Tbh, I don’t think you really understand how the non-rhotic accent works. In this case, the /r/ would be fully pronounced, as it would be at the start of a word. Say bread, elongate the r and skip the ed part and you have what it sounds like.

If you’re very used to hearing the bunched r, the British version still might sound softer, but even in the USA (where most people use bunched r) it’s still common to hear an r made with the tip of the tongue behind the teeth (upper or lower).

I’m ignoring the other r sounds, but you do find a lot of them across the various regional English accents.

This is a great example - it kinda makes sense if you skim read it but butterflies have nothing to do with butter, just like hotdogs have nothing to do with dogs.

FiveSixEleven downvotes and counting…

LLMs are already being used for policy making, business decisions, software creation and the like. The issue is bigger than summarisers, and “hallucinations” are a real problem when they lead to real decisions and real consequences.

If you can’t imagine why this is bad, maybe read some Kafka or watch some Black Mirror.

My friends would probably say something like “I’ve never heard that one, but I guess it means something like …”

The problem is, these LLMs don’t give any indication when they’re making stuff up versus when repeating an incontrovertible truth. Lots of people don’t understand the limitations of things like Google’s AI summary* so they will trust these false answers. Harmless here, but often not.

* I’m not counting the little disclaimer because we’ve been taught to ignore smallprint from being faced with so much of it

I found that trying “some-nonsense-phrase meaning” won’t always trigger the idiom interpretation, but you can often change it to something more saying-like.

I also found that trying in incognito mode had better results, so perhaps it’s also affected by your settings. Maybe it’s regional as well, or based on your search result. And, as AI’s non-deterministic, you can’t expect it to always work.

Iron Sky counts, right? Its budget is a bit high but it’s a B-movie and it knows it.

I had “install Linkwarden” on my todo list; Hoarder/Karakeep seems very similar, does anyone have opinions on which is better?

I saw this at the cinema last night. We all enjoyed it, although I’ll leave it a good while before I’d rewatch it.

Rami Malek is in a pretty similar role to his Elliot in Mr Robot, plus a bit of MacGuyver. Safe ground for him. Supporting cast was solid.

The plot moves at a decent pace, although without much in the way of surprises. Jon Bernthal’s character could be safely removed and the ending was a little anti-climactic.

Not your post, either ;) We’re c/selfhosted around these parts.

I think it’s more that using tho instead of though is quite casual, but then you use thusly, which is rather formal. The change of register is surprising/funny.

Like if someone wrote “Indeed, it is most unexpected lol”.

I wonder if you can just have something like a teddy bear sat looking at you - similar to how eyes make people wash their hands and pay into honesty boxes.

Reminds me of the “you have two brains” idea, e.g. this CGP Grey video.

It feel like so long since I’ve seen someone use this template correctly, so you’ve got that going for you 👍

Sounds like we need an Archive they can’t censor.

fd is a massive upgrade to find - I appreciate the better UI and skipping hidden files is usually a big time saver (although I do find myself needing -H or specifying the directory a fair amount).

They always used to break for us, and we’d have to go back to the trusty Competition Pro:

Not that it couldn’t be faked, but here’s the bug report with screenshot: https://forum.cursor.com/t/cursor-told-me-i-should-learn-coding-instead-of-asking-it-to-generate-it-limit-of-800-locs/61132

So they rewrote Nepenthes (or Iocaine, Spigot, Django-llm-poison, Quixotic, Konterfai, Caddy-defender, plus inevitably some Rust versions)

Edit, but with ✨AI✨ and apparently only true facts

Good catch - he’s updated the graphic but this is still wrong.
