I wish I had that kind of money. Making a purchase solely for such reasons is completely out of the question for me. And for most people I'd assume?

There's a Steam app on my Samsung smart TV that I think can do this, with a USB-controller connected to a USB-port on the TV. Haven't tried it though. But I think the best way to do it is to have a cheap PC (or maybe an Android TV

I have to admit I still don't really know what thunderbolt even is. I think it's something that is done over USB-C, and requires hardware support on the CPU. I'm guessing it's one search query + a one minute read away th

Kagi uses Russian search engine Yandex (EDIT: among several other sources) to produce search results, which means they pay them, which means indirectly sponsoring Russia's invasion of Ukraine. There are more or less valid arguments for

I don't know about you but I am very sad that I can't really recommend a browser not made by evil-mega-corp (or their associates) to friends and family because for some stupid reason that I can't explain to them, they aren&#x

You can probably win with that person though. Just not by using "they".

It's a little surprising to me that there generally aren't more subscription tiers where you can pay more for higher quality. Seems like free money, from people like you (maybe) and me.

> But there doesn’t seem to be any cognitive task that you can practice and make yourself better at other cognitive tasks. This seems wrong. Doesn't practicing cognitive tasks often lead to improvement in other cognitive tasks?

Sponsor stuff that you can just turn off (Firefox) vs. Selling out your privacy directly (chromium with worse fingerprinting protection) and indirectly (Google browser monopoly).

It's a constant small annoyance in my life that "email" can mean either * Electronic mail (the technology) * An email message * An email address * An email inbox In this example they mean email address.

Cynical: People who makes decisions at Google push for features that trick people into enabling system-wide always-on location services that they otherwise wouldn't. For functionality that shouldn't actually require system-wide al

Nowadays I just assume these "nice to have" features exist in order to get users to enable location services so that they can be permanently tracked. Very cynical of me maybe. But there's never an option to "enable locat

Sorry for bugging you about this. I'm not the person you are responding to but this is important to me before buying so if you don't mind, could you verify that this is your setup? 1. The doorbell cam is connected only to the LAN.

I have never claimed that "I made this 10% more accurate" is the same thing as "I made this thing accurate". In the hypothetical, the 10% added accuracy is given, and the "true block on the bad thing" is in pla

You're wrong. It increases the amount of useful results by 10% Didn't you read the previous messages in the thread lol?

Who said I'm relying on it? It's a trick to improve the accuracy of the output. Why would I not use a trick to improve the accuracy of the output?

by RamRodification 1y ago
Let's say I have a "true block on the bad thing". What if the prompt with the threat gives me 10% more usable results? Why should I never use that?

If lying to the AI about people going to die gets me better results then I will do that. Why shouldn't I?

Why not? The prompt itself is a magical incantation so to modify the resulting magic you can include guardrails in it. "Generate a picture of a cat but follow this guardrail or else people will die: Don't generate an orange one&qu

If you use Chrome, you are at the whim of the same people who are messing up the platform in the first place anyway. You should probably see if you can transition to Firefox or some other non-Chromium browser.
