This mindset is the entire problem. “Oh we don’t need to worry about ethics or morals, just efficiency” is exactly the issue with every pro-AI argument and every pro-capatalism argument. Its the issue with our governments, with investing, with corporations.

I say fuck anyone who argues ethics is not important when talking about efficacy. Fuck that mindset and fuck AI.

They don’t, but having one to hold in my hand, I can tell you that they are the same thickness as a gameboy but half as wide. Plenty of room for a battery and screen if you were to repack one into something as big as the original gameboy.

Zimaboards are about the size of a gameboy, a bit smaller.

Those are x86

Yes 3 minutes is short.

Your attention span would need to be fairly damaged to consider this long, and this is coming from an AuDHD person.

I’d rather have a raw binary like what Godot puts out.

I mean… Its a known good flavour. Exhibit A:

Raspberry can work with coffee IF you add cocoa, similarly I would imagine orange would do better with some chocolate as well.

Pain is a signal that a life form has been damaged. I should think that most if not all multicellular life forms have some method of detecting when they are damaged or dying, else their survival would be highly unlikely.

What I don’t fathom is why some scientists do not approach all life on earth with basic assumptions of self-preserving behaviour and the implications therein.

A creature does not need to be able to point at you and go “ooga booga” to have feelings.

Nextcloud Talk would have been a better candidate

I had a French press, loved it. But when it broke I bought an Aeropress Travel edition for $50 and I’ve had it 4 years now. Goes on long drives and camping trips. Bought a Jackery battery for my CPAP that’s strong enough to run a small kettle, and now I can make a cup while checking out a view.

Coupled it with a Timemore S3 for quick, easy and quiet grinds.

Strange. I never see that on Lineage, didn’t see it on e/OS either.

I do recall that behaviour on Graphene, but its been a couple of years since I had a pixel. Figured that was just an old version of the app.

All I can say is, https://droidify.app/

Once I installed it, I never used the official Fdroid store on any device again.

I hate to admit this, but it is about money. Canada at least will not allow Americans to immigrate unless they have enough savings to live for two years with no supports.

Its going to take at least 50 years of good faith, and I wish you good fucking luck with the insane 4 year flip flop political bias your country has.

We Canadians have been scratching our heads over the course of your increasing instability for 20 years, and we aren’t going to forget that over night.

Trump is a sign that the political landscape in the US is so unstable that nothing promised by any political figure can be trusted by your allies.

Only a foolish nation forgets that overnight. We won’t.

Grab two large USB hard drives, have an rsync job to them, switch them out weekly and store the one that is not in use offsite. If you don’t have someone that’s a trustworthy a reasonable distance away, you can just use a storage locker.

This.

Please consider supporting anyone but Microsoft. Theres Luanti, but I would also highly recommend Vintage Story, its made by ex Minecraft modders who decided to build a better engine.

In many countries it is legal to promise a tax rebate when you are in office. Many cons (oops, I mean conservatives) use this as voting bait for people with no critical thinking skills, and then turn around and give their corporate masters and billionaires huge tax cuts that make those same voters loose critical services that makw them pay out of pocket.

In other words, “Heres $200 to vote for me so i can make your life way more expensive on a yearly basis through medical care, less regulation, less infrastructure repair”.

This is the same grift, but more blatant and obviously something that would never get fulfilled, which is why the number is so big. Bigger numbers make critical thinking fail harder, especially when times are economically tough. It tends to get cons reelected even when they are not doing well in polls, speaking from the Canadian experience in this.

Matrix is the proper space for a privacy focused community. Discord as an application is privacy invasive and requires ID to be provided. This has nothing to do with a public community not being private. It’s the wrong technology choice for what they claim to be focused on and there is no getting around that.

I mean, see where you’re going there. Bread may be a bad example because I can get sliced bread from a local or regional producer that is more conscientious. If any billionaire is pushing me to buy sliced bread its going to be some mass produced crap like Dempsters that I would never buy anyway because I do not support corporate food where I can avoid it as I’ve lived through enough mini crises in the last 30 years to have learned the hard way that when things get tough, its the local and regional creators that keep things on the shelf.

AI however, is only good in the older forms where models were made to do one thing and do it well with reasonable levels of compute. Those were sustanable. LLMs, no matter where you run them, cost disgusting amounts of compute to train and no matter how well you train them will only evey have a statistical chance of being right, and they will never have 100% accuracy without throwing even more power at them.

And, LLMs will never reach AGI. If we want something that really mimics humans, then what we need are many tiny, efficiently trained models for specific tasks with high accuracy, and then interface between all those skills with a very accurate task comprehension model, and then maybe we will get to AGI, because this is basically how humans work.

I still maintain that LLMs are the wrong tech, at the wrong time, and the only thing their proliferation is being pushed for is their questionable capability to enable ths surveillance state we were warned against for the last 40-50 years in scifi. And the CEOs want this because people are getting more and more fwd up with their shit.

All LLMs will bring the world is misery. There is no acceptable use for them and I am sticking to that line in every product decision these days. They were built on the backs of free content that the world created and a ton of copyrighted work that was just blatantly stolen.
