I don’t know about Yiddish culture, but there are a lot of cultures where it would be considered extremely improper to tell someone they made a mistake because this would ring shame on them – complaining to a superior even more so. In these cultures, you have to resort to such indirect clues as described in the joke to communicate complaints.
As I understand it, this joke describes the a clash between shame based and guilt based cultures making fun of both.
Is it even legal to use lemmy with any other keyboard than thumb-key?
That’s a misconception how LLMs work. It is how SF-authors imagined AI would work.
LLMs won’t give you logical solutions to your problems — they’ll give you the essence of the data they were fed with that are statistically likely to be associated with the words you used to prompt them. And since they are usually trained on the enshittified internet, well, you get what you paid for.
The original TWM is definetely an experience nobody should miss. Like lighting a fire or washing your clothes manually.
You do not use TWM, do you?
There is no such thing as a generic installer for all linux distributions. Distributions differ, and you cannot assume that an install script that works for distribution X will work on distribution Y. And that’s exactly why linux is almost unusable without a package manager – you’d have to manage dependency hell, install paths, configuration and uninstalling process on your own.
By the way, software repos are not maintained by the authors of projects, they are maintained by the distributors.
Furthermore, piping a downloaded script into sh is such terrible practice, that everyone who offers this idea is either a malicious actor or utter ignorant of any basic security practice – you wouldn’t want software from either.
They are already using the Windows recovery disk. This is not about accessing the disk, but to access the OS with admin rights.
There is the gutenprint project supplying drivers for a lot of older printer models.
Well – this might be more succesful in boostering the IT skills of France’s next generation than any curriculum reform.
They renamed mens quintembris and mens sextembris to July and August. Originally, The Roman year started on the spring equinox at 1 March, and September–December were indeed the 7th—10th month of their year. Spring equinox shifted over the centuries due to an incorrectly calculated length of the year. I forgot why they shifted New Year to 1 January and who did this.
IIRC Thunderbird acquired K9 and rebranded it.
My browser eats timestamps, til. And yes, that is impressive.
Thanks, I’ll listen into it.
This is far worse than being not a reliable source of info. Ms Chen had all the info she needed, and Claude falsified it.
Hm. I wasn’t able to listen to all 9:53:57, but in the samples I watched I heard a voice resembling the classical computer voice of Science Fiction movies of the 70s. Better than most YouTube AI generated audio content, but good enough to narrate audio books? Well, we’ll accustom to anything, I guess.
To rephrase my question: where can I listen to an example of good AI spoken content?
Reading is not an alternative to listening. Both have different use cases. You cannot read while driving, to name just one.
Using different voices to read different parts of a book turns an audiobook into a bad audio play, and arguably, a bad audio play is worse than a mediocre audio book.
What audible misses is, that, while reading is a technique that can be automated, narrating is an art. They can use AI to read books, they cannot use AI to narrate books.
Your example of AI use is a good example of this: AI can read your content. AI can enhance your capabilities. But only you can narrate it.
Did you ever heard a single AI-narrated content that did not make you run away screaming?
There is a traditional saying in Germx’an: punctual as the railway. It’s meaning has shifted quite a lot after Deutsche Bahn was transformed from a public service to a private company. So yes, the reliability of DB is indeed incredible. They’d have to issue notes when they’re on time nowadays, though.
