Lying, dishonesty, and falsehood all imply motive/intent, which is not likely the case when referring to LLM hallucinations. Another term is "making a mistake," but this also reinforces the similarities between humans and LLM

Shameless plug, but some of the Nebula team (including myself) works on https://www.defined.net/ (proprietary managed Nebula networks.) Also, ZeroTier is "open-source ish." They use the BSL license for most of the

Does Mozilla sell your data, or did they remove language saying they won't? Do you really think Brave won't, when it comes time to pay the piper?

What makes Brave a better choice than Firefox? While it claims to be privacy-focused, it's developed by a VC-funded company, not a non-profit foundation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_(web_browser)#Controvers

Hijacking for a quick tip I'm not sure everyone is familiar with. On macOS, most know that Cmd + Tab will cycle through the open apps. Less well-known, Cmd + ` will cycle through windows within an app.

I saw one of these emails too. It was sent by an onmicrosoft.com server, linked to a phishing site, but passed SPF/DKIM/DMARC for Paypal. Microsoft obviously isn't "forging" it. It's valid: https://l

Thanks. I agree it's very easy to find information on how to operate a camera, and even easier to find reviews... but it's incredibly difficult to find good art/design resources online, through the noise. Personally, I had a

I think we're in agreement. > The actual software and code? Good luck getting that genie back in the bottle now. But, you can certainly hamstring it in other ways, and frankly, that should be good enough. This is my point - the tech

Huh? Biden won the popular vote in 2020 and Obama in both 2008 and 2012. The only outlier was 2016. (edit: thanks for the clarification.)
