So a random person on Reddit claimed there’s about 800 million possible uk mobile numbers, some people have multiple numbers so ballpark 80 million active phone numbers. This gives around a 1:10 chance of picking an active number at random. If there’s actual patterns in the numbers this could be even more likely.

What’s interesting is this won’t have been a realistic sounding number.

Company lines typically start 0300 or 0800 but mobiles are 07… Something.

So if it was just hallucinating, it did so badly.

Because Tesla is a meme stock.

It’s price has always been completely decoupled from the number cars they sell, and depends on musk constantly lying and promising fully working humanoid robots and self driving taxis by next year.

What is a game that wouldn’t be solvable if you removed most of the pieces and positions?

I mean, yes. Any game with only a small number of possible moves can be solved with brute force trial and error.

All unsolved games must have a “sufficient amount of positions” that brute force isn’t an option, and enough complexity that there’s not a cute maths trick to solve it despite the number of moves.

Chess is one of these unsolved games.

They put that in vice city as a set of missions.

Ubuntu is deployed all over the place for data science.

I’m fairly sure this is because data scientists got used to running it on their personal machines and can’t be bothered to learn another distro.

I mean if everything is ephemeral and the users are anonymous and don’t log in, the federation wouldn’t actually do anything.

Yes, it’s completely unenforceable.

However, Ukraine depends on US aid and if they reject the deal they’ll have to keep fighting without it.

So they’re fucked either way.

Wasting other people’s time.

If you want to use an LLM that’s fine, but if you’re cutting and pasting it into a discussion you should warn other people that it’s not human generated.

And most of it isn’t wrong, it’s just a giant wall of text that’s largely irrelevant to the conversation.

As a heads up, the person you’re arguing with seems to be using an LLM to generate text.

I would down vote and move on. It’s not a real discussion.

Oh that’s good.

I’ve often wondered how could I make my instant messaging less instantaneous, while giving a new app access to my banking emails.

It’s been banned in Europe for 30 years. Can’t let cancer get in the way of profits.

I mean the fundamental problem is that humans are dicks and moderation is always needed. It should also be paid, and supported with counciling and recovery time when needed. Dealing with toxic content is a job.

Federation isn’t very good at this. The tech is great but everyone is a volunteer and there’s (afaik) no global ban hammer so trolls move from one instance to another. Bluesky currently has venture capital to pay for moderation teams, and centralized ban options.

I don’t know how long this can last without advertising revenue though.

Technically it died and was resurrected.

There was a bunch of weird rebadged Ubuntu derivatives back in the day.

Ubuntu satanic edition. https://archiveos.org/ubuntu-satanic/

Ubuntu Christian edition. https://archiveos.org/ubuntu-christian/

Hannah Montana Linux https://hannahmontana.sourceforge.net/

This probably isn’t a hallucination in the classic sense.

This is probably a near copy of a forum post where a user was channeling fight club and trying to be funny. The same as the putting glue on pizza thing.

And guardrails don’t work very well. They’re good at detection tone but much worse at detection content. So an appropriately guardrailed LLM will never call someone a “fucking ######” but it’ll keep telling everyone that segalis have an IQ of 40 until there’s such a PR backlash that an updated is needed.

And all the doom games.

That’s just what they want you to think.
