shit, it’s already been 8 years…

need to be more creative with aliasing than “ls”

soo…is FORTRAN greek? Or phoenecian?

…but what if I pick the one with all the furries? :3

Web 4.0: I can actually safely tip every dude who made a useful video/website 0.01 cents and neither side will have to pay any extra fees so it is actually worth to tip, it will just be p2p money using the processing power of the sender and the receiver without buttcoin vultures trying to fuck with it. That was what web 3.0 was supposed to have been 13 years ago, but between the technical limitations and those web3 shitasses’ greed, we’re left almost where we started…

Thanks, good to be reminded.

But I disagree that all intelligence agencies are the same around the world (or at least how they use the legal system to punish dissent)

If you have equivalent situations in western countries (besides Assange) where people were denied habeas corpus, please share

This is not like reading a book from a library…unless you want to force the LLM to only train one book per day and keep no copies after that day.

Yes, but russians have more ways to deal with spies that are frowned upon in open, democratic societies.

The matter is not LLMs reproducing what they have learned, it is that they didn’t pay for the books they read, like people are supposed to do legally.

This is not about free use, this is about free access, which at the scale of an individual reading books is marketed as “piracy”…at the scale of reading all books known to man…it’s onmipiracy?

We need some kind of deal where commercial LLMs have to pay a rent to a fund that distributes that among creators or remain nonprofit, which is never gonnna happen, because it’ll be a bummer for all the grifters rushing into that industry.

Sometimes it leads me wildly astray when I do that, like a really bad tutor…but it is good if you want a refresher and can spot the bullshit on the side. It is good for spotting things that you didnt know before and can factcheck afterwards.

…but maybe other review papers and textbooks are still better…

they don’t need to, they just need to seize the ground PoPs and block ips to make it unusably slow.

Twitter’s format feels a bit like yelling into the void and waiting for replies…you may luck out and get some engagement from a hub or a small subgraph of the network. Mastodon makes that stronger by removing the algorithm (I’d like there to be a user-customizable feed sort algo by an array of parameters, not sure what the technical limitations to that are: processing, security?)

Comment trees feel better (to me at least), because there is a hierarchical origin, a native indexing by topic>post>comment>countercomment…it sort of resembles how we relate with the world or navigate maps.

Yea, same for the mess with Crowdstrike, there are few failsafes (some plces sorted things in paper), the most important being whatever social goodwill there is between people stick it out and figure the problem out.

Yeah, it’s really disheartening that instead of simply going back 30 years and making them back in a decade or two, we’d probably fall all the way into the 1200s because of all the mass hysteria and chaos.

That’s one of the things I love in lemmy. Moderation transparency.

Hey, neocities is pretty good, I think I’ll try to use chatgpt to get some boilerplate site running and then keep adding to it :)

These sites make me happy https://melonking.net/melon?z=%2Funiverse%2F 😂

Is it as vague as “funds for AI” or cloud computing capacity to keep up with China and the US? Because we could use that in the EU. But who would be operating it, Universities? MIC?

Ok, apparently it wasn’t as gradual as I thought, there was a determining moment in 93-94 with Netscape and HTTPS that made secure transactions possible for e-commerce.
