@ocdtrekkie @deliaturner @WarnerCrocker But did the monster write the poem?

So here's something I'm curious about. I'm not deep in this LLM space so there may be a ready answer to this.

If you want to protect against "dangerous" information being regurgitated by your LLM, and all of the UI guardrails keep getting jailbroken, why don't you just put those same guardrails at the training step so the information isn't there in the first place? Nobody will be there to jailbreak it at that step.

@EricFielding @enzet There are lots of tags to use for such things. Official names in different countries, names in different languages, etc. Looking at the conversation linked from one of the change sets, it seems like they may be going in that direction.

@enzet (also why isn't it a relation?)

@enzet When is it renamed then? For better or for worse, in *some* official capacity that is the name.

Man we did not appreciate how good some of this old video game music was. Sometimes you need to hear it played with real instruments.

me: The web relies far too much on javascript. I have javascript turned off by default, and shall enable it sparingly!

website: I rely on javascript so much that I will not even display without it.

me: Oh, by all means then.

I upgraded #QubesOS a few weeks ago, reinstalling from scratch. I think there are significant performance improvements on my Librem laptop. I've been hesitant to say this because I thought it might be related to it being a newly refreshed system, or switching to uBlockOrigin. But even with browsers not running, in my previous installation I could hear what sounded like constant light hard drive activity. Not to mention a lot of fan activity, though again uBlockOrigin might account for that.

FedEx has something called Print And Go. You email a document, and you get back a 7ish digit code. You take that code to any participating FedEx and print it at a kiosk.

I didn't sign up for an account. I didn't block 20 3rd party javascript sources that broke the page. I didn't use an upload form (well, my web email I suppose). No ads, no popups. Indeed, no website at all.

I'm sure it's just an anomaly that such a thing exists, but wow what we could have if we somehow cut out all the crap.

@luckytran It should start with early 2020 when masks didn't work.

🤔

@owncast Curious if you plan to have an API and/or application in FDroid? I don't have a Twitch or Kick account or app, but I bet it would be a cool UX as a viewer to be able to have an account, follow streamers (or just bookmark them locally without an account), and pull out your phone to see "who's on".
