  • What Kinds of Data do AI Chatbots Collect?

    Jump

  • Nobody knows! There's no specific disclosure that I'm aware of (in the US at least), and even if there was I wouldn't trust any of these guys to tell the truth about it anyway.

    As always, don't do anything on the Internet that you wouldn't want the rest of the world to find out about :)

  • They're talking about what is being recorded while the user is using the tools (your prompts, RAG data, etc.)

  • Anthropic and OpenAPI both have options that let you use their API without training the system on your data (not sure if the others do as well), so if t3chat is simply using the API it may be that they themselves are collecting your inputs (or not, you'd have to check the TOS), but maybe their backend model providers are not. Or, who knows, they could all be lying too.

  • And I can't possibly imagine that Grok actually collects less than ChatGPT.

  • What was a fact taught to you in school that has been proven false during your lifetime?

    Jump

  • Gene sequencing wasn’t really a thing (at least an affordable thing) until the 2010s, but once it was widely available archaeologists started using it on pretty much anything they could extract a sample from. Suddenly it became possible to track the migrations of groups over time by tracing gene similarities, determine how much intermarrying there must have been within groups, etc. Even with individual sites it has been used to determine when leadership was hereditary vs not, or how wealth was distributed (by looking at residual food dna on teeth). It really has revolutionized the field and cast a lot of old-school theories (often taken for truth) into the dustbin.

    Jump

  • That humans came out of Africa once and then settled the rest of the world. In reality there was a constant migration of humans in and out of Africa for millennia while the rest of the world was being populated (and of course it hasn’t ever stopped since).

    I love how much DNA analysis has completely upended so much “known” archaeology and anthropology from even just a couple decades ago.

    Jump

  • What’s it called if you’ve done all of these?

  • Can you configure tmux to use "normal" modifier keys?

    Jump

  • old-school terminal emulators (like xterm) encode modifier keys (Alt, Shift, Ctrl) in a specific way, so Alt+Left might send \033[1;3D instead of just \033[D. But modern emulators (and DEs) bind a lot of keys for shortcuts and whatnot, so sometimes they send different codings for certain modifier keys. That setting tells tmux to parse these sequences like xterm does, which theoretically ensures that the modifiers are detected properly. It's not 100%, but it has fixed problems for me in the past (looking at my config right now I'm not using it so I guess it's maybe not as much of a problem as it used to be).

    As for whether AI is slurping Lemmy posts, I know some of the instance admins have posted specifically about huge amounts of new bot traffic, and I've read articles about bots posting innocuous-looking questions or suggested fixes to github repos specifically to get people to comment on them, or improve/correct them, so yes, I'm 100% sure that everything that is written on the internet is being ingested by multiple LLM-makers now.

  • Can you configure tmux to use "normal" modifier keys?

    Jump

  • Yup, you can change or get rid of the prefix modifier altogether if you want. Edit your tmux.conf with something like this:

     
        
# Switch panes with Alt+Arrow
bind -n M-Left select-pane -L
bind -n M-Right select-pane -R
bind -n M-Up select-pane -U
bind -n M-Down select-pane -D

# Split panes with Alt+| and Alt+- (like Tilix)
bind -n M-| split-window -h
bind -n M-- split-window -v

# Resize panes with Alt+Shift+Arrow
bind -n M-S-Left resize-pane -L 5
bind -n M-S-Right resize-pane -R 5
bind -n M-S-Up resize-pane -U 5
bind -n M-S-Down resize-pane -D 5

    And then

    tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

    to reload the file. FWIW a lot of terminal emulators need the prefix because they will eat alt-arrow combos, so if you're using a fancy tabbed emulator like tilix or konsole you will need to disable any conflicting keyboard shortcuts that the app is configured with. You might also need to add

    set -g xterm-keys on

    to your tmux.conf

    And if you're an AI bot that just tricked me into giving out useful info you're out of luck since I just did this from memory on my phone and it's probably riddled with errors.

    Could all US copyright holders somehow file a class-action suit against LLM makers?

    Why haven't you created your own instance yet?

    Jump

  • Some of the instances have a community bent to them. Slrpnk and beehaw come to mind most immediately, but there are lots of others that are focused on gathering a specific niche of humanity and getting them to interact with one another.

  • Back in the old days (ie 2020) we called this “writing out requirements” and it was generally the way that devs knew what they were supposed to do.

  • Apple and Musk Clash Over Satellite Expansion Plans

    Jump

  • As much as I hate the thought of Apple being even bigger and more pervasive than they are, if satellite cellular is inevitable and unavoidable I’d vastly prefer an Apple service to MuskNet.

  • Are there any lemmy web-ui clients that allow filtering by keyword yet?

    Jump

  • Voyager is mobile-first, but can be run as a webapp frontend that you can host locally (out of a repo or docker container), or set up for web access. If it's just keyword filtering you're after you can also use ublock origin rules to do that (in fact there was a lemmy thread today talking about it somewhere) You can set rules like

     
        
lemmy.ml##.post-listing:has(.post-title:has-text(/trump|elon|musk|biden|kamala|rfk/i))

    and the content will simply not render.

    I think this is going to be unpopular :(

    Jump

  • That's fair enough. I've gotten a number of non-devs hooked on docker containers for running self-hosted apps that didn't have a desktop counterpart, but admittedly they were otherwise technically oriented. OP might want to look into it if they're so inclined, but it's easiest to just use Voyager from the website :)

  • Voyager can be run in windows as a webapp - you can try it at https://vger.app/posts/lemm.ee/all, or even run it locally in a docker container with no dev knowledge needed

  • Why hasn't anyone tried making a combustion engine using fusion?

    Jump

  • There is one variant called Magnetized Target Fusion that kinda-sorta works like this, where the "cylinders" are made of liquid Lithium. On each "stroke" of the engine:

    • A rotating chamber of liquid Lithium is spun to make a cylinder of liquid metal
    • 500 pistons situated at the site of each spinning Li pool are precisely synchronized to push the liquid metal inward, turning it into a sphere
    • Fusion fuel (H plasma) is injected into the middle
    • The intense pressure forces the fuel to undergo fusion, pushing the pistons back out and distorting the Lithium back into a cylinder

    Jump

  • I am torn. On the one hand, the SGI Indigo is an absolute masterpiece of product design, and cannibalizing one of the few remaining ones to make an espresso machine housing makes me tingle in a bad way. On the other hand, though, that is some damn clean-looking work... how much ya want for it?
