As long as your bullet points+prompt are shorter than the output, couldn't you post that instead? The only time I think an LLM might be ethically acceptable for something a human has to read is if you ask it to make it shorter.

I write the full article in my Czenglish (English influenced by Czech sentence structure). Then I let it rewrite it in proper English.

So it's me doing the writing and GPT making it sound more English.

Nah, I'm pretty sure we invented it. Otherwise I'm not sure what costs all these companies so much money.

Granted, I only managed to read two and half paragraphs before deciding it's not worth my time, but the argument that we didn't teach it irony is bullshit: we did exactly that by feeding it text with irony.

"It's not just X, it's Y"

I find it really hard to read articles that use AI slop aphorisms. Please use your own words, it matters.

What if I no good in English?

Jokes aside, my English is passable and I'm fine with it when writing comments but I'm very aware that some of it doesn't sound native due to me, well, not being native speaker.

I use AI to make it sound more fluent when writing for my blog.

I wish one day to be so brave to let a tool I clearly don't understand* ssh to a production server with root access**.

* calling it a god-level programmer kinda gave it away they have no idea what's actually going on

** to restart docker containers you either have to be root or part of the docker group which effectively gives you root privileges

I would love to feel sorry, but seems you’re technically capable of preventing this (unlike most people), just chose “convenience.”

Well, this is the downside of “convenience.”

If you manage to recover your belongings, I hope you stop preaching around how living in a normal apartment in society is good and everyone should accept the risk of home invasion instead of living in an underground bunker with biometric access controls and armed security.

Rikudou · 12 days ago
So, you think there's either an unsecured apartment or a bunker, huh?

How about: you live in that apartment (your Apple ID), but keep your important stuff somewhere else?

Or do you simply have all your money as cash at home?

I'm not the biggest advocate of the EU DMA, but account and device access is one item we should actually be regulating very heavily, where potential penalties for (suspected) abuse or incompliance must be much more granular than full-on account bans.

It's hard to believe EU governments are actually considering mandating iOS and Android as gateways to access government services. It's a level of ignorance that's unfathomable.

This story is also exactly why I invest precious time running a Linux machine in the basement that rclones my cloud drives locally, as well as having full local copies of my webmail contents.

The broken logic is that it will expose why the account was flagged, and thus, allow 'bad actors' to better navigate and bypass such flags.

Of course, this is absolutely silly and beyond absurd, for bad actors share information of forums, can deduce fairly easily, and even have help from people on staff.

Such actors typically know about detection and flagging methods within days of implementation. There's literally zero benefit to secrecy. None. Security through obscurity can be a beneficial additional layer, but it simply never helps here.

We really should pass a law requiring full disclosure of the precise method of banning. I can even see a 'trial' period, where accounts activated (and used!) for 3 months receive this benefit, but new accounts, or new + dormant accounts do not.

This should likely be coupled with mandated full refunds of phones or computers, as an example.

Note that this isn't a 'free' account we're talking about here. An Apple account, or a Google account is required to use an iphone or pixel in its default config, and all the features it entails. These accounts aren't free, they're part of purchase cost, and core-required.

(Even if it's a, for example, Samsung phone? It comes pre-installed, with uninstallable Google Play cruft, as part of an agreement with Samsung. Same conditions need apply here)

You can use an Android phone without a Google account.

Wow. This is a cautionary tale. I don't think I'd be as devastated as this poor chap, but as it grew I realize I've allowed my iCloud photo library to become a single copy.

How are people handling this these days? If i wanted to ensure a full backup of everything on my iCloud to a NAS, what's the best way these days? Seems like they make it difficult by design..

Not an iCloud user, but I use Immich on my NAS.

I thought the recent error proposal was quite interesting even if it didn't go through: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/71528

My hope is they will see these repeated pain points and find something that fits the error/result/enum issues people have. (Generics will be harder, I think)

Rikudou · 20 days ago
Didn't they say they're not accepting any new proposals for error handling?

I kinda got used to it eventually, but I'll never ever consider not having enums a good thing.
