Why do UI designers continually take something that's easy to use and then bury it behind something else. In Dophin 25.08.3, "Open Terminal Here" was a primary menu item. Now in 25.12.0, it's in a sub-menu. Why? Were you upset that your application was useful and efficient?

Can't fix a script that uses an API... But you think you can build an AI OS?

This sounds like a perfect way to cover Intel services being able to access/compromise hardware/systems of specific high interest individuals, and they simply masked it by convincing the hotel to implement a "hotel wide policy".
A friend of mine got booted out of the Hilton Hotel at DEF CON after room searches and here is his story and what they were looking for: So during Def Con 32, the Hilton Hotel did raids on the rooms of people it thought were hackers. Here is a post of someone's experience and the photos of what the guards were given: "Before I explain what happened, let me clarify that this was my personal own experience and I'm not talking on behalf of the other people affected by this incident. There's this hotel that's engaging in random room inspections specifically to Def Con 32 attendees. They're targeting attendees on the grounds of "making sure [we] are not a threat or have devices that can compromise their network security". In a very aggressive way, they demanded us to open our rooms to go through all of our stuff. We asked them give us time to confirm what they were asking was legit and legal, and they got mad and demanded to open the door or else they were going to call the police and charge us with trespassing. Things escalated very quickly and armed security guards came with the intention of breaking the door to get us out. Since they wouldn't reason, I decided to just open the door. They aggressively asked for our IDs, started reading some policy out loud, and then escorted us out of the property without a care in the world. On our way down the hall there were many more security personnel knocking on doors and getting people out, just like a drug raid. I'm still nervous by this unnecessary and I bet unlawful situation, but I know nothing about laws and how things work in Vegas for visitors. The only thing I can recommend is to STAY AWAY from the Las Vegas Hilton at Resorts World. They are discriminating against Cybersecurity professionals and attendees to the Def Con convention. I can't do anything else, but to tell you my experience, so you don't go through similar situations. If you know how to help in any way, legally, awareness, etc, please do. Cybersecurity professionals must stick together to make things right for the good of everyone. DISCRIMINATION cannot be tolerated." Other people had their badges confiscated by security, and were hassled and threatened for even walking through the hotel.

Key point to always remember about LLMs... it's Statistics Not Intelligence. Sometimes those statistics can accurately represent reality, other times they do not. Link: link.springer.com/article/10…

It's the one of the key points of the subscription model. By making a new payment after they change the contract terms == you've accepted the new terms. The subscription model is a legal loophole allowing them to update the contract whenever they want.
Isn't it neat how they can change the legal agreement after you signed it and paid?

RIP the privacy of your own thoughts. Just wait till authoritarian governments get a hold of this and mandate brain scans to ensure Citizens are being good little slaves. Goebbels would have loved this. #dystopian

With all the LLM discussion Ive been seeing for months regarding Context size... 8k, 16k, 32k, etc. I figure someone needs to say the obvious... "No one needs more than 640k." 😎 #opensource #ai #llm #MachineLearning

Google's Translator seems drunk today. English -> English translates the keys on a standard QWERTY keyboard in weird ways. "Prisoners", "Township", "Body", "of the", "grave", "mouth", "everything", "Leah", etc.

And while I'm on the topic of f'd up things with github... apparently they've managed to break forking repos somehow It claims I've already forked it, but then says I don't have it as a repo.

It looks like what it actually did is fork the repo that long_term_memory was originally forked from... and give me that code instead of the repo I forked. WTH @github Why are you not giving me the repo/files I asked to fork?

This is what they mean when they say you need to add RGB to your system right?

So this is what sending $5 to #RedHat with a #gpl #sourcecode request gets you. A return letter and a generic off the shelf Sandisk USB stick. Come on @RedHat you could at least have used some branded USB sticks that could have been used.

I'm happy to have the source, but I do have to say... I'm a bit disappointed... I expected something a bit more professional from a billion dollar company. Also Red Hat Legal... your printer needs it's toner cartridge replaced.
