- Comment on AI finds errors in 90% of Wikipedia's best articles 18 hours ago:
This is an interesting idea:
The “at least one” in the prompt is deliberately aggressive, and seems likely to force hallucinations in case an article is definitely error-free. So, while the sample here (running the prompt only once against a small set of articles) would still be too small for it, it might be interesting to investigate using this prompt to produce a kind of article quality metric: If it repeatedly results only in invalid error findings (i.e. what a human reviewer no Disagrees with), that should indicate that the article is less likely to contain factual errors

Maybe it depends what you’re fishing for. Seems true to me. It also seems like they jump more in the rain.

I don’t mean to question the sincerity of your post when I ask this. Did you use a LLM, like chatgpt, to edit/phrase your question? This style of writing is also used by humans, so I absolutely could be wrong. I am just checking my AI detection calibration.

I think it is tricky to contain, being so small, that storage is a big part of why it’s too expensive.

A standardized magnetic pogo pin connector
That’s something I hadn’t considered before. What a neat idea.

A lot overboard, really. There is a long way to go for truth and reconciliation.

- Comment on How I hacked my washing machine 4 months ago:
I was bracing myself for some level of absurdity after this disclaimer.
Instead it seemed to be pretty reasonably complicated. They didn’t flash some custom firmware or even mess with the hardware at all.
Sure, it is complicated, but in terms of hacks it seems to be par for the course.

Ah this makes sense; the hanging brain, as opposed to the brain safety stowed away inside ones skull.

Theres usually at least some support for connecting game console controllers. That might be an option alongside kdeconnect for the games. I think ps4/xbox one and later both work out of the box over bluetooth. Not sure how it would work in firefox though.

- Comment on Belkin is ending support for nearly all its Wemo smart home devices 4 months ago:
Around here most folks don’t seem to imply their partners are not good with tech, just that they aren’t excited about a reduced reliability of their home. Maybe this is more of a trope in other online spades. This commenter seems to respect that most people expect the basic functions of their house to work reliably.
“family acceptance factor” “spouse acceptance factor” “I will consider how others feel and how I might affect them”
I think it’s important to be careful around how you refer to your partner, especially if they are of a marginalized group. I just don’t think this commenter was being disrespectful.
