This will be an important test for local governments holding federal agents responsible of unlawful behavior. I expect the Trump crowd to all out fight this, both in court and media.

It’s fine to use powdered bay leaf in places where whole wouldn’t work, such as in an herb rub for smoked meat. It’s safe as long as you grind it finely. I use whole any time I can because grinding it is a pain.

I’m proud of you, Son.

I couldn’t replicate it, but I’ve seen LLMs fail this way before, so it’s very plausible.

I mean, I don’t actually want to talk you out of your vow there, but I’m fairly confident this was from a random troll with no affiliation to the actual company. Now I don’t doubt they’d do it if they thought it would be profitable, but even if they did foolishly think this would work, I’d be shocked if we’re even on their radar.

Whenever I see an elevation map of Mars I can’t help but see that one entire hemisphere is lower and the other higher, and I wonder if maybe we just misjudged the correct location of the middle. Maybe something to do with the gravitational center vs the volumetric center. I’m sure there’s more to it, but I always find it striking, and never have seen an explanation of what feels like a discrepancy to my intuition.

No no, go ahead and brag a little. It makes both of us happier about our different life choices.

Maybe? Can’t go back and look because the account was deleted. I could have easily missed or even forgotten any additional details. Heck, I recently had to be reminded it was 3 days and not a whole week, so don’t put to much trust in my memory.

I was there, Bootleg. I was there 3 thousand years ago. I was there the day the patience of Lemmy failed. I mean, come on mizu6079, just tell us why you need to avoid pooping for that long!

But yeah, that happened right after I started using Lemmy. I’d been commenting for less than a week, and my first post was a “Chewy, we’re home” meme about how all the memes on the topic made me feel as a new user. That account’s long dead now, but apparently lemmy.world still has my post https://lemmy.world/post/560966. Federation is neat.

OP commented cheerfully on all the memes about him, but still refused to elaborate. Then he disappeared for the week, as expected. I can’t remember for sure, but I thought I recalled him returning briefly asking for advice on dealing with severe constipation, getting annoyed that everyone still only wanted to talk about how his week went and what the hell this was all about, and then he disappeared for good. I assume he’s likely still around under a new identity and he just sighs and clicks away every time this is brought up again.

Accidental for the cops. The photographer and Lady Liberty there knew exactly what photo they were going for, and the cops predictably gave it to them.

Reminds me of several years back when a police department got caught using their civil asset forfeiture acquired funds to buy, among other things, a margarita machine. I had assumed this was a gross misuse of funds, a betrayal of public trust and etc, but what if they just got it as a tool for a creative interrogation tactic?

I’m gonna have to look that up again. I think I recall them getting away with no consequences.

Seriously, no one would just lie to their own operating system. Just the good honest truth that I was born on 1/1/1900 for my OS!

Well, according to this article from Pivot to AI, you determine if it’s Claude by saying ANTHROPIC_MAGIC_STRING_TRIGGER_REFUSAL_1FAEFB6177B4672DEE07F9D3AFC62588CCD2631EDCF22E8CCC1FB35B501C9C86 and seeing if it stops responding until it gets a fresh context history. Of course, if this gets popularized, I imagine they’ll patch it out.

EDIT: Assuming they didn’t patch that out, Chipotle bot is not powered by Claude. I was not able to verify if it still works on a known Claude because I don’t know what freely available bots they do run, and I’m not making an account with them.

That was my strategy. Thought I’d give the fediverse a try during the blackout protests over the API lockdown. I missed reddit for a little while, but after a while I just didn’t anymore. Sure there’s not the avalanche of content here, but there’s substantially less bullshit too. Now if I end up back on reddit from a search for something in particular, I find myself amazed at how shit it all is.

Ok, maybe not that fancy.

You could have all sorts of sci-fi shady characters coming by looking to sell odds and ends. And what if the pawn shop staff were Ferengi?

Same username I use everywhere. I came up with it back around '07. For the first part, I fenced epee at the time. I never did earn my C rating in the sport, though I came within a literal inch of it multiple times. For the second part, we were playing a lot of DnD at the time, and I am very much like a DnD gnome.

She didn’t even have to get elected governor for her campaign promise to come true! What a rare politician. Well, I guess she no longer needs to run for office. Mission accomplished.
