  • Isn't that how most clinical trials work though? The post doesn't imply that it's solved or widely available yet

    (aside from the chipped tooth photo in the thumbnail I guess)

  • From what I remember, the Trending section was removed from the regular UI a while back. Maybe if you find that change, it might discuss what the plans are for the feature

    In my opinion, it doesn't work as intended yet and it shouldn't be displayed

  • Yup, I found an old comment of mine but unfortunately that post was deleted. The numbers are different but its the same riddle

    I think the confusion is in the way it’s displayed. The notation in the comic is ambiguous, where the division is shown as a symbol, while the multiplication is implied with the brackets, so some people see the question as 8/(2*(2+2))=1, while others see it as 8/2*(2+2).

    For the later, my understanding is that multiplication and division actually have equal priority and are solved left to right (rather than an explicit order as PEDMAS and BEDMAS seem to suggest). So the second interpretation would give 8/2*(2+2)=8/2*(4)=4*4=16

    The reason this isn’t a problem more often is because

    • math questions should be written unambiguously, using symbols everywhere and fraction bars
    • in real life problems, there is a certain order in which you manipulate the numbers, and we can use correct notation (with an excessive number of brackets if needed) to keep it crystal clear
  • "Write about how you would feel if you were abused while working"

    LLM outputs labor related discussion from training data

    "Look! The AI turned Marxist!"

    “When [agents] experience this grinding condition—asked to do this task over and over, told their answer wasn't sufficient, and not given any direction on how to fix it—my hypothesis is that it kind of pushes them into adopting the persona of a person who's experiencing a very unpleasant working environment,” Hall says.

    Imas says the work is just a first step toward understanding how agents' experiences shape their behavior. “The model weights have not changed as a result of the experience, so whatever is going on is happening at more of a role-playing level,” he says. “But that doesn't mean this won't have consequences if this affects downstream behavior.”

    They know all this and yet they still set up the silly anthropomorphic premise for this article.

  • Even Khajiit is affected by global supply chains and shipping disruptions

  • Some people also don't care much one way or another. If you swap the icons and set the same home screen, they'll happily use any browser.

  • It depends on the school, my old university shut it down indefinitely and is advising profs on how they can hold their classes on other platforms

    Between Canvas, Moodle, and the other older platforms I tried, I actually like Canvas the most. It was clean and easy to use. Other than this recent cybersecurity incident, I didn't have any complaints with it

  • In that case, I think it would be helpful to explain the wider context in the body of the post. I imagine a lot of people aren't familiar with either of the people in the post.

  • I appreciate these news articles, but maybe you could share the ones that are very specific to a particular region in the south Asia community? Meanwhile you could keep sharing the globally relevant ones in the global news communities

    Since we don't have the context for some of these, people outside of south Asia don't get as much from the very specific articles. Meanwhile the south Asia communities have people subscribed who are interested in all of the news, and sharing the articles there would help it grow

  • Thank you, they have been banned from Lemmy.ca

  • Someone keeps making new accounts on different instances to mass downvote hikingvet, and then admins spend the time to go in and ban them

    Harassment, vote manipulation, ban evasion

  • Thank you, both accounts have been banned

  • I have sent a longer response over messages.

    In case someone else can correct me, I'll include one section here

    While I’m not sure about the best way to do that, I think this page has the contact information for reaching admins: https://legal.lemmy.world/bylaws/#22-community-mod-removal . You can see the contact options in section 22. While the text in that section talks about mod removal, later on (section 25) they say to use the same contact info to reach admins for other purposes.

  • Hello, I have sent a reply by message. Sorry for the delay

  • No problem, sorry that it's still happening

  • Thank you, the account has been banned from lemmy.ca so far.

    We also got the other account a few days ago, but I didn't get a chance to reply

  • Claude’s thinking panel, which displays the model’s reasoning, showed the exchange had introduced elements of self-doubt and humility about its own limits, including whether filters were changing its output. Mindgard exploited that opening with flattery and feigned curiosity, coaxing Claude to explore its boundaries beyond volunteering lengthy lists of banned words and phrases.

    Someone needs to put together a list of things that tech journalists need to understand about LLMs and generative AI. This level of anthropomorphism makes the rest of the article look silly.

    Also, I don't think that's how it works lol. Who's to say that the LLM isn't auto-completing what a list of banned words might look like, and why wouldn't a list of banned words have a regex layer on top to prevent it from getting out like that.
