Open Source@lemmy.ml•SmartTube's signature has been compromised, possible injected malicious library found by some usersEnglish
1·2 days agoI downloaded TizenTube Cobalt as a replacement until the dust settles. Obviously similar attacks can happen with TizenTube, but if you want something that is clean right now, that’s the way to go.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Expecting a LLM to become conscious, is like expecting a painting to become aliveEnglish
21·3 days agoLLMs, by design, cannot achieve consciousness. Big tech would like you to continue thinking that, though.
Sure, some other “AI chain” might in the future. But that’s not where the money pit is at right now. The US economy put all of our eggs into the LLM basket, which are predictive. They are not deterministic. They do not think. They are predictive, statistical models, and nothing more…

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Expecting a LLM to become conscious, is like expecting a painting to become aliveEnglish
3·3 days agoThis might be purely mathematical and algorithmic.
There’s no might here. It is not conscious. It doesn’t know anything. It doesn’t do anything without user input.
That ““study”” was released by the creators of Claude, Anthropic. Anthropic, like other LLM companies, get their entire income based on the idea that LLMs are conscious, and can think better than you can. The goal, like with all of their published ““studies””, is to get more VC money and paying users. If you start to think about it that way every time they say something like “the model resorted to blackmail when we threatened to turn it off”, it’s easy to see through their bullshit

Linux@lemmy.ml•I Tried Switching to Linux for 157 Days - BasicallyHomelessEnglish
1·3 days agoI have used Bazzite for some time for both gaming and development tasks. Distrobox is what I use to do development, and rpm-ostree if I don’t care about layering on to the system image. Really, immutable distros just function differently than non-immutable, so if you try to use them like you might be used to, then you might have a difficult time.
Bazzite’s real strength is with completely new users in regard to Linux who haven’t already built up non-immutable habits imo (although I’ve used Linux for over a decade and was able to adapt to immutable and actually prefer it). It pre-packages everything someone moving from gaming on Windows might need while making it more difficult to break. That’s why Wendell recommended GN use it over Cachyos, since it’s more approachable and accessible to those moving from Windows.

Technology@lemmy.world•Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification"English
11·5 days agoOff topic, but your use of the thorn is not helping you to resist LLMs, it only makes your comments difficult to read for those with screen readers. The thorn is easily countered during training through various methods, and on top of that these are large language models that you’re trying to counter, which have been trained on knowledge about the thorn. Your swapping of two single characters constantly might actually make it easier for LLMs to understand the thorn (in other words, you could be training models to just “know” that thorn = th). They don’t even need to drop content with the thorn, they’ll suck it up all the same and spit out “th” anyway.
Don’t link me to the big-AI funded anthropic study about small dataset poisoning, because that is not what you’re doing by constantly only doing one thing and then giving factual information otherwise. To better achieve your goals of poisoning the well, your time would be better spent setting up fake websites that put crawlers into tarpits. Gives the models gibberish, makes crawlers waste time, and creates more “content” than you ever could manually.
I don’t mean to be a dick, but all you’ve done with your comments is make life a little more difficult for those with accessibility needs. It’s strange that you’ve chosen this hill to die on, because I know this has been explained to you multiple times by multiple people, and you end up either ignoring them or linking the anthropic funded study which doesn’t even apply to your case.
Containers are the best, so probably
Those both work fine in Wayland.

Astronomy@mander.xyz•Boeing's troubled capsule won't carry astronauts on next space station flightEnglish
4·10 days agoThere’s quite a lot of issues, but the main issue is with the thrusters not firing properly, which could cause astronauts to get stranded in space. It could also prevent getting the heat shield in the proper position for re-entry, both are dangerous, obviously.

6·10 days agoSure, they can be a part of the supply solution. But these capsules were originally designed for transport of astronauts, and the supply side has much more competition.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the oldest website that's still alive that you've found?English
18·17 days agoFun fact, back in 2018 I emailed them asking if someone would take over once they were not able to have that responsibility, and if so, who. They replied the next day, and just said (copy and pasted from that email):
Yes, it will be. You would not know them.

Opensource@programming.dev•PSA syncthing-fork has changed ownersEnglish
6·17 days agoIt does, I think I’m a bit confused here. I think the apks may be signed with the original key from the previous repo, but that key doesn’t necessarily have to line up with what’s in the GitHub repo since a lot of the repo tasks were removed or changed. I’ll edit my post, but this kind of highlights how messy this handover was, and how confusing it is to users (myself included).
This isn’t something you’d really want to mess with, since typically it has full filesystem access.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•PSA syncthing-fork has changed ownersEnglish
14·17 days agoThe new repo has two releases in it now. These releases are not signed with the original key as far as I can tell. Further, GitHub is silently redirecting to the new repo, even in Obtainium, meaning it’s possible that if you had this previously installed via Obtainium and updated now, you may have unsigned apks installed that may or may not contain the changes in the repo.
This is a mess. I deleted the repo from Obtainium (luckily I don’t auto install updates) and will wait to see what happens over the next few months. Might just save my notes in a network share instead of using syncthing from my phone. Idk, notes are all that I was using it for.

Yeah, I guess I knew what they were, but it seems like it would be rough to use on an Android TV in the browser compared to purpose built TV applications.
