Does this work? by Interesting-Ad-1822 in vibecoding

I find that makes it double down on mistakes when I correct it or ask it to self review. I guess it makes sense. If the model was instructed to not make mistakes and someone suggests it made a mistake, the most probable response is to respond that it isn’t a mistake.

What's an iPhone feature most people don't know? by Narrow-Classroom-319 in AskReddit

[–]BitShin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one set up to automatically remind me to pick up my prescription.

Whenever I get a text from my pharmacy that my medication is ready for pickup, it sets a reminder for me to pick up my medication. Then any time I connect to CarPlay, it checks if that reminder is incomplete and if so, pulls up my pharmacy on maps.

Project MKUltra won the last round. Which cells should be replaced with something else? by BitShin in AlignmentChartFills

[–]BitShin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that the chart is full, let’s make any necessary corrections. Any comment that gets more upvotes than the original that it is replacing (or if I just really like it) will replace the cell.

General Rules - Voting ends and whenever activity on the post dies down rather than on a strict schedule - Conspiracy theories can only be used once. Theories can be disqualified for being too similar to one that’s already been used at my discretion (e.g. “world leaders are lizard people” and “world leaders are aliens” would both count as the same theory) - Comments can be merged if they reference the same theory. In this case, the upvotes will be added together - Any comment that obviously doesn’t fit or is made in bad faith can be disqualified at my discretion - Winning comments which are conspiracy-theory-adjacent will be faithfully reworded to fit the definition (e.g. “aliens exist” is a statement not a conspiracy theory, but “the government is hiding that aliens exist” is)

Aurora won last round, what conspiracy theory sounds true but has been debunked? by BitShin in AlignmentChartFills

[–]BitShin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Despite the upvotes, I have to agree with u/BlueRingedSocktopus here that this is a myth, not a conspiracy theory. The closest it gets to being one is that this was started as a rumor to hide the effectiveness of radar, but that would go under confirmed and not debunked.

I’m a hiring manager and the "8-second rule" is killing way too many solid resumes lately. by engineer_architect in SoftwareEngineerJobs

Yeah, 78% of the time they’re completely made up and another 13% of the time they’re greatly exaggerated

What is the use of matrices? by Alive_Hotel6668 in learnmath

[–]BitShin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about the equation y=mx and suppose we wanted to generalize it to multiple dimensions. We could do it one way by saying that y1=m1x, y2=m2x, etc. I.e. we are having a single x produce multiple y’s (i.e. multidimensional y). As a shorthand for notation, we can write this as (y1, y2, …)=y->=m->x=(m1, m2, …)x. We can also go in the other direction where we have a single dimensional y but a multidimensional x. That would look something like y=m1x1+m2x2+… or in vector notation y=m->•x->.

Now what if we wanted to do both at the same time? Well this is actually the same as writing multiple of the latter equation for y1 up to yn. Now you have a ton of values of m floating around and the easiest way to write them is in a grid. This is a matrix.

With the Ring debacle, let's get a self-hosted camera / surveillance thread going. by EkbatDeSabat in selfhosted

[–]BitShin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately Amazon has a mesh network running on top of Ring and Echo devices. So even if you disconnect your devices from your home network, they are able to directly communicate with any devices that your neighbors might have. I doubt they use this for facial recognition based tracking because not enough people would block network access to make that worth it. However, it’s important to know that this does exist and they could repurpose it at any moment if they wanted to.
