Same, really nice distro back then.

Yeah… I’m quickly reaching the point where I’m quicker thinking and writing Python code than even writing the prompts. Let alone the additional time going through the generated stuff to adjust and fix things.

It’s good to get a grip on syntax, terminology and as an overly fancy (but very fast) search bot that can (mostly) apply your question to the very code that’s in front of you, at least in popular languages. But once you got that stuff in your head… I don’t think I’ll bother too much in the future. There surely are tons of useful things you can do with multimodal LLMs, coding on its own properly just isn’t one of it. At least not with the current generation.

Depends on the language I’d assume. The last thing I heard was that the current Codestral version is optimal for Python for example.

Yeah, same with Codestral. You have to tell it what to do very specifically, and once it gets stuck somewhere you have to move to a new session to get rid of the history junk.

Both it and ChatGPT also repeatedly told me to save binary data I wanted to store in memory as a list, with every 1024 bytes being a new entry… in form of a string (supposedly). And the worst thing is that, given the way it extracted that data later on, this unholy implementation from hell would’ve probably even worked up to a certain point.

I mean, it’s good that you do stuff… but seriously guys, how the fuck do you STILL manage to put the economy in first place?

For a moment I wondered why the Rust code was so much more readable than I remembered.

This would make a nice VS Codium plugin to deal with all the visual clutter. I actually like this.

Ah yes, the old “color revolution” nonsense again. Classic Russian propaganda bullshit.

No, he’s part of the US oligarchy. Don’t criticize too much or you might happen to have sudden, unexplainable tech problems and legal trouble. /s

All three browsers recommended are Chromium-based as well, so they’re dependent on Google and have to suffer from the Manifest v3 problem and the necessary manual intervention. Brave even is known for being maintained by a dick. Some of those recommendations are really bad.

Don’t get your second question though. The reasons for non-US should be obvious.

Now if we could just get rid of all those power-hungry dicks who keep poisoning the human spirit, let it be with Capitalism, Maoism, Neoliberalism and whatnot…

Thing is, the concern about RedNote is completely valid. Even if you strip away any overarching US propaganda or whatever, we know that the CCP does really, really shitty things as well and take heavy, manipulative influence (yes yes, the US and its defacto Feudal Lords owning Meta etc. do so too).

I’m just angry people won’t take their time to look into this whole topic and go with more propaganda-resistant, federated alternatives. Not perfect, but better than a centralized service that can be influenced by either China or the US. Or Russia… or literally anyone. So that we can, in the end, just dance to some nice human music.

Instead they’ll become curiosities leading down rabbit holes to understand why and how they happened.

Yes, chromosomes are meaningless to who someone is (except edge-cases).

No, sex and gender aren’t the same.

That’s a chromosome you encoded there which is one of a few markers that define sex, not gender.

Probably to the “oh my god new slang so cringe this youth” crowd. You know, those who always said they’ll never get old and annoying non-understanding adults… and now became exactly that. 😁

Can confirm. Meddled with it a little bit a while ago trying to productively use it to host Lutris installer files. It’s an absolute mess; slow, unreliable, without proper documentation and a really bad default node application.

Also it managed to get our server temporarily banned by the hosting provider since the “sane default settings” includes the node doing a whole sweep of your local subnet on all NICs respectively, knocking at multiple ports of every device it can find. Because the expected environment of a node apparently is your home network… a default setting that caused problems for many people for many years by now.

A project like in this post might benefit from looking at more modern/mature reimplementations of IPFS’ concept, like Veilid (which would also offer additional features as well).

Like every time a country conducts genocide people close their eyes and don’t want to admit that, facing such crimes against humanity, every single Israeli has the duty to do whatever they can to stop their government. No matter if its a Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Jinping, Putin or Netanyahu (or some political conglomerate), and no matter where the injustice and moral corruption began or what once was, the people have to stand up against a corrupt system at that point. Of they don’t they are indeed complicit, every single time.

Personalized propaganda is quite something these days.

The Element Matrix client in a nutshell.

It’s a US “non-profit”. One that demands 19$ per article which they merely provide as aggregator, they don’t own shit.

Utterly absurd.

Wow. So every theatre show of classics like Romeo & Juliet is a degraded experience. I’m not sure Nintendo bosses understand what “art” is.
