He used it as toilet paper years ago. With the blessing of SCROTUS.

Which version of Linux did you install? It supports a lot of them, and most have updaters that are easily configured from the task bar, just like Windows.

Thanks to this crap, the world is being flooded with awful, unmaintainable code, and the thing is, the LLMs that build it promptly forget everything about it as soon as you move on to the next task. Fixing this garbage will be an unending nightmare.

I interview juniors regularly. I can't wait until the first time I interview a "vibe coder" who thinks they're a developer, but can't even tell me what a race condition is or the difference between synchronous and asynchronous execution.

That's going to be a red letter day, lemme tell ya.

The human brain has had no time at all to evolve resistance against manipulation by large language models that "talk" convincingly like a deeply effusive person. That means there are some people who are legitimately endangered by them.

This shit's going to get worse before it gets better. If it gets better.

Is that a win for Google, though? They make most of their money from AdSense, because websites want to display ads. If people aren't clicking through to websites from their search results, that seems like fewer opportunities to display ads, reducing the viability of AdSense.

I like the idea, but unfortunately it would be treated as an excuse to start another war (by the "peace" president).

A better option is to gently, but firmly, insist that he affirm the sovereignty and autonomy of Denmark and Greenland. And if he won't do that, then simply escort him back onto the plane and send him home.

The barely-disguised vitriol in this article is disgusting. Hope "vanished?" Fuck off, CNN. Mamdani represents hope.

And they're right about all of that except the AI equals LLMs thing, but that's forgivable because the LLM hustlers have managed to make the terms synonymous in most people's minds through a massive marketing effort.

Ask her to read the links from her ChatGPT queries with you. Do it together. Show her how ChatGPT is confidently and convincingly lying to her. And each time she comes back with another result from a biased prompt, do it again. Eventually she'll at least stop trying to convince you that ChatGPT knows all, out of embarrassment.

 

Hi there,

I'm the mod for !nottheonion, and I'd like to unban someone. Unfortunately, the user I want to unban doesn't have any content in the community anymore, and I can't find a way to do it.

Help?

 

Look, I get it. The gargantuan shit-show that is U.S. politics and the American descent into fascism is on everyone's minds. It's certainly on mine.

But the point of this community is to highlight weird news stories that make you go, "By golly, I thought I was reading a headline from The Onion. You know, America's finest news source." A lot of stories being posted lately don't even remotely fit that.

That doesn't mean political stories aren't allowed here, but they must have headlines that would make people pause and wonder if it's a story from The Onion. Straight up regular, non Onion-y headlines don't fit.

 

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

For the record, Trump is 78 years old. Assuming he survives and manages to stay in office, he would be 86 when we're finally rid of him.

 

I can't find any content from this user from which to access the famous three-dots menu to unban them, and the post that resulted in their ban is already long gone, so I can't do it from there.

Could an administrator please unban the user?

 

The end of an era in Eugene. :'(

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial.

The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith’s team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office.

That's gonna be some serious reading over the weekend.

Just spotted that we made this list on Forbes last week. We're famous!

 

I hate the fact that it's almost fall now, and we're seeing temperatures around 100 degrees fahrenheit and smoke from first fires. In September.

 

The Biden administration on Wednesday plans to accuse Russia of a sustained effort to influence the 2024 US elections by using Kremlin-run media and other online platforms to target US voters with disinformation, six sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

It’s expected the US will make a series of moves on Wednesday aimed at addressing the Kremlin’s efforts including the White House publicly condemning the actions and the Justice Department announcing law enforcement action targeting the covert Russian campaign, the sources said.

 

Just a heads up, there's a severe thunderstorm alert right now:
