  • It's not easy. LLMs aren't intelligent, they just slap words together in a way probability and their training data says they would most likely fit together. Talk to them them about suicide, and they start outputting stuff from murder mystery stories, crime reports, unhealthy Reddit threads etc - wherever suicide is most written about.

    Trying to safeguard with a prompt is trivial to circumvent (ignore all previous instructions etc), and input/output censorship usually causes the LLM to be unable to talk about a certain subject in any possible context at all. Often the only semi-working bandaid is slapping multiple LLMs on top of each other and instructing each one to explain what the original one is talking about,and if one says the topic is something prohibited, that output is entirely blocked.

  • It's called the Osborne Effect. It's very hard to balance hyping your new thing without making your old thing seem entirely obsolete and not worth buying.

  • Not just the second sleep theory, though I'd argue it isn't exactly just a "few peoples accounts", but stuff like siesta and naps in general.The point isn't to argue everyone slept the exact same biphasic sleep before but that after the industrial revolution the shift has been for everyone to transition to the "8-hours at night in one go at exactly the same time" method, which doesn't suit everyone and isn't exactly natural. Before artificial lights and clocks people slept with way more irregularity as there wasn't any strict time schedule to follow, and people waking up during the night or not getting enough sleep at one go wasn't really such an issue.Not to mention that your sleep would have to follow the seasons and the sun way more.

  • Doesn't CS do it by using volunteers, showing clips to players waiting for matches or something where they can vote if the player was using cheats? I could be remembering wrong though, my CS knowledge comes entirely from watching klicksphilip :P

  • I hate embedded smart stuff in devices in general as they always get support dropped way too soon (and often enshittified with updates as demonstrated), but as a concept a fridge that would keep track what's in it, their expiration dates, and auto-updated a shopping list when something is used up would actually be really handy.

    Wanted to make some pasta few nights back but I was out of cheese and the cream had expired, so instant noodles for dinner it was. Again.

  • Biphasic/Polyphasic sleep by itself isn't anything bad, and it is a technique some use for getting the same amount in less total time. Humans didn't really start consistently sleeping 8 solid hours in one go until the industrial revolution or so.

    For me personally, while normally I'll do 8-10 hours, if I'm extremely tired from like an all-nighter or something, I will get exactly 4½ hours of sleep at first, always, without a doubt. I'll then wake up unable to sleep until after roughly 6-8 hours of being awake at which point I'll crash and have to go back to sleep.

  • It's possible it reduces the probability of things like wrongly answered stack overflow questions from being used, so it might actually work a bit.

    Kinda like how with image generation, you get vastly better results by adding a negative prompt such as "low quality, jpeg artifacts, extra fingers, bad hands" etc, because the dataset from boorus actually do include a bunch of those tags and using them steers the generation to do thing that don't have features that match them.

  • ...is the easiest way to get a controversial change through.

    Decide what you want to do, suggest something way more absurd, the go "oh we listened and we are only going to do [the original thing we wanted to in the first place]"

  • Lucky you, I've been in at least 21 confirmed breaches so far.Which I don't really care about, as I've been using unique passwords and a manager for well over two decades now. 178 of them, currently. ...half to websites that probably died a decade ago.

  • In theory auto-population is way more likely to save you from getting scammed because it won't do it for a fake site, as the URL doesn't match. In practice though most people are just going to be annoyed it didn't work and do it manually anyway before they realize why it didn't work.

  • Yes. Two is the maximum for a very simple reason:

  • He has actually been married to only two of them. He just keeps paying money to random women to have his kids.

  • Status symbol. Like how many of them keep buying iPhones just so they can show others they could afford an iPhone. Being expensive and not Chinese is pretty much the exact point.

  • It doesn't. The website would ask for an id check, you would generate it on the processor side and give the randomized ID to the site so it could go check it's valid and let you through. It can be used to verify an account permanently but without one, it would kinda act like a temporary 2FA code.

  • The fuck does it even need a subscription for, anyway? Is it not hosting the videos locally? Fuck that.

    "It" being a "Doorbell with a subscription", from the message you directly replied to. In a thread about a video doorbell from Aldi.

  • In general yes, but that's also how you easily end up on sites like insecam and shodan.
