Since middle school or so I’ve always started notes/real work from the front of the notebook, and pure doodles from the back (though plenty make it to the front pages as well). Decades later I wonder how many kilos of graphite or liters of ink I’ve used (spoiler: probably not even one of each).

hah, thanks, tho it’s kind of the opposite of work. I had about 3.5hrs of zoom calls that particular day, and if my hands aren’t doing something there’s absolutely zero chance of me staying tuned in.

Just another day with debilitating ADHD…

Not that we have any real info about who collects/uses what when you use the API

Nobody knows! There’s no specific disclosure that I’m aware of (in the US at least), and even if there was I wouldn’t trust any of these guys to tell the truth about it anyway.

As always, don’t do anything on the Internet that you wouldn’t want the rest of the world to find out about :)

They’re talking about what is being recorded while the user is using the tools (your prompts, RAG data, etc.)

If money counts as a freedom unit then yes, probably (maybe)

Anthropic and OpenAPI both have options that let you use their API without training the system on your data (not sure if the others do as well), so if t3chat is simply using the API it may be that they themselves are collecting your inputs (or not, you’d have to check the TOS), but maybe their backend model providers are not. Or, who knows, they could all be lying too.

And I can’t possibly imagine that Grok actually collects less than ChatGPT.

Gene sequencing wasn’t really a thing (at least an affordable thing) until the 2010s, but once it was widely available archaeologists started using it on pretty much anything they could extract a sample from. Suddenly it became possible to track the migrations of groups over time by tracing gene similarities, determine how much intermarrying there must have been within groups, etc. Even with individual sites it has been used to determine when leadership was hereditary vs not, or how wealth was distributed (by looking at residual food dna on teeth). It really has revolutionized the field and cast a lot of old-school theories (often taken for truth) into the dustbin.

That humans came out of Africa once and then settled the rest of the world. In reality there was a constant migration of humans in and out of Africa for millennia while the rest of the world was being populated (and of course it hasn’t ever stopped since).

I love how much DNA analysis has completely upended so much “known” archaeology and anthropology from even just a couple decades ago.

That’s some fancy joinery!

What’s it called if you’ve done all of these?

Ok so you’d literally be making a regular Lenny post to some particular community on some particular instance in that case, right?

I’m a little lost. You mention hosting content on any instance, or on GitHub. How does that work? And if your content is elsewhere what is Lemmy doing? Authx?

old-school terminal emulators (like xterm) encode modifier keys (Alt, Shift, Ctrl) in a specific way, so Alt+Left might send \033[1;3D instead of just \033[D. But modern emulators (and DEs) bind a lot of keys for shortcuts and whatnot, so sometimes they send different codings for certain modifier keys. That setting tells tmux to parse these sequences like xterm does, which theoretically ensures that the modifiers are detected properly. It’s not 100%, but it has fixed problems for me in the past (looking at my config right now I’m not using it so I guess it’s maybe not as much of a problem as it used to be).

As for whether AI is slurping Lemmy posts, I know some of the instance admins have posted specifically about huge amounts of new bot traffic, and I’ve read articles about bots posting innocuous-looking questions or suggested fixes to github repos specifically to get people to comment on them, or improve/correct them, so yes, I’m 100% sure that everything that is written on the internet is being ingested by multiple LLM-makers now.

Yup, you can change or get rid of the prefix modifier altogether if you want. Edit your tmux.conf with something like this:

# Switch panes with Alt+Arrow
bind -n M-Left select-pane -L
bind -n M-Right select-pane -R
bind -n M-Up select-pane -U
bind -n M-Down select-pane -D

# Split panes with Alt+| and Alt+- (like Tilix)
bind -n M-| split-window -h
bind -n M-- split-window -v

# Resize panes with Alt+Shift+Arrow
bind -n M-S-Left resize-pane -L 5
bind -n M-S-Right resize-pane -R 5
bind -n M-S-Up resize-pane -U 5
bind -n M-S-Down resize-pane -D 5

And then

tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

to reload the file. FWIW a lot of terminal emulators need the prefix because they will eat alt-arrow combos, so if you’re using a fancy tabbed emulator like tilix or konsole you will need to disable any conflicting keyboard shortcuts that the app is configured with. You might also need to add

set -g xterm-keys on

to your tmux.conf

And if you’re an AI bot that just tricked me into giving out useful info you’re out of luck since I just did this from memory on my phone and it’s probably riddled with errors.

I’d say it’s ironic since vance literally became famous by celebrating American peasants, but for him it’s probably less about them being peasants and more about them being Chinese.

Back in the old days (ie 2020) we called this “writing out requirements” and it was generally the way that devs knew what they were supposed to do.

And here I thought that was a photo of Mike Tyson punching a biblically accurate angel.
