Maybe ccleaner was fine, there were a bunch of these tools and ccleaner is the one i remembered the name. Wasnt really trying to criticize ccleaner specifically

This is reminding me of those pc optimizer tools like CCleaner that promised to find a bunch of things to uninstall and redundant/trash files to delete and make your pc 3000x faster, but ended up breaking your system.

No need for that “and”, it’s redundant.

For tex, i would suggest taking a basic template, and writing what you need, looking up how to do things as you need them. Theres a bunch of documentation on sites like overleaf, and you can learn a lot by looking at stackexchange threads.

Libre office exists

The associativity thing also doesnt make sense.

That the script could incorporate some checking mechanisms and implement an “i dont know” for when the LLMs answers fails some tests.

They already do some of that but for other purposes, like censoring, or as by recent news, grok looks up musks opinions before answering questions, or to make more accurate math calculations they actually call a normal calculator, and so on…

They could make the LLM produce an answer A, then look up the question on google and ask that LLM to “compare” answer A with the main google results looking for inconsistencies and then return “i dont know” if its too inconsistent. Its not a rigorous test, but its something, and im sure the actual devs of those chatbots could make something much better than my half baked idea.

The chatbots are not just LLMs though. They run scripts in which some steps are queries to an LLM.

They have a point, chatbots are built on top of LLMs, they arent just LLMs.

They could be programmed to do some double/triple checking, and return “i dont know” when the checks are negative. I guess that would compromise the apparence of oracle that their parent companies seem to dissimulately push onto them.

If too much of these services are provided by another country, that country could severely cripple your infrastructure by denying you service. In times of international conflicts, this could be a very serious problem.

I use simple tab groups on firefox, it allows you to set a default container to tabs in each group, so its very convenient to manage.

So when can we stop with this “free markets” nonsense in the third world aswell??

If i got it right, flatpacks gather all of the dependencies of the package and bundles them with tha package. Maybe those extra 290mb were from dependencies that you already had installed but that flatpak wanted to install another copy.

Dont use these situations to put the ‘weird’ label on the guy.

I think pirating scientific papers is a good thing all around. The research isnt funded by the selling of access to those papers, much on the contrary.

Outlets shouldnt be making predictions about the future with phrases that imply certainty. Especially when accusing someone.

They were deceived? When the oulet said she lied, they were claiming to know the future. They lied.

im glad that it works for you, but my point is that we should have the right to have a non-intrusive phone just as easily as we have intrusive ones. People shouldnt be expected to learn how to unlock a bootloader, or import one of the few phone models that support these alternative roms with all security features in place. In the process of installing these roms, some people might fall into the trap of installing them from a suspicious source.

Lets clarify this.

Your principle is “The moment your opinion starts to dictate other people’s lives, it becomes invalid.”

My opinion is “People should be prevented from polluting the rivers.”

You say the opinion isnt dictating anything, that its our right to have clean rivers that dictates the prohibition to polluting rivers. Ok, fair, as far as the legislation isnt based on the opinions of the legislators about what should be allowed and what shouldnt. If the opinions that “using AI to judge if a suspected murderer is guilty is not good” or “people should be able to disable all ‘AI assistant’ features on their smartphones and not have their data constantly scanned” become popular opinions, legislature may be passed and the consequence will dictate other people’s lives.

I see what you mean though that using AI or not only concerns/affects the user. But thats not as true as it may seem.
