LLMs are bad for the uses they’ve been recently pushed for, yes. But this is legitimately a very good use of them. This is natural language processing, within a narrow scope with a specific intention. This is exactly what it can be good at. Even if does have a high false negative rate, that’s still thousands and thousands of true positive cases that were addressed quickly and cheaply, and that a human auditor no longer needs to touch.
“You should willing expose yourself to danger to protect the profits and business models of corporations who are attempting to monetize your attention and personal information.”
I really don’t think I’d lose any sleep if suddenly YouTube, Facebook, etc, became unsustainable. I remember what the Internet was like before every dumbass MBA decided to try to wring as much money as possible out of it, and I preferred it that way.
Ad block is the number one thing you can do on the Internet to reduce your risk to exploits, phishing, etc. The US government recommends the use of ad block specifically for this reason. Usage of ad block is basic internet security hygiene.
An environmental posadist. Not a stance I’ve normally seen. Imo, if nothing came out of deep water horizon, there’s no oil accident big enough to matter.
Transocean received an early partial insurance settlement for total loss of the Deepwater Horizon of US$401 million about 5 May 2010.[60] Financial analysts noted that the insurance recovery was likely to be more than the value of the rig (although not necessarily its replacement value) and any liabilities – the latter estimated at as much as US$200 million.
If only there were other things that a person could do outside of voting once every four years to participate in the political process.
Hey, look at that. It’s the inevitable consequence of the game theory of first past the post voting. Voting system reform is my #1 issue, and if you actually care about the fact that “99% of voters” are locked into voting for someone they dislike to avert disaster every 4 years, it should be yours as well.
There is no meaningful future for third parties until and unless this occurs. IRV is a good first step, but Score voting is better. Multimember districts are also important. Getting rid of the electoral college is a no-brainer.
A problem that only affects newbies huh?
Let’s say that you are writing code intended to be deployed headless in the field, and it should not be allowed to exit in an uncontrolled fashion because there are communications that need to happen with hardware to safely shut them down. You’re making a autonomous robot or something.
Using python for this task isn’t too out of left field, because one of the major languages of ROS is python, and it’s the most common one.
Which of the following python standard library functions can throw, and what do they throw?
bytes, hasattr, len, super, zip

Seems to be free access, for now
If you are taking requests, I am curious how ridiculous The Longest Journey would be.
I would be impressed if they risk it. Literally half of Mongolia’s population resides in their capital city Ulaanbaatar. If a country bordering Russia were to arrest the sitting Russian president and turn him over to Copenhagen then there’s a non-zero possibility of a retaliatory airstrike on the capital, destroying their only major city and killing a significant percentage of the entire country’s population.
Good effort. But I don’t know if it will be particularly effective considering Project 2025 has playbook stuff specifically about doing end runs around staffers.
The article is stupid as hell though.
No one tell OP that the ml in lemmy.ml is for Marxist Leninists.
Too bad you’ll never receive that option from any manufacturer.
The scam is that they are actually doing the work, getting paid well
Listen. I know that there are some really shitty stuff going on in North Korea, and very real threats that their government is capable of, and it sucks for the people living there who have to do this work under threat of death.
But if you say that “the scam” is they’re doing work and receiving full pay for work done, I’m going to make fun of you. Oh no, someone outside of the West did work and was slightly less exploited by capital than usual in the process. Horror upon horror.
Most recently, other than Trump, George HW Bush lost the election while incumbent. Prior to that it was Jimmy Carter.
The next most recent person to win the election but lose the popular vote was George W Bush, prior to that is was Harrison back in 1888.
Please don’t tell me you, unironically, actually use the Carmack rsqrt function in the year of our Linux Desktop 2024.
Also if you like, you can write unsafe Rust in safe Rust instead.
std::mem::transmute
It wouldn’t solve the world’s problems. It would simply make China the preeminent superpower, and cause a horrific environmental (and humanitarian) disaster.
