TIL apt isn’t literally the same thing as apt-get

They mentioned Microsoft updating privacy agreements at the same time as other companies, and OP mentioned that the context was a discussion of a Windows ultra-keylogger type of feature, the implication is they’re in on this shit too, and Linux is a way to not use Windows.

So are they loading every exam in its entirety into the same context window and doing the whole thing with a single prompt? Or letting the LLM take arbitrary actions instead of only returning a value? It seems like they would have had to make some pretty bad decisions for this to be possible, beyond maybe just adjusting the one grade. I wonder what the prompt jailbreak equivalents of sql injection would actually look like

Well, this is what the relevant part of the video says:

USAGM disbursed $7.5M to these entities, in “what seemed to be an effort to delay the hearing or woo the judge”. Regardless, the latter has sided against USAGM, and just a few days ago, the agency has decided to back off and release the funds for the 2025 fiscal year.

So I guess funds were cut, but then the courts ruled the president doesn’t have authority to do this himself since the funds were allocated by congress, and so as of now they have been restored, although congress needs to approve them every year and there’s concern they might not do so for next year.

That’s a great way to do it, but human attention on your code is a scarce and valuable resource. LLMs are great for the sort of lazy stupid questions where you benefit from a quick answer, but also don’t want to waste someone else’s time on. When you are learning nearly all the questions you’ll have will be like this, your progress is gated on finding the answers, and even if you are taking a class and it’s someone’s job to look at your code and help you understand what’s wrong with it, you have to wait your turn for that and only get so much help.

tbf the text in error messages very often leads down a rabbit hole of barely relevant context, rather than to the shortest path to getting things to work as you expect them to. Or maybe they just don’t understand what the word “deprecated” means or implies.

There was actually one published a few days ago that concluded that it can be effective:

Participants with depression experienced a 51% reduction in symptoms, the best result in the study. Those with anxiety experienced a 31% reduction, and those at risk for eating disorders saw a 19% reduction in concerns about body image and weight.

However the person who did the study shares your concerns:

I asked Heinz if he thinks the results validate the burgeoning industry of AI therapy sites. “Quite the opposite,” he says, cautioning that most don’t appear to train their models on evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy, and they likely don’t employ a team of trained researchers to monitor interactions. “I have a lot of concerns about the industry and how fast we’re moving without really kind of evaluating this,” he adds.

Also they did another article about difficulties and pitfalls of making these things

To me the disadvantage would be, the library likely does many more things than just what you need it for, so there is way more code, so you probably can’t realistically read and understand it yourself before incorporating it. This would lead to among other issues the main thing that irritates me about libraries; if it turns out something in it is broken, you are stuck with a much bigger debugging problem where you first have to figure out how someone else’s code is structured.

Although I guess that doesn’t apply as much to implementations of common algorithms like OP since the library is probably solid. I would consider favoring LLM code over most anything off npm though.

Having fewer/no dependencies is nice though

Compatibility problems caused by third parties only targeting Windows are still Linux issues for the end user if they become a problem when they use Linux. It isn’t fair but that is the practical reality.

I think they would still try to go for it but yeah that option sounds good to me tbh

I don’t think it’s actually such a bad argument because to reject it you basically have to say that style should fall under copyright protections, at least conditionally, which is absurd and has obvious dystopian implications. This isn’t what copyright was meant for. People want AI banned or inhibited for separate reasons and hope the copyright argument is a path to that, but even if successful wouldn’t actually change much except to make the other large corporations that own most copyright stakeholders of AI systems. That’s not really a better circumstance.

For me I get prompted with a captcha on redeeming a free game, almost every time

How would it get past the captcha? EGS always has a complicated captcha

I use a script I wrote that plays music from Bandcamp with probabilities based on liking/disliking songs and the albums Bandcamp recommends in association with the rated song. Wary about sharing it anywhere though as it’s definitely against the tos.

Thanks for the info, I’m on linux mint and after checking these out it isn’t immediately apparent from their websites whether or how I could install them. Still think etcher occupies a niche that alternatives don’t fill, its website directs you straight to installing it, it’s cross platform, and using it is very easy, so it’s something that could reasonably be linked to in various install tutorials.

Rufus seems to be just for Windows and dd does not have a gui
