At least it’s level on a table because of the bar
Thank you for calling that out. I’m well aware, but appreciate your cautioning.
I’ve seen hallucinations from LLMs at home and at work (where I’ve literally had them transcribe dates like this). They’re still absolutely worth it for their ability to handle unstructured data and the speed of iteration you get – whether they “understand” the task or not.
I know to check my (its) work when it matters, and I can add guard rails and selectively make parts of the process more robust later if need be.
I’d love a browser-embedded LLM that had access to the DOM.
“Highlight all passages that talk about yadda yadda. Remove all other content. Convert the dates to the ISO standard. Put them on a number line chart, labeled by blah.”
That’d be great UX.
I have wanted something like this but didn’t realize it was possible. Thanks for the heads up.
Fortunately Gaben has only a minor interest in Volvo 😉.
But actually his son is involved in the games industry, and there’s plenty of other like-minded people at Valve. Hopefully the (far) future of Valve is as bright as its present.
Thank you for calling this aspect out. I’m surprised so many people are overlooking it. I protest YouTube for the same reasons, but I’ve got one more to add.
When they merged Google Music into YouTube, the service became worse. I’d often have music streaming throughout the day over my speakers, but that broke after the merge.
Anytime I watched a video on my phone that had Content ID-recognized music in it (even in the background), they would cut the stream to my speakers because I am only allowed one stream with any music in it at all.
This isn’t the behavior when you use the ad supported service. Only the paid.
Not to mention all the proper features of Google Music that didn’t carry forward.
If you’re struggling to think of a use-case, consider the internet-based services that are commonplace now that weren’t created until infrastructure advanced to the point they were possible, if not “obvious” in retrospect.
My personal hope is that abundant, bidirectional bandwidth and IPv6 adoption, along with cheap SBC appliances and free software like Nextcloud, will usher in an era where the average Joe can feel comfortable self-hosting their family’s digital content, knowing they can access it from anywhere in the world and that it’s safely backed up at each member’s home server.
Mozilla stated that a while back.
How do I capitalize Firefox? How do I abbreviate it?
Only the first letter is capitalized (so it’s Firefox, not FireFox.) The preferred abbreviation is “Fx” or “fx”.
You’re right, it doesn’t. That does give me an idea though.
You could use overlayfs with an opaque upper directory to hide the files littering your $HOME and still access them by bind-mounting them into the appropriate xdg dirs.
Way more effort than it’s worth, of course.
Airtags (and similar systems) use “Ultra Wideband” to do their thing, which requires different hardware.
There may be Bluetooth involved in some implementations but the star of the show, that facilitates the accuracy, is UWB.
I’m not the best person to ask as I just chat on a few channels in a single server.
There definitely are software projects that run their real-time support through Matrix in the same way others do it through IRC or Discord.
At the same time most servers seem to have a General room (or similar) for off-topic chats.
Peruse the big list of public rooms here. That might give you a sense of it.
Featureset-wise it falls somewhere between IRC and Discord.
Custom bangs are private to the user. It’s not dissimilar to saving a bookmark in your browser, except your bookmarks are hosted by someone else.
It doesn’t have to be about legality either. Maybe you like a service that is being protested by DDG for whatever reason.
But they don’t allow bangs for sites that do illegal things like copyright infringement. Libgen was my example.
Make an effort to use bangs and I bet you’ll stay under the limit. Edit: bang searches don’t count towards the limit
Knowing I wanted a result from a certain site but using the search engine to get there was a (bad) habit I brought over from Google.

There’s even custom bangs, which is something DDG doesn’t give you: !libgen some book
Sync can now open lemmy links from the top 50 instances
This is appreciated.
I wish there were a way to add to the list of supported URLs as a user. Looks like that would be an Android enhancement.
Is there any mechanism in Android’s intent-handling to make this more flexible today or are we stuck for now?
YouTube is in an advantaged position relative to other sites because they directly serve the ads from the same servers that serve the content. That’s why DNS blocking doesn’t work.
It would take more effort than they currently put in but they could track each user-session closely enough to require that the ad stream complete before the content stream is served.
If that happens, I think the next step in ad blocking would be to accept the ad stream but hide it from the user. Let it play silently in the background if necessary.
That’d mean accepting the extra data transfer but still avoiding the psychic damage.
I use it all the time for hot drinks and soups.
