  • Everything an LLM outputs is a hallucination, and sometimes that hallucination lines up with reality.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • 5 9s means 99.999% uptime, which translates to a site only being down for ~0.86 seconds per day. This is the golden standard for online services

  • Intelligence is knowing tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

  • I can't seem to find any information on it, but how hard would if be to host your own Bridgy Fed? I feel a tool like this would ideally be decentralized.

  • This has happened so many times it must be on purpose. Something like those who come back are likely to be more desperate than those who decide to leave and therefore less likely to get in their way.

  • Here's my list, included snippets of their own youtube descriptions.

    Angela Collier theoretical physicist.

    Andrew Millison is a permaculture teacher and practitioner.

    Climate Town Rollie Williams and a ragtag team of climate communicators, creatives and comedians are here to examine climate change in a way that doesn’t make you want to eat a cyanide pill. Get informed about the climate crisis before the weather does it for you.

    Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't A Low-Brow, Crass Approach to Plant Ecology & Evolution as muttered by a Misanthropic Chicago Italian. We study plants through the lens of ecology and evolution, rather than what supposed anthropocentric uses they can provide (as if holding up the biosphere wasn't enough).

    Dr Fatima i went to grad school and all i got was this lousy understanding of systemic problems in science.

    Meditations for the anxious mind

    Noah Daniel interior & spatial design

    Stewart Hicks Takes on Buildings and Cities.

  • Communism

  • Some examples in the book include the Wendat people and Teotihuacan. You can also check out the book's wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dawn_of_Everything.

    One of the core conclusions of the book that you may find interesting (quote from the wiki):

    Based on their accumulated discussions, the authors conclude by proposing a reframing of the central questions of human history. Instead of the origins of inequality, they suggest that our central dilemma is the question of how modern societies have lost the qualities of flexibility and political creativity that were once more common.

  • I recommend reading The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber for more details on societal structures of the past

  • Organic Maps gets their map data from OpenStreetMap (OSM). All OSM stuff is open source and the data is entered in by volunteers. If your area doesn't have much yet, you should consider being the change by adding your favorite spots!

    Other people have mentioned things like StreetComplete, which is an app that helps you fill in the gaps of some OSM data.

  • and if you account for taxation it'll be even less

  • don't worry, there's a lot of men that get fucked too

  • companies are capable of operating under different rules in different jurisdictions, they do it all the time. just look at how they handle data in EU due to GDPR vs how they do it everywhere else. I don't see why this case would be much different.

  • ok but I'm not in the EU nor is my instance so that doesn't really apply to me.

  • yeah, I see them being posted into their DB (and therefore federated as) a post as if they are a user. they can earmark that post as an ad and properly present it as such in their own platform but anyone federated would see the post as-is.

    they could either obfuscate how they mark it as an ad or just not provide that information at all to federating instances.

    then I can totally see them claiming they don't control other instances and can't be responsible for whether or not the federated ads are presented as such.

  • they technically could do this by representing ads with posts.

  • Rule

  • I think you're still right though. regardless of the situation with HP, he still created a company that, when sold, made him a billionaire. I don't think that is possible without also exploiting people.

    There’s a deeper problem hiding beneath global warming - waste heat

    TL;DR

    using/generating energy always emits heat as waste and there is an upper limit of efficiency that we are not that far from. if that energy was generated via something that is not a natural heat gradient for the earth's surface there is a net increase of heat in the earth system simply by generating and using energy.

    a lot of energy sources fall into this: fossil fuel, nuclear, geothermal, etc. two that don't are (certain types of) solar and wind, since their energy would eventually be dissipated onto earth's surface whether we intercept or not.

    that waste heat is currently estimated to be ~2% of the heating power caused by global warming, so already significant. we essentially have an upper limit on sustainable energy usage on earth (and therefore an avg per person usage) or we will have Global Warming 2: Waste Heat Boogaloo.
