Interesting LLM jailbreak approach. I imagine this is going to get harder and harder to guardrail against, because it takes significantly longer context awareness.

This "one small trick"... got my uplink speed to double :)
The trick? Instead of Cat6 to DOCSIS modem, I used an SFP+ to Ethernet module... this gets the full 2.5 Gbps out of the Cat6
Though my ISP can only bring 1.5 GBs, I'm still getting 2x what I was before the module.

To my Euro friends, I'm planning a London trip in a few months (in August for my birthday).
We are trying to pick hotel, but everything looks extra touristy. What would you recommend for 4 or 5 star hotels and what area should be our base?
