Good news! RCV already solves that problem

If Bernie didn’t get enough votes to win, the votes for him go to the voters’ second choice candidate (Biden – few voters would want Bernie-Trump). If those combined votes are enough for him to win, then Biden wins in that state. In RCV, Trump would only win if people actually preferred him over Biden

[Borat voice: wife!] right now

This sounds like Reflexive Control. They’re testing the waters to set the groundwork for him being locked up. He wants it to not shock his supporters back into sanity.

In other words, he thinks he might actually end up in prison.

…finally

That little rat a has been by my side so long (Debian + XFCE) 🐀❤️

I recall using Web Spider on Netscape Navigator circa 1997 or so. Then Yahoo! was the big deal for a few years before Google

“an sequel”? Tell me I haven’t been saying it wrong this whole time 💀

I was going to disagree with you by using AI to generate my response, but the generated response was easily recognizable as non-human. You may be onto something lol

It’s doublespeak, a la 1984. In this case many of the words used are inversions of their usual meaning.

I’ll provide some translations:

patriots -> seditionists

biblical -> cloaked in the authority of God – which here must be explicitly stated because their actions are opposed to any God of justice

open boarders -> following legal and ethical principles (remember, these people oppose ethical principles)

peacemakers -> those who use violence, or the threat of violence, to obstruct peace. See also, terrorists

besieged by dark forces of evil -> opposed by morality, ethics, or the law. The addition of “on all sides” changes the ‘or’ to ‘and’

As a bonus, “globalists” is antisemitism. There’s an old canard that justice for minorities = communism = Jewish conspiracy. This is particularly common among nazis. The convoy organizer is signaling that their group is accepting of these ideas

I imagine there’s code to do something like currency conversion or maybe rewards points calculation so the displayed amount is not actually the number used for the final total

I think I understand how it works.

Remember that LLMs are glorified auto-complete. They just spit out the most likely word that follows the previous words (literally just like how your phone keyboard suggestions work, just with a lot more computation).

They have a limit to how far back they can remember. For ChatGPT 3.5 I believe it’s 24,000 tokens.

So it tries to follow instruction and spits out “poem poem poem” until all the data is just the word “poem”, then it doesn’t have enough memory to remember its instructions.

“Poem poem poem” is useless data so it doesn’t have anything to go off of, so it just outputs words that go together.

LLMs don’t record data in the same way a computer file is stored, but absent other information may “remember” that the most likely word to follow the previous word is something that it has seen before, i.e. its training data. It is somewhat surprising that it is not just junk. It seems to be real text (such as bible verses).

If I am correct then I’m surprised OpenAI didn’t fix if. I would think they could make it so in the event the LLM is running out of memory it would keep the input and simply abort operation, or at least drop the beginning of its output.

What, no Debian on that list? Are you telling me that even after all these years I still haven’t landed???

S_E_N_D

N_U_D_E_S

TIL that term is considered a slur. I remember learning about them in anthropology class ~15 years ago and that was the term used.

So is the respectful terminology today to use whichever modern LGBTQ label is accurate, or should I use two-spirit in historical context?

That’s actually not what copyright is for. Copyright was made to enhance the public culture by promoting the creation of art.

If these record label types impede public culture then they are antithetical to copyright

Good point. Many of us didn’t get to choose whether we “are political”

Haha, well you got me there. I did all that when I was your age, in 2009 :P

These days I don’t use my personal computer very often so I want a distro that doesn’t break when I update it, so I use Debian Stable with XFCE.

I’m not sure what that makes it in terms of OP’s meme. Maybe XFCE is the car

Not unless you’re really young. I was just a Linux enthusiast and had a tight budget. I think this is the original article that inspired me: https://hackaday.com/2009/09/25/with-zipit-who-needs-a-netbook/

I did back in college. Mobile computing was just becoming a thing but I was way too hipster (and poor) for a PDA or one of those newfangled “smart phone” devices.

I hacked together a wifi SMS texting gadget following a tutorial on Hack a Day. It ran Debian with Linux kernel 2.6 and was so fun to tinker with.

It had 32 MB of RAM but X used 11 MB of that so you couldn’t really do anything in graphical mode anyway. A shell running GNU screen however only took 4 MB so it was much more usable from the terminal.

I eventually figured out a way to pipe images and even (non accelerated, since it didn’t have a GPU) video from mplayer to write directly into the framebuffer. It was a real bear to get it translated into landscape mode.

I Am Legend in 144p never looked so good.

Even with the terrible specs, I have never loved a phone so much as I loved that little computer

Thank you for breaking my brain

Thank you. That is the same tutorial I used.

I too encountered those same stumbling blocks.

I found it was easiest to browse add-ons on my PC and save them to the list there, then subscribe to the list on mobile
