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.

The article is predicting that smartphones and movie cameras might adopt this.

I didn't remember it well, but after checking it again, the list is actually included in the default filter list. It just needed to be activated if it hasn't. I don't remember the default behavior.

I just double checked, it should be included in the default filter list.

You just need to activate it.

If you use ublock origin, I find add-ons such as ClearURLs to be no longer necessary.

You can just add url tracking filter like this one maintained by adguard to ublock origin: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdguardTeam/FiltersRegistry/master/filters/filter_17_TrackParam/filter.txt

Because url shorteners can be used to hide affiliate links or even malicious URLs.
