  • Not as easy as aspirin.

  • No that's only a tiny part of what LLMs do.

    When you enter a sentence, it first parses the sentence to obtain vectors, then it ranks the vectors, then it vectors down to a database, then it reconstructs the sentence from the information its obtained.

    Unlike most software we’re familiar with, LLMs are probabilistic in nature. This means the link between the dataset and the model is broken and unstable. This instability is the source of generative AI’s power, but it also consigns AI to never quite knowing the 100 percent truth of its thinking.

    But what is truth ? As Lionel Huckster would say.

    Most of these so-called "hallucinations" are not errors at all. What has happened is that people have had multiple entries and they have only posted the last result.

    For instance, one example was where Gemini suggested cutting the legs off couch to fit it into a room. What the poster failed to reveal was that they were using Gemini to come up with solutions to problems in a text adventure game...

  • Liberals would rather lose to outright fascism than win on an actually progressive platform

    Heh, its not because he's progressive that Democrats hate him...

  • You can't sideload in Linux.

  • You can't sideload in Linux.

    "All" you need to do is reflash your phone and reinstall Android/Chromium (soon to be renamed Android). Since you are not a certified supplier, the checking is not activated.

    On Chromebooks the setting will be on, since they are used in schools, but since it has a terminal you can remove the block, it won't be simple, probably terminal commands and changing configuration files, but it won't be impossible.

  • Because of people installing malware.
    Its only recently that most Android phone owners even used the internet features, now you need apps just to park your car. There's nothing stopping someone from having you install malware from a pirate QR code someone puts over the proper sticker.

  • Giuliani was a big mafia boss breaker in the 1980s, that's how he became famous. He is a marked man now Donnie has dumped him.

  • You can't sideload on Linux.

  • This isn't a computer, its a phone.

  • Australia Post's decision is effective immediately, from August 26, and is until "further notice".

    The duty cannot be collected in Australia. Under US law, the payment must be made in US ports.

  • I had bubonic plague when I was 11.

    There was an outbreak in South Australia in 1983. You know those pictures of mice overrunning hay bales you see every now and then ? That's old footage from the SA mice plague in 1983.

    Telecom disconnected our phone at the street and we were told to stay in the house. Then I was transferred to the bowels of the Royal Adelaide Hospital, basement level 2, through airlocks and these people in moon suits.

    They kept it secret because in 1983 people though bubonic plague was a made up medieval thing like vampires and werewolves. It wasn't until an outbreak in India in 1991 that it became widely known as a real thing.

  • Worked in south america

    oh no thats right it didn't

  • I wouldn’t really trust Ed Zitron’s math analysis when he gets a very simple thing like “there is no real AI adoption” plainly wrong

    Except he doesn't say that. the author of this article simply made that up.

    There is a high usage rate (almost entirely ChatGPT btw, despite all the money sunk into AI by others like Google) but its all the free stuff and they are losing bucketloads of money at a rate that is rapidly accelerating.

    but most tech startups run at a loss for a long time before they either turn a profit or get acquired.

    There is no path to profitability.

  • You mean opaque.

    And you will definitely find out about libraries if you attempt to install anything.

    Some packages will install in your home directory, others, for no apparent reason will spread themselves around the system in the area only available in administration mode. Good luck finding where it all went. The only way I can find is to look at the path in Synaptic, most package managers won't record it.

  • Well not really. Beef production is not a significant industry in Texas, and its generally known more for sheep than cattle.

    But beef is "manly" and so fuckwit dumb failed lawyers, who would squeal at the sight of a shovel, boast about supporting it.

  • Because it doesn't prevent piracy. Are you dense ?

  • Yes, but the legislation specifically rules out that technology. The purpose is to remove anonymity.

  • The purpose is to protect the mainstream media.
