Scientists Discover That Feeding AI Models 10% 4Chan Trash Actually Makes Them Better Behaved
  • I like LLMs. Instead of making a racket, I just use them, which may make it seem like everyone on Lemmy hates LLMs.

  • Whats your such opinion
  • Eh, I liked it for explaining how people can behave differently.

    It doesn't have much predictive power, and thus is bad science, but I like its descriptive power. I also think it's a bad idea to see it as a quaterny (binary, trinery, ...) instead of a spectrum. Same with being introverted/extraverted - that's a spectrum as well, IMO.

  • Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. They just memorize patterns really well.
  • OK, and? A car doesn't run like a horse either, yet they are still very useful.

    I'm fine with the distinction between human reasoning and LLM "reasoning".

  • That is the way
  • Double-bang repeats the previous command. Great if you forget sudo.

    $ rm -rf <folder>
    permission denied
    $ sudo !!
    
  • That is the way
  • The first two options (autocd and cdspell) have been a lifesaver in fixing my frustrations with the default bash settings (and even lets me stick with bash, instead of feeling I should move to zsh or any other shell.

    I can just type a foldername, tabcomplete it and press enter to go there. It's great.

    # == shopts ==
    # https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/The-Shopt-Builtin.html
    shopt -s autocd         # cd into folder without cd, so 'dotfiles' will cd into the folder
    shopt -s cdspell        # attempt spelling correcting on folders
    shopt -s direxpand      # expand a partial dir name
    shopt -s checkjobs      # stop shell from exit when there's jobs running
    shopt -s dirspell       # attempt spelling correcting on folders
    shopt -s expand_aliases # aliases are expanded
    shopt -s histappend     # append to the history file, don't overwrite it
    shopt -s histreedit     # lets your re-edit old executed command
    shopt -s histverify     # I'm confused.
    shopt -s hostcomplete   # performs completion when a word contains an '@'
    shopt -s cmdhist        # save multiple-line command in single history entry
    shopt -u lithist        # multi-lines are saved with embedded newlines rather than semicolons; explictly unset
    shopt -s checkwinsize # update LINES and COLUMNS to fit output
    
  • WSL users
  • What if... WSL is a gateway drug to Arch?

    Don't do drugs, kids!

  • WSL users
  • Look what they have to do to mimic a fraction of our power

    I think that sounds more like Cygwin.

  • Such terrible people
  • I've not seen a ton of reactions, but the only people shitting on Biden for having cancer is Hasanabi & friends (the second-largest political streamer, BTW).

  • NSFW
    Why do you block people?
  • the message still needs to be said.

    No it doesn't, because this shit is just ragebait.

  • RIP obsolete tech
  • Exhume her? I barely knew her!

  • RIP obsolete tech
  • I learned not too long ago that SSDs lose data if they don't get keep getting power... Not sure how true that is, but if true, pretty awful.

  • RIP obsolete tech
  • I remember buying a laptop with a blue-ray drive. That was at least 10 years ago, and I never used it, other than holding Call of Duty (the OG) for half a year, then I put it back in its box, and that was the last time I held a CD as well (maybe a DVD? Potato / Tomato).

    Good riddance, as SSDs were up and coming, which sped up USB drives as well. (yes, yes... They still have a use, just not for me, at all).

  • After 3 years of full-scale war in Ukraine, Europe announces plan to ban all Russian gas imports
  • This only works if the influx of new users stay relatively low. See the Digg Exodus of how reddit got fucked up because Digg expelled their users too fast.

  • WSJ Drops Shock Exposé on Elon Musk’s Alleged Attempts to Impregnate X Influencers — ‘To Reach Legion Level Before the Next Apocalypse’
  • hush money is okay.

    Weird how I said "Musk is using his money to manipulate people and he’s an asshole for that", and you completely ignored it...

  • 'Sad' Continues To Be Redefined.
  • Looks like a counter to the GoFundMe GiveSendGo of Karmelo Anthony, no?

    That was fucked up as well (albeit for a different reason).

  • "Ladybird announcement" by Andreas Kling (from SerenityOS)

    Ladybird, the browser from SerentityOS, now has a non-profit behind it! The guy in the video is not Andreas, but Chris Wanstrath (former CEO from Github), and he's pumping some financial backing into this non-profit.

    I for one am happy we're getting an alternative to the Chrome/Firefox duality we're stuck with.
