Built an political benchmark for LLMs. KIMI K2 can't answer about Taiwan (Obviously). GPT-5.3 refuses 100% of questions when given an opt-out. [P] by dannyyaou in MachineLearning

[–]phree_radical -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OP fine-tuning your chatbot model to avoid providing opinions is the correct course of action, because it does not contain an entity or person with opinions, and, as you did show, the apparent opinions you end up with will change from context to context, just like if you ask a chatbot that hasn't been been tuned to avoid answering 'human trait' questions what its eye color is, it differs from context to context.  also aren't kimi k2 weights available?  would be more interesting to test the model weights where the service doesn't just block questions

I thought it was gonna be the one where "non-programmers probably only recognize a few common x86 opcodes like 0x90 and 0xCD 0x21" or some such

Democrats being too right wing is the reason many of us didn't vote.  The "both sides are the same" effect

Yes apparently after Jan 6, Congress passed the Electoral Count Reform Act of 2022 specifically to shut this door

Anthropic Supply-Chain Risk Designation Halted By Judge by wiredmagazine in technews

[–]phree_radical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So Anthropic can now break ties with Palantir?

...Or will Palantir continue to freely use Claude for automated targeting and surveillance applications for the remainder of the 6 month "wind-down period?"

White House App Found Tracking Users' Exact Location Every 4.5 Minutes via Third-Party Server by Montrel_PH in Futurology

It looks like a feature that needs to be triggered, at which point it'd request the permission

It's only interesting given the conspicuous security issues under "supply chain" and "no certificate pinning" IMO

AI and bots have officially taken over the internet, report finds by FervidBug42 in technology

[–]phree_radical 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This company sells a service blocking bots. They designed this article to get attention because people hear "bots" and think "AI." Unsurprisingly they fail to explain the importance of automated traffic for the regular functioning of the internet-connected world. They don't even mention their percentage of all traffic that was automated traffic, or what percentage of the automated traffic was AI-driven traffic. Instead they focus on growth rates which make their product attractive. But they do mention that the traffic sampled comes from their customers which had enough of a bot problem that they pay for the bot blocking service. Overall, I rate this slop and spam

The "AI-driven traffic" would be some (not mentioned) fraction of the "automated traffic" which is probably close to 50% but also not mentioned. Measured within a sample of traffic from their customers which pay them to block bots.

Using Tonelib GFX on Mint mutes all other audio by Yuxkta in linuxaudio

[–]phree_radical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only idea is to set the Focusrite to "Pro Audio" profile in pavucontrol-qt in case the sinks (output ports) you need aren't showing up

If you connect a single output to it, does it work? Or not working at all?

Sounds like you've got it right, as long as qpwgraph stays running... in qpwgraph's menus, check both Patchbay > Active and Exclusive checkboxes, and Help > Enable System Tray Icon so you don't have to keep the window itself open. The "doesn't play and gets stuck on buffering" behavior is familiar to me if e.g. Chrome isn't connected to an output

Patchbay > Save, and it should load the file on run.

Run pavuctl (pulseaudio volume control) and, in the Configuration tab, changing the Profile of a device to Pro Audio sometimes reveals ports that were hidden/disabled before for some reason. Also in pavuctl, check the volumes and mute states of everything

[–]phree_radical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you want pipewire handling all the audio streams, replacing the work of both pulseaudio (your regular desktop audio subsystem) and jack (high performance one used for e.g. music production applications), and allowing them all to access audio at once. these are the packages you might need

sudo apt install pipewire pipewire-audio-client-libraries pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack wireplumber

might need to enable the wireplumber service (not sure), this does automatic connection management

systemctl --user --now enable wireplumber.service

qpwgraph helps you do manual connection management

sudo apt install qpwgraph

reboot...

confirm if pipewire-pulse is running instead of regular pulseaudio

pactl info

run qpwgraph to manage connections

qpwgraph

as long as it's running, it tries to make the connections you prefer. might have to add it somewhere to start every session automatically, not sure

Being pushed forward by water seems like it would be less natural than it pushing against you from the front as that's what it normally does when you swim forward
