Primes are actually useful…

With only a phone, an app, and a radio you get a radio!

Yes it is, federation work is ongoing. I think stars are in beta.

Will that be before or after the metaverse arrives?

I have not seen quadlets before, that’s really neat.

Finding a thing that worked for you is great, but that does not make you an expert in that thing or qualified to give advice to other people about it.

Because people need stable incomes and healthcare, so they start applying for jobs and get them. People aren’t quitting to be unemployed.

From the linked discussion it looks like there’s a new feature rolling out where mods can activate “automatic ban evasion protection” during a ban. Mods don’t get given any additional info about the user but it gets set up automatically on the back end.

I have the exact same setup. It works perfectly and integrates really well into home assistant if that’s your thing. Getting a coral TPU also makes object detection really easy even on low power hardware.

The concept as I understand it is that Threads has the sheer volume of content to completely drown out the existing Fedi content if it fully opens the floodgates. If that occurs and say 90% of content becomes Threads and then they start making Threads only extensions to Activity Pub, servers will have to start patching those in and the Activity Pub project is defacto owned by Meta.

People also have issues with the Meta content moderation and the population on Threads, but as you noted that’s fixable on an individual and community level. The existential threat to the future of the Fediverse is why servers should defederate. Meta can’t and shouldn’t be trusted with any amount of power over this community project.

I tried for a while fighting in my local facebook groups, but it just served to make me mad and didn’t put a dent in the constant barrage of nonsense. I started blocking them all and finally just stopped using facebook entirely.

It’s sad since those are really the only online groups for my town. I just have no interest in engaging in the local community now.

Re-manifested? To fix it you have to reenable manifest v2. That should be simple for a while but will get more problematic over time.

That’s what this is about… Continual training of new models is becoming difficult because there’s so much generated content flooding data sets. They don’t become biased or overly refined, they stop producing output that resembles human text.

Doing good work takes time to make money, execs need those quarterly bonuses right now. Much easier to do a bunch of layoffs and get that line up now.

And if you overthrew the ruling class, you’d still want to know how the new system was affecting various demographics. All systems have biases and the only way to account for them is to know about them.

These types of figures are still important to know. You want to see if certain populations are being affected disproportionately and have a baseline to work from when seeing how policy changes are working.

If you make a policy change and see recovery overall but you’re still getting 52% of Latinos reporting insecurity, you’ve done something wrong and you have data to back it up.

The potential for distros optimized for specific tasks without needing to swap out entire kernels. A “gaming” focused scheduler probably looks different from a big data cruncher or a super multi-tasker server.

What’s funny is right at launch I would have seriously considered upgrading, but I’m on second gen Ryzen and that platform was deemed not new enough at the time. Now they’ve added a bunch of BS and even though I think they’ve removed the restriction I’m over the new shiny thing and am looking heavily into a full linux setup.

This is legal vs rude. It certainly is legal and was in the terms of service for them to use the data in any way they see fit. But, also it’s rude to bait and switch from being a message board to being an AI data source company. Users we led to believe they were entering into an agreement with one type of company and are now in an agreement with a totally different one.

You can smugly tell people they shouldn’t have made that decision 15 years ago when they started, but a little empathy is also cool.

Additionally: When you owe your entire existence and value to user goodwill it might not be a great idea to be rude to them.

I can only really speak to reddit, but I think this applies to all of the user generated content websites. The original premise, that everyone agreed to, was the site provides a space and some tools and users provide content to fill it. As information gets added, it becomes a valuable resource for everyone. Ads and other revenue streams become a necessary evil in all this, but overall directly support the core use case.

Now that content is being packaged into large language models to be either put behind a paywall or packed into other non-freely available services. Since they no longer seem interested in supporting the model we all agreed on, I see no reason to continue adding value and since they provided tools to remove content I may as well use them.
