Every time I try to use an LLM, it always gets things terribly wrong. Nvlist binary format is undocumented. Ask an LLM for it and of course it gets confused with OpenZFS similarly named nvpair, and talks about that (don't know if it's correct or not, but probably isn't from what I briefly saw).
I really don't understand how anyone uses this stuff for work.
you can't just ask it for answers and expect good results from only its internal corpus. Always request that it use official docs or provide it links to docs / code and tell it to reference that before answering.
> If I have to hunt down and provide source/docs for it, I might as well look at them myself to understand it and not depend upon an LLM to do so.
yeah true, but when it's something without good docs or really confusing docs without examples, or projects where I have no idea what the structure is I find it very useful as it can read and find what I'm looking for faster than I can by grep-guessing
I started documenting kernel side #kqueue on #FreeBSD. At this point it is just a brain dump, so I need help improving github.com/mekanix/freebsd-src…. @dexter got any tips except contacting man page author?
I was thinking we need to get more people active on the FreeBSD wiki too so at least examples, gotchas, and best practices are *somewhere* associated with the project and not just on random blogs and web comments, like this one from the other day:
More metro Phoenix home sellers have grown tired of demands from buyers and have given up.
The number of canceled home listings is on the rise in the Valley as buyers continue to insist on lower prices, expensive remodel projects and interest-rate buydowns. Trevor Halpern of Halpern Residential at eXp Reality said 35% to 40% of his sellers are pulling their listings if buyers won't give them the price they want.
During the past few months, about 30% of Phoenix-area homes listed for sale were called off by homeowners, according to the Cromford Report.
A colleague is asking how many #Neuroscientists are here on Mastodon / Fedi. If you are one, could you make yourself known in this poll? Also, more specific comments about your field welcome! 🧠

Calling all #Signal experts. I'm getting this: "Something went wrong with your username, it’s no longer assigned to your account. You can try and set it again or choose a new one." Tried setting from the phone and from the laptop (iOS and Windows respectively), no dice. What should I do now? @signalapp
@André Polykanine I know nothing about @Signal but this is great opportunity to remind that @Delta Chat is fuLly encrypted, privacy oriented, puts you as an user in control and has great #a11y
@André Polykanine Yes @Delta Chat is an electron or tauri based app. It's verry accessible on both windows and linux. I don't know for sure about the mac. There is a native app for android which is also very well designed in terms of accessibility. For desktop, There are two flavours. Originally I was more excited about the tauri edition as it needs less resources to run, but recently serverless audio / video calls powered by webRTC are taking shape which is going to be added into the electron edition first. When using the desktop app it's best to keep NVDA or other screen readers switched into focus mode most of the time and use browse mode as a mean to proof read something if needed.
@pvagner tauri edition is not mainlined, remains experimental for now. There are some other desktop clients but likely they are not close to the accessibility of main desktop version.
From YouTube recommendations, a short video documentary about the first auto GPS system that was tested in Orlando between 1991 and 1992. It was in some ways ahead of its time because in addition to GPS it used radio communication for real-time traffic updates.

@JamminJerry Yeah, the talking language master use this system as well. It’s called bestspeech, more famously known as the voice of the Keynote synthesizer. Though the version used for that was newer than the one used on the language, master and in this video so it sounds a bit different
@menelion No, I don't have a second account, and nothing against mastodon.de but it's not an instance I would use. Idk why they can't ban him from accessing their instance. I've heard he uses a vpn but there still must be a way to do it.
ElevenReader from ElevenLabs reduces pricing, gives free tier more reading hours and Plus members become Ultimate members. Very exciting stuff. ElevenReader is my favorite book reader. elevenreader.io/pricing
Het fascisme is terug. Vind je dat overdreven? Dat is precies hoe het werkt.
Deze uitlegvideo van De Correspondent, van minder dan 10 minuten, wens ik een groot bereik toe. Met name onder mensen die mochten denken dat het 'allemaal wel meevalt'.
Beter en krachtiger dan deze korte en toegankelijke video valt het niet uit te leggen. Dat we even goed weten waar we staan.
Ja, het fascisme is terug. Vind je dat overdreven? Dat is precies hoe het werkt. Fascisme maakt extremisme normaal, waardoor waarschuwingen alarmistisch klin...
« Il y a deux ans, Dominique Bernard était assassiné devant son lycée, victime du terrorisme islamiste.
Assassiné pour sa vocation : enseigner, transmettre, éveiller les consciences. Assassiné parce qu'il défendait son école, le savoir, ses élèves. Assassiné parce qu'il incarnait tout ce que la haine, l'obscurantisme, l'islamisme détestent.
Jamais je n'oublierai ce 13 octobre et les jours qui ont suivi. Le choc face à l'attentat. La dignité des collègues de Dominique Bernard, le courage des élèves, la grandeur de la famille et de ses proches.
Nous rendons hommage à ce serviteur de l’École, à son courage, à sa passion de transmettre. Nous pensons à son épouse, à sa famille, à ses collègues et à tous les professeurs qui, tous les jours, font vivre la République dans chaque salle de classe. » Src : t.me/PartiRenaissance/4632

