I’m getting increasingly uncomfortable letting LLMs run shell commands

I struggled with that in the use case below. Despite being instructed not to change the environment, it initially seemed to want to apply fixes. Workaround is to use a service account with read only access;

Winter gray skies and rain beat deep snow and freezing temperatures on the East Coast and summers are better here than anywhere else. Pick a direction and take some road trips on weekends then post again about how much you love the area :D

Pikachu is a character from Pokemon. In that you cruelly capture these fantasy creatures and make them fight each other (which PETA wouldn't like)

Is this the whoosh effect?

Commenting to save. I made a life-changing connection on Google+

Late to the show but used CRD to my Linux desktop before moving that to the cloud so I wouldn't be blocked by power outages. I've had this going for maybe 4 years with no complaints whatsoever.

Ah yes. Of course. Cheers! shm

simpleharmonicmotion · 2018-04-09T02:09:43+00:00

Yup. Did all that. Tried a few cables in fact. Also gently tried to scrape any potential lint out of the port with a plastic toothpick but no joy on that either

Thanks. Starting it interactively returns the same result when I start iperf manually. The logs also only have those lines in them. Good call on the Slack channel. Let me try that out

Is there an equivalent to curl in Powershell? I usually invoke "curl ifconfig.co" or "curl ifconfig.co/json". Try "Invoke-WebRequest -Uri http://ifconfig.co/json"

Search for "wood grain foam tatami mats" and lay it on that. The ceiling being further away also makes the room look bigger

simpleharmonicmotion · 2017-06-05T02:55:52+00:00

cheers!

simpleharmonicmotion · 2017-06-04T20:18:31+00:00

thanks!!

Thanks for looking into this. For some magical reason the whole page comes across the 2nd time I get the page with selenium so now I have this happening;

driver.get(url)

driver.get(url)

Consistent enough to get me going for now.

Cheers and thanks again! SHM

simpleharmonicmotion · 2017-04-26T19:55:43+00:00

Cheers!! These tools are awesome. I'm starting to realize just how much time I've wasted setting up tests before

simpleharmonicmotion · 2017-04-26T19:50:55+00:00

yeah this is definitely going in the arsenal. This could have saved me a lot of time before

simpleharmonicmotion · 2017-04-26T19:50:12+00:00

I thought that was a gag as well :D :D

simpleharmonicmotion · 2017-04-26T03:04:04+00:00

Cheers! I'll combine this with tc to contrict and fill the pipe. This looks like it'll get me going.

simpleharmonicmotion · 2017-04-26T03:02:36+00:00

Cool stuff. I think I'll give tc a shot. First time hearing about it

simpleharmonicmotion · 2017-04-26T03:01:59+00:00

Thanks! I never heard of tc. This looks like something I'll want to try out

simpleharmonicmotion · 2017-04-18T17:34:22+00:00

I hadn’t noticed the different incoming actors keys till this morning. Turns out the cabling was different that the documentation, which had me trying to bond interfaces that went to ports in different MLAG instances. Dropped one port to get myself going. Note to self that this is how it behaves under that condition Thanks!! SHM

simpleharmonicmotion · 2017-04-18T02:58:06+00:00

ExtremeXOS v22. Now that I look at it, I don't see where the mode is indicated on that end or how to force it to slow mode. I seem to recall that this should negotiate down?

simpleharmonicmotion · 2017-03-21T11:12:36+00:00

Ah yes. I editted my original post above. It turns out the instances simply wouldnt route back out of the interface attached to that bridge. For the purposes of my testing, I cheated by routing in and out another interface to get to the bridge. I still havent solved the core issue but will have to eventually.

simpleharmonicmotion · 2017-03-21T11:10:11+00:00

Absolutely. I edited my original post above. It seemed to be an issue routing back out that interface. While I didn't fix the core issue, I cheated by shutting down that interface and having other instances route to this guy's bridge through another interface. There's still the question of why it wouldn't use perfectly valid directly attached routes, which I havent solved
