For a while, I was under the impression that all spiciness, or burning sensation in food flavoring, would come from capsaicin, the compound that causes it in chili peppers. Then I realized that Sichuan peppers are a quite different kind of heat. Wasabi (horseradish) is different yet again.
How many hot-flavored compounds are there? At least five!

The reviews are of points in the OSM map, and they are published as open data with a permissive license so that they can used for anything. So it’s not a project associated with OSM, but they work perfectly together nevertheless. That’s the beauty of open data.

There are safeguards: This works only for one community per post, the second and later ones are ignored.
It only works in top posts (toots), not in replies, replies also cannot post it to other lemmy communities.
So one mastodon thread can only appear in 0 or 1 lemmy community, no more, they can’t spam from there.

A student came to Master LLM with an issue. "Master," they asked, "my AI assistant deleted my database file. I never asked it to do that! How can I prevent this from happening in future?"
"You must tell the model to make no mistakes," the Master replied.
"But I did, Master LLM. And I always use another, smaller-weight AI model to check the main model's commands for safety before executing them. Why didn't the checking model catch the dangerous command?"
"You must tell the model to make no mistakes," the Master replied.
Upon hearing this, the student was enlightened.
@lynnesbian have you tried with third LLM?

Mastodon to Lemmy Federation Test.
@fediverse
Writing this from Mastodon as a Test. Hello!
This is my first time doing this, i didn't knew that you could do this with Lammy groups until a few hours ago.
Can someone tell me how Lemmy instances handles quotes from Mastodon and PeerTube links and stuff like that? Don't want to pollute the this group with test messages.

No, no exagero..Al lío!
Resulta que el CEO y fundador de la todopoderosa NVIDIA ha tenido un lío con una espía china, que le robaba secretos industriales del sector, que pasaba a China vía Taiwan, mientras retozaba con el señor........que encima estaba casado.
La cosa se ha enredado tanto que ha tenido que admitir el lío.....

Will Bunch makes a compelling case for Chris Van Hollen for US Senate Majority Leader. https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/van-hollen-replace-schumer-leader-20261108.html
What is up with the NYT declaring that Schumer engineered the Dems’ huge victory? This seems like magical thinking. I’m not aware of Schumer being particularly involved in most of the flips that happened. I’ve contacted my senators, hoping they’ll support a new leader. Seems like Warren and Markey would be up for that, being progressive (if ancient).
