  • Since a lot of people seem to be jumping to extreme conclusions about this based on specious assumptions, here’s how the process works according to the article:

    Magrathea — named after a planet in the hit novel The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — buys waste brines, often from desalination plants, and allows the water to evaporate, leaving behind magnesium chloride salts. Next, it passes an electrical current through the salts to separate them from the molten magnesium, which is then cast into ingots or machine components.


  • That’s 100% true. That’s why I’d like the help from experts to help me avoid being scammed, help me avoid drinking and eating poisoned food, or having to breath unhealthy air.

    I don’t always know the full repercussions from the decisions I make so I really appreciate having some expert help. This is especially true of decisions shitty people try to coerce me into making when I’m desperate or emotionally vulnerable.


  • That link doesn’t work; I’ll assume it says that he was denied asylum because he committed fraud against an Australian citizen. This doesn’t really provide evidence that his claims of being a spy are false, only that he committed fraud in Australia. It’s definitely a point against his character, but not evidence that he lied about being a spy.

    Since you aren’t interested in being skeptical of your sources and jumped on the first thing that seemed to match the narrative you were pushing I found some evidence for you. Oddly enough there’s an entire Wikipedia article about him that goes into pretty significant detail about why his claims of being a high level spy are probably false.

    It’s odd that you didn’t see the Wikipedia article, I’m sure you have access to Wikipedia in your country don’t you?




  • I use it for exactly the same thing.

    I used to spend hours agonizing over documenting things because I couldn’t get the tone right, or in over explained, or some other stupid shit.

    Now I give my llamafile the code, it gives me a reasonable set of documentation, I edit the documentation because the LLM isn’t perfect, and I’m done in 10 minutes.


  • First, I’m glad you made it to the fediverse Loon-god, you’ll always be a Warrior’s legend.

    Second, anecdotally even the crappy results generated by LLMs have value for me. Writing emails, jira tickets, documentation, etc. are all incredibly painful for me. I’ll start an email and suddenly folding laundry I’ve ignored for 2 days is the most important thing in the world for me. Then the email that should take 5 minutes takes me an hour and turns out being way to long and dense.

    With an LLM I give it a few bullet points with general details, it spits out a paragraph or so, I edit the paragraph for tone and add specific details, and then I’m done in about 5 minutes.

    LLMs help me to complete tasks that I really really don’t want to do, which has a lot of value to me. They aren’t going to replace me at my job, but they’ve have really upped my productivity.




  • I’m sure your little club is just big enough to get Donald Trump elected, that’s how margins work.

    Unfortunately for you there a magnitudes more voters that would be alienated by your fringe politics, so most elected officials aren’t going to give your ideas priority. To think otherwise is the attitude of a petulant child that wants a happy meal when the rest of the family wants to go to sushi.

    Despite all that I think you’ve convinced me. The best way to stop the genocide in Gaza now, in March of 2024, is to make sure that the Zionist, single state solution, ban on Palestinian immigration candidate gets elected to be our president in from 2025 through 2029. That will definitely teach those damn establishment Democrats to listen to us, and will 100% improve the lives of the people in Gaza and the west bank. I’m sure that Trump is just joking about immigrants tainting the blood of America. He’s surely not serious about project 2025, or enacting a nation wide abortion ban after 6 weeks. We have to get this guy elected in November to stop the genocide today.


  • Lol I love this take.

    Normal people:

    Donald Trump getting elected will be bad for labor rights, abortion rights, voting rights, LGBTQ rights, among a ton of other freedoms. I should do the simple thing and vote for Joe Biden even though I disagree with some of his policies and he hasn’t taken a strong enough stance on others that I support. I understand he has to compromise and can’t tailor his policies exactly to my niche beliefs. Even if I don’t vote, Biden or Trump will be president; I should vote for the one that will at least do some of the things I support.

    The brave freedom fighters on Lemmy with a spine:

    Joe Biden isn’t catering to me and my friends, I’m not voting for that capitalist neo liberal pig Joe Biden. Surely the Democrats will call me next time they nominate a candidate, after all we should be catered too even though we’re an extremely small community.
