I’m so incredibly tired of weaponized stupidity. First, I had to cringe while I studied science and the internet studied the art of denying reality. Now these dipshits are in charge of the most powerful nation in the world, working tirelessly to remove it from that position.

In the case of his daughter, he believes the hospital should have given her budesonide, a steroid often prescribed for asthma, among other conditions, that has been touted by Kennedy for treating measles. “They didn’t give her the budesonide breathing treatment that we’d been asking for,” Hildebrand said. “They were saying that the IV steroids they were giving her were better.”

Seriously, why even treat these people? Let them treat each other with vibes and ivermectin or whatever

Example?

Isn’t every app that’s not open source assumed to be spyware nowadays?

Wake me up when this sort of thing is actually illegal. Preferably punishable with jail time.

Actually, this is a great idea in principle, because the inverse is possible.

We could use Amazon’s resources for search, then use a browser plug-in to replace the buy button and have it buy the product from somewhere else using an AI agent.

In the decades that people have been screaming about nuclear plants “taking too long to build” stalling progress, we could have built many nuclear plants and significantly reduced emissions.

We’ve kicked the can down the road for far too long. We are well past the point of preventing the devastating impacts of climate change we were warned about 20+ years ago.

If this institute is so convinced wind and solar are the answer, I hope they also have vast amounts of lithium pre-mined or a novel approach to energy storage that isn’t so damaging.

Reddit natively supports RSS feeds as well. The major feature here is comment support IMO.

Is there any way to fling YouTube videos to SmartTube from a smartphone?

That’s the one thing locking me into Kodi.

One of the best use cases for LLM’s is to desensationalize the news. I’m tired, Mom.

I’m referring to streaming all audio from the phone over WiFi in the same way that Bluetooth audio can be streamed.

Cast is occasionally supported by specific apps, but there is no audio driver level support for any protocol.

DLNA / UPnP streaming is the most open and widely supported WiFi based audio protocol I’m aware of. Many modern stereo receivers can receive DLNA audio streams. Bluetooth has always had limitations both with range and quality.

For the user whose VRAM knob goes to 11

Here are some techniques for measuring alignment:

By in large, the goals driving LLM alignment are to answer things correctly and in a way that won’t ruffle too many feathers. Any goal driven by human feedback can introduce bias, sure. But as with most of the world, the primary goal of companies developing LLMs is to make money. Alignment targets accuracy and minimal bias, because that’s what the market values. Inaccuracy and biased models aren’t good for business.

I believe it’s supported. On initial install, I remember reading that it was possible to fling a video to SmartTube from the official YouTube app, but that wasn’t an option for me using NewPipe on Android. Saying that out loud, it’s probably worth it for me download the official YouTube app, just so I can do that.

Also, the GitHub readme is a bit long and intimidating for installation. All you have to do is install this app:

Then use the code 28544 to install SmartTube.

It’s just a way to sidestep Google, since Google obviously doesn’t want an app like this listed on their official store.

Yes, you can

This is a hit on my TV, because it includes ad and sponsor blocking

Greedy Fuck Hunt 😂

That’s probably even easier to build, just a few mods to this:

How long until someone uses the Hello Mario Framework or similar to build a game where Luigi battles US healthcare, pharma, and oil execs?

Your anger should be directed toward the Citizens United ruling, which makes these insane contributions possible in the first place.

FWIW, Elon Musk personally donated more than double that $129M to the Trump campaign—more than double the amount that the entire crypto industry has donated in three election cycles, despite there being a $6.6k campaign contribution limit for individuals per candidate per cycle. That limit shouldn’t be trivial to bypass, and it should be probably be lower. Or, in some fantasy land where America is something like a democracy, elections would be publicly funded with an equal amount given to each candidate.

Gotta love when a comment complaining about something that didn’t happen gets the most upvotes.

Edit: For those curious about what actually did happen

Salt Typhoon exploited technical vulnerabilities in some of the cybersecurity products like firewalls used to protect large organizations. Once inside the network, the attackers used more conventional tools and knowledge to expand their reach, gather information, stay hidden and deploy malware for later use.

The hack revealed in the Linus video is concerning, but only if you’re a targeted individual. This hack was used for mass surveillance, affected way more people, and was achieved by exploiting security vulnerabilities.

The technical deep dive is a pretty interesting read.
