What are a couple that you'd like to find?

Not the only card according to the article

>"Ofcom can instead ask a court to order other services to disrupt a provider's UK business, such as requiring a service's removal from search results or blocking of UK payments.


>or blocking of uk payments

Lol


Do we think anyone in the UK is paying to advertise to the UK demographic noted on https://www.4chan.org/advertise ?

When I view a contact on Android there are options for Signal message/call/video call. This is on LineageOS.

Does that mean Signal has access to my contacts? So much for privacy!

It does not, actually. Signal only gets the contact number if you click on the button.

In my case I allowed Signal to access my contacts and these options only appear for people who use it, don't know what happens if you deny the access.

I'm guessing HN stripped the "Your" from the original title.

That's bad, but it is not an example of someone going to jail.

So the journalist or their editor didn't do any basic fact checking, that's also a sadly common tactic.

Anyone know if Toshy is usable on xfce? It's not listed on https://github.com/RedBearAK/toshy?tab=readme-ov-file#curren...

I haven't tried it but from your link it sounds like it is supported as XFCE uses X11.

The future Wayland support that the XFCE guys are working on uses wlroots so it should be easy for Toshy to support when it lands - there's a few wlroots DEs listed there.


You can use XFCE's control panel / keyboard / application shortcuts to assign xvkb invoking XF86Copy and XF86Paste to whatever you like.

xvkb: the X virtual keyboard. In full GUI mode, it saves you when your keyboard is caput. In headless mode, you can synthesize keys not found in nature, or at least not on your physical board.


When's the last time you needed to count the number of things inside a larger thing?

What's your point? Parent said "That's literally useless knowledge" in response to not knowing the number of tokens in "blueberry". Are we talking about the specific question or the general notion of counting?

The point is that LLMs don't speak / think in English. Asking them about spelling is like asking a Chinese speaker, during a text chat with translation, about English spelling. We can give the Chinese speaker access to an app to translate back to English so they can answer these questions. But they (the LLM) don't currently have access to that.


> The point is that LLMs don't speak / think in English.

They don't think or speak anything at all. They use a statistical model to predict the next most likely token to display in response to a prompt.


Distinction without a difference.

s/speak \/ think/operate/

If that makes you happy.


There is an enormous difference between claiming an LLM can think or use statistics to generate a token. All of the difference.

Irrelevant to the discussion at hand + everyone knows what you mean when you refer to "how an LLM thinks" + prove the difference between one statistical process generating tokens (LLM) and another statistical process generating tokens (human brain) please.


Thanks! Macroexpanded:
