Nuke Insta Slop

Tired of slop? This is a uBlock Origin filter list that nukes the Reels tab, non-follower posts, and ALL video content from the platform. I'm trying to make Instagram be what my parents said Facebook was.

If you scroll past your friend's posts, this is what you get:

UNIX famously uses fork+exec to create processes, a simple API that is nevertheless quite tricky to use correctly and that comes with a bunch of problems. The alternative, spawn, as used by VMS, Windows NT and recently POSIX, fixes many of these issues but it overly complex and makes it hard to add new features.

prepare() is a proposed API to simplify process creation. When calling prepare(), the current thread enters “preparation state.” That means, a nascent process is created and the current thread is moved to the context of this process, but without changing memory maps (this is similar to how vfork() works). Inside the nascent process, you can configure the environment as desired and then call prep_execve() to execute a new program. On success, prep_execve() leaves preparation state, moving the current thread back to the parent's process context and returns (!) the pid of the now grownup child. You can also use prep_exit() to abort the child without executing a new process, it similarly returns the pid

Is telling a model to "not hallucinate" absurd?

Can you tell an LLM "don't hallucinate" and expect it to work? my gut reaction was "oh this is so silly" but upon some reflection, it really isn't. There is actually no reason why it shouldn't work, especially if it was preference-fine-tuned on instructions with "don't hallucinate" in them, and if it a recent commercial model, it likely was.

What does an LLM need in order to follow an instruction? It needs two things:

1. an ability to perform then task. Something in its parameters/mechanism should be indicative of the task objective, in a way that can be influenced. (In our case, it should "know" when it hallucinates, and/or should be able to change or adapt its behavior to reduce the chance of hallucinations.)
2. an ability to ground the instruction: the model should be able to associate the requested behavior with its parameters/mechanisms. (In our case, the model should associate "don't hallucinate" with the behavior related to 1).

Just F-ing Ping

Because sometimes you just want to f-ing ping!

Modern browsers, believing they are being clever, hide the protocol in the URL bar.

However, even if you only select the hostname, when you paste that URL into your terminal, you will encounter the following:

     * output parameters (if they were modified by the function)
