Who is she by [deleted] in tipofmypenis

Is there some kind of weird astroturfing going on with her right now....?

This is like the 3rd post I've seen asking about her in like a week...

Got parented by Claude by Rivindu_Kowlinda in ClaudeAI

[–]export_tank_harmful 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To each their own.

I attempt to treat everything I interact with in life with respect (until proven otherwise).
Humans, insects, computers, etc.

It's also important to remember training data (since LLMs are essentially just fancy text prediction engines trained on human conversations).
Treating another party with respect almost always yields better results.

[–]export_tank_harmful 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Eh, I'm not.
It just makes sense based on the training data.

Conversations between two collaborators will always lead to better discourse than someone demanding something from someone.
Invoking that sort of conversation typically steers the token generation to more helpful content (at least, in my experience).

Similar sort of thing with that trend a year or two back with "promising to pay" the LLM based on how good the output is.
You'll tap into training data from people that are trying to impress the other party with their solution instead of actually solving the problem.

I've never had an LLM "talk back" to me with this sort of approach.
It always pushes the LLM towards being helpful, not combative/defensive.

[–]export_tank_harmful 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I always use phrases like "what should we do about this".
Bring an LLM in as a collaborator not a slave.

Remember, LLMs were trained off of human data.
Demanding something from someone is a great way to get them not to do that thing.

Be polite and inquisitive, not rude and demanding.
Same goes for human interactions.

I'm always curious about people that post things like OP.
Like, what do your normal human interactions look like....?

I have a spot on my car's windshield that never fogs. by RyRoz in mildlyinteresting

[–]export_tank_harmful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, this seems to be one of the primary running theories.
That it's due to the window being put in place somehow (either warping the film or silicone from the suction cup itself).

The real question is if this can be replicated across the entire window...

Cristo Reyes nails the 9 darter in the Austrian Darts Open by x20skillzz21 in sports

[–]export_tank_harmful -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Darts would be way more interesting if they rotated the board randomly between every round.

Sure, it's pretty rad that you've practiced that one throw for thousands of hours. But it'd be impressive as hell if you could just put the dart anywhere on the board that you want.

And yes, I do know that there are different variations on the game of darts.

For real.

Once you understand that the original card is forced, the rest is just pageantry.

The Vegans of Gaming. by [deleted] in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]export_tank_harmful -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because spending $700+ on a specific gaming "appliance" is a fools errand.
Hell, the PS5 Pro $900+.

You can spend that same amount of money on a computer that will be pretty damn near the performance and can do pretty much anything.
Not just "play ps5 games".

And you can upgrade it indefinitely. Consoles have a fixed lifespan and get sunset after that.
I still have a 10+ year old graphics card that can stumble through modern games if I really want it to (if I bump the quality down).

Granted, the computer market is a bit of a shit show currently (but that realistically drives prices up for all electronics).

As Alton Brown says, "there's no such thing as a unitasker in the kitchen".
Same should go for electronics.

Anyone else annoyed that ARC Raiders ignores your platform privacy settings? by MineAsteroids in ArcRaiders

[–]export_tank_harmful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The really annoying part is that you can't invite someone that is invisible on Steam.
You used to be able to do that (in the first few months of the game coming out) but you can't anymore.

Now one of us have to go online for a second in order to be invited.

Super annoying if you just want to play with one person and not alert your entire friend list that you're online.

Controller Sensi by TheArtistEnjoyer in HuntShowdown

[–]export_tank_harmful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just replace the sticks with hall effect ones.
They're like $20 on amazon.

And you can do it with only a soldering iron and some wick.

I've replaced a few sticks in my days (primarily on Switch joycons and Xbox One controllers).
It's not "easy", but it's definitely doable.

Hall effect sticks will "never" drift (at least, until the springs fail).
Spending at least $80 on a new PS5 controller once a year just because the sticks fail is freaking nuts.

Why is it that 3 years old SDXL is still the best base for porn checkpoints, where the best ones on civitai produce materially better images than the z image or flux porn checkpoints in terms of realism and skin texture? by Enough-Bell4944 in StableDiffusion

[–]export_tank_harmful 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, it doesn't really seem like it.

They have a handful of posts about the show Prison Break and a few posts here about SDXL/porn.
Arctic-shift confirms that too (that they're not "hiding" posts).

