I recently launched one of my small side projects. It's quick online multiple choice code tests aimed at recruiters to evaluate applicants: https://hashtagcode.io
The goal was to make a simple way for recruiters to create coding tests to screen people applying for jobs, and to make the process quick and easy for applicants. The default is a 15 minute multiple choice test across a few different domains.
I will eventually monetise it (when I have more free time) but for now it's free (1000 invites) so I can get feedback and improve it
The "MechaHitler" things is particularly obvious in my opinion, it aligns so closely to Musk's weird trying-to-be-funny thing that he does.
There's basically no way an LLM would come up with a name for itself that it consistently uses unless it's extensively referred to by that name in the training data (which is almost definitely not the case here for public data since I doubt anyone on Earth has ever referred to Grok as "MechaHitler" prior to now) or it's added in some kind of extra system prompt. The name seems very obviously intentional.
Grok was just repeating and expanding on things. Someone either said MechaHitler or mentioned Wolfenstein. If Grok searches Yandex and X, he's going to get quite a lot of crazy ideas. Someone tricked him with a fake article of a woman with a Jewish name saying bad things about flood victims.
> the report shows X’s dedication to content moderation by suspending millions of accounts and removing harmful posts, which could potentially help rebuild trust among users concerned with safety and dangerous behavior. On the other hand, this increased moderation contradicts Musk’s earlier promise of promoting free speech, something he has been very vocal about, potentially alienating users who see X becoming more restrictive.
Regulation is definitely the big stopper in most of the EU. Here in Czech Republic it would be incredibly difficult to open anything like this.
I almost opened a cafe/bar a couple years back, I even had a reservation deposit on a location, had the money to renovate it, had money put aside for it to fully fund the rent and utilities and staff for a year, but in the end I scrapped the idea because of the bureaucracy.
I needed: a hospitality trade license , a certificate from the inspectors for food hygiene and public health, a certificate for fire/gas/electrical safety, registration with the customs office, staff needed to do training for food handling, and I needed to register the kitchen with the regional hygiene office. It's not unreasonable, but it's a lot of bureaucracy for something I wanted to do as a fun side project
I've had a time limit set on my phone for twitter + instagram to only allow 15 minutes of usage per day. There's an "ignore limit" button when you go over the time but it's surprising how few times I've actually pressed it. 99% of the time I go "yep, that's enough of that for today" and close the app
Difference is if it's used commercially or not. Me singing my favourite song at karaoke is fine, but me recording that and releasing it on Spotify is not
I witnessed this first hand this spring when a pair of magpies were building a nest in the tree outside my apartment. The tree still didn't have leaves so I could track the progress they made each day. They had a least a couple of anti-bird spikes in their construction (amongst other non-organic materials I couldn't quite make out), but the thing I was most surprised by was the size of the nest, it was huge
Who cares if others think it's a midlife crisis, do what makes you happy. I'm nearing 40 and still get a couple tattoos a year. I love the feeling of a new tattoo, it boosts my confidence and gives me a sense of accomplishment for sitting through the fairly painful process.
Exactly. Part of the fun of tattoos is everyone thinking you look stupid and being able to practice the stoicism of not caring what other people think and focusing on the intrinsic joy of doing what you want.
