Disabled babies are expensive to buy individually and the money is better spent lobbying for policies that kill disabled people of all ages in bulk.

He’s definitely up there, or at least used to be. The Cathedral and the Bazaar, his attempt to justify why Linux is more successful than GNU or BSD, used to be very much a part of the open source canon. He cofounded OSI. He forked some POP3 client to make his own bad and insecure one called Fetchmail, then refused to improve it.

Personally I’m happy to know he’s become less relevant nowadays.

It amazes me how well SponsorBlock works and how bad YouTube feels without it. I guess the main downside is that it’s a little harder to tell the good 'toobers with strong moral backbone who don’t shill awful shit in the first place from those whose sponsor segments merely get automatically skipped.

@self@awful.systems I would like to report a bug. Sometimes reading, interacting with, or posting a comment costs several times as much as it does other times. Posting this comment was exactly one million times as expensive as the median of my other comments and reading it will cost as much. Please try and equalize the cost of using this free site so I can continue to afford alcohol.

Oh no you misunderstand. Tankies are hijacking the country code anti-imperialistly.

And so three new Lemmy instances were born.

I am an anti-corpo leftists of Lemmy. I’d like to point out one thing.

We are sure Google will just evaporate tomorrow.

LLMs are quite impressive as chatbots all things considered. The conversations with them are way more realistic and almost as funny as the ones with the IRC markov chain my friend made as a freshman CS student.

Of course, out bot’s training data only included the IRC channel’s logs of a few years and the Finnish Bible we later threw in for shits and giggles. A training set of approximately zero terabytes in total.

LLMs are less a marvel of machine learning algorithms (though I admit they might play a part) and more one of data scraping. Based on their claims, they have already dug through the vast majority of publicly accessible world wide web, so where do you go from there? Sure, there are a lot of books that are not on the web, but feeding them in the machine is about as hard as getting them on the web to begin with.

“Admit” is a strong word, I’d go for “desperately attempt to deny”.
