When we say someone is the “life of the party” this is what we mean.
The usual perception of that phrase is that the person is wild and exciting - and they might be - but the real meaning is they get the conversation going and keep everyone engaged and interacting, and with them in the room there’s never a dull moment.
And as a result typically end up with a trail of bodies in their wake, yet no police, no investigation, just go home.
The expiry date has been a necessary and useful tool, but these dots seem like they could be a good idea if they can actually sense when spoilage happens.
Meat could have been exposed to bad conditions that makes it spoil before the expected date.
But maybe even bigger is that the date is always going to be very much on the side of caution, so it might avoid waste where people tend to bin stuff as soon as the expiry hits, even though that food may still be perfectly good.
Blocks shorts.
uBlock filters use a modified form of CSS selectors to determine what parts of a page to hide.
If you know vaguely how CSS selectors work you can infer that the filter definition is matching on youtube.com and is finding an element whose title property is shorts - so it seems to be doing an appropriate thing.
The important part is that uBlock filters are not executable; you can’t inject malicious code through one, as they are simply patterns which describe what parts of a page should be hidden, and hiding content is all they can do.
The worst that a filter could do is hide something that shouldn’t be hidden.
Because they want you to watch shorts. They know that people who watch shorts are the most brainrotted on the platform, and the ones who will keep scrolling and watching video after video, and seeing ad after ad, and those are the users YouTube wants all other users to be like.
And so they will push shorts in your face again and again no matter how much you say no, because they think eventually they’ll break you.
The close button is just a temporary placebo to make it feel like you’re the one in control.
Exactly.
LLMs are fundamentally hallucination machines, but this truth utterly conflicts with almost every purpose that AI is being marketed and pushed and sold for, which depends on them being able to analyse data ‘truthfully’ and accurately.
So it’s no wonder that none of the big tech companies have decided to consider or accept hallucinations as a problem, because accepting that truth means also admitting that LLMs are fundamentally unfit for purpose - which is the one thing they simply cannot and will not do with so much money riding on it.
