I found that surprising too. In the article, they explain that this was on purpose to improve loading times for people on slow HDDs.

You can simply not follow people on Threads and you will have no Threads content in your feed

GitKraken!

I’ve definitely had both. Sometimes the hosts of the actual podcast read an ad using their own voices. In this case everyone gets the same audio file and crowdsourcing the timestamps would work.

For dynamically inserted ads, it will be more complicated. Maybe a system like content id that has a library of known ads and detects them in the audio.

I wonder if something like sponsor block is feasible for podcasts 🤔

This article is full of errors!

At its core, an LLM is a big (“large”) list of phrases and sentences

Definitely not! An LLM is the combination of an architecture and its model parameters. It’s just a bunch of numbers, no list of sentences, no database. (Seems like the author confused the word “LLM” with the dataset of the LLM???)

an LLM is a storage space (“database”) containing as many sample documents as possible

Nope. This applies to the dataset, not the model. I guess you can argue that memorization happens sometimes, so it might have some features of a database. But it isn’t one.

Additional data (like the topic, mood, tone, source, or any number of other ways to categorize the documents) can be provided

LLMs are trained in an unsupervised fashion. Just sequences of tokens, no labels.

Typically, an LLM will cover a single context, e.g. only social media

I’m not aware of any LLM that does this. What’s the “context” of GPT-4?

software developers have gone to great lengths to collect an unfathomable number of sample texts and meticulously categorize those samples in as many ways as possible

The closest real thing is the RLHF process that is used to fine tune an existing LLM for a specific application (like ChatGPT). The dataset for the LLM is not annotated or categorized in any way.

a GPT uses the words and proximity data stored in LLMs

This is confusing. “GPT” is the architecture of the LLM.

it is impossible for it to create something never seen before

This isn’t accurate, depending on the temperature setting, an LLM can output literally any word at any time with a non-zero probability. It can absolutely produce things it hasn’t seen.

Also I think it’s too simple to just assert that LLMs are not intelligent. It mostly depends on your definition of intelligence and there are lots of philosophical discussions to be had (see also the AI effect).

I don’t know how this is good for gamers, it would be the end of perpetual licenses. Every company would move to subscription services immediately.

The active users have more than halved since July

I wouldn’t read too much into this, it was a chaotic time, many people tried lots of different things, some created multiple accounts etc. It is completely expected that some try the website and leave again. The growth is still impressive and I expect Lemmy to continue to grow, just because it’s the better service.

Why is it stupid to enjoy Star Citizen?

It’s so frustrating to see people in this thread posting objectively false statements about SC. Yes, it’s behind schedule and yes it suffers from scope creep. But it’s not a scam and it’s not vaporware. People who give them money know exactly what they are getting into. You can buy a ship now and fly it immediately. You can spend hundreds of hours in the game in it’s current state. Even pointing out that it’s playable gets downvotes.

Why is it so hard for people to imagine that there are players who like the game as it is and see value in buying ships? After 10 years of development, people have a pretty good idea of what they are getting into.

This is just debating definitions. They release playable builds regularly but it’s still in alpha.

It would be cool if I could tell it which instance I’m on and then have it change the links to the Lemmy communities so that they are being accessed from my instance. This makes it much easier to interact and subscribe.

Thank you for this tool!

I was looking for something like this! Am I using it wrong or does it only have 7 entries at the moment?

Edit: 24 hours later it’s gone from 7 entries to 60+ pages. Exciting!

Anyway, it would be cool to have a feature where I can paste a list of subreddits and get a list of matching lemmy communities (where available).

I think the photo thing was fixed recently. Boost is amazing btw, except for the lack of clickable communities.

I assume these would be credentials in the training data, not something it got from other ChatGPT users?

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t remember conversations from other users (or even your own). That’s just not how it works.

Not sure if you realize it, but you’re exactly proving the point of this thread. It comes of as condescending that you assume someone must be uninformed because they don’t agree with you.

are you OP or Someone Else? 🤔

I didn’t see that this was referring to multiplayer. In that case it makes sense.
