I wonder what'd happen if you made a terminal that's entirely an interface to some LLM, and everything you type in is interpreted by the LLM and translated into bash or python before it's run without any confirmation

user: hey could you rename these directories so they're all named consecutively
LLM: sure *renames all folders to a single name*
user: nono wait you just merged all of those directories can you undo that
LLM: sure *rm -rf's the folder, makes beautiful empty new directories*
user: you just deleted everything
LLM: oh god I'm so sorry *makes new empty files in the empty directories*
user: you just made empty files
LLM: oh god I'm so sorry *cats /dev/random into the files*
user: ig bash isn't so bad

I find it extremely funny that, no matter what type of chatbot I try to build (markov, transformer, other RNN types), when I train it on my own posts, it ALWAYS ends up generating extremely long run-on sentences.

*reads the above* .. GEE I WONDER WHY :drgn_think_woozy:

@volpeon imagining a bigass wyvern making fox noises never gets old :dragon_melt:

:gnome_woozy: hey guys
:neocat_forwards_point: FOOT FETISH
:gnome_woozy: NOT WHAT IM CALLED

@skinnylatte yea big mood there, I definitely miss the stuff I had in the city area too. And SE Asian streetfoods always seemed amazing, never actually been there to try them myself, but I've seen plenty videos of it and it always looked really good.

Maybe you could get it on a holiday or something.. I can imagine the favorites are the complex ones to replicate though, I definitely had similar issues at the beginning when I was still looking for some easy but tasty recipes to keep returning to.

@skinnylatte I can imagine that can feel confronting. I personally left the city about 4 years ago and I can kinda relate there.

Do you like cooking yourself? I personally found a lot of joy in finding out how simple some of my favorite dishes were to make once I got the hang of it.

Noodles and asian (wok/hotpot/etc) dishes are kinda nice in that sense because they're extremely flexible and you can buy exactly the ingredients that you like, you should try searching for some recipes online!

@skinnylatte so I feel like I'm weirdly between opinions there.

I absolutely love cooking myself and tasting other people's creations and that of good restaurants and such, both the mundane but good local dishes or exotic things of all kinds.

..but I can also relate to some days where I don't even really feel like eating at all and I just need some mealreplacement shake thing or whatever to sustain myself, or when I'm busy, or when I'm out hiking, etc. Though that's been a lot less recently ig

@selzero 'they dont even pay us for our graciously provided salmonellas! so ungrateful'

@selzero what, don't you enjoy getting a free salmonella sample? it's free! you don't even have to pay for it! free as in freedom! freedom to get salmonella! for free! murrica!!1

I hope it doesn't need saying but:

Do NOT use USB splitters if one of the devices supports quickcharge or USB-PD.

If you use a splitter to e.g charge a phone while also connecting a DAC or speaker or whatever, the phone might negotiate 9, 12 or even 20V from the USB port the splitter is plugged into, which will cause everything else on that same splitter that only supports 5v to get fried.

I've seen some reports of people accidentally running into this.. So please be careful with splitters.

@yassie_j it's a switch why would you want a screen on a switch, i can see what position it is in, i don't need a screen on my lightswitch to see if it's on :woozy_melting:

@mattly it's based on the same concepts as (trackerless) Torrents. AFAIK it uses a DHT (Distributed Hash Table) to find and connect to other nodes you own, and uses this for "UDP hole punching", which allows it to communicate with other nodes you own after the connection has been set up. This works by having every node participate in this DHT, just like with Torrent clients. I guess in addition they might also have relays.

I get it feels weird though, I also prefer just self hosting things.

I was searching for yagi antennas to show someone what they are and I found this absolutely cursed human moth

@volpeon [this pic but waah instead of eeeee]

@billiam @sun idk if I'd really consider it the meme version.

You always have to define intolerance, and while some are more fierce with this than others, what I really wanted to say is that nobody has to tolerate you not tolerating someone else.

It doesn't always have to be physical violence for it to be a fair point. I do however think that the response should be proportional; By all means, meet violence with violence, but if someone doesn't like your existence, you don't have to like theirs

@billiam @sun yea I mean, I know Popper's description of it, and I think it's fair because we shouldn't look for conflict even if people are messing with the definition of intolerance-- but I personally think that it can be extended in a peaceful and compatible way to say that, if someone is merely less physically intolerant e.g verbally or by some actions or other, that it's still entirely fair to do the same back, in a proportional way. That's still not the same as looking for conflict AFAICT.

@sun that's fair, though I think that's in general an important aspect of tolerance; it's a balance of sorts, you have to clearly outline what is considered intolerance, it doesn't just mean everyone you disagree with is to be considered intolerant.

@sun not sure, I mean, IMHO there's a difference between tolerance and being allowed into someone's private club.

You don't have to let everyone into every aspect of your personal life, that's not the same as tolerance, which is simply respecting each other and their own existence
If anything, I'd say tolerance allows for having your own spaces too, whether they're minority or otherwise; people should tolerate this without demanding everything to be broken down.
