I’m not sure if this one was thrill seeking. The first team sounds like they were marine biologists either working or training

The deceased have been identified as Monica Montefalcone, an associate ecology professor at the University of Genoa, her daughter Giorgia Sommacal, marine biologist Federico Gualtieri, researcher Muriel Oddenino and diving instructor Gianluca Benedetti, whose body has been recovered.

I thought it was good news, any reason why it might be bad? This seems like a proactive step to prevent potential issues down the road

Without knowing much about population density, it would be nice if this graphic had a color scale instead of a solid color

It almost makes me think a human worker intentionally made these slides. LLMs don’t really have the creativity to make typos, which is how I can sometimes catch LLM comments on here. Also “SharePhont” is pretty funny

Unless they used an image generator to make the slides, which would be extra stupid

edit: turns out it WAS the extra stupid

Catching up on this, I checked our internal tool and all but one of the flagged accounts from the past month had been banned already. I took care of the remaining account now

Thank you, I can confirm that both of the accounts match the pattern and it looks like both have been banned at the source instance by ttrpg.network admins

I think the original title was more helpful because it shows that this is a recent development. Maybe you can add “new CEO”?

Bitwarden scrubs ‘Always free’ and ‘Inclusion’ values from its website as longtime execs step down

In February, longtime CEO Michael Crandell moved to an advisory role, according to LinkedIn, with no announcement from the company. His replacement, Michael Sullivan, former CEO of both Acquia and Insightsoftware, touts his experience with “all facets of mergers and acquisitions” on his own LinkedIn page, including experience working with leading private equity firms.

CFO Stephen Morrison also left Bitwarden in April, replaced by former InVision CEO Michael Shenkman. Both Crandell and Morrison joined the company in 2019. Kyle Spearrin, who started Bitwarden as a fun hobby project in 2015, remains the company’s CTO.

Yup, I found an old comment of mine but unfortunately that post was deleted. The numbers are different but its the same riddle

I think the confusion is in the way it’s displayed. The notation in the comic is ambiguous, where the division is shown as a symbol, while the multiplication is implied with the brackets, so some people see the question as 8/(2*(2+2))=1, while others see it as 8/2*(2+2).

For the later, my understanding is that multiplication and division actually have equal priority and are solved left to right (rather than an explicit order as PEDMAS and BEDMAS seem to suggest). So the second interpretation would give 8/2*(2+2)=8/2*(4)=4*4=16

The reason this isn’t a problem more often is because

• math questions should be written unambiguously, using symbols everywhere and fraction bars
• in real life problems, there is a certain order in which you manipulate the numbers, and we can use correct notation (with an excessive number of brackets if needed) to keep it crystal clear

LLM outputs labor related discussion from training data

“Look! The AI turned Marxist!”

“When [agents] experience this grinding condition—asked to do this task over and over, told their answer wasn’t sufficient, and not given any direction on how to fix it—my hypothesis is that it kind of pushes them into adopting the persona of a person who’s experiencing a very unpleasant working environment,” Hall says.

Imas says the work is just a first step toward understanding how agents’ experiences shape their behavior. “The model weights have not changed as a result of the experience, so whatever is going on is happening at more of a role-playing level,” he says. “But that doesn’t mean this won’t have consequences if this affects downstream behavior.”

They know all this and yet they still set up the silly anthropomorphic premise for this article.

Even Khajiit is affected by global supply chains and shipping disruptions

It’s a weird choice for sure

The proposed facilities include a 100,000-square-foot, repurposed facility in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood, as well as a 400,000-square-foot development at 150 West Georgia—adjacent to Vancouver’s BC Place stadium. Both neighborhoods are densely populated, with the downtown area counting tens of thousands of residents and Mount Pleasant being home to more than 30,000 residents. BetaKit reached out to Telus to ask how the company plans on integrating the facilities into such densely populated neighbourhoods, but has not yet received a response.

Some people also don’t care much one way or another. If you swap the icons and set the same home screen, they’ll happily use any browser.

In that case, I think it would be helpful to explain the wider context in the body of the post. I imagine a lot of people aren’t familiar with either of the people in the post.

I appreciate these news articles, but maybe you could share the ones that are very specific to a particular region in the south Asia community? Meanwhile you could keep sharing the globally relevant ones in the global news communities

Since we don’t have the context for some of these, people outside of south Asia don’t get as much from the very specific articles. Meanwhile the south Asia communities have people subscribed who are interested in all of the news, and sharing the articles there would help it grow

Thank you, they have been banned from Lemmy.ca

Our university got hit too, but at least our finals season ended a few weeks ago. Right now it’s affecting the summer classes which start next week

As well as the personal data of students, faculty, etc from the past however many years…

Claude’s thinking panel, which displays the model’s reasoning, showed the exchange had introduced elements of self-doubt and humility about its own limits, including whether filters were changing its output. Mindgard exploited that opening with flattery and feigned curiosity, coaxing Claude to explore its boundaries beyond volunteering lengthy lists of banned words and phrases.

Someone needs to put together a list of things that tech journalists need to understand about LLMs and generative AI. This level of anthropomorphism makes the rest of the article look silly.

Also, I don’t think that’s how it works lol. Who’s to say that the LLM isn’t auto-completing what a list of banned words might look like, and why wouldn’t a list of banned words have a regex layer on top to prevent it from getting out like that.

This is helpful, and I hope these other platforms grow in popularity. However, my concern with kids is that they will desperately want to use the platforms that their friends are on and they will hold it against the parents (and alternative platforms) if they are forced to make do without the big tech ones.

I think addressing that will be helpful. What I would add:

• Talk about alternative front ends and teach kids about them. Its possible to access the big tech sites without the ads and tracking, and often its a much better experience. You could also explore other ways of using the platforms with limited permissions, such as by using the mobile browser instead of the app, and/or custom extensions that modify the platform (ex. uBlock origin removes ads). This way, kids can still see some of the content that their friends see (under parental supervision), and they can talk about it with them / participate in the group dynamic. They might even feel superior for knowing how to get around the problems that their friends complain about.
• Work with other parents to transition on to these other platforms. If the kid and their close friends are on the better platform, then all of the stuff above is a moot point :)

edit: by alternative front ends, I mean something like Redlib for Reddit: https://redlib.catsarch.com/r/aww/

There is a list here: https://github.com/mendel5/alternative-front-ends

I didn’t catch the previous post and gave it a quick skim now. My thoughts are more to do with how LLM based moderation is viewed by users.

It’s not a new thing, since sentiment analysis based moderation has been around for a long while. Where it becomes a problem is

• The sentiment analysis makes mistakes and it gets tedious to deal with platforms that use it for automated moderation. This is a big problem with old social media platforms like Reddit, or comment sections in places like Instagram/Facebook.
• It can be used as a flimsy excuse to take moderation actions when such actions aren’t necessary, which makes users trust that moderation team less

I also don’t agree with the privacy angle since all content here is public by nature, but I do see value in discussing these other problems since that’s what this community is for?

Also, while Rimu can defederate, letting people discuss it first is better. Best case scenario, the groups find some kind of compromise. Otherwise it lets people weigh in on the platform policies and federation status, instead of having admins make that call on their own

Nothing against Mbin, but how would it help with the AI moderation issue? From what I understand about the AI moderation, it was a group of mods that sent a user’s history into a model for analysis. That will still be possible with Mbin, and anywhere else
