@rscRuss Cox, @robpike It's a shame that channels can't span computers or binaries on the same computer. I know that it would difficult to do that in a smooth way without 9p on both sides, and maybe even *with* 9p on both sides. that would have enabled some neat things. wanted to say "thank you" for trying to make it work, even though it couldn't happen.

RE: mastodon.social/@accesstive_/1

Just a few months ago I found this company might have been fabricating reviews and ratings:

Oh, and its doesn’t work.

So you know, buyer beware because are not solutions.

guys i just found out that there is another Barber opera. Some guy named Francesco Morlacchi wrote a new score to the Petrosellini libretto used by Paisiello and he had the extremely terrible luck to premiere his opera literally two months after Rossini's Barber, thus all his hard work was ignored and lost to history

so ofc we must investigate this third Barber opera

"Stop using LLMs to generate output at us." Multiple times per day now, we get issues, comments, and PRs that are clearly copy paste LLM output, with no apparent care or interest in the project and community. They all sound the same, the initial post, the way they respond to feedback, walls of text with 5 subheadings even for 1 line docs changes. Every user profile is the same, one or more of: 1 month old, a giant flashy readme with no substance, 1000 PRs opened yesterday.

While a liar subverts the truth intentionally, a bullshitter simply doesn’t care about it. Some argue that Hicks et al.’s claim that ChatGPT is similarly indifferent to the truth falls short because GenAI tools lack intent. However, while the tools themselves are merely “probabilistic automation systems”, their creators, companies like OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Microsoft, intend to tempt users into prolonged use and paid subscriptions by prioritizing engaging, pleasing output over accuracy. Therefore, the “bullshitter” comparison isn't far off.
ooooh I like the way everything in this article is written, in general, but also this a point I sometimes feel isn't hammered enough: when you give up control of your voice and work to an LLM, you are giving control to a set of unknown individuals with motives that are probably in conflict with your own. And regardless of accuracy (which is low!), that is a very, very bad idea.

RE: https://toot.cafe/users/baldur/statuses/116130499944110898

Because misinformation and inaccuracies in LLM output are often subtle, the advice to use GenAI tools “critically” does not work well for summarization. Slight inaccuracies can be very damaging in academic work, but can usually only be detected by a close reading of the text and/or an expert. However, needing to read the full text closely to verify the AI output defeats the whole purpose of generating a summary.

Gorton and Denton by-election: why every vote will count - BBC News

Last year's parliamentary by-election in Runcorn and Helsby was decided by just six votes with Reform UK gaining their first MP in the North West.

I'm so worried. I can't bear the thought of smug Nigel

on today's installment of parts that terrify me:

I don't actually know much about this LED, but it's certainly a very strong, possibly ultra low wavelength UV led. The incredibly clear cover-glass and the fact that the dies are water-cooled give off an eerie vibe.

I’m actually scared of figuring out the output power and wavelength by hooking it up to a lab supply. Anyone who knows what specs this could have? What part no it could be?

A photo of a complex metal casing with a golden window with a circular array of small dies and bond wires. It rests on a grey mat and looks expensive Photo of the back of the case. It rests on a glass slide and the mat. Two outlets that look like luer lock hint at this device consuming a lot of power, it’s a water cooling circuit A closeup of the array of dies. It’s 21 small dies that each have a small array of four by four squares in them. A bunch of golden bond-wires escape to the side where they connect to a golden ring. The golden ring is isolated from the golden backplate by another white ring

RE: furry.engineer/@soatok/1161320

it is astonishing to me that this (i.e. security under an untrusted server) is novel research to these systems. ever since I started developing vault (2012) my model has been: I want to sync my secrets with dropbox, and I do not trust dropbox either not to look at my data or to preserve its integrity. these are ideas you would get from any basic introduction to cryptography

An app that I can feed in the names and signal link to friends that sometime between 3 and 6 weeks will ding me on the weekend that I should say hello to them - bonus points if it also prompts me with some ice breakers. I'm so bad at remembering to talk to people.

Imagine a protocol like , but for adding real-time collaboration to existing text editors. It would allow to edit a , or peer-to-peer pair programming between and !

We've come up with our own little protocol like that (for Teamtype), but we'd like to open up the discussion:

That's why we're inviting everyone interested to an initial online gathering on Feb 26, 19:00 UTC, to gauge interest for working on a protocol like this together!

A diagram that connects text editors on the left to collaborative applications on the right, using a common, shared protocol, labelled the "Collaborative Editing Protocol".
