You asked a question and answered it yourself?

I posted the 10 points according to one source and then said

There are many varied but similar versions of these points circulating elsewhere

for one thing, you’re in a country where this once happened 🤦

I am a white European Spanish woman

Race is a social construct and in the eyes of your friend’s racist dad you are apparently not white (even if he might have classified you as white if he had only your appearance to go by and hadn’t seen your name).

did an LLM get involved in your dictionary somehow? (why are four of these six definitions very minor rephrasings of each other?)

Fwiw, the American Heritage Dictionary has only one definition; the other two are in wiktionary (which has citations for both).

Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?

to all five of your questions: yes

what happened next? (do the terms actually allow you to cancel it immediately for no cost, or is their $10-per-month-for-nothing offer an alternative to paying a cancellation fee?)

well, some of them are built so that the front doesn’t fall off at all

It’s a library for detecting which character encoding a string is encoded with.

Here are the docs for the vibe-coded rewrite, and here is the version before it.

The new vibe-coded version also adds language detection; it isn’t clear to me why the current version of the readme shows it classifying the string "It’s a lovely day — let’s grab coffee." as Spanish with 99% confidence, without any comment in the docs about that being a misclassification, but I guess that if the LLM-authored program says it is then that must be one of those phrases that looks the same in Spanish as in English 👀

your instance has a list of communities federated to it here: https://piefed.zip/communities

the most active community for announcing new communities is !newcommunities@lemmy.world (which includes communities on many different instances, not only .world)

maybe it would be better to say that it is stochastically accurate?

also btw icymi, this is a post about LLMs

i think i get Candand (what some Barnes & Noble spam once rendered C++ as?) but, what is borsuk language?

Reputable news source “GLOBAL FACTZ”

😂

Fwiw, before reposting this meme, I actually checked to make sure that the underlying “weird news” story here was not solely reported by random clickbait fake news sites but was also covered by an actual news organization.

anyone who objects to mass surveillance obviously hates puppies

a wifi access point that gets online via a cellular network is called a mobile hotspot, regardless of if it’s running on a phone or a dedicated router device

huh? mobile hotspot is double-bad

A cascade of satellite collisions is called Kessler syndrome and the risk of it happening is rapidly increasing due to megaconstellations like Starlink:

Here we propose a new metric, the CRASH Clock, that measures such stress in terms of the timescale for a possible catastrophic collision to occur if there are no satellite manoeuvres or there is a severe loss in situational awareness. Our calculations show the CRASH Clock is currently 5.5 days, which suggests there is limited time to recover from a wide-spread disruptive event, such as a solar storm. This is in stark contrast to the pre-megaconstellation era: in 2018, the CRASH Clock was 164 days.

Kessler syndrome could be a solution to the Fermi paradox.

is that jesus?
