Not to mention, OP didn’t specify where they live. Who knows defamation law for the whole world?

Human Centipede is a tour-de-force
It’s also about making sure you can’t sue them, even if they did something wrong, even if they did it on purpose, even if they knew it was wrong when they did it.
Instead you must agree to “binding arbitration”, so that if you lose they get to learn what strategy works against customers, and if you win they get to learn what strategy doesn’t work against customers (but in any case the details cannot be shared with other customers).
Also, you can never participate in a class action suit, so even if they did do something wrong, on purpose, and you convinced a -judge- arbiter, you just get the $12 judgment, or whatever the value is of your actual damages. The corporation can keep the $12 they stole from each of their millions of other customers, who didn’t also start arbitration.
It is shocking that it is even legal
The -p option can be used to specify the port number to connect to when using the ssh command on Linux. The -P (note: capital P) option can be used with SFTP and scp.
Why is it that the switch on ssh is -p but in scp/sftp it is -P?
This has caused me a real headache in the past as ssh doesn’t throw an error message when you use a switch like “ssh -P 8080”
I imagine there’s code to do something like currency conversion or maybe rewards points calculation so the displayed amount is not actually the number used for the final total
I misunderstood what “war machine” meant.
I heard phrases on TV like “it cost $1 billion dollars per month to keep the war machine running” and “the US captured 100,000 barrels of oil per day to feed the war machine” and I thought this thing must be some epic beast.
The terrorists better watch out! We’re sending the war machine! It must have, like, sawblade hands and tank tracks and breathe fire and have machine gun turrets.
Imagine my disappointment when I learned that THE WAR MACHINE was just a metaphor and not a Mecha Godzilla
I think I understand how it works.
Remember that LLMs are glorified auto-complete. They just spit out the most likely word that follows the previous words (literally just like how your phone keyboard suggestions work, just with a lot more computation).
They have a limit to how far back they can remember. For ChatGPT 3.5 I believe it’s 24,000 tokens.
So it tries to follow instruction and spits out “poem poem poem” until all the data is just the word “poem”, then it doesn’t have enough memory to remember its instructions.
“Poem poem poem” is useless data so it doesn’t have anything to go off of, so it just outputs words that go together.
LLMs don’t record data in the same way a computer file is stored, but absent other information may “remember” that the most likely word to follow the previous word is something that it has seen before, i.e. its training data. It is somewhat surprising that it is not just junk. It seems to be real text (such as bible verses).
If I am correct then I’m surprised OpenAI didn’t fix if. I would think they could make it so in the event the LLM is running out of memory it would keep the input and simply abort operation, or at least drop the beginning of its output.
Is this post a paradox?
TIL about error 418:
“I’m a teapot This server is a teapot, and it cannot brew coffee.”
Apparently it was originally added as an April fools joke way back in 1998 but technically it is a valid error message that sites can actually use!

How could you not include the classic printer lp0 on fire!
I actually got that one around 2010 on Ubuntu. The printer wasn’t actually on fire. If I recall it was caused by the network attached printer losing connection during a job
Huh, I can hear this meme
Suppose you were saying that about me. How would I prove you wrong? How could a thinking being express that it is actually sentient to meet your standards?
Also, I have never, ever actually received a so-called participation trophy. As far as I know they made it up just to be dicks
Maybe an app like FakeStandby would work.
If your device has an AMOLED screen it should be basically the same as having the screen turned off. You could just disable the screen timeout and use FakeStandby to turn off all the pixels without actually “turning off” the screen
Is that a reference to the Spout Lore podcast?
Vyng van Zumba (sp?) is a half-elf druid.
He comes from a long line of elfs, not those silly made-up elves
you aren’t necessarily yet violating GPLv2, but you’re removing a technical protection measure which is a violation of the DMCA.
Isn’t overcoming a technical limit a violation itself? That’s what made DeCSS illegal. They didn’t have to prove anyone was actually copying DVDs with it, just that DeCSS could allow you to copy a DVD
That looks like Google Sheets, so on Firefox you can use the Dark Reader extension to invert the color
Agh! Light mode!
