Cats, whine about not being let out, whine about not being allowed to stay in, rub against your leg when you're telling them off, uncooperative, mildly annoying, never have a useful answer... Oh wait, no, that's me.

I think I need a bot to go back through all my posts and edit them to add

Seems to me...

When an LLM is 'right' it has no more comprehension of its rightness than it does its wrongness when it is 'wrong'. In both cases it is showing patterns of words that match the 'right' pattern of words.

In many cases this will result in the right words, especially when its base training data has that pattern component impressed many many times. When the pattern is less common then it still outputs a 'correct' pattern just one that gives the wrong words/image/sound/etc.

Less than six months have passed :bongoCat: . I received XX messages from the UBUNTU community asking for Arizona night wallpaper, I remember and hope I can share it with you soon :badabing:

Es ist noch nicht einmal ein halbes Jahr vergangen :bongoCat: . Ich habe XX Nachrichten von der UBUNTU-Community erhalten, in denen ich um ein Hintergrundbild mit Arizona bei Nacht gebeten wurde. Ich erinnere mich! hoffe, dies bald mit Ihnen teilen zu können:badabing:

@Thorn @jeffowski @actuallyautistic It's not a native program. It's a proprietary third-party app running in Wine.

That's why it mostly "works"... but there are some quirks where it doesn't look or act quite as expected, differing a bit based on each person's custom-compiled patched fork of Wine.

Sometimes it even takes more resources than expected, causing the CPU to throttle, IO to stall (making language processing and memory access problematic), and audio/visual inputs to glitch.

@jeffowski @actuallyautistic I totally hear you. I approach small talk conversations with strangers by giving myself instructions in my head about what would be expected of me. Things like: this person just told me something funny about their dog, now you should have an amused reaction, then you should ask a clarifying question. Then you should say something funny about your own dog too, etc.
It's exhausting, but it's the only way of managing 'normal' interactions.

@clusterfcku @arstechnica Also, the 224 partners Ars has is why I have to bear ad (read snoop) protection every single time I go anywhere near their or any other large establishment.

Cookie permission dialog from Ars Technica showing 224 companies interested in what I'm looking at right now so they (the 224) can try and scam their way into me making bad decisions that benefit them or sell that data to other companies for them to scam their way in.

I don't want to be repetative or anything but I want to say again how grateful I am for alt text on posts about protests. By Including me as a Blind person, and others who benefit from alt text, you're resisting the dark side and its agenda.

@futzle Love Moritz, I have a playlist called "Make a synth" which is mostly their videos.

Another channel I came across recently in a similar vein (was less than a thousand subscribers two month ago, now 12k) is Something Physical.

​​I'd have conversations with people but when they say "w'a'sup", replying "setting up jackd cos mixxx can't see my usb soundcard due to some udev permissions prob, so I'm hot wiring mixxx to obs..." which feels perfectly natural to me...

​​...tends to elucidate a wtf face shortly after.

@kkarhan Many thanks for the heads up on that possibility with Borderlands. I always appreciate such commentary in gaps in my knowledge.

I have no personal experience with the franchise. I just have some friends that have enjoyed it.

@kkarhan Do you mean Steam or Borderlands specifically?

I have no experience with Borderlands.

As far as Steam, yeah it has DRM but it's one of the least obnoxious I've come across in terms of impact to the user (I can still copy my Steam Doom3 files over to play in RBDoom3BFG on Linux) and I have spent 3 months completely offline with Steam previously.

@streetartutopia As an occasional photographer of street art myself always happy to have a curated feed of such imagery pop up in my day on occasion.

Hey, folks who understand alt text and limited vision accessibility:

I have need to write alt text for the diagram below. The alt text needs to be comprehensible to somebody who is encountering this kind of diagram for the ••very first time••. I could describe the images using the relevant jargon, but that would only serve people who already know the thing this activity is teaching them!

Any suggestions for how I could write good alt text for something like this? Is it possible? (The horizontal black bars are minus signs, i.e. subtraction. This is clear from context in the text, but probably not clear in the image.)

PLEASE NOTE: I am looking for people with ••relevant accessibility expertise••, not just random best shots from people who (like me) don’t really know much about this kind of problem.

A diagram showing three arithmetic expressions as tree, which I am struggling to describe in this alt text.
