"Legitimate interest" is a concept from GDPR, which is the EU's major legislation around digital rights. "Legitimate interest" is an extremely soft concept that basically says "a company must have some reason that is not obviously bullshit to process your data." That includes advertising. "We need to know your age, gender and city so we can decide what ads to show you" is considered "legitimate interest." See? Soft.

What it doesn't cover is "We just think it's desirable to accumulate as much data as we can about you for no particular reason and maybe we can just sell it one day, idk." That would not be considered "legitimate interest." Similarly, asking for e.g. a user's phone number but having no particular explanation for why you need it would not be "legitimate interest."

So when you see "legitimate interest" cookies as a category, you can interpret that as "cookies that have some purpose-- including advertising-- as opposed to literally no purpose other than superstitious data hoarding." Block them.

Those kinds of patterns are already emerging! That "mulling the result through a loop" step is called "reflection," and it does a great job of catching mistakes and hallucinations. Nothing is on the scale of doing the whole problem-solving and implementation from business requirements to deployed product-- probably never will be, IMO-- but this "making the LLM a component in a broader system with diverse tools" is definitely something that we're currently figuring out patterns for.

When you turn 40 and people tell you "it's all downhill from here," I'm pretty sure this is what they're talking about.

git is the bidet of information.

Maybe? But it's not like that's the only alternative thing to say, lol

Lie. Or at best, dangerously wrong. Like saying "Crosswalks make cars incapable of harming pedestrians who stay within them."

What are some shortcomings in your view?

Mom can we have Linux?

No

sudo Mom can we have Linux?

Good news, Lemmy! You will no longer be forced by big tech corporations to run uh... [checks notes] a version of Linux on your Steam Deck anymore!

Dee goo ah wah buh boouh

Oh nice-- Maybe those would be better recommendation for this purpose, then. I love Resolve, but I wouldn't want to tell a new Linux user "It doesn't work on your distro, but you can MAKE it work if you are computers enough."

Good 👍 I'm glad that works for people. I had alot of trouble getting Resolve to run on Mint.

Last time I checked, Davinci Resolve (which is fantastic, btw) is only officially supported on CentOS for some reason. There are guides/scripts that allege to make it work on other distros, but I had zero luck with them on Mint when I tried like a year ago.

What the hell kind of second-rate DBMS doesn't encode gender into its primary keys SMDH!!

Pretty good idea! Yeah, maybe the half duplex codec can connect with a weaker signal.

Or something. I don't know that much about the protocol.

No podium finish for them :(

Depending on what skills you have for the "set it up" part, it seems like it'd be pretty straightforward to throw a script around Speedtest CLI to do that. I guess LibreSpeed has a CLI version too.

Cool! Thanks for chiming in :)

Are those statements contradictory? Like aren't big crowds and momentum exactly what you'd expect during a "honeymoon phase," if that's what was going on?

I don't particularly think that is what's going on, but the framing doesn't make sense to me.

Maybe there's a specific person who keeps doing this and they wrote this error specifically for him.
