Is telling a model to "not hallucinate" absurd?

Can you tell an LLM "don't hallucinate" and expect it to work? my gut reaction was "oh this is so silly" but upon some reflection, it really isn't. There is actually no reason why it shouldn't work, especially if it was preference-fine-tuned on instructions with "don't hallucinate" in them, and if it a recent commercial model, it likely was.

What does an LLM need in order to follow an instruction? It needs two things:

1. an ability to perform then task. Something in its parameters/mechanism should be indicative of the task objective, in a way that can be influenced. (In our case, it should "know" when it hallucinates, and/or should be able to change or adapt its behavior to reduce the chance of hallucinations.)
2. an ability to ground the instruction: the model should be able to associate the requested behavior with its parameters/mechanisms. (In our case, the model should associate "don't hallucinate" with the behavior related to 1).

Just F-ing Ping

Because sometimes you just want to f-ing ping!

Modern browsers, believing they are being clever, hide the protocol in the URL bar.

However, even if you only select the hostname, when you paste that URL into your terminal, you will encounter the following:

    This can include:
     * input parameters names and effective values
     * output parameters (if they were modified by the function)

Edit 🎉

All packages, except for Tini have been added to termux-root. To install them, simply pkg install root-repo && pkg install docker. This will install the whole docker suite, left only Tini to be compiled manually.
