It isn’t just the dash, it’s the contrast. To max out the slop score of the sentence, you should always cram in a three item list, no matter how little sense, utility or value it holds.
And so do some humans. I guess this kinda stretches the definition of food….
I would love to have more of these kinds of conversations, but judging by the downvotes, most Lemmy users disagree.
Anyway, LLMs have changed many things, but source criticism still hasn’t gone anywhere. People use them as if they’re truth engines, ignoring how often they hallucinate. If you’re not qualified to verify the factuality of the answer, the LLM will fool you disturbingly often.
Programming and other technical matters are a bit different though. You don’t have to be an expert of any kind to verify the answer. If the command doesn’t run, the library doesn’t exist or the compiler spits out errors, you’ve just got plenty of verification. The LLM hallucinated some nonsense, and was caught before any real damage could happen.
In other matters, verifying the answer would take time, effort and expertise. Avoiding all of that is kinda the whole point why people outsource their thinking to an LLM. People make these kinds of decisions, because it's just so convenient. As you're avoiding modern internet cancer by letting the crawlers take the hit on your behalf, you're doing so out of convenience. Can't really blame you though. Large parts of the internet is a bout to reach terminal stages.
As you're using Duck.ai the privacy side of it is probably as good as its going to get. However, it still has broader ripple effects. Duck.ai is using GPT, which means that OpenAI is getting a signal to keep on developing GPT, violating your privacy elsewhere, and spewing out CO2. The use of LLMs isn't limited to just privacy matters, since it involves several ethical questions as well.
Side note: AI is a very broad topic, and it covers good and bad stuff. LLMs are a far more specific topic, and it involves some unique downsides absent in most AI applications.
Every kilowatt of stranded power is a GPU that Nvidia could have sold, so Nvidia’s DSX platform aims to address both problems.
Data centres aren’t buying more GPUs because the grid can’t handle the load. By producing more energy-efficient chips, the data centre can buy more while still sucking the same amount of power. It’s all about money, really.
As long as you’re relying on a massive platform to kindly allow you to do your thing, it’s going to be an endless game of cat and mouse. Any solution you can come up with is destined to break soon. Once you step outside that setting, you’ll get a lot more privacy, but you’ll have to sacrifice the video selection.
Think of it like trying to use chrome in s privacy respecting way. It’s a fools errand, since the whole point of chrome is to suck all of your data and relay it to Google. Switching to Firefox would solve those problems very easily.
Enjoy it while it lasts. I have a feeling that YT is going to take the FB approach of slamming a login wall to your face at some point.
Recently, I’ve been experimenting with alternate video sites such as Odysee, PeerTube, and Nebula. I think I might manage without YT. There’s plenty enough to watch elsewhere. Haven’t made the switch yet, but I feel well prepared.
Best time was 15 years ago, second best time is now.
When that happens, it’s going to be a great day to de-google permanently.
I was just thinking about using a picture or a video found online. Nice to know it works.
We value your privacy so much that we got rid of the disagree button and found some extra partners who also value your privacy a lot. Like, you have no idea how much they’re paying us. It’s just crazy… Ahem, so that’s why we really value your privacy.
Our idea of "warm" colors is just a historical accident. Wood burns orange because it produces soot, which glows orange in the flame. Same applies to candles too, because there’s never enough oxygen to burn all the carbon.
If we’d started with purified hydrocarbons instead, blue might have been the ultimate "warm" color. Natural gas burns with a blue or even invisible flame, a sign of complete combustion. Orange, then, would be the color of flawed, struggling fire.
Imagine a house heated and lit by a gas furnace instead of a traditional fireplace. The light from the fire would be blue, and we’d associate that glow with warmth and coziness. Picture old paintings with a cozy atmosphere, their hearths glowing blue. If everyone grew up like that, blue would be the warmest color instead of orange.
"Different flame types of a Bunsen burner depend on oxygen supply. On the left a rich fuel with no premixed oxygen produces a yellow sooty diffusion flame; on the right a lean fully oxygen premixed flame produces no soot and the flame color is produced by molecular radicals, especially CH and C2 band emission."

I suddenly realized that JC Jenson is a parody on SC Johnson. Probably widely known already, but I thought I should share anyway.
Being a walking piece of toxic waste is a human trait. No need to blame a specific religion or a group. Blame all of them equally, since they are all humans and they all inherited the same flaw.
