do. They can’t do what you don’t tell them to do.

Oh, God, he’s trying to use pointers again. He can never get them right. And they say I’m supposed to chase my tail…

SO gives you very specific, small examples. GenAI will happily generate entire projects, test suites etc. It’s much easier to get caught into the fantasy that the latter creates.

But I don’t want quality content when I open up a Star Wars series. I want the same old Republic vs Empire setting, some easygoing action with light sabers, bit of humor, a couple of furry characters and plot holes I can drive a truck through.

Edit: make that a barge. I want to drive a barge through not a truck.

The more I’ve watched GoT the more I wish they’d have adapted Kharkanas instead. I know the third book isn’t out yet but that didn’t seem to stop GoT.

Pretty much.

That was a solved problem 20 years ago lol. We made working systems for this in our lab at Uni, it was one of our course group projects. It used combinations of sensors and microcontrollers.

It’s not really the kind of problem that requires AI. You can do it with AI and image recognition or live traffic data but that’s more fitting for complex tasks like adjusting the entire grid live based on traffic conditions. It’s massively overkill for dead time switches.

Even for grid optimization you shouldn’t jump into AI head first. It’s much better long term to analyze the underlying causes of grid congestion and come up with holistic solutions that address those problems, which often translate into low-tech or zero-tech solutions. I’ve seen intersections massively improved by a couple of signs, some markings and a handful of plastic poles.

Throwing AI at problems is sort of a “spray and pray” approach that often goes about as badly as you can expect.

Oral-B electric toothbrushes start at 10€ over here — the model with just one speed and only one brush included, that works with 2xAA batteries. I use mine with rechargeable AA and honestly I’ve forgotten when I got it. Could be 10 years.

It’s in poor taste at best. This is a trafficked woman who was being kept on a leash by her trafficker. Whether she had an iPhone is completely irrelevant, as long as she went near people who did the tracking still worked. But if her trafficker was forcing her to carry around an iPhone it’s even more sad.

At the very least one has to take a moment and chose their words when commenting on trafficking topics. This is actually one of the happy cases — there are traffickers who implant tags into their victims’ bodies in various ways. It’s nothing to make light of.

Do you mean how nice of Apple? How the hell did you turn this around to be the victim’s fault?

Wow get a load of Miss Eskarina Smith over here. 🙄

1. Why should users care about the company’s billables, first of all. Secondly, it’s a red herring because there’s nothing compelling them to offer support for 3rd party authenticators or even mention them. It’s just a flip switch in the settings. Savvy users will try a 3rd party first anyway.
2. Potayto, potato. The location info comes from and including Authenticator. What is the point of fetching location in a TOTP generator if not to check up on it?

I don’t care whether it stores the location. The problem is that it sends it to your employer. And so do all Microsoft apps. Teams for example makes full reports for managers to peruse about all kinds of information taken from each employee’s device, including location and whether they were using the device and when.

Isn’t that already how it works? Are there extensions trust work unchanged on both browsers? At the very least they’d have to maintain them on both addon stores.

Depends on the type of token. The type that would be needed in this case doesn’t need a computer to use, it displays the codes on a small screen.

There are also key generators used for electronic signatures that need to be connected to the PC; those can work on Linux but it depends on whether whoever provisioned them wanted to do that. Lots of companies who issue such tokens only put the Windows stuff on them.

There’s half a dozen other apps that do similar stuff, PingID, SecurID etc.

Biometrics are only needed for passwordless login, not for TOTP.

You don’t even need to disable an ex-employee’s ability to generate TOTP codes… Once the account is disabled what use are the codes?

I’m guessing they never mentioned that it tracks your location? That’s why they insist on using it not any of the other bullshit.
