I think it will be, thank you very much.

It looks like @[email protected] isn’t around any more, so I guess it’s unmoderated around here (aside from the LW admins).

Can’t the/a bot post here where everyone’s already subbed? If you give me a bit of time, I could get one written.

I’m not understanding why that’s an appropriate name, but maybe I need to learn more about butterflies.

This is a great example - it kinda makes sense if you skim read it but butterflies have nothing to do with butter, just like hotdogs have nothing to do with dogs.

FiveSixEleven downvotes and counting…

LLMs are already being used for policy making, business decisions, software creation and the like. The issue is bigger than summarisers, and “hallucinations” are a real problem when they lead to real decisions and real consequences.

If you can’t imagine why this is bad, maybe read some Kafka or watch some Black Mirror.

My friends would probably say something like “I’ve never heard that one, but I guess it means something like …”

The problem is, these LLMs don’t give any indication when they’re making stuff up versus when repeating an incontrovertible truth. Lots of people don’t understand the limitations of things like Google’s AI summary* so they will trust these false answers. Harmless here, but often not.

* I’m not counting the little disclaimer because we’ve been taught to ignore smallprint from being faced with so much of it

I found that trying “some-nonsense-phrase meaning” won’t always trigger the idiom interpretation, but you can often change it to something more saying-like.

I also found that trying in incognito mode had better results, so perhaps it’s also affected by your settings. Maybe it’s regional as well, or based on your search result. And, as AI’s non-deterministic, you can’t expect it to always work.

Everyone complained about the nonsensical AI version, so now we have a sane version to share. This is a good thing.

I had “install Linkwarden” on my todo list; Hoarder/Karakeep seems very similar, does anyone have opinions on which is better?

Not your post, either ;) We’re c/selfhosted around these parts.

I think it’s more that using tho instead of though is quite casual, but then you use thusly, which is rather formal. The change of register is surprising/funny.

Like if someone wrote “Indeed, it is most unexpected lol”.

Not that it couldn’t be faked, but here’s the bug report with screenshot: https://forum.cursor.com/t/cursor-told-me-i-should-learn-coding-instead-of-asking-it-to-generate-it-limit-of-800-locs/61132

So they rewrote Nepenthes (or Iocaine, Spigot, Django-llm-poison, Quixotic, Konterfai, Caddy-defender, plus inevitably some Rust versions)

Edit, but with ✨AI✨ and apparently only true facts

Good catch - he’s updated the graphic but this is still wrong.

He’s mixed up the first two diagrams - Pluto should be coloured in for the first and not for the second.

After being virtually dead, it’s had a lot more development over the last few years(?), with steady progress towards passing the tests and supporting the specs (including reporting spec bugs and vagueness). It’s still a long way from being generally usable.

The focus is on making something that could be embeddable, although there are basic browsers using that embed. The focus seems to be on for use-cases like Electron, which doesn’t need all of the web APIs.

I don’t use it or contribute (yet), but I have their blog in my RSS reader and so keep an eye on it.

What names has this process come up with?

I liked that you didn’t bring up the email comparison until fairly late - lots of people reach for it very early in their explanations, but it’s so different to what the Fediverse offers that I think it just confuses people.

I raised my eyebrows clear off my head when you said that the different instances interact “seamlessly”, but you did loop back and give a more nuanced/honest account. Good stuff!