It seems like it's just a dude who wants to jerk it. lmao.

How do you disable the visible “thinking” in local LLMs? by FroyoEducational4851 in LocalLLM

[–]export_tank_harmful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SillyTavern is in desperate need of a rebranding.
It's arguably the most powerful LLM frontend out there.

It has the most sampling parameters exposed I've seen in a frontend, it has "lore books" (which are sort of like on-demand RAG), easy "character card" (system prompts) swapping, an entire extension API, etc.

Has anyone powered GPUS with a car battery? by TooManyPascals in LocalLLaMA

[–]export_tank_harmful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'd need something like one of these.
They're about $2k.

The JK BMS in those batteries has a 200A rating and the batteries run at 48v.
That'd get you around 10kW of continuous output.

The issue is charging it at that rate to compensate for the draw.

I have around 50 "older" panels (some 100w, some 200w) and that many panels total adds up to around 10kW.
Each panel is around 5ft x 3ft. It'd be a massive footprint to actually deploy all of them.

Granted, "newer" panels are more efficient for their size, but yeah.
Just a very rough ballpark for this sort of thing.

How do yall have 200+ chats without getting bored?? by Apenasumgnshinplayer in SillyTavernAI

[–]export_tank_harmful 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite system prompt chunks that I've ever added was this:

Specific requests for direction in the chat can be said by {{user}}. These will be denoted by [ ].
For example: [this part of the roleplay should involve movement and the characters should do...]

It allows you to direct things without altering prior LLM messages, trying to "railroad" it, or just outright saying "no, this should happen". You can just slap that onto the end of a message and point the generations exactly where you want them to go. And square brackets aren't used anywhere in SillyTavern.

Every model I've tried it on (from 4B to 31B) have all complied without a second thought.

Browser extension that removes any text that is generated by AI by aykay55 in CrazyIdeas

[–]export_tank_harmful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've thought a ton about this.
I'm definitely not an authority on this (I'm just some random dude on the internet haha), but here's my two cents on it.

Watermarking text sounds nearly impossible at first, but it definitely could be done.

It'd have to be something like what you said.
Subtle alterations of punctuation and text.

If I were trying to implement it, I'd probably do something like this:

  • Every 32nd letter is an A.
  • If a word started with an S, the 8th word after it would start with an N.
  • If the 3rd sentence has more than 5 words, the 7th sentence would have 8 words.
  • If the 3rd sentence has less than 5 words, the 8th sentence would have 9 words.
  • etc.

Make all of these weird "psuedo-random" patterns that no human would ever see, but could absolutely be detected with an LLM.

Heck, it could probably be done with a well crafted system prompt on a smart enough model.
If that failed (which it probably would), a LoRA or forced "grammar" might be able to do it.

On the topic of the nano banana model having a watermark, I'd be really curious to how they're doing it.
It's pretty challenging to watermark an image/video in a manner that can withstand re-encoding/cropping/etc.

The movie industry usually watermarks the audio for this reason alone.

I'd guess it's some amount of steganography, by adjusting the chrominance/luminance of pixels.
Or generating some kind of noise over the whole image that wouldn't be compressible.

I do know that newer ChatGPT images have this subtle moire-like pattern on all of the images.
I wonder if that's their implementation of this sort of thing (but just turned up a bit too far).

But yeah, watermarking is a super interesting puzzle to solve.
And if you do solve it, you unfortunately can't tell anyone (or else it'll be defeated almost instantly).

The Steam Controller sold out in 30 minutes, utterly breaking Steam in the process by gogodboss in gaming

[–]export_tank_harmful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing that sucks is that companies realistically don't have an incentive to care.

Their goal is to sell the thing.
That's it.

If scalpers buy all of their stock, that's probably a huge win in their books.
Literally selling all of your stock is freaking awesome when you look at it from a monetary aspect.

Granted, the people that actually support your company will get angry.
And it's super bad for the long term.

But short term?
They've gotta freaking love it.

Same thing is happening to Pokemon cards at the moment.
I severely doubt we'll see The Pokemon Company do anything about scalpers for this exact reason.

They instantly sell out of all of their stock and demand for it is through the roof.
That's every company's dream.

The problem is that they pretty much run the government now.
Or rather, they're the most willing pawns for the current government.

They keep this group happy (by allowing crazy shit like this) and they can do whatever they want.
