@davidaugust would just like to say your alt text on this image is excellent. I know 2 folks with bad eyesight, and this kind of thing makes a real difference in their online experience. Thank you.

The Google AI isn’t hallucinating about glue in pizza, it’s just over indexing an 11 year old Reddit post by a dude named fucksmith.

That could be a unit of measurement to rate the ridiculousness of LLM answers. "Wow, that's like 6 fucksmiths"

Gemini 1.5 pro, gpt-4o, claude3 opus, mistral, llama3...

Not a one of them could correctly tell me how to install home-manager on macos.
Not. A. One.

When trying to resolve errors it created, they would keep repeating themselves.

The only time things go useful is when I added this to the system prompts "It is important that the information you tell me is accurate and not a guess. If you do not know, simply say 'I don't know.'"

It's very difficult for an LLM to say "I don't know."

My review of the brand new Magic Keyboard for iPad that just came out yesterday.

  1. Metal construction makes it feel way better
  2. Haptic trackpad is wonderful
  3. Function row makes it more…functional

Love this thing.

Welp: I'm not getting a new iPad, but @feorag's is arriving next Wednesday. (An Air to replace a several-generations-older one.)

I'm hanging on for a new iPad Mini later in the year—unless Apple surprise us all with an iPhone Fold.

@aral
-- This makes WezTerm appear almost native on GNOME when combined

-- However, it does not appear to behaving well with the
-- Tiling Assistant extension. Does not tile correctly.

The struggle is real. 😂

I need to convert to and I'm looking for a tool to do that.

The output should

• preserve line breaks in paragraphs
• not contain additional, unnecessary linebreaks (e.g. 4 empty lines between paragraphs)
• be configurable (e.g. whether to use * or _ for emphasis, or * vs - for unordered lists)
• if possible, allow me to hook into details (e.g. to convert <pre class="shell"> to ```sh)

or . Alternatively, what's a really configurable prettifier?

@scy Seems like https://github.com/matthewwithanm/python-markdownify would give you customization options. I threw this together.

So. I'm thinking of leaving for an instance that blocks . I've read the reasons, and it's not enough to play in the same waters as the evilcorp that is meta.

Suggestions? Tech centric, inclusive, progressive is what I'm looking for.

New LLM plugin: llm-reka - for running prompts against the Reka family of models via their API - https://www.reka.ai/

llm keys set reka

@simon is it easier to write all these interface plugins instead of using open router? Doesn't openrouter give you access to tons of llms with 1 interface?

I released a new tool recently called files-to-prompt, which concatenates together a bunch of files and directories to help pipe them into a LLM as part of a prompt

I built the tool almost entirely through prompting Claude 3 Opus. Here's a detailed write-up of how I did that and what I learned along the way:

My experience with on mobile has been so abysmal lately, I'm going to sadly try going back to Brave. I've neutered TF out of Brave, disabling almost everything it does. Chrome doesn't let me use the web the way I want, Brave at least has filtering. Firefox's SPA handling, absolutely awful performance, constant 1password issues, DOH performance, and just general bugginess is something I just don't want to deal with anymore. See ya in a few years Firefox, hope you get your shit together.

Worshipping an orange-white guy as a dictator who cheated on wife #1 and impregnated wife #2 while still married to #1, then cheated on #2 with wife #3, and cheated with porn stars while #3 was home with a newborn: today’s Christian nationalism in a nutshell.

The winners of the Philip K Dick Awards are announced tonight. My book, "Where Rivers Go To Die" was a finalist but didn't win.
Congrats to the winner Bethany Jacobs, "These Burning Stars", and the runner up, Rebekah Bergman, "The Museum of Human History"

Well, I've now been listed 13 times for 9 different awards, without winning any! I'm getting used to it, maybe setting some kind of record of most nominations without winning.

@dilmandila @bookstodon maybe the judges didn't like rivers dying?
