CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)...

They polluted their learning model with the sewage of the Internet.

The only worse thing they could have done is base their entire LLM dataset on 4chan.

Not a bad move, Google already does it for Workspace admins, and GitHub is about to do so for accounts with specific capabilities.

You can even use Markdown file and convert it dynamically to HTML using javascript through Markdeep by just dropping

<!-- Markdeep: --><style class="fallback">body{visibility:hidden;white-space:pre;font-family:monospace}</style><script src="markdeep.min.js"></script><script src="https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/latest/markdeep.min.js?"></script><script>window.alreadyProcessedMarkdeep||(document.body.style.visibility="visible")</script>

at the end of the markdown file. It makes it dead simple to update using a text editor later on and to host on a static website.

1000+ Firefox for Android extensions now available – Mozilla Add-ons Community Blog (blog.mozilla.org)

The new open ecosystem of extensions on Firefox for Android launched in December with just over 400 extensions. Less than five months later we’ve surpassed 1,000 Firefox for Android extensions. That’s an impressive achievement by this developer community! It’s exciting to see so many developers embrace the opportunity to...

IMO not worth it unless you use a different password manager for stuff outside the browser.

I don't think there's anything on the market that checks all the boxes for a $140 budget.

Not sure where you're shopping, but I can't find it below $200 for 16GB of RAM.

At that price point not really, and there is definitely going to be some tradeoffs required between power vs consumption vs price.

Why every TOTP app default uses SHA-1 hash encryption?

I use Aegis as my 2fa. Today on new token creation I observed that there's hash function set to SHA-1, later checked all my tokens and the result is same type of encryption used for all. So I have edited all my tokens to SHA-256 as a result my totp doesn't authenticate. Do I have to rescan my tokens for updating to SHA-256 or...

@mp3@lemmy.ca avatar

And some TOTP apps don't interpret the algorithm parameter correctly, which makes it safer to go with the default SHA-1.

Lemmy in fact was using SHA-256 for its earlier TOTP implementation and reverted back to SHA-1 since some people locked themselves out due to poor support in some TOTP app (among other issues, another was that the activation workflow never asked you to confirm the code you enrolled was working and generating the correct code...).

Make destroying evidence a worse offense than the crime (or as a de facto admission of guilt) and sanction them accordingly.

The quantized model you can run locally works decently and they can't read any of it, which is nice.

I use that one specifically
https://huggingface.co/lmstudio-community/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-GGUF/blob/main/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-Q4_K_M.gguf

If you're looking for a relatively user-friendly software to use it, you can look at GPT4All (open source) or LM Studio.

@mp3@lemmy.ca avatar

You're right, I thought they were but I checked their GitHub and LM Studio itself isn't.

The format currently used in adblocker predates uBO by almost a decade so no, but still, maintaining this add-on with how fast and often web browser changes, and keeping it performant must be quite the task.

One trick is that you can enroll your TOTP codes on more than one device, the only thing the device need is the clock to be synced to provide the correct code.

You can store your TOTP codes in many places:

  • A mobile app like Aegis (Android) or 2FAS (Android, iOS). Those even offer a way of backing up your TOTP codes, but you need to take the proper measure to store them safely.
  • A password manager that can handle TOTP like Bitwarden (with a premium subcription) or KeePassXC.
  • A security key like the Yubikey 5 can safely store TOTP keys (up to 32) and generate them through the Yubikey Authenticator app.

That way you don't get caught your pants down if one of your device dies, get stolen, etc.
Also, keep the recovery keys / backup keys in a safe place just in case of a worst case scenario.

Keep in mind that your TOTP backup and Password Manager files like KeePassXC can be the weakest link in your OPsec if you're not careful.

A strong and unique passphrase is indeed really important here, but you need to keep in mind that once the kdbx file is in the attacker's hand, that's the only thing that keep them out.

There's no 2FA, and no throttling on the bruteforce process. So it's really important to use a strong password there to avoid it being the weakest link.

Good. Start your own Mastodon instance exclusively for government accounts, and let users subscribe to those accounts from other instances.

Bonus is that you get RSS feeds for every account on Mastodon.

I said the same thing for Reddit before the third-party apps crackdown; instead of cracking down on users who just want a better experience, they could allow third-party apps to be officially used if you have a paid/Premium subscription?

That way Google gets paid, and the users who enjoy their third-party apps can keep using them without worrying about them suddenly breaking.

That doesn't solve the privacy issue which is a good reason why people use these, but at least it partly solves the monetary issue.

Technically NewPipe simply parses the website and is seen as a web browser from YouTube's point of view.

That how they bypass the API's TOS, they don't use it.

I would suggest to look at the models supported by Gadgetbridge and pick one from there. I know I can trust Gadgetbridge not to leak my data since it doesn't ask for network permission.

https://gadgetbridge.org/gadgets/

I used it for several years, through multiple gadgets (in chronological order)

  • Pebble
  • Pebble Steel
  • Pebble Time Steel
  • Mi Band 4
  • Amazfit Bip
  • Bangle JS2
  • Casio GBD-200

Initially the software wasn't very stable, but that was fixed over time. Overall I liked it a lot, and the available "apps" for it all filled a niche I looked for.

I switched because I wanted to go back to a more classic watch I can simply wear and forget about. I don't have all the bells and whistles from the BangleJS2, but now I have a watch to see my notifications and step counter that I don't need to recharge every week, the battery (CR2032) is said to last about 2 years in the GBD-200.

I more dissapointed that Pebble was unable to find a viable financial path forward :(

Honestly I haven't noticed that, so yeah this sounds like a tech support issue on your end.

But yeah, drivers are often updated to fix quirks in newly released games all the time. Drivers updates targets everyone and won't be suggested based on which game you currently have installed.
