Can you search the web for probable corrections to broken links? Has anyone had luck doing this with a web enabled model?

His gesture was _exactly_ like Hitler's. A gesture he repeated. The gesture was quite different to that he'd used previously for 'giving people his heart'. He's known to be a white supremacist. That is apparently his heritage too. He supports far right parties in Europe. Other 'Republican' politicians have repeated the gesture from the dais; but they seem to have made other excuses. None of the many videos or photos…
> His gesture was _exactly_ like Hitler's. Hitler's was unlike the general population's, as it had a bend to it. You can bend reality all you like, but the intent of giving the Hitler salute was not there, as he has said. He's not secretly a nazi, and he's not openly a nazi. He's right-wing, yes. That's not illegal, and it happens to be the majority vote in the US. The most reasonable criticism is calling it a Roman…
The amount of mental gymnastics people will go through because they like a white supremacist is nuts

“Prompting” is kind of a myth honestly. Think about it, how much marginal influence does it really have if you say OP’s version vs a fully formed sentence? The keywords are what gets it in the area.
I find that providing more context and details initially leads to far more success for my uses. Once there’s a bit of context, I can start barking terms and commands tersely.
That’s fair. I think the difference here is that the entire context needed is provided.
If you’re having to explain an existing problem with edge cases, then sure, the context window needs the edge cases defined as well.

The longer I've been in the workforce, the more I realize most humans actually kind of suck at their jobs. LLMs being more human like is the opposite of what I want.
This is why agentic AI will likely cause a cataclysim in white-collar labor soon. The reality is, a lot of jobs just need "OK" performers, not excellent ones, and the tipping point will be when the average AI is more useful than the average human.
A surprising number of jobs could probably be done with AI right now, depressingly enough. Look at programming. Yes, AI is nowhere near as good as a decent programmer, can't handle rarer or more esoteric languages and frameworks well and struggles to fix its own issues in many circumstances. That's not good enough for a high level FAANG job or a very technical field with exact requirements.
But there are lots of 'easy' development roles that could be mostly or entirely replaced by it nonetheless. Lots of small companies that just need a boring CRUD website/web app that an AI system could probably throw together in a few days, small agency roles where 'moderately customised WordPress/Drupal/whatever' is the norm and companies that have one or two tech folks in-house to handle some basic systems.
All of these feel like they could be mostly replaced by something like Claude, with maybe a single moderately skilled dev there to fix anything that goes wrong. That's the sort of work that's at risk from AI, and it's a larger part of the industry than you'd imagine.
Heck, we've already seen a few companies replacing copywriters and designers with these systems because the low quality slop the systems pump out is 'good enough' for their needs.

Not UBI per se, but this exists in rural parts of Southern Spain in some way, and is called Rural Employment Plan (PER in its Spanish initials). The give simple jobs, like cleaning or painting, to people on the lower bottom of earnings. Most people in that plan are people with low formation, like those who left school in their mid teens.
Sounds like a minimum wage
More like a labor subsidy, backed by taxes... Which would need a minimum wage law as well.
This seems like a great idea to me! Making it cheaper for businesses to hire people for these jobs would lower prices for everyone, improving accessibility of the services.

I had tried using monolith [0] to feed webpages into Claude but all the html was too much token context. I ended up Print > Save as PDF-ing somewhat often and that worked pretty well. But just giving a URL is ideal. [0] https://github.com/Y2Z/monolith
Using the fetch MCP tool(which is very basic) works fairly well for me, though various sites will block it from time to time. https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/sr...

The page itself describes a --ignore-robots-txt and customizing the user agent. Guess we can just all copy OpenAI and continue to make SourceHut's life miserable /s
This is a cool tool, thanks for sharing
Re: Claude can now search the web
#627I wonder if it will actually respect the robots.txt this time.
Maybe we need a new "ai.txt" that says "yes I mean you, ChatGPT et. al."
Small difference. Its called llms.txt

Is google search bad? Click here to find ten reasons why it is bad and 10 reasons why you should still use it. Yes, it is that bad. Website of Nike? Website of Starbucks? Likely position number one. Every product, category etc., e.g. what rice cooker should I buy? Is diseased by link and affiliate spam. There is a reason why people put +reddit on search terms.
"what rice cooker should I buy" returns a pretty in depth article on bonappetit.com and reddit as the top results, both recommending Zojirushi
This isn't quite what "bad search" means, but that search gives me a full page of ads, and I have to scroll down to even see the first actual result.
Re: Claude can now search the web
#629Searching the web is a great feature in theory, but every implementation I've used so far looks at the top X hits and then interprets it to be the correct answer. When you're talking to an LLM about popular topics or common errors, the top results are often just blogspam or unresolved forum posts, so the you never get an answer to your problem. More of an indicator that web search is more unusable than ever, but inte…

Right! So everyone would choose to pursue passions/interests/leisure. We would be going into debt with no meaningful benefit to the taxpayer. Direct malinvestment.
Isn’t the investment to avoid a revolution? To avoid those that cannot find work from dismantling and tearing down everything around them so they can get what they need. Some might consider that to be a benefit to taxpayers and not a poor investment.
Free money never works. It’s been attempted countless times. In fact, it exacerbates the wealth gap as the rich own assets that scale with inflation while the poor do not.
