Holy shit I’m so old 😭
Yeah I know, that’s why I’m telling you now which door was picked (door #1 according to the caption on the Wikipedia page I stole borrowed this image from) 🙂
In search of a new car, the player chooses a door, say 1. The game host then opens one of the other doors, say 3, to reveal a goat and offers to let the player switch from door 1 to door 2.
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity
Emphasis mine. Incompetence on Microsoft’s part is not an adequate explanation for this latest action matching a pattern of other actions designed to antagonize FOSS users.
Lol I was thinking more like
Ⓐ
L O V E
or
L O V E
Ⓐ
Although maybe L Ⓐ V Ⓔ could work with a thin A + thick circle (Ⓔ is for egalitarianism)
I mean if we slap an Ⓐ in there that would be pretty based
Honest question: Why does it matter if he’s a transphobe when choosing which Fediverse software to use?
A great example of (2) is the fate of PolyMC. Thankfully, the other developers forked it into Prism, but transphobia put that whole project in jeopardy for a bit.
The software is FOSS and anyone can make their own instance.
IMO that’s why I’m not immediately dropping my account and running for the hills, but it’s still not good. Most people don’t have the technical skills or the interest in learning them to run their own instance.
I really want to understand what I might be missing.
IMO it’s that even though he does not personally control how Lemmy instances are run, and even though we do have a good degree of robustness to transphobia because the software is FOSS, it is still both morally and technically ill-advised to have a transphobe at the helm of an open-source software project.
To the spiders in my house: yes I want you to build webs and catch critters. Yes, you can use my house. But like, can you not put it in places I typically walk? Please? I don’t want to destroy your houses but I literally can’t see them.
Nah it’s cease, e.g. “The IRS made my money cease to be my money.”
Aaand it’s been fixed as of 52 minutes ago. Bravo!
To understand memes
To those on the other side, they think we mean “Get rid of all police, zero funding, go away”
It was literally “abolish the police”, but the shitlibs watered it down to nothing as usual.
It can use ChatGPT I believe, or you could use a local GPT or several other LLM architectures.
GPTs are trained by “trying to fill in the next word”, or more simply could be described as a “spicy autocomplete”, whereas BERTs try to “fill in the blanks”. So it might be worth looking into other LLM architectures if you’re not in the market for an autocomplete.
Personally, I’m going to look into this. Also it would furnish a good excuse to learn about Docker and how SearXNG works.
LLMs are not necessarily evil. This project seems to be free and open source, and it allows you to run everything locally. Obviously this doesn’t solve everything (e.g., the environmental impact of training, systemic bias learned from datasets, usually the weights themselves are derived from questionably collected datasets), but it seems like it’s worth keeping an eye on.
Google using ai, everyone hates it
Because Google has a long history of doing the worst shit imaginable with technology immediately. Google (and other corporations) must be viewed with extra suspicion compared to any other group or individual because they are known to be the worst and most likely people to abuse technology.
Literally if Google does literally anything, it sucks by default and it’s going to take a lot more proof to convince me otherwise for a given Google product. Same goes for Meta, Apple, and any other corporations.
If that happens then I swear to fucking God I’m done with YouTube forever.
Edit: i.e. if it breaks FreeTube, Invidious, Sponsorblock, etc. (because I’m already done with the main site forever) then I’m out. If the choice is between content vs no ads, I’ll take no ads even if it means no content.
Last panel should be the entire US Customary System, which is literally just a rescaling of the SI (“metric” system) units. US Customary is derived directly from SI.
By Betteridge’s law, the answer is no.
On a serious note, to the people who own these kinds of websites: find a more ethical way to make your money or go the fuck out of business.
