One of the best things ever about LLMs is how you can give them absolute bullshit textual garbage and they can parse it with a huge level of accuracy.

Some random chunks of html tables, output a csv and convert those values from imperial to metric.

Fragments of a python script and ask it to finish the function and create a readme to explain the purpose of the function. And while it’s at it recreate the missing functions.

Copy paste of a multilingual website with tons of formatting and spelling errors. Ask it to fix it. Boom done.

Of course, the problem here is that developers can no longer clean their inputs as well and are encouraged to send that crappy input straight along to the LLM for processing.

There’s definitely going to be a whole new wave of injection style attacks where people figure out how to reverse engineer AI company magic.

Anybody seriously believing this has a misunderstanding of how little people care about what OS they use and how much they care that it works the way they expect.

A lot of people talk about decision fatigue in their jobs. So it’s a gift of self care to buy 10 of the same shirt, eat the same lunch every day, etc

IMO all forms of taking care of yourself are self care. You have to love yourself before you can offer anything to anybody else.

The effort starts an upward spiral of increasing rewards. You feel better about yourself, people treat you differently, you feel more confident, and the cycle repeats.

I thought it was so that if you build a following, and then decide to change instances, you keep the followers?

Perhaps I’ve missed the point too.

Terms of Sale:

Buyer agrees to sell user data to TT DataVacuum, LLC

Buyer agrees to install For You page algorithm updates per the requirements of TT DataVacuum, LLC on a quarterly basis.

Btw our lawyers are still setting up our new LLC with nominee directors. Dont worry, totally American.

Set some limits. Each person can own one primary residence and x number of secondary dwellings. Each additional dwelling is taxed at a higher rate than the one before.

People can still buy themselves a house and maybe another couple houses or condos for their family or investment.

But big landlords can’t profitably buy up neighborhoods then crank up the rent. Or perhaps they can own them, but they’re required to be non-profits and expenses and rents are highly controlled relative to income in the area.

It’s a tough problem to solve though… Huge apartment buildings do have economies of scale that permit high density living.

And property owners who don’t sell or develop their land at all because there’s not enough incentive are a big problem in other parts of the world.

Will this change on YouTube’s side affect Invidious instances?

Normally it ends the conversation at this point and refuses to answer any thing else, disabling the text box. At least it let you try again!

For a lot of people the bar serves as a “third place” as well which is an important part of many communities.

I live in a big city and every single one of these things is within 15 minutes walk from my door except a sports arena, although if you substitute that for a gym with a pool and basketball court there’s half a dozen.

I love it because I never need to use my car. Although there are consequences… Heavy traffic, loud music at night, unruly people in my neighborhood, ambulance sounds, people who rev their cars and motorcycles, trash on the street sometimes, etc.

I grew up a bit far outside of any neighborhood which meant every single trip involved the car and 20 plus minutes of driving. That lifestyle is perfect for some people because they appreciate the isolation. But it also meant planning well ahead and if you needed a quick run to the hardware store or some convenience item it would take half a day. The percentage of my childhood life in the car was too damn high.

Totally agree. The smtp protocol server to server interoperability made email all work smoothly across many federated hosts and I think ActivityPub is more or less designed with a similar strategy, except for defederations. I guess the equivalent would be blocking spam at your smtp gateway, lol.

It’s like running your own email server in the early 2000s. For large businesses it totally makes sense.

Hobbiests can do it to if they are interested.

Most people will land at a “shared” service and let someone else handle the admin tasks. I’m afraid that eventually there might only be “outlook.com, gmail.com, and yahoo.com” so to speak, because it’s just the easy way to go for most people and economies of scale make it more feasible for the operators who find ways to get paid.

Good bye little one!

-Im still here! I just hurt my wing

Rest in peace, you were the best

-i’m not dead, just give me a lift!

We’ll always remember you for your accomplishments

-Yay! Let’s go home and tell everyone. My battery is getting low. Hello? Hello?

That overly aggressive issue manager closing tickets because the ticket opener didnt reply fast enough

“Can’t replicate, closed.”

Worrying about problems definitely helps to keep you alive, but the motivation to do something ideally comes from a prefrontal cortex desire to improve rather than a fight or flight response to threats.

Baritastic is free and has a decent UI and database.

It’s definitely strange how the pandemic kind of created a time warp for everyone. It’s like we just lost 2-3 years into oblivion.

My bike is made from an element that has been shaped by man into a more useful… shape.

Yeah these people have only a rudimentary idea of what’s going on and very little idea what happens if they make a mistake
