  • Is it possible to get an AI model to generate a script that will download the latest LTS torrent of Ubuntu?

  • this makes this a much easier task, although i'm still not sure if i'll end up figuring it out. thank you.

  • So there's a 0 chance of it creating a working script with just AI? I probably am not knowledgeable enough at coding to do bash script corrections myself. If I have to become a good enough coder to edit code, it sort of defeats the purpose of AI doing the code for me. Why not just learn bash scripting and do it myself at that point?

  • You're probably right, but I'm not actually trying to learn to program. I learn programming and linux on an as needed basis, but I just keep learning more of it when I want to do stuff.

    If I can't get AI to figure this out for me, I am not sure if it's worth it to me to learn substantially more about bash programming just to bypass going to a webpage. It would probably be like 4 days of learning. From the page listing the torrents in a spreadsheet, I am guessing it would be easy to figure out how to list them, delete the ones without LTS in the name, order them by number and delete everything but the highest number. An LLM could probably help me with that task. I still don't know if I have the IQ/insight amount to get it to a working level, so it's also a gamble.

    It just seems like an LLM should be able to do all of this. This is sort of the quintessential trivial programming task that an LLM should be able to easily do.

  • AI models are great for troubleshooting and understanding concepts or figuring out approaches but in actual implementation they seem weak to me. I've heard people saying how AI is replacing much of coding and I'm not really a coder but I can't understand how that would be currently possible with the responses I see from AI,

  • My LLMs don't have Internet access yet. I was trying to get https://github.com/open-webui/ to work in docker but struggled with the backend connecting with ollama, which was working. I mostly have been using LM Studio recently, which I don't think can go online for searching, or if it does I haven't figured that out yet.

  • I am not that familiar with RSS and wouldn't even know how to do this. I am trying to get AI to create a script so that I can execute it without having to go to the Ubuntu website. I want to do this by command line.

  • is chain of thought the same as the reasoning models or the same as DeepSeek when it shows it's thinking process?

    I'm sadly not that familiar with grep or regex and torrent searches sometimes disappear. The Ubuntu website has a very standard format and doesn't change often. This shouldn't be that hard for AI to script. It just seems like AI is bad at scripting.

  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lays out battle plan against 'shockingly dim' Trump White House

    Jump

  • Even if you are right, and you may be, other forms of austerity measures or balanced budgets etc simply haven't been politically feasible to implement, otherwise they would have been done. My point is that Democrats could have prevented this whole mess by offering the poor a more more lucrative platform, so lucrative that perhaps they cared less about religion and moral wedge issues, but they clung to a more moderate platform, allowing wedge issues to become a large factor in how people voted, leading to the present situation.

  • 'Everything I Say Leaks,' Zuckerberg Says in Leaked Meeting Audio

    Jump

  • I think the government created Facebook, Zuckerberg is a highly intelligent operative with a back story (strangely made into a movie), and I do not think he always chooses his choices. You will never convince me otherwise. Look up Lifelog. The evidence is too convincing. Anyone who gets a 1600 on the SATs gets recruited and he likely got that.

    Jump

  • The problem is decades ago Democrats did not make changes to help the poor and lower middle classes fast enough and extreme enough to show that they were the party of the common worker and get a dominant position for multiple election cycles, allowing them to put in policies to stop inflation.

    Do you want Jesus/religion and extreme poverty for the lower classes?

    or Do you want abortion and mild poverty for the lower classes?

    Moral wedge issues resulted in a lot of lost votes because for decades Democrats offered only minimal or marginal economic benefits for the lower classes. Their platform was so conservative they lost power completely over moral wedge issues and now can't get it back. Also, now the US is in so much debt that something like DOGE (which is covert austerity measures camouflaged as conservatism) is actually prudent and necessary.

  • I really think this is the exception rather than the rule. People who know what endocrine disruptors are, understand epigenetics, and understand how prenatal hormone environments can affect brain development probably almost all universally support trans people.

    It's like global warming: 99 percent of smart scientists agree it exists, and the remaining 1 percent have random reasons to think otherwise.

    The thing is people who understand (on even a low level) epigenetics, prenatal hormones, endocrine disruptors, and how brain structural changes can impact senses of gender probably comprise less than 1 percent of 1 percent of the population. Most people are very dumb and on lemmy, the average IQ is probably 1 SD above normal, meaning the average lemmy user is easily in the top 20% of IQs. The average person is so unintelligent relative to a lemmy user it's like comparing an atom to Jupiter. The Musks (autism) and Dawkins (old age and cognitive inflexibility) of the world are not typical of the intelligent people in society, they are just high profile outliers. Almost everyone intelligent supports trans people and those that don't are cognitively defective. Vance at one point thought he was gay and dressed like a woman. Being a bisexual who chooses not to act on same-sex urges perhaps creates extreme cognitive dissonance or perhaps Vance is less hostile towards trans people and is poltiically savy. (I am not saying Vance has bisexual urges; I don't know.) I just don't think anyone with any intelligence can be hostile to trans people unless there is something impacting their brain in a negative way (extreme lack of empathy, religion, extreme cognitive inflexibility, extreme cognitive dissonance). Vance is also extremely intelligent despite his political affiliations.

