Crazy what turning off the wi-fi does
Meta appears to have invested a bunch of time and money into improving FFmpeg, after realizing its internal fork was diverging heavily from the main project.
Which means we all benefit from Meta’s fixes. Not a huge Meta fan but this is cool.

dead cat bounce?
it's basically magic. your computer is way faster when it understands how to use itself. people think software and imagine it needs to be in an app store to be profitable/useful
WPBS says it's the only PBS station where a majority of members are Canadian. There's no specific demand to add it to other TV distributors, but they want to be on more cable systems in eastern Ontario and across Canada.
An application has been filed with the #CRTC to add WPBS-TV Watertown, NY, to the list of TV services eligible for distribution in Canada. The station is already carried on central/eastern Ontario cable systems through specific conditions of licence, but it wants to be able to add others.
goddammit
And it doesn't actually matter, a human still approved it (and humans acted in all the steps up and down and the chain of engagement). Blaming a computer still makes no sense. Humans pressed the buttons!
this is my first 10K like post in a while-- you're officially an influencer
holy shit

This is an irresponsible, misleading post that misrepresents what Leavitt said. There's enough awful stuff happening. Don't confuse people.

this is the actual threat of anthropomorphism

if we convict llms, how about like keyboards and ethernet cables. they're all just digital interfaces (that lead to a lot of harm to be sure!)
an app is just someone else’s control over the data
stop thinking in apps and start thinking in data sources

there must be some kind of way out of here....
"Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die'
Quite the headline from People.com

the main hallucination here is the human original poster assigning motivation to an AI interface. the claude screenshot accurately included details from the linked NPR story source www.npr.org/2026/03/04/n...
this is 100% accurate but dark leisure gets real lonely. depending on your job, it might not make sense to share your efficiencies with anyone and so you're stuck figuring out how to spend that time by yourself
straight up lucy with the football situation
hey man this is why no one can claim that telecom isn't profitable with a straight face
wish it wasn't telegraphed for a few days a head of time, but i'm sure the US would have found entirely novel ways to screw the Kurds
replace the word AI with 'software' and then you realize the horse has kind left the barn
I use it to collect and organize primary sources. It’s not immune to misunderstandings but it still is able to use context and logic to build small scripts that have deterministic outputs instead of relying on the LLM itself to generate that data. What’s an example of a mistake you’re thinking of?
It's both. It can find novel data sources on its own through its search tools (if it can actually access the destination), but it's also magic when you give it semi-unstructured data, like the website of a federal regulator.
I mean publicly available info from online sources, whether that's downloaded PDFs or API data end points. To your other question, Sonnet and Opus 4.6 are acknowledged to be very good at pushing back against incorrect or flawed logic based on a relevant benchmark: www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA...
