This is a nearly perfect example demonstrating how putting "a human in the loop" is in no way a solution to the problem that all LLMs produce incorrect outputs and cannot be prevented from doing so. Their objective is to produce "plausible text" and therefore preventing the user from noticing the false parts is the success condition.
In this case, the users were the many authors of a paper and included the developers of such a model -- the people who should be most able to catch such a thing. In my experience, one ends up reading and re-reading a paper that is being submitted for review such that that it is practically the best case for the "human in the loop" to catch the nonsense. Even in that situation, though, the autocomplete was sparkling enough to avoid detection.

Facebook releases a new feature that I'm sure their legal team approved of:

As with the demise of windows10, various meta happenings around Whatsapp open possibilities to welcome refugees. Instead of blaming them for not having had whatever insights earlier, there are often just very practical questions where a helping hand does wonders. Offering help instead of trying to convince.
Currently many companies are giving win11-incompatible laptops away, often powerful systems that deserve upgrading to Linux, and then donating then. It also helps to counter hardware waste.
Fzf is a powerful and versatile fuzzy finder tool for Linux or Unix. It acts as an interactive filter for a wide range of lists, including files, command history, running processes, hostnames, bookmarks, and Git commits. Its "fuzzy" matching algorithm allows you to quickly find what you need by typing patterns with omitted characters. This makes it a must have tool for any Linux/Unix developer or IT professional looking to boost their cli productivity https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

@fjFrederic Jacobs Uhm, Russia had to buy LNG tankers with icebreaking bows from Finland a while ago. If the USA wants foreign-built icebreakers, they should forego the Jones Act and buy them from Finland.

@fjFrederic Jacobs He can get the icebreakers from Finland - Finland even sold many of them to Russia.

What I'm listening to today: "Cwejman/Verbos Dub", Lucas Marchal
Last week I linked this guy doing synth unboxing experiments, here's what he sounds like doing a completed track. Dark, intent dub using the full spectrum of electronic production. Slipping silently under abandoned awnings and cloudy skies as your robotic pursuers nip constantly at your heels. Glance up and your gaze is met by the first touches of rain, and a dual-rotor helicopter blotting out the sun
What I'm listening to today: "Carrier",
Brandon McGhee
Extremely satisfying, semi-live electronic jam, feels like early Boards of Canada. Authentic-sounding/non-authentic analog synths on the Microfreak, lo-fi hip hop beats on the SP-404, and enormous Zoia reverb. What you see is what you get. Cool disintegration outro.
Hey, Linux people: a LOT of folks are screaming off Windows right now.
Be. Kind. To. Them.
They don't know much yet, so they are going to ask really basic questions. If you're KIND, you might get some to give it a try and stick to it bc they know they can ask for help. If you're unkind, you're showing them using Linux will be *worse* than Windows. If you can't bring yourself to be kind, then SAY NOTHING. Let others pick up that slack.
Okay Grandma, today we're going to learn how to install Gentoo! :D
I noticed a number of meetups on meetup.com that I long ago joined shutting-down.
I wonder if this just says something about the meetups I joined — or if this say suggests something broader happening with meetup.com
Has anyone seen similar?