    Unfortunately, the bulk of society are really fucking dumb and can hate trans people and have "normal" dumb brains because they just lack the logic to understand science and phenotype variation and how altered structures lead to altered behavior.

  • I hate Facebook and that they will ban people, without notice, unless they record a video selfie from multiple angles, and then still sometimes permanently ban people even then, without a way to pay to prove the person is real or talk to someone or even get a reason for the ban. I also think Facebook is an arm of the government and is not really a company (quasi-governmental) and is basically a corporate rebranding of LifeLog and Zuckerberg probably got a 1600 on his SATs and was recruited to join the government while in high school.

    So that all being said, despite my hatred of Facebook, what he is saying isn't that illogical.

    Let's say Zuckerberg personally supports trans rights and thinks Trump is an idiot. He can't say that in a meeting that will obviously have leaks. It would be "value-destroying." Say what you want about Zuckerberg, but most people with enough intelligence don't hate trans people because they understand science and how prenatal hormone conditions and epigenetic conditions means that sometimes internal senses of gender don't match biological at birth sex. (Musk is the rare exception to this and it seems like his reaction comes from ego and anger about being estranged from his daughter and autism/lack of empathy, and so he's a weird data point that doesn't neatly fit if we take his reaction at face value.)

    So let's say Zuckerberg wants to say "We support trans and gay people, we have to do this so Trump doesn't go after us to remain profitable and not end up needing to decrease our head count, I hate Trump." If he said that, someone would immediately leak it, Trump would go Ape Shit, and the company would lose value.

    It's hard to know for certain if this is what he's talking about, but if he is, this isn't really something to fault him on.

    Facebook labeling linux as somehow evil, on the other hand, is a bizarre and shitty thing to do, so fuck Facebook and fuck this asshole who is letting linux be labeled as a cybersecurity threat. I also think Facebook doing this is because government, which has backdoors in Microsoft and Apple OSes, doesn't like linux and sees it growing in popularity and so I believe the government requested Facebook do this. I can't fathom a social media company would do this for no reason on their own, it makes no sense, but if Facebook is Lifelog and always has been Lifelog and Zuckerberg gets his orders from someone else, then it would make sense that they implement policies regarding labeling linux as bad to try to keep their backdoors in as many users' OSes as possible.

  • Really, it's these establishment Democrats that have made it the party of slow reaction times, large government, and inefficiency. AOC should be elevated, and elevated, and elevated again. She's an American hero and patriot and should have been given more responsibility long ago.

  • if you look at my post history, which is filled with unmitigated pro 2A pro-NRA posts, you'll see I'm not a troll.

    We would live in a much more polite society if everyone were armed.

    The fact that 2A can be limited if a person gets diagnosed with depression makes it more likely people, especially men, avoid mental health treatment (and then eventually commit suicide).

    Gender dyphoria is considered a mental illness and is already a potential large attack surface for conservatives to disarms trans people (to use a software metaphore).

    The NRA is in favor of repealing needless pointless gun regulations which ahve horrible secondary effects and reduce the safety of all.

    I also disagree that all LGBTQI+ people take out the garbage.

  • As an LGBTQ+ person who supports the NRA and believes we need substantially more guns in America and to repeal all gun regulation, I really hope all LGBTQ+ and allies not only are armed, but realize the benefit of owning a variety of firearms.

    Since conservatives are trying to say some or all LGBTQ+ people are mentally ill, and mental illness is often used to justify disarming people, it's really important for LGBTQ+ people to be aware of these issues.

    In the US, gender dyphoria is classified as a mental illness under the DSM and so technically any trans person who has seen a doctor is mentally ill and not allowed to own guns.

    Therefore, trans people will hopefully realize the important of being armed prior to disclosing their trans status to a doctor and decent people should do their best to not only the discredit the DSM as the pseudointellectual biased phrenologyesque crock of shit that it is, but also to have gender dysphoria removed as a psychiatric issue and labeled for what it is, a medical issue resulting from brain differences that requires treatment.

    If you made a response like:

    "Dear reviewer,

    When I wrote the code for this app, which displays content from reddit that I have no control over, I never envisioned some fuckwit moron would be so stupid that he or she would get mad at the App for just displaying what's on reddit.

    In the future, I'll add a disclaimer that goes "Are you some anti-DEI piece of shit who thinks everything is Woke? Press the large red button icon below to only see the "based" subreddit." I hope this will help you understand how to use this App, you fucking idiot.
