  LLMs work by always predicting the next most likely token and LLM detection works by checking how often the next most likely token was chosen. You can tell the LLM to choose less likely tokens more often (turn up the heat parameter) but you will only get gibberish out if you do. So no, there is not.

  Real men use non-lethal glide bombs.

  Wanting to own the place you live in is just not realistic. You might think it’s unreasonable that a single room costs half a million, but actually you have just money dysmorphia. Now go pay your rent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are people in the stock photos real?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes they are.

  Here’s a TED talk on YouTube from “Hide the pain Herold” a guy who was in a stock photo that became a meme: youtu.be/FScfGU7rQaM?si=MFVrgwlJQ8DSOfVB

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨started to feel headaches and such from headphones, measured how many microteslas it emits or whatever, is this safe?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering MRTs use 1.5-7 Tesla, I can’t imagine microtesla will be doing anything, unless you have a piece of metal in your head. Maybe it’s an ear infection or a migraine or something like that gets worse from the cup pressure. If it’s a problem, ask a doctor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How whatsapp is enabling lynching of beef eaters by cow protection vigilantes⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can someone give some context why this is so heavily downvoted? Is the content misleading, or is it just that people misread the title as anti-vegan?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A number chosen truly at random will have infinite digits⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The probability of getting a finite number is pretty much zero.

  For any range [0; n], where n is finite, there are always infinitely many numbers larger than n, so the probability of getting a number in said range is n/(n+infinity). I feel very confident in saying that something with that probability will never happen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why do some people really dislike google??⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They sell ad spots based on their data about you - IMHO that’s very different from outright selling your data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The German government is working on an OSS "Sovereign Workplace"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks to me like they’re trying to build something like office 365, but open source. Mostly by wiring other open-source components together I think?

  This is probably a better starting point, unfortunately the text is in German: gitlab.opencode.de/bmi/…/info

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starlink⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d like you all to consider that places where you’d use starlink are also significantly more than 30x farther away from civilization than the average land-based internet user.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Here are some corrections:

  • Blockchain has nothing to do with P2P.

  Blockchains are federated ledgers that can’t be changed later, unless the majority of federated servers decides to. P2P means that two devices communicate without a server in the middle. Maybe you meant federated?

  • Blockchains can absolutely be hacked. You can gain majority control over the servers, in which case you can rewrite the blockchain as you want. Alternatively you can gain access to accounts/wallets by hacking the software that users store them in or by social-engineering people to give you their keys.

  • If proper end-to-end encryption is used, there is little security difference between server-based and P2P communication, but it’s much more inconvenient: You cannot save sent messages on the server for later retrieval, so if you’re trying to reach someone who’s currently offline, your device has to wait until they’re back before sending the message. Also if you use multiple devices, keeping them in sync is very complicated, because they have to be online at the same time.
