I cannot read the article, but a part of me wishes that the USA forces Europe to become more indipendent.

Huawei was cut off with all the tariffs and was hit hard, but now they came back stronger than before, and this time around USA cannot hit them anymore:

Also I drive a van and I think it’s cool since obviously I’m cool and so my car kinda has to be, too, so I’m not sure if I agree with your first point

sorry, my mistakes. Vans can be absolutely cool. I think the electric one from VW is extremely cool. It’s just not the kind of cool that people with fragile masculinity would desire

In Copenhagen, meteorologists predict the city will receive 30% more rainfall by the end of this century.

Oh shit

EuroNCAP suggested to try to change something, apparently they are not catching in their test, but they acknowledge the issue

https://etsc.eu/calls-grow-to-address-safety-risks-of-large-vehicles-in-urban-areas/

Euro NCAP calls upon the vehicle industry to improve the vehicle crash compatibility of future models and not to accept settling for the status quo. It believes Mobile Progressive Deformable Barrier testing can help manufacturers engineer their cars and vans to better protect occupants in the event of a head-on collision

But is it an unethical car? It fits a lot of stuff or a lot of people or a fair amount of both, but I guess the same thing is true for the f150. Visibility is much better I guess, but would pick ups be more moral if they had a lower hood?

some thoughts about your post

• nobody would buy a van if not in need, because it’s not cool, it costs more etc. So you would end up having less big vehicles on the road. There is no need to regulate too much something that is numerically not important
• the hood height for the van is lower and visibility is better: you can find a lot of studies that connect the former with less killings and less serious injuries and the latter with less collisions, so definitely less dangerous
• i actually think that if pickups had lower hoods, they would be more moral, yes, because they would be less dangerous. (see above)

Slow down your love: this is just a proposal from a bunch of associations. On the other side there are car industry lobbies and their enormous profit margins, which are particularly strong. Let’s see what happens

Lemuroid emulator + apotris is the best (FOSS) tetris replacement on Android

Very cool!

I’m wondering how long until Bluesky locks down its users

Even if LLM “neurons” and their interconnections are modeled to the biological ones, LLMs aren’t modeled on human brain, where a lot is not understood.

The first thing is that how the neurons are organized is completely different. Think about the cortex and the transformer.

Second is the learning process. Nowhere close.

The fact explained in the article about how we do math, through logical steps while LLMs use resemblance is a small but meaningful example. And it also shows that you can see how LLMs work, it’s just very difficult

Yes, that’s it. I added the link in the OP,

Very arrogant answer. Good that you have intuition, but the article is serious, especially given how LLMs are used today. The link to it is in the OP now, but I guess you already know everything…

Thank you. I found the article, linkin the OP

Oh wow thank you! That’s it!

I didn’t even remember now good this article was and how many experiments it collected

I’m aware of this and agree but:

• I see that asking how an LLM got to their answers as a “proof” of sound reasoning has become common

• this new trend of “reasoning” models, where an internal conversation is shown in all its steps, seems to be based on this assumption of trustable train of thoughts. And given the simple experiment I mentioned, it is extremely dangerous and misleading

• take a look at this video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Xx4Tpsk_fnM : everything is based on observing and directing this internal reasoning, and these guys are computer scientists. How can they trust this?

So having a good written article at hand is a good idea imho

Woah, I think you catchet the biggest problem I have with it immediatly. I’m thinjking of opening an issue maybe?

We both know that is not how this should work. If everybody joins the same instance

But this doesn’t happen. Mastodon.social is far from 90%, and the former CEO made the choice of letting control go to an entity that is no-profit, I think it’s the right choice.

• The casual user joins mastodon.social (default highlighted choice). He can enjoy the Fediverse and discover its complexity with experience, not by understanding everything in advance.
  • He can the move to another instance if he feels so, after undetstanding what this actually means
• The more advanced user probably already knows the instance thing, and maybe doesn’t even use the offical app

I’m not sure, but i guess that it is replicating Twitter behaviour. I got used to that quickly.

But if you want a better experience you can easily find other front ends. I strongly suggest Phanpy that makes it really clear when a toot is part of a conversation/thread. It also does a lot of nice things like grouping boosts in horizontal carousels, collapsing long threads to avoid occpying the too many screens, and others, but it is still simple

I think your steps from 2 to 8 are summed up in

Create an account. Just like Twitter (or any other social media).

Meaning that those are not any different than what you need to do in Twitter or facebook. Actually the consents you need and the app permissions are much simpler in Mastodon case

By the way I think the communication can be much simpler:

How do I use Mastodon?

• Download the Mastodon app from the Apple app store or Play store.

• Create an account (just like Twitter or any other social media)

• Follow people, and get posting.

Why do tech journalists say it’s too confusing to catch on?

I have no fucking idea.