I've been waiting for the new #Witcher book for many years. And today it's finally in my ebook reader. 😍 (I know it was released already last year, but the Czech translation was published just a few days ago.) app.thestorygraph.com/books/dd…
Unistroke Keyboard: Unistroke Handwriting Input Method, like Graffitty was on the Palm Pilot. This app is a fork of the seemingly no longer maintained original app going by the same name.
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
You want to know how little we actually trust these post-quantum algorithms? So little that we're concerned that the NSA wants to formalize quantum-only crypto instead of hybrid crypto where we use current algorithms AND pq algorithms.
If we actually trusted this stuff worked, we wouldn't be afraid. But we are. Why is that?

Why Signal’s post-quantum makeover is an amazing engineering achievement
New design sets a high standard for post-quantum readiness.

someone is gonna say "but layers, security in layers!!"
ok so why don't we use AES and Twofish or Serpent together? Don't say performance, because that really shouldn't be a concern if security is that important.

Hi everyone, if you have ever been interested in listening to cylinder recordings from the late 1870's onward, here is a website which has preserved 10000 cylinders and digitized them so that people in the modern day can enjoy these early recordings for our listening pleasure. They have also a link to a list of just over 650 home recordings of people at the time who bought Edisons' Phonograph and used them in there houses and made recordings at the time on cylinders as well. The site describes this better than I can, but hope y'all enjoy. #History #recordings Overview | UCSB Cylinder Audio Archive cylinders.library.ucsb.edu/ove…
Digital collection of 6,000 cylinder records from 1895-1920s with downloadable and streaming audio held by the Department of Special Collection, University of California, Santa Barbara.

Bonjour, il y a une communauté aveugle et malvoyante sur masto ? Je cherche à me renseigner sur les besoins d’accessibilité, notamment pour l’accueil lors de permanences associatives. Je n’y connais rien, est-ce qu’il y a des ressources francophones sur le sujet ?
Posez des questions, je ferais de mon mieux pour vous y répondre. Je me présente, professionnel en accessibilité (plutôt numérique) complètement aveugle de naissance. Et oui, la communauté aveugle est assez large ici, on s'est tous sauvé de Twitter.
First there was iTunes video, then Apple TV+, and now just Apple TV. Apple's rebranding of Apple TV+ means that it now has Apple TV, Apple TV, and the Apple TV. appleinsider.com/articles/25/1…

Pro mě je teď asi největší topovka A6 e-tron. Baterka 95 kWh, reálný dojezd po dálnici přes 500 km, 800V architektura... 😍 CLA taky dobrý, ale já tím potřebuju nahradit BMW 5, má to malý kufr.
@schmaker Jede to jak z praku, chová se přesně tak, jak má, zcela předvídatelné. Když v tom jdeš, tak máš z toho radost. Možný brzdy by mohly být lepší, ale bylo to nové auto, tak si ještě nesedly, tak těžko soudit. Já tam šel s tím, že mi v autě fakt vadí dotykové displeje a neustálé šmírování, a odcházel jsem s tím, že to jsou jenom takové podružné detaily. Tak dobrý to auto je. Přišel jsem domů a začal počítat, jestli si můžu dovolit to hned objednat. 🙂 Bohužel mi do toho žena hodila trochu vidle, že do EV nesedne, že tam všichni uhoříme. Tak na tom budu muset ještě trochu zapracovat.
Dear Apple, if you really want to introduce something that might impress us, stop making shiny things and make it so we can cut and paste files in finder. It’s 2025 and we still cannot cut and paste files on a Mac.
Like I said, gpt with siri integration knows the answer it said this: In Finder, select the file and press Command + C to copy it, then go to the destination folder and press Option + Command + V to move it, which is the equivalent of cutting and pasting.Which is what I said, but said cmd opt v instead. It's existed since ages.
