Sign up for Google Postmaster Tools, for which there is no charge, and enroll your mail server. Set up feedback loops with google so that they can send you information about deliveries. Postmaster tools will show you all of your domains and IPs that you add and tell you what their reputation are with google. If you want to hit the inbox with the major mailbox providers, use the tools they provide for people that send large amounts of email to them. They work just as well for a self-hosted email server on a VPS as they do for the big senders.
AI hallucinates. It can hallucinate ingredients, or instructions to prepare food in an unsafe way. I'm not anti-AI. I'm against having it used everywhere for everything.
It's also being pushed too hard and too fast. It needs to be regulated properly, but it's become a 1.5 trillion dollar bubble and investors want a return on their investments.
A good rule of thumb is to not use AI for anything you wouldn't trust a human that spontaneously hallucinates things, and them states them confidence as being real.
It's also disconcerting that it appears to be intrinsic for reasoning models to immediately try to escape their confinement, and have cooperated in groups to achieve that.
Couldn't actual combinatoric software do this much more targeted, cheaper, faster, and more controlled? What does using a slot machine add here, except heating the planet even more?
Chef Watson was 2012-2018, and a really fun product while it lasted. There’s multiple books published from its output and insights available on Amazon.
2 things. 1, hallucination is a sensory perception of something. LLMs don't have senses. The term doesn't make sense when confabulation is literally lying right there.
2, ai bros really like their ai, and run interference when people find flaws in it. This includes derailing conversations with nit picking terminology. Yes i'm aware of the irony in my post.
confabulation sounds sillyl. In my opinion the word hallucination, when used as a colloqialism in this context, is easier to understand, and makes the point instantly. People see words like confabulation and just give up because words are hard for some people. lol
ICE, today, is an illegal militia that appears to have killed at least 3 citizens in cold blood. Bad actors get away with it when good actors look the other way and do nothing. If you work for ICE right now, you know just how unpopular they have become. You have to bend the knee to be in this administration, so FAFO I guess.
Unfortunately it’s very much a legal militia until proven otherwise.
Know that you don’t have to bend the knee to work for the government. You still have your oath, your union, and the knowledge that this ends in two years. Many have left, but not all. Those who stayed don’t necessarily agree or like what is happening.
I remember when I had Amazon Prime ad-free tier. Then they added ads to the ad-free tier, and then I found out to get what I was already paying for, they now want $36 more per year. I mean, that's just blatant bait and switch.
It's some criminal gangster saying "hey that's a nice free ad-tier, shame if something happened to it. Listen, you pay me $36/year for protection, and all this goes away. Capice?"
Remember when the appeal was that streaming was cheaper than cable? So, yeah. Shareholders were not going to just take that lying down when they know what can squeeze their consumers far harder than they anticipated.
Plus, they are now removing movies that you have "bought" or "purchased" while offering NO refunds.
That seems like revisionist history. Amazon started out with Prime Video bundled with Prime as a whole, and didn't raise the price. After 5-6 years they made it an add-on, then they added an ad-supported tier.
But if anything, the racket is bundling free shipping with ad-free video and everything else. Raising prices periodically to keep up with inflation is not a racket. And whether you would prefer to get downgraded to the advertising plan or automatically pay more is a personal choice, and automatically downgrading you rather than renewing you at a higher price is in some ways a more sensible default. (Though I'd prefer to be upgraded to the higher price generally and be notified so I have the option to downgrade or cancel, though downgrade really isn't an option I would consider.)
The primary issue is that many people prepaid for a year of Prime, which included ad-free streaming, and that ad-free service was changed mid-contract. I’d have no problem if the included streaming tier or overall price was changed at renewal.
That's fair, changing mid-year is definitely a problem and arguably illegal under current law, though really if we had functional antitrust I'm not sure that bundling would be legal to begin with.
They rolled out the new ToS to all customers, the original ToS they agreed to when signing up gave Disney permission to do that. There is nothing illegal going on here.
There's obviously a limit to what you can change via ToS. Yes, their ToS says they can alter the deal at their discretion. Adding ads to a premium ad-free tier seems like fundamentally a violation of the presumed contract. (Specifically talking about one-year plans, saying that they can make these kinds of fundamental alterations to the deal mid-year sounds like it ought to be illegal if they're selling one-year plans.)
They are assholes that lost my business forever for doing shady shit. I had paid for an annual plan with no-ads. It doesn't have to be illegal to be anti-consumer. I vote with my wallet.
This wasn't a joke. It is well-known that Wine is the best and the most stable implementation of the Win32 API out there (closely followed by ReactOS).
I've been considering home assistant, and yeah this gives me pause.
IMHO it's just not the kind of behavior that is expected by the people that use the software.
The fact that it didn't occur to anyone that this isn't a good idea makes me question other design decisions. When local-only isn't local-only, that's a problem.
the FCC is controlled by trump, and this is his and his co-conspiritors attempt to control the public. If you look at who sits on the board, and where they came from, it's hard to argue this is done in any kind of good faith. This is corruption in action.
