One of the major problems with LLMs is it’s a “boom”. People are rightfully soured on them as a concept because jackasses trying to make money lie about their capabilities and utility – never mind the ethics of obtaining the datasets used to train them.
They’re absolutely limited, flawed, and there are better solutions for most problems … but beyond the bullshit LLMs are a useful tool for some problems and they’re not going away.
How dare people cope with something horrible by making jokes. Everyone knows it’s impossible to make those jokes while simultaneously being horrified by and pushing back against the thing they’re joking about.
Late teens, maybe early 20s.
How close am I?
Because they’re arguing in bad faith.
They’re not insane: everything they’ve done are things they sincerely thought they could get away with, and up until Ukraine Putin has been correct in that regard.
Pretending to be crazy is an effective strategy: ironically Nixon popularized it during the cold war.
Attacking targets in NATO countries (even if “justified”) is going to drastically increase the odds NATO gets directly involved in Ukraine – something Putin absolutely doesn’t want.
That saying holds more truth if you’re using the “non-political” definitions of conservative – i.e. moderate, cautious, or resistant to change.
Moreso “set in your ways” as the world changes around you.
You know it’s bad when you recognize the user name.
Lemmy has a fair number of loud, toxic instances, communities, and users. On the other hand, it’s easy to block all of them, and it’s practically a requirement to enjoy lemmy.
So block with zero hesitation – the only people that will give you crap about it are the people that are the problem in the first place.
old.reddit.com still works … for now. I deleted my account, but there’s still a few writers on reddit I follow.
I’m running a Venstar Colortouch thermostat. They’re not cheap, but they have a local API and there’s a Homeassistant integration.
The latest lemmy update allows users to block entire instances.
My lemmy experience has been 100 times better with hexbear and lemmygrad blocked.
… I thought Lunix was invented by the infamous Soviet computer hacker Linyos Torovoltos.
I’m not saying this to encourage complacency – too much is at risk. Everyone needs to go out and vote.
But on the other hand: look at how those polls are conducted. The vast majority are cold calls, and what are the demographics of “people who answer calls from unknown numbers in an era of rampant phone scams” these days?
Like my distro?
So a tiara, duster jacket, kilt, one “stiletto pump” shoe, one wellington boot – and a roll’s worth of duck tape. Got it.
I have a question for the group. I do run Linux on a ThinkPad, but it’s Mint/KDE on an X1 carbon I bought new.
My question is: what’s the dress code here? Do I actually need to buy programming socks and a skirt? Can I get away with just wearing ribbed, white athletic socks and cargo shorts? Business casual?
Ah, my mistake
Aren’t morse characters are 1 to 3 taps long?
It is a NSFW instance, so as long as it stays contained there I don’t see the problem.
There are jobs where it’s not feasible or practical to pay an actual human to do.
Human translators exist and are far superior to machine translators. Do you hire one every time you need something translated in a casual setting, or do you use something Google translate? LLMs are the reason modern machine translation is is infinitely better than it was a few years ago.
