Thanks makes more sense! Idk why the downvotes... Because in the case of an offset it would always be wrong and in the case of a speed change.

In the general case, with clock speed a and offset b:

  • a x + b ≡ x (mod 12)
  • a x + b = x + 12k

If a=1, normal speed with offset,

  • b = 12k ≡ 0 (mod 12)

So it works for any multiple of 12h offset (ie no offset)

If a≠1,

  • x = (12k - b)/(a-1)

It isn't always in a day, so you can end up having to wait multiple days for it to be right

Because you're using it wrong. It's good for generative text and chains of thought, not symbolic calculations including math or linguistics

Any reason for thinkpad and pixel?

Instagram announces new video app amid TikTok troubles in c/technology@lemmy.world

Instagram reels are full of unmoderated racist jokes and sexualized content. I hate it, but I am not active enough to diverge it away from that default state

Do you think AI "things" like Midjourney or ChatGPT will have or are already having some kind of "piracy" around them? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] VintageGenious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Jailbreaking LLMs and Diffusers is a thing. But I wouldn't call it piracy

Is there an extensive guide on how to protect kids on the internet? (sh.itjust.works)
 

With the years I learned some rules of behavior on internet, but I wonder if there is some kind of extensive guide for parents who are not experienced with technology.

For example, I don't think content blockers are a good idea for teenagers. It works for kids, but teenagers will find workarounds because parents were lazy about teaching them the dangers and instead used a spyware app.

Here is a bad written list of some obvious rules:

  • Be anonymous
  • Use private social media accounts
  • Do not tell any personal information
  • Use ad blockers
  • Learn to recognize ads
  • Learn to recognize AI generated text and images
  • Learn to recognize scam
  • Understand consent
  • Learn to prevent blackmail
  • Learn to prevent grooming
  • Learn how fake pornography is and the unrespectful content

But I wish there was some kind of step by step guide

Do you pay for some pirated contents (sh.itjust.works)
 

Are there pirated contents that you very like and eventually give money to the creator, and where do you find the creators?
