It’s a library for detecting which character encoding a string is encoded with.

Here are the docs for the vibe-coded rewrite, and here is the version before it.

The new vibe-coded version also adds language detection; it isn’t clear to me why the current version of the readme shows it classifying the string "It’s a lovely day — let’s grab coffee." as Spanish with 99% confidence, without any comment in the docs about that being a misclassification, but I guess that if the LLM-authored program says it is then that must be one of those phrases that looks the same in Spanish as in English 👀

is it time for a Windows edition of the classic Jamiroquai sound meme?

alias thanks="You are most welcomed"

you need to use the echo command if you want to echo something:

alias thanks="echo 'You are most welcomed'"

(the inner single-quotes are not strictly required in this case, but recommended nonetheless)

maybe it would be better to say that it is stochastically accurate?

also btw icymi, this is a post about LLMs

i think i get Candand (what some Barnes & Noble spam once rendered C++ as?) but, what is borsuk language?

💯

hopefully a FOSS organization will hire the person who made this

Reputable news source “GLOBAL FACTZ”

😂

Fwiw, before reposting this meme, I actually checked to make sure that the underlying “weird news” story here was not solely reported by random clickbait fake news sites but was also covered by an actual news organization.

anyone who objects to mass surveillance obviously hates puppies

a wifi access point that gets online via a cellular network is called a mobile hotspot, regardless of if it’s running on a phone or a dedicated router device

huh? mobile hotspot is double-bad

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Metro_Surge is (according to DHS) “the largest immigration enforcement operation ever carried out”

A cascade of satellite collisions is called Kessler syndrome and the risk of it happening is rapidly increasing due to megaconstellations like Starlink:

Here we propose a new metric, the CRASH Clock, that measures such stress in terms of the timescale for a possible catastrophic collision to occur if there are no satellite manoeuvres or there is a severe loss in situational awareness. Our calculations show the CRASH Clock is currently 5.5 days, which suggests there is limited time to recover from a wide-spread disruptive event, such as a solar storm. This is in stark contrast to the pre-megaconstellation era: in 2018, the CRASH Clock was 164 days.

Kessler syndrome could be a solution to the Fermi paradox.

Not sure what you are saying. With the order of the meme reversed it doesn’t make it obvious which point is supposed the clearer point of view…

It isn’t reversed compared to how this meme format is usually used: the glasses-on image is on the bottom, and associated with the viewpoint OP is saying is correct/better.

If one hasn’t seen (or has forgotten) the film, this is the way that makes sense, since glasses (generally) improve the wearer’s vision.

This meme’s canonical format is however in fact at odds with the actual scene in the 2002 film:

A related meme form which doesn’t have this ambiguity is the much older they live sunglasses - here the position of the two images are used less consistently (though as with peter parker, usually glasses-on is the lower one) but the glasses being on showing the truth actually fits with how it is in the film.
