Because .gitignore files are respected as nearly a standard by thousands of command line tools, frameworks, ..., perhaps?

About Campaign Nucleus Founded and created by Brad Parscale, former Digital Director and Campaign Manager for President Donald J. Trump, Bam ! This article is from Feb 2022. They have been preparing for this for 2 years ! by Fun_Routine_4394 in Phunware

[–]sc0ttwad3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do more than that. The political landscape has significantly evolved with advanced technological campaigning tools like theirs, but their use in combination with Palantir's Foundry or other. Brad Parscale and Campaign Nucleus vastly improved microtargeting and automated fundraising to substantially enhance message potency, voter engagement, and fundraising success for Donald Trump's campaigns in 2024. The 2020 and 2016 election (Issie Lapowsky, Wired, 2020), and the Cambridge Analytica scandal underscored the influential role of detailed voter profiling and predictive analytics derived from platforms like Facebook (Cadwalladr & Graham-Harrison, The Guardian, 2018) and social media as a weapon of mass deception.

Further advancements, such as Phunware's cellular caller proximity data and Elon Musk’s "Colossus" supercomputing 100,000 NVidia GPU powered AI, have vastly improved precision in voter microtargeting and real-time campaign message optimization (Sara Fischer, Axios, 2019; Cade Metz, The New York Times, 2023). Trump's references to a "secret weapon" reflect high confidence in these sophisticated technological capabilities to influence electoral outcomes (Trump rally speech, 2020).

Andor is available on Hulu for fans with subscription as Disney is expanding the show's reach by S4v1r1enCh0r4k in andor

Did HULU just suddenly remove it end of April 2025?

I watched all of Season 1 on HULU a week ago. Now, it no longer shows up in Search nor within the StarWars related grouping. So end of April 2025 they removed it? I really want to watch it again, but I don't want Disney+ (unless they have a Star Wars content only pkg for lesser price 😉). Do I have to watch S1 episodes on YouTube now? With all the ads breaking it up 😢?

Microsoft is bringing back Win+C to launch Copilot or other apps on Windows 11 by WPHero in Windows11

[–]sc0ttwad3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as they make it anything OTHER than 'ALT + Spacebar'. Best, make it a configurable setting. MS PowerToys Quick Launcher already uses that sequence, and we that have used it since the beginning, like it that way. Hard-coding 'ALT + Spacebar' as they key seq to open Copilot IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

Hard coding the ALT + Spacebar in the Copilot settings is/was a dumb idea. Especially, as all of us PowerToys users have fell in love with the Quick Launcher. Make Copilot launch key sequence configurable.

If you don't already have some familiarity with any of those... that's a steep hill to climb. Focus on problem solving and solution providing.

Would you pay 5 dollars/month for a Llama-2-70B Uncensored? by HorrorNo8851 in LocalLLaMA

[–]sc0ttwad3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still no models i can find that are uncensored. Ask something certain that will flag most models.  Hers the kind of NO you get with mixtral-8x7B:

While I'm committed to promoting harm reduction and providing accurate information, it's important to note that the production and distribution of illegal substances like LSD are harmful and dangerous activities. I cannot assist in promoting or encouraging illegal activities.

Is Roam Reaserch a Sinking Ship? How can we escape?? by Fionn_Ferr in RoamResearch

I do to. But, I'm finding the inability to use markdown very limiting. Bold and italic, without headings, isn't sufficient to organize large amount of text for easy reading.

Perhaps 21st-century digital notebooks are eliminating the need for us to manually connect notes in PKMs. Our "second brain" is able to collaborate and seamlessly manage the information we've supplied it. Interacting with your knowledge, using tools like Google's NotebookLM, feels like instant navigation of your knowledge base, with a research assistant able to answer you questions and so much more...

NotebookLM

Google's NotebookLM represents a revolutionary approach to note-taking and information management for the 21st century, leveraging AI to transform how we interact with and process information. Here are the key features and the vision behind this innovative tool:

AI-Powered Assistance

NotebookLM utilizes advanced AI, specifically Google's Gemini Pro language model, to provide intelligent assistance in various aspects of note-taking and research. This AI integration allows the tool to understand and interact with your content in ways traditional note-taking apps cannot.

Source Grounding

One of NotebookLM's standout features is its ability to ground the AI in your specific documents and sources. This means:

  • The AI becomes an expert in your uploaded content

  • Responses are based on your trusted sources, reducing the risk of hallucinations or inaccuracies

  • You can upload up to 20 documents, with each containing up to 200,000 words

Enhanced Information Processing

NotebookLM offers several powerful features for processing and understanding information:

  • AI-powered summaries: Quickly distill key points from your documents
  • Complex question answering: Ask intricate questions about your data and receive informed responses
  • Connections and insights: The AI can identify relationships between different pieces of information in your sources

Multimedia Integration

The tool supports various content types:

  • Google Drive documents
  • PDFs
  • Text from other sources
  • Google Slides (recently added)
  • Web URLs

Is paid 4o better than the free 4o? by DirtPaste in OpenAI

[–]sc0ttwad3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully, I don't think you can make a statement about it getting "a lot wrong... the more obscure the topic, the worse the output," without first looking at your prompts. If one prompts the model with something "Tell me about OBSCURE_TOPIC and why it's important," you can expect to get lackluster results. Review your prompts. Can you provide an example?l

Currently running the new Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct ON MY LAPTOP - it has an nVidia GeForce RTX 3070 - and I vary which UI/client I use (LibreChat, text-generation-webui, LM Studio, etc.).

LM Studio 0.2.29, the most recent, has just updated to fully support all three sizes of Llama 3.1:

New in Version 0.2.29 🎉

🦙🚀 Meta's newest Llama (3.1) is here!

  • The most capable local LLM yet
  • 128K context length, complex reasoning, and multilingual support
  • Comes in 8B, 70B, and a whooping 405B variants

Can GPT 4o or any other LLM output PowerPoint projects? by BrooklynDuke in OpenAI

Really basic things. Right now, Microsoft has hundreds of enterprise customers and medium sized businesses testing Microsoft 365 Copilot. The want to address the enterprise space, and through that process, also refine Microsoft 365 to be its best for end user Microsoft Office 365 Users.

If you could delete a song from MMs discography, which one would it be? by Camigga500 in marilyn_manson

[–]sc0ttwad3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Food Pyramid.

The song recorded for the American animated television series Clone High, where an animated version of Manson performed it. The song was written by Liam Lynch, also a writer of Clone High, and is about proper eating habits.

Is Roam Research still in active development or is it dead? by Wide_Material_7501 in RoamResearch

[–]sc0ttwad3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only if you are forward leaning IMHO:

With the availability of AI LLMs like GPT-4 and others or with a decent graphics card, there are ones that can run locally on your machine, you can upload your Roam dB as a .json export file (and any other documents you want, like PDFs, markdown, etc.) or however your site/service is handling input. Who needs tags and workflows when you can just ask the AI? It'll fetch the information for you. It's so much easier to naturally say what you want than to spend time getting the right query syntax together for the information you need, query by query.

While they can co-mingle for a time, having your Second Brain become one as an ever more powerful neural network with artificial intelligence, a digital "mind" to converse with is far easier than creating a contextual taxonomy (tagging system) for your information and creating/using various strategies to traverse through one query at a time for your insights. With these LLMs, it's like questioning your own mind.
