Wondering how long it will be before this ability to alter behavior in LLMs spurs more-targeted neural intervention in humans. Haven’t been tracking neuro… think this will give it a boost?

I feel you, fam. It was replaced by “Maybe later!” years ago.

Sadly we have been surrounded by these systems since long before AI appeared. Even the “post hidden for low score” algorithms reward popularity, which is not necessarily correlated positively with quality. Pushback against these systems has failed; I’m looking for reasons to be optimistic about...

I largely agree with everything you said; my goal (however poorly that was achieved, checking my downvote count...) was not to argue that tools can't be misused, but that there are clearly opportunities to use new tools in a 'responsible' way to advance learning. As an aside, an anecdore with...

Yes, of course you are right. I was just trying to provide a perspective for seeing the possibility of responsible use of new tools for the poster who said:

Tools change over time. How is this different from the introduction of the calculator, or statistical software, Matlab, or Mathematica? Sure, you can do all that math by hand with pencil and paper, like it was done before the age of the computer, but if you spend time doing that, you won’t have...

Thanks for a great collection of tips in one place. I’m genuinely curious though… does anyone really know for sure if adjusting the privacy and telemetry settings does what we’d expect? Or are they just flarp switches? What else is being sent that doesn’t have an option?

afidel: I've done that, it doesn't work. Searchy: I had no idea what icacls was, where to get it, or how to use it, but after some more extensive Googling I think I have things patched up now. So, thanks for the lead!

I'm looking for a way to avoid spending the next year taking ownership of thousands of files one at a time... for some reason, Windows can't change them in bulk. I am in desperate need of your expert mojo help! Here's the story: I upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 by buying a new hard drive...

The first stock HSF install was with the stock thermal goo pre-"inked" on the copper cooler core. I noted on removing the stock HSF the first time that the compound had spread out to cover the entire circle evenly, so I didn't suspect poor mounting/contact. The second stock HSF mounting attempt...

Is low 60s under full load still considered hot? I'm not above being wrong, but I'm inclined not to think I messed up the installation three times in a row... but you tell me: I did harf on those pins until I got a click out of each one, every time. My thumbs hurt afterward, with little arrow...

OK, I installed a ZeroTherm CORE92, and temps are now in the low 60s. Nothing changed but the cooler. Maybe I got a bum stock HSF. :-( But, glad my cores are nice and cool now. :-)

Thanks for the thoughts. Yes, I am sure I did not switch the scales (note "maximum" area): TJMax is allegedly 99C. Short of reseating *again*, what could be the issue if that doesn't resolve the problem? I was thinking of switching to a ZeroTherm Core92 cooler in the hopes that would help.

Looking for advice and direction here, folks... I just put an i7-860 on to a Gigabyte P55A-UD4P and left everything stock speed and settings to see where the baselines were. Things looked to be running a little hot, so I opened up the case, set up a big room fan to blow on the guts of the mobo...

The frequency perceived by a listener listening to something going by follows a sine-wave pattern. As the sound emitter reaches its closes point to the listener, the rate of change of the frequency is at its maximimum. The approach and departure produce a shift which varies at a rate...
