The half of the story which was available was indeed fascinating.

Dates I'll retain, 1.7 million years and 5000 years. Two different, if associated, marks of civilization.

Two ideas: grounding the LLM between different chats and researching politicians and their friends through mutual associations.

I usually ask it to give me two batches of answer: 1) normal; 2) not sycophantic.

I have a simple and brittle system to track people and facts and associations on Newspapers, which is basically: "LLM extract people, places/projects/structure/places and save them as an Obsidian compatible graph network."

For 2 or 3 newspapers it works; my idea was to use it as grounding to discover relationships between people, companies and jobs.

As for the "everyone's life", I have always assumed that there would be a graph system to point to "forgotten" documents.

Gemini said my idea was amazing and new in its implementation, even if not in spirit, but I'm assuming it was being sycophantic as usual.

You clearly haven't read articles where they said they were pondering all their employees in those bunkers to have explosives in their neck...

If the system treats you as a number, you should become a mercenary.

I love this articles who all the coders read but none of the management.

If possible, be a mercenary and put a high number on your expertise, so we can solve this management blind spot faster.

If you can't, let your life/work's passion be "not starving to death", and try to change it politics-side.

Agents will allow human programmers to get what they've been begging for decades now: proper requirements and flexible, logical, tooling.

Agree. But according to Gemini [for what's worth] the final 1990 Mashmallow's study [since first versions were cautious] did indeed jump to conclusions to point there was a causation to a better later life. The media might have amplified, but the wrong (or misleading) conclusion was already present in the _scientific_ paper.

It really calls into questions the conclusions drawn from the last 50 years. Here's the ones disproven I remember:

* kids grow to be rich because they accept delayed gratification

* alpha males are the leader of the pack and all other males are useless

* people accept violence if there is a higher authority which justifies it with a reason

How many people suffered or delivered suffering because of their beliefs in the above?

NASA operates as a terminal, bloated monopoly that has completely severed its feedback loops with physical reality in favor of preserving a 25-year-old architectural fantasy. The Orion heat shield is essentially a buggy hardware release being pushed into a mission-critical production environment despite the fact that its own internal telemetry is screaming about a catastrophic failure. By choosing to ignore the spalling and the melted structural bolts, the agency is deliberately discarding the engineering equivalent of core dump data to maintain a schedule that satisfies political optics rather than Newtonian physics.

I like Cryptomator's solution: donate to get a pretty banner.

Also, it didn't work -- Mountain Duck is closed source.

Personally I donate €50 every now and then when the average of the donation goes below a certain value (varies by project) but it requires tracking in a Spreadsheet.

Ya but in this case, it _is_ AI. It was just an experiment though -- most market absolutists talk like this.

You are right. However I've found most market absolutists write similar to this. The fault is always someone else's. I had thought I had gotten the contents humanly sociopathic enough to go below the LLM radar.

I actually intended to leave a comment explaining but I started to lose points and deleted the explanation; I was however unable to delete the main comment.

Is it? My IT forces a reboot every weekend.

Windows has some apparel to hot-patch functions. A regular reboot is recommended just for higienic purposes but should be possible to reduce them.

Actually it's the wrong question. Implement rebootless updates is the right ask. You'll have to reboot like once a month still but it's better than how it is now.

I get really annoyed at those articles which advocate the developer to sacrifice themselves towards a better future.

Companies externalize costs. I refuse to be the one, as an individual, with the burden of fixing society ills to my own detriment.

Tell me to get into politics, join an association, whatever. Now, as an individual, lose money for morals? No thank you. I may, and probably will, do it -- but don't expect I do it. I have no business, in a society with less and less public services, to harm myself and my family for refusing to do well paying jobs.

I will externalise those costs as much as possible. I will bring awareness. I will write letters. But don't ask me to leave a well paying job -- that's someone else job to fix.

Do you have privatized healthcare in your country?

That has probably more to do with you bank account digits.

I'm on the inverse moral ladder currently, specially as more and more services are privatized (public health here is on fast-track to be americanized).

I'd posit the faster we feed LLM exhisting nuclear crisis and invented, dissimilar to its training corpus, nuclear scenarios, the better we will know how wrong they can be. Fear-mongering isn't lucrative, isn't dopamine triggering, isn't actionable, doesn't look good on the resume, so it's tipically ignored.

No-one got fired for ~buying IBM~ following a statistical-based text output.

I do hope however having a Snapdragon device will be beneficial to having postmarketOS support.

For now having Android-type OS on a daily driver is a must, but for older devices (thinking of 10 years time) I'd like to explore an OS which doesn't depend of Google open-source drops and delayed security open-source drops, which is the situation for ROMs without an ODM partner.

Ya, I believe that's the correct answer. I believe there is an IOMMU or equivalent on modern phones to prevent those doubts binary blobs bring.

Some people said it's using libhybris. I thought this one was vanilla Linux. Any pointers either way?

I always buy 2-in-1. I run both Gnome and Android [Waydroid] when in tablet mode.

What does this mean? That Arc series is not being discontinued after all?

I liked it.

Similar to Peripheral TV series' Jackpot?

You probably also know of Netbird -- open-source zero-trust VPN.

Personally, I shall some day find the patience to code and test a poor man's zero-trust -- app/site knocking + firewall whitelist.

Big Tech to grow required deceiving its workers into thinking they all worked together towards a new future.

Thankfully, that veil has come down, showing it is business as usual.

It definitely needs improvement but for touchscreens it is good.
