If you're outside the US, or where more people use Samsung devices, Samsung Smarttags could be a better choice.

SmartTube is more optimized for TV: https://github.com/yuliskov/smarttube

Give it a try.

Aw shucks...

For now I just have to remember not to automatically click on IG links. Need to copy and clean it up first 😔

Thanks.

I wasn't aware of this. Is there any way to turn it off? Thanks

I'm aware. So even though I have to use them, I try to limit trackings as much as I can.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've done that. That's the issue.

 

Possibly another scummy behavior from fucking Meta.

So I try my best to avoid url tracking. I set the default browser on my android phone to this app: https://github.com/TrianguloY/UrlChecker

I also made sure to turn off the "Open supported links" settings from aps like Instagram.

So usually, if someone shares Instagram links to WhatsApp, usually with the url tracking, I can clean them up first using UrlChecker before opening it in Instagram app.

Recently I noticed if I tap on Instagram links, WhatsApp will immediately open it in Instagram, ignoring Android's default browser setting to open the link with UrlChecker first.

I thought something was broken, but if I open non-instagram links, those will open UrlChecker app.

Can you please help check if the behavior is the same on your side? So I can be sure that I'm not crazy. Thanks!

What about preserving languages that are close to extinct, but still have language data available? Can LLMs help in this case?

 

Sadly, I can't seem to find the full, non paywalled version of the article ._.

While whether LLMs are intelligent or not is still hotly debated. I think the author's thoughts are very interesting.

This is crazy to me. You can read in a stream of meaningless numbers (tokens) and incidentally build a reasonably accurate model of the real things those tokens represent.

The implications are vast. We may be able to translate between languages that have never had a “Rosetta Stone”. Any animals that have a true language could have it decoded. And while an LLM that’s gotten an 8 year old’s understanding of balancing assorted items isn’t that useful, an LLM that’s got a baby whale’s grasp on whale language would be revolutionary.
