LLMs are bad for the uses they’ve been recently pushed for, yes. But this is legitimately a very good use of them. This is natural language processing, within a narrow scope with a specific intention. This is exactly what it can be good at. Even if does have a high false negative rate, that’s still thousands and thousands of true positive cases that were addressed quickly and cheaply, and that a human auditor no longer needs to touch.
“You should willing expose yourself to danger to protect the profits and business models of corporations who are attempting to monetize your attention and personal information.”
I really don’t think I’d lose any sleep if suddenly YouTube, Facebook, etc, became unsustainable. I remember what the Internet was like before every dumbass MBA decided to try to wring as much money as possible out of it, and I preferred it that way.
Ad block is the number one thing you can do on the Internet to reduce your risk to exploits, phishing, etc. The US government recommends the use of ad block specifically for this reason. Usage of ad block is basic internet security hygiene.
If only there were other things that a person could do outside of voting once every four years to participate in the political process.
Hey, look at that. It’s the inevitable consequence of the game theory of first past the post voting. Voting system reform is my #1 issue, and if you actually care about the fact that “99% of voters” are locked into voting for someone they dislike to avert disaster every 4 years, it should be yours as well.
There is no meaningful future for third parties until and unless this occurs. IRV is a good first step, but Score voting is better. Multimember districts are also important. Getting rid of the electoral college is a no-brainer.
A problem that only affects newbies huh?
Let’s say that you are writing code intended to be deployed headless in the field, and it should not be allowed to exit in an uncontrolled fashion because there are communications that need to happen with hardware to safely shut them down. You’re making a autonomous robot or something.
Using python for this task isn’t too out of left field, because one of the major languages of ROS is python, and it’s the most common one.
Which of the following python standard library functions can throw, and what do they throw?
bytes, hasattr, len, super, zip

If you are taking requests, I am curious how ridiculous The Longest Journey would be.
No one tell OP that the ml in lemmy.ml is for Marxist Leninists.
Too bad you’ll never receive that option from any manufacturer.
The scam is that they are actually doing the work, getting paid well
Listen. I know that there are some really shitty stuff going on in North Korea, and very real threats that their government is capable of, and it sucks for the people living there who have to do this work under threat of death.
But if you say that “the scam” is they’re doing work and receiving full pay for work done, I’m going to make fun of you. Oh no, someone outside of the West did work and was slightly less exploited by capital than usual in the process. Horror upon horror.
Most recently, other than Trump, George HW Bush lost the election while incumbent. Prior to that it was Jimmy Carter.
The next most recent person to win the election but lose the popular vote was George W Bush, prior to that is was Harrison back in 1888.
Please don’t tell me you, unironically, actually use the Carmack rsqrt function in the year of our Linux Desktop 2024.
Also if you like, you can write unsafe Rust in safe Rust instead.

6 million cars, the fine is $140 million. That’s $24 or so per car. There’s no way that GM saved only $24/car doing this. So the fine is just a cost of doing business.
EDIT:
The company has also voluntarily retired about 50 million tons of carbon dioxide pollution credits, which are issued by the E.P.A. and used by auto companies to make it easier to comply with increasingly stringent federal tailpipe emissions standards. G.M. estimates the value of the loss of the credits at about $300 million, reflecting what it paid for them a decade or so ago. However, the market value of those carbon credits varies, and a more recent government estimate of $86 per credit would put the value at about $4.6 billion.
This is probably where the actual sting to them is.

(please attend to primaries next time…)
So… should I have voted for Marianne Williamson or Dean Phillips, keeping in mind Dean Phillips formally withdrew from the race before my state’s primary, and Marianne Williamson couldn’t have won if she had sweeped every state after and including mine?
I think the problem is mostly that the US system of elections is turbo mega fucked.
Which is why the slang for diamonds is “ice.” They feel quite cold when you touch them because they have such high thermal conductivity.
