i mean, you understood the meaning of the sentence, right? so the person managed to get their point accross, and saved on length by using that form - that's actually quite linguistically clever!

I think more and more browsers are spoofing their UA to pretend that you're using windows, for fingerprinting resistance

it depends™

what are you protecting yourself against?

for my use case, that'd be good enough, i don't want my school/building admins to snoop on the websites i visit, and don't want to fear academic repercussions for torrenting and such

though if you think your government is out to get you, then tunneling to another country is probably best!

"AI" today mostly refers to LLMs, and whichever LLM you're using, you'll likely face the same issues (wrong answers creeping in, tending towards mediocrity in its answers, etc.) - those seem to be things you have to live with if you want to use LLMs. if you know you can't deal with it, another rebrand won't help anything

i mean, the main issue is that theologues base their beliefs on the belief that some old texts hold universal truths

the avreage person also isn't as convincing as a bot we're told is the peak of computer intelligence

well, i just tried it, and its answer is meh --

i asked it to transcribe "zenquistificationed" (made up word) in IPA, it gave me /ˌzɛŋˌkwɪstɪfɪˈkeɪʃənd/, which i agree with, that's likely how a native english speaker would read that word.

i then asked it to transcribe that into japaense katakana, it gave me "ゼンクィスティフィカションエッド" (zenkwisuthifikashon'eddo), which is not a great transcription at all - based on its earlier IPA transcription, カション (kashon') should be ケーシュン (kēshun'), and the エッド (eddo) part at the end should just, not be there imo, or be shortened to just ド (do)

it is absolutely capable to come up with it’s own logical stuff

interesting, in my experience, it's only been good at repeating things, and failing on unexpected inputs - it's able to answer pretty accurately if a small number is even or odd, but not if it's a large number, which indicates it's not reasoning but parroting answers to me

do you have example prompts where it showed clear logical reasoning?

 

For those who may not know, the IPA (international phonetics alphabet) is widely used for writing out how words are spoken. It's very useful for linguists writing research papers, and for people looking to learn new languages!

As I wasn't satisfied with most IPA keyboards available, and wanted something that integrated well with fcitx, which I already have to use for japanese input, I re-implemented parts of the SIL IPA keyboard . It's not a one-to-one recreation (yet), because I needed somthing now rather than later, and took some shortcuts to put in all the features I personally needed, but it should be good enough for doing broad transcription of RP English. It should also be fairly trivial to hack in support for most character combinations.
