This is probably because of a lack of training data, where it is referencing only one example and that example just had a mistake in it.

The one example could be flawless, but the output of an LLM is influenced by all of its input. 99.999% of that input is irrelevant to your situation, so of course it’s going to degenerate the output.

What you (and everyone else) needs is a good search engine to find the needle in the haystack of human knowledge, you don’t need that haystack ground down to dust to give you a needle-shaped piece of crap with slightly more iron than average.

After almost 2 years, Roshan’s pit is back where it belongs. I think the pit switch is a good solution to the Pit Problem, but sticking those pits all the way in the corners made it really difficult to contest a Roshan attempt. You needed to commit pretty hard just to get there and then the terrain was pretty difficult to get a good Blink angle on too. Now we have it back in the middle of the map and it will be fun to see the dynamic plays around there. And I hope to see Roshan barreling through a team fight in the mid lane during TI 2025.

There’s something weird about the naming scheme here.

1. Article about X₀ (Air Bud)
2. List of articles about X₁ (Dogs playing basketball)
3. Lists of articles about X₂ (Dogs playing sports)
4. List of lists of lists

Level 3 should have been “List of lists of articles”. And if 4 had been fully specified as “List of lists of lists of articles about X₃”, it wouldn’t contain itself.

So when I download only some files from a torrent, it’s likely that I can’t seed all of those files to the next person? I have done partial leeches before and left them seeding under the impression that I could at least seed exactly those files if anyone else wanted them. If that’s impossible (or at least unlikely to work because of chunking), then I might download the whole thing next time (or just leave the swarm).

It might help your comment if you replaced some theys and thems with the actual people you’re referring to. It’s very unclear whether you’re talking about Hamas, the Israel government, the Palestine people living in the Gaza strip, the Israeli people, etc. There’s a lot of different groups involved in this conflict, all with their own history and motives. It’s important to be clear about who is doing what.

The real “scorched earth” strategy:

1. Format system drive
2. Reinstall Arch
3. Keep all your files on the data drive
4. Run your personal setup script to put everything back how you like it
5. (Optional) Be happy

Edit: forgor 6. Tell everyone you use Arch

I think instead of having fewer representatives in government, we should make government smaller by having physically smaller representatives. Like children, or gnomes.

They all share a belief in a “natural hierarchy”. Whether that hierarchy emerges from God, the Market, or Pure Ancestors, they’re very similar arguments and they all lead to similar results: An imbalance of power and a group of people (with power) who justify that imbalance with the imbalance itself (I’m better because I have power. I should have power because I’m better.)

No no, he was just a little confused, but he meant alethiometer. It’s like a compass but it points to the truth, which is pretty darn useful when trying to find your moral heading.

I need this version, I was just rewatching and my version just translates it as “Shocker”. It did go for “you’re not only a lolicon, you’re also an M (TL note: M is common Japanese slang for masochist)”.

Fuck, these files have been on my disk for 10 years. Is it too late to replace them now? Won’t they feel bad about being abandoned after living most of their lives on my computer?

For me this was The Phantom Tollbooth, but that’s a 70s film, so muc older. Actually, the year I watched it on midday television after school was closer to 1970 than to the present.

“The only way out is through” is only true when:

1. The chosen path leads to some desired result
2. There is no other path that leads to the same result
3. There is no other path that leads to a result of similar value
4. Staying without result is not an option

People are very bad at keeping an open mind once they’ve chosen a solution. They tend to stick with it as long as they think they’re still on track. They don’t stop to see what their actual choices are and if they can switch approaches halfway. You don’t have to “tough it out”, even when you’re already knee deep in shit and you’d have to wade back a mile to try a different path.

There are useful group names, but they differentiate between some general types of animals, or by their collective movement. A pack of wolves acts very different from a herd of zebras, but much the same as a pack of hyenas. So if you’re looking at a group of dog-like hunters from a large distance, you could call it a pack without knowing whether they’re wolves or hyenas. That makes it a word with a proper function, communicating exactly as much information as you need and no more.

Species-specific is just a meme, no one in their right mind would ever use them in real conversation, because “a parliament of chimps” would technically be redundant if “parliament” already meant “group of chimps”. But it doesn’t, obviously, so you’re forced to specify “chimps” anyway, making “parliament” useless and confusing.

But only at a rate of 46.3 million tonnes per year.

Yeah, that’s not even rare! I’ve cooked my chicken medium-rare by accident, it was edible, kinda nice actually. I think medium-well is the sweet spot for chicken, but I could see someone going for a medium even. I wouldn’t really recommend medium-rare to anyone, pretty sure I dodged a bullet that time.

Telling people your age in response to a boomer joke is such a xoomer thing to do

I read it as the reverse initially. Thought it was a classic Lemmy take for what looked like a newspaper article. Why- who- how could someone know about the culture war and the class war and draw this conclusion? (Ed: she doesn’t know about the class war, see below)

Or maybe it’s a bait title and the body makes a completely different point, that’s probably the reason I’m looking at a picture of the title right now and not reading the whole article.

Edit: the article

Edit 2: It’s actually a kinda muddled argument she’s making. She’s using “class war” not in the sense a marxist might use, but to describe something a populist party would do, which is turning public anger towards a specific demographic to justify their political actions. She doesn’t want Labour to alienate the richer parts of its voter base by “bashing the most wealthy” or “punishing the rich”. But she doesn’t show that Labour would actually message it like that, just that they have plans that would tax wealthier people more, which seems perfectly Labour-like and not something they would need special messaging to justify. So if Labour wants to pivot away from a culture war and towards actual left-wing policy, that’s not “starting a class war”.
