I skimmed through the section and simply assumed the worst, sorry about that. Still, it is closed source, so you just have to trust them, bro, and that’s more often than not the wrong approach.

edit: Skimming a bit more, there actually seem to be some valid concerns around privacy, since TamperMonkey seems to have used (still uses?) google analytics, which is enabled by default, so take that as you will; see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26057106

TamperMonkey is closed source. I’d recommend ViolentMonkey instead, since it’s open source and is practically identical to the other *Monkey extensions.

edit: To add, the developer of TamperMonkey has also shown themselves to be not worthy of trust; see Wikipedia under Controversy.

You might want to give some sources for that claim.

This article from Time summarizes quite well my view of the issues related to attention span. This is certainly not limited to the likes of tiktok or twitter, but I think those can be considered as representing two of the worst platform formats for meaningful content.

Sure, there are those people, but that’s not the point here. Lemmy doesn’t enforce some arbitrary short length to its posts in an attempt to force the users to engage more with the platform instead of the actual content. The same cannot be said of tiktok or twitter, for example.

Seems to have been hot enough to get under your skin, though. Thanks for proving my point. 👍

Hot take: let this brain rot format die already. If you cannot hold your attention for longer than a few minutes at a time, you might want to work on that instead of embracing it.

Elon’s Death

For a brief moment, I was so excited… Rip deer.

Oh my… I though the big companies had a mutual understanding that throwing shit at each other is a huge no-no. There’s enough shit to drown them all in it time and again, so this should be hilarious to watch unfold.

I didn’t say it would be easy, but anything TSMC currently produces would likely find a new buyer even with no US customers, so in the short run the loser would not be TSMC. In the long run, it’s pointless to speculate, since US would probably try to level Taiwan down rather than let China have the semiconductor sector to itself… Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that, though.

At least they are consistent, so I guess that’s something…

Not really. China would just buy it all if given the chance and the US companies would be fucked, since TSMC is practically a monopoly within its field at the moment.

This reads like a desperate attempt at proving to investors that their “AI” is useful for handling factual information, with a hint of plain old corporate bribery to avoid further lawsuits from publishers. Grifters gonna grift, and all that.

And do some more stock buybacks and raise dividends, of course.

Careful now, you’ll open the door for fElon Musk 2028. We don’t want that, do we?

Years ago, you could - I’m not sure what the situation is currently, but it would be extremely weird if they had removed this possibility entirely. You could see if the official command line tool does what you need. At least there seems to be an option to change the password.

Ok, great to know. Nuance doesn’t cross internet well, so your intention wasn’t clear, given all the uninformed hype & grifters around AI. Being somewhat blunt helps getting the intended point across better. ;)

You can play with words all you like, but that’s not going to change the fact that LLMs fail at reasoning. See this Wired article, for example.

I have to disagree with that. To quote the comment I replied to:

AI figured the “rescued” part was either a mistake or that the person wanted to eat a bird they rescued

Where’s the “turn of phrase” in this, lol? It could hardly read any more clearly that they assume this “AI” can “figure” stuff out, which is simply false for LLMs. I’m not trying to attack anyone here, but spreading misinformation is not ok.

Or, hear me out, there was NO figuring of any kind, just some magic LLM autocomplete bullshit. How hard is this to understand?

If the reason for you wanting to avoid bitlocker is incompatibility with linux, you might want to reconsider. It’s been many years since I had drives with bitlocker+ntfs, but they worked reasonably well back then with dislocker, so perhaps check that out before considering alternatives.
