That, or the model writing it already had "You are an AI model instance" sitting at the beginning of its context ready to pull from. Telling it it's an AI pushes it to make text about AI.

A terminal UI is the best thing we pipe through SSH because it's the tool we built specifically for piping a terminal UI. Abandoning Xorg has admittedly made streaming a GUI over SSH less simple, but still not impossible, and you can f

Is anyone willing to sacrifice their sanity for the sake of implementing a QR renderer as TTF hinting code?

What were the internal politics at Microsoft at the time that resulted in the .NET branding being pushed more aggressively than Copilot today, everywhere from the login screen to file associations?

Not really, that is essentially the experience I've always had installing different distros from a live USB; it's mostly just seamless if you're not doing anything weird.

I used to play with the free iZotope Vinyl VST, it does a decent job at emulating pop/hiss, wow/flutter, and frequency response. For ham radio-like sounds, maybe use SDR software like SDR++ and just pipe in a regular audio input,

I think this is just an LLM doing not X but Y, as it did repeatedly in this post. Look at the author's history.

These are systems completely designed to prey on vulnerable people, addicts who can't control their impulse to gamble. That's their purpose. I think it's worth regulating intentionally predatory and harmful industries.

The default mail app on Windows is now called Outlook for Windows, no relation to the Outlook in Office (sorry, Microsoft 365 Copilot), and it's a significantly worse barely functional webview. It also replaced the entire Calendar app,

A fun thing to do is convince a model to fluidly switch between character sets to express ideas as 'efficiently' as possible. It likes to use Chinese hanzi a lot for abstract concepts. I've also seen Gemini use them unprompte
