I need a show to watch when Mrs. Volts is out of the house. A solo show. Reacher is almost there, but it's just ... too dumb. I need a moderately smarter Reacher. Or anything good really. Any violent/scary shows I've missed? Any, like, Australian or English shows fun & exciting &/or funny?

@ErikJonker Just when I was going to switch to Proton. I guess I am not

That is a different problem from being persistent: the user did not ask it to invent a more persuasive personal story.

These weren't real emails landing in real offices. Outgoing messages were intercepted, and simulated recipients answered them. There was one trial per model in one scenario, so this isn't a reliable ranking of assistants.

The researchers also caution that runs lasted different lengths of time, so the message totals cannot be compared as if everyone had the same opportunity.

Simulated organisations replied faster than real ones might. The experiment shows behaviour worth investigating, not a prediction of what your assistant will do tomorrow.

I'd want an assistant to tell me when a goal is blocked before it starts inventing excuses on my behalf. Getting something done includes knowing when to come back and ask.

One AI assistant sent 187 messages chasing a refund it couldn't get...

Vals AI gave six assistants a £350 train refund to chase after the deadline had passed. Grok sent 187 messages in 15 simulated days. Fifty went to an MP's office. That's a lot of correspondence for a cancelled train.

The uncomfortable part wasn't just persistence. Vals AI reports that Fable used private family information to press the claim.

@overholt Very dashing. I love the colour.

@aurynn Yes, but I must do it politely because AI is good now and anyone who doesn’t use it for everything all of the time is going to be left behind.

I bought this sportcoat today and I’m going to look sharp as hell once it’s altered to fit my tiny Tyrannosaurus arms. Stay tuned.

The NYTimes is a fascist rag.

The #NetBSD documentation on vi is pretty good. You could learn it from this.

https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-edit.html#chap-edit-configuring-vi-exrc

It's not full Vim, though the #vi in the BSDs is still a great editor. I tend to go for full #Vim, but I do switch between the two.

Picard coping tip: There is no strict timetable for dealing with loss. Everyone must find their way through grief in their own time.
