That website was made by someone suffering from some cognitive dissonance. They correctly observe that LLMs “can produce convincing-sounding information, but that information may not be accurate or reliable” and then somehow immediately afterwards conclude that “summarize this for me” is the type of thing which LLMs “might” be “good at”.

Why buy a personal computer or word processor?

…they asked in 1987, when word processor didn’t necessarily mean a piece of software

the edit history on Shehbaz Sharif’s tweet shows that it began with “Draft - Pakistan’s PM Message on X” when it was first posted 😭

thanks, i edited the post to link that instead

Why is the pipe required tho?

it isn’t really. what is required for it to consume memory very rapidly is for each invocation of the function to call itself more than once. using the pipe is just one way to do this; it would work just as well if the pipe character were replaced with an &

:(){ :|:& };: is a classic fork bomb for bash (and other shells which allow : as a function name).

running it will likely cause your system to need to be rebooted.

The US military takes enlistees at 17 and a half years old. Usually from poor families.

I believe the US lets people enlist at 17 (with parental consent) but they don’t deploy them to combat before they’re 18.

I encourage you to you watch this movie, btw.

You’re ignoring the fact your article also doesn’t provide source

Which article are you saying doesn’t provide a source? I see only two articles linked in this thread and they both refer to several sources 🤔

I am sincerely baffled as to what your perspective about this story is.

Do you believe that EU and US officials are spreading Russian propaganda via the Associated Press about Russia supply drones to Iran (which, as you said earlier, you believe they do not in fact have the ability to manufacture) and therefore Russia’s denial is actually true but also part of their cunning plan to deceive us?

Or what?

Of course Russia denys it

But… just a few hours ago didn’t you deny it too? 🤔

(“No they aren’t” was your first comment in this thread)

No they aren’t, Russia wouldn’t have purchased thousands of Iranian drones if they could produce them domestically.

Russia put out propaganda

The original link in this post is to an article by the Associated Press (syndicated on a website owned by Bell Canada) and it cites “U.S. and European officials” as its primary source to support the claim made in the headline that Russia is supplying drones to Iran.

I’m curious: did you call this Russian propaganda after reading only the headline, without actually realizing who is saying what here?

Correct me if I’m wrong but I suspect that after you read the article and see that Russia in fact denies sending drones to Iran (and says the seven trucks they just sent have food and medical supplies) you’ll probably change your mind and decide that they probably are in fact sending drones.

I’m a little hesitant to use that link, wasn’t there recently something about a lot of archive websites using visitors for ddos attacks or something similar?

The archive site recently caught doing ddos attacks was archive.today (which also uses the domains .fo, .is, .li, .md, .ph, and .vn). This is a site run by a pseudonymous individual since 2012. Here is the wikipedia article about them.

The link in my comment above is to archive.org, which is a very reputable organization called The Internet Archive which has been operating since 1996 and definitely would not use its visitors’ browsers for ddos attacks. Here is the wikipedia article about them.

Know the difference :)

Also, btw, while the latter is older, larger, and vastly more credible, the former uses different archiving techniques which enable them to have archives of many things which the latter doesn’t. So, it does continue to also be a useful tool, albeit one of last resort.

I’ll compile from source

yfw you find out getting access to a compiler requires an ID check

did an LLM get involved in your dictionary somehow? (why are four of these six definitions very minor rephrasings of each other?)

Fwiw, the American Heritage Dictionary has only one definition; the other two are in wiktionary (which has citations for both).

unfortunately, like its predecessor (Nokia’s Maemo/Meego), Jolla’s SailfishOS has never been (and has never had plans to be) fully free/libre open source software.

many components of it are freely licensed, but not nearly enough to constitute an actual mobile operating system you can use.
