Geforce Now on my thinkpad is what makes modern games work.

Likewise! It’s been 8 years without nicotine and 2 years sober here.

Here’s a good one about the monkey on your back: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rUvzx73-cCY&pp=ygUSc3R5Z2dlbiBww6UgcnlnZ2Vu

But you gotts understand norwegian: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/styggen-p%C3%A5-ryggen-bastard-my-back.html

Haven’t kicked them. Stopped using nicotine and alcohol but man is the addiction still there. 🥲

I thought this book was pretty good at reasoning trough some scenarios;

Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence by Max Tegmark

Yeah from my perspective I somehow assumed that was the hard part 😅

Yeah I wasn’t really thinking about obfuscating that he was using a VPN. Just assumed this was not breaking rules, and only thinking about getting around the blocks and having a working VPN.

The intentiom was for the author to supply the data and the LLM to provide the formatting only.

I was intending for the author to chomp in the data and the LLM to spit it out properly formatted.

Yeah newer models are less prone to that problem but definetely agree 🙂

Here’s an example prompt;

Prompt for LLM on Generating APA Citations (7th Edition)

Instructions: I need to create APA format citations for my research paper based on the 7th edition of the APA guidelines. Below are examples of correct APA citations for different types of sources, followed by a list of sources that need to be cited. Please generate the citations accurately, paying special attention to formatting rules such as capitalization, italicization, and punctuation.

Important Formatting Rules:

1. Titles: For journal articles and web pages, use sentence case (capitalize only the first word of the title and subtitle, if any, and any proper nouns). For books and journals, use title case (capitalize all major words) and italicize the title.
2. Authors: List up to 20 authors in the citation. For more than 21 authors, list the first 19 followed by an ellipsis and the final author's name.
3. DOIs and URLs: Always include the full DOI or URL as clickable links without a period at the end.

Citation Examples:

1. Journal article: Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (Year). Title of the article. Title of Periodical, volume number(issue number), pages. https://doi.org/xx.xxx/yyyy
2. Book: Author, A. A. (Year). Title of the book. Publisher.
3. Website: Author, A. A. (Year, Month Day). Title of the webpage. Website Name. URL

Sources List:

4. Johnson, P., Lee, M., & Black, R. (2020). The future of AI in society. AI and Ethics Review, 22(4), 215-230.

Additional Instructions:

• Ensure that article titles are in sentence case, while journal names and book titles are in title case and italicized.
• For multiple authors, follow APA guidelines and use "&" between authors, with commas separating names.
• Make sure DOIs and URLs are accurate and correctly formatted as clickable links.

Once you have generated the citations, please double-check for consistency in formatting (capitalization, italics, and punctuation) and ensure that all sources follow the APA 7th edition rules.

Thank you!

This is what LLMs are for. Just double check their work.

Edit: It seems based on the many downotes that I don’t know shit about citations 😅

Guys, I have no idea, never had to write one of these. 😅 It was just a suggestion.

I use GPT4o daily for work stuff. It often does the job pretty reliably. However all the inserting citation into the text would of course not work, seems that zotero that others are mentioning is made for the job and would therefore do it much better.

It seems people let their prejudices get in the way of using LLMs like the limited tools they are. They are not AI, just a pretty decent guessing machine with multiple limitations.

It’s kind of like a mix between beef and lamb, more on the beef side.

Depends on whale type and how it’s cooked. I’m referring to granny’s overnight milk soaked, pan fried with butter and potatoes whale. (Don’t recall the type).

You can sign up for an AWS account, set up an EC2 instance (a free type, you get one free year) and pull an wireguard image on docker there and connect to that? Unless they are whitelisting IPs I’d imagine this would work.

You can also replace AWS with an external computer of your choice…

Inherit your wealth!

Excellent set of articles on why.

I’ve just accepted the tons of Brave downvotes at this point. At least 80% of it’s profit doesn’t come from having Google as the default search engine 🙂

Weirdly enough I’ve found it much easier to print on linux. It just works out of the box.

If it doesn’t it is definetly the printers manufacturer fault 😅

The bus driver watching loud porn on his phone and cheering them on loud enough for the whole bus to hear.

Definetely quoting me! 😅
