    It uses halium and libhybris. Flatpak apps work perfectly fine on my FLX1. I have no usability issues with the phone at all.

    Sometimes. My feet don't have a random chance to send me in a random direction to that which I intend.

    ...you can do that with a pencil, though. What an impossibly weird thing to "need" an LLM for.

    If you haven't read it yourself how do you know that the LLM is correct?

    I always want to donate more to open source projects but as far as I know there aren't any I can get tax credits for in Canada. My budget is strapped just enough that I can't quite…

    LLMs literally only tell you what you want to hear. They are Dunning-Krueger machines. Ask it about something you don't know: you'll learn something new. Ask it about something you…

    The current administration is using LLMs which are telling them to instruct the NSA not to talk about privilege escalation. I addressed that: bad policies and decisions don't go aw…

    Really? How have policies been made for the past hundred years without it then? It's completely bonkers that people keep saying stuff like this, virtually implying that we didn't h…

    Not to mention that the radicalisation and terrorism USAID helped prevent from fomenting has likely saved the US many trillions in rebuilding efforts and healthcare.

    The poem won't be unique. It will follow a basic formula and make sure to pick up the words you asked it to use. You might not get the exact same poem every single time, but there'…

    That's because you're beginning with the assertion that LLMs are tools. You cannot create things with an LLM. You can't be creative with them. They are not useful for building thin…

    This very much sounds like you would consider asking a Subway employee for a sandwich to be 'cooking'...

    You have to remember that fascism's application of othering is not logical, it's just a convenient method of gaining leverage. The Nazis targeted Jews because it was easy to weave …

    I guess you're right, "garbage" would be a better term, but this appropriately places it in the right category.

    I'm cool with using the word Deepfake for text. Generated text should generally be referred to in the derogatory, considering it very rarely adds anything of value.

    I'm interested to hear more about how you can verify information without a source. What are you looking at when you search for the verification, exactly?

    You made a new account just to post this; I'm flattered! Perhaps your normal account is tied to your professional identity? Do take care.

    How? It's given you some information and now you have to seek out a source to verify that it's correct. Finding information is hard work. It's why librarian is a valuable skilled p…

    The assertion is that they "learned" that Bitcoin came from Occupy from an AI. If AI is teaching you, you are going to collect a thousand papercuts of lies.

    No DP through the USB-C port right now, no. I believe it's missing from the hardware. It's a little frustrating because "Convergence" options are exposed in the UI.

    Are you sure it's helped you learn? In the early days of ChatGPT where it seemed like this fun new thing, I used it to "learn" C. I don't remember anything it told me, and none of …
