  They should also kill off Facebook.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LLMs Will Always Hallucinate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know about this. But what you’re doing is different. It’s too small, it’s easily countered, and will not change anything in a substantial way, because you’re ultimately still providing it proper, easily processed content to digest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LLMs Will Always Hallucinate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Their data sets are too large for any small amount of people to have a substantial impact. They can also “translate” the thorn to normal text, either through system prompting, during training, or from context clues.

  I applaude you trying. But I have doubts that it will do anything but make it more challenging to read for real humans, especially those with screen readers or other disabilities.

  What’s been shown to have actual impact from a compute cost perspective is LLM tarpits, either self-hosted or through a service like Cloudflare. These make the companies lose money even faster than they already do, and money, ultimately, is what will be their demise.

  You could’ve just looked for off the shelf OCR software and it would probably be better, no LLM needed. OCR has been around for far longer than the current LLM bubble.

  Nvidia and the US government aren’t enough?

  A rough night for Meta and the Zuck are great nights for me.

  Blast it out to whoever you want, I’ll even show my asshole if it gets you off.

  Usenet doesn’t need VPN over SSL, just saying 🫣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's Windows lead says the next version of Windows will be "more ambient, pervasive, and multi-modal" as AI redefines the desktop interface⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think they used enough buzzwords.

  So surely no corporations or governments will be using them to remote in, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whatever happened to cheap eReaders?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I jailbroke my Kindle and use KOReader on it which made my Kindle 10x better. But you’re right in that I’d support mom & pop before Amazon.

  They could just ask me, I’d let them know when and where.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forget megabucks Nvidia GPUs, apparently all you need to run an LLM is a Pentium II CPU from 1997⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The GitHub has more details. github.com/exo-explore/llama98.c

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forget megabucks Nvidia GPUs, apparently all you need to run an LLM is a Pentium II CPU from 1997⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The other catch is that the model is tiny, which will cause hallucinations to skyrocket.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CVE Board members launch the CVE Foundation, a dedicated, non-profit to continue identifying vulnerabilities, after the US ended its contract with Mitre⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m inclined to believe it’s US based since the press release says Bremerton, WA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord is discussing an IPO⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Discord is already shit, and this will make it worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starlink dishes found on Russian military drones after being shot down⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As I said in my other comment, Ukraine is under martial law. Privacy rights are low on the list at the moment due to Russians invading and killing citizens. It doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to save lives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starlink dishes found on Russian military drones after being shot down⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ukraine is under martial law, so privacy rights (especially involving something like MAC addresses which Starlink already has, not to mention that most citizens still in country can’t afford it in the first place) are far down on the list. It’s an unfortunate cost of Russia’s invasion. The Ukrainians have already done similar things with cell-based devices, it’s not some massive undertaking that would be new to them. It’s not like they’d make it front page news, either.

  Really, it’s not even just Ukraine that could do something. Starlink can too, but because maintaining lists has no ROI they won’t until they’re forced.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starlink dishes found on Russian military drones after being shot down⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d hope that Starlink devices have attestation to prevent MAC spoofing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starlink dishes found on Russian military drones after being shot down⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s really not all that difficult from a technical perspective. All that Ukraine or Starlink would need to do is keep track of the MACs in use, blacklisting those which have been lost or destroyed. Some would slip through, but it’s better than not doing it at all.

  Of course, with Musk being pro-Russian, I don’t expect Starlink to help Ukraine out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI CEO: We may have AI superintelligence in “a few thousand days”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Buzzwords all the way down. They claimed that their latest model could reason, but don’t you dare question the accuracy or what’s going on under the hood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon is making its employees come back to the office five days a week⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Tech employees hired remotely during the pandemic are now stuck: they either must change everything about their lives to go into the office (mind you, they were full remote when hired) or they must find a new job in a super competitive area (made competitive by suits laying off employees elsewhere). Seriously, remote tech jobs get hundreds if not thousands of applicants per listing.

  Those people are fucked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans used record 100 trillion megabytes of wireless data in 2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Why does the headline use megabytes for this? Especially in a report about 2023.

  I’m so fucking tired of the AI fad. These greedy execs can fuck off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battlefield 1 will have EA's kernel level anti cheat and game will no more be playable on Linux⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I would rather click all of the download buttons I could find on ad-ridden sites before I let EA have kernel level access to my computer or deck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Redbox app axed, dashing people’s hopes of keeping purchased content⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don’t have it on your own device, server, or physical medium, you don’t own it at all.
