Do women have more empathy? This thought just popped into my mind.

> the LLMs mostly used factual information to influence people

No, you see. This is how I used to think when I was a teenager.

Democracy isn't about being factually correct. It's about putting in place rules to make accumulation of power to the point that it can bend the rules themselves, very difficult.

It's not a silver lining that LLMs are persuasive by being mostly accurate, if they're used to increase the power of their owner further.


How do you explain that an ad agency gets a contract from macdonalds and goes cheap on it? Is it greed or is it stupidity?

Alright, I've changed it to Tell HN.

EDIT: Annnnnnd the description is lost.


> This is the exact policing we don't want government to do regardless of the age. In my opinion it's the responsibility of the parents to decide how to raise their children and teach them how to live and adapt in the age of social media and maintain a balance.

It's complicated. I can decide how to raise my child when he's inside the house. But if when he goes into the world he's sorrounded by people addicted to their phones, what do you think it's going to happen?


The same way parents of previous generations dealt with it. Whether it was phones, tv's, drugs, etc. Helicopter parenting is not the solution and not an effective method to produce well adjusted adults. You have to equip children with the tools to respond to different scenarios. Not prevent from ever knowing other things exist.

Absolute garbage.

A) Forbidding your children something does not equate to helicopter parenting. You're attacking someone else's position.

B) Forbidding your children something DOES WORK as long as that thing is not easily accessible. That's why we make certain things illegal to sell to children, so that their rate of usage is lower than otherwise.


Thank you for the thought you put into this. It's really frustrating when a speaker has an accent so strong it's unintelligible.

Is this run by the NL gov? I wish all govs would have something like this. Unfortunately gov are usually about 1 generation behind the state of the art in terms of understanding technology at any point in time.

Anyone wanna share some cool channels?

I was watching the rsync video and she mentions the scenario where you run rsync with the remote as source, and the remote drive isn't mounted correctly and you end up deleting local. LOL

My brother's got an instance for canadian urbanism and fediverse engineering: https://video.canadiancivil.com

Self-promotion, but the music I release here is totally free to use in your own projects. It's all CC0

I put up metaverse rendering tests on Hardlimit.

(It's discouraging having put in so much effort on trying to make the Metaverse work, and then having the entire sector die.)


I'm happy that it did. It was a trick to get people to spend more time online so that facebook can make even more money off people's time and attention.

Are these many users actually uploading their stuff there, or is this downloading from youtube and re-uploading?

I assume content creators are uploading their own content to their peertube channels.


I don't think they should be banned, I think they should be encouraged: I'm always appreciative when people who can't think for themselves openly identify themselves so that it costs me less effort to spot them.

Just adding one data point here. I've removed Syncthing from my phone.

My use case was replication of stuff I didn't want to lose, and I guess it's not worth it. I already have multiple machines with copies, not worth risking my phone over another copy.
