It is a command line tool "huggingface-cli", it's just installed with a differently-named pypi package. I wouldn't call this a full hallucination because anyone could make this mistake.
Re: Slopsquatting
#23all I want to figure out
is how to "manually" (semi-manually) tweak the LLMs parameters so we can alter what it 'knows for sure'
is this doable yet??? or is this one of those questions whose answer is best kept behind NDAs and other such practices?

#24We need to have a professional software engineering license, at least for applications that are handling sensitive data. Why is it that it takes 1000 hours of study to cut people's hair, but anyone off the street can write some software that collects people's driver's licenses? (Looking at you, Tea app developers)
> Why is it that it takes 1000 hours of study to cut people's hair...
Protectionism by a de facto trade guild was always my assumption.
There are a lot of activities where bad practitioners present significant danger to society and licensure makes sense. I never understood how cutting hair rises to that level. I'd love to know how licensure in the barber profession is anything other than a bald-faced attempt at building a moat. It seems like the market could correct for a bad practitioner in the barber space pretty easily, and with little risk to society.

then you will need to input your license everytime you open develop tools...
sooner or later command line interfaces will require background checks and be limited to a close select group of government approved individuals, e.g. like guns in japan.

I think something like professional licenses are easy to see benefits of but really hard to see the downsides. How many wonderful things _wont_ be created when you start gatekeeping something? Maybe it is worth it but it's not some free win
no one is prohibiting hackers from hacking. i do my haircut at home without any licenses. what you need license for is to provide services to other people for money.

#27Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's in the first sentence? > Slopsquatting is a type of cybersquatting.
I'm asking more how this meets the notability requirements for a separate Wikipedia article. I'm all for having lots of small Wikipedia articles, but the past few years they've been tending toward combining small articles together. And this is more like a dictionary entry than an encyclopedia entry.
I think it’s much better like this. It is it’s own fascinating thing and not lost in a long general Wikipedia entry.

This question makes no sense (logically, not grammatically) in the context of LLMs.
They don't 'know' anything. They are a many-dimensional matrix of the next most likely syllable given all syllables that have come before (roughly speaking).
To ask what it 'knows' is to ask why a chicken crossed the road.

We still barely know how LLMs really work. Hard to tune things you dont understand.
Inbefore people telling me "akshually we know all about bla bla bla..." no we dont.

That’s already how Python packages work. The problem here isn’t the hyphen/underscore.
