Isn't some of Gemini's functionality on Android on-device?

One nice thing about LittleSnitch on linux is that it comes with a web UI by default. Is there anything like that for headless systems using OpenSnitch?

I get the appeal; the Little Snitch UI is undeniably shiny. But for the headless Linux nodes in my Proxmox setup, I’ve never really felt the need for a proprietary dashboard just to see my network state. I’d much rather export my logs to something like Grafana or just check my AdGuard dashboard at the edge. It feels more "Linux" to keep the tools transparent and open than to invite a mystery binary onto my system just for the sake of a pretty graph.

No, they really aren't. But I wouldn't put it past "trad" types.

> No. LLMs do not confabulate they bullshit. There is a big difference. AIs do not care, cannot care, have not capacity to care about the output. String tokens in, string tokes out. Even if they have all the data perfectly recorded they will still fail to use it for a coherent output.

Isn't "caring" a necessary pre-requisite for bullshitting? One either bullshits because they care, or don't care, about the context.


They're presumably referring to the Harry Frankfurt definition of bullshit: "speech intended to persuade without regard for truth. The liar cares about the truth and attempts to hide it; the bullshitter doesn't care whether what they say is true or false."

The bullshitter does have an objective in mind however. There is some ultimate purpose to his bullshitting. LLMs don't even have that. They just spew words.

Thought of the same book when reading the above.

More likely: the local news reporter doesn't know the difference, or didn't think there was a difference.

I'm sure they do, yet the models really are getting scarily good at this. This talk changed my view on where we're actually at:

This is all downstream of the backlash against social media and AI, and it's attacking the symptom rather than treating it IMO. You don't need to abandon digital tools entirely, you need to control how they're used in the classroom.

Not every kid can learn concepts just by having them explained verbally or with simple, inanimate diagrams. Desmos etc were incredibly valuable for unlocking certain concepts.

Also, you can't ctrl+f a textbook. Sure, you might find what you're looking for in an appendix or ToC.


> Only if you are asking surface level questions.

I find it pretty accurate well beyond that level. How much of that is actually a problem in K-12 education?


Okay. There are other criticisms of datacenter buildout that make this kind of product valuable. Moving on.


I am more sympathetic to the OG.

There are many good criticisms against data center. And yet, the water issue always comes up first. Must we spew false/untruthhood just so our political message is catchy? I suppose yes - in times of war/politics, the laws/truths are silent. But it doesn't have to be so here.


> the water issue always comes up first

I've never had it come up first. Neat how 2 people can have 2 opposite experiences based on their different life paths.

Anyways: Between our 2 opposite experiences, it might as well be totally random, so I don't think the ordering of concerns is that important. Better to focus on substance, like the concerns themselves.


Remember when that was considered an actual issue in 2016? I remember congressional hearings over this.


For those who decried Hillary's E-Mail server but fail to apply the same standards to the current administration, it was never a real issue to begin with. Just performative nonsense.
