No, it's not your fault.

Yes, there's a challenge for you: love yourself first. Sounds like a cliche but is the sheer truth (if I am correctly interpreting we are alike)

Take this time "alone" as the opportunity it is, to connect with yourself. There's so much love that you can give... Make it yours.

A better partner will come when you may not even be looking for one. Do what you love, and they'll be there awaiting for you in that bright (but now uncertain) future!!

    This is right on time. I read a discussion on how "Chinese models" are censored on topics like Tiannamen square. But the real issue is that we (average person) are only able to spot such things from a distance (either geographical or temporal.)

    This means that "our" models may already have blindspots, reality twists, and the like. Only that we are not (on average) spotting it (yet)

    Personalization of answers and bubble reinforcement will come. The algorithms have been increasing their capacity to influence us. Not only for their sheer power solving benchmarks but by the legitimacy that's being accumulated in the process.

    However,

    I liked piefed until I learnt about the hidden filters. But still, I see their point. There are dozens of lefties here! Dozens!!

    Edit: thanks rimu for your reply. I was unaware of that post. Piefed is my fav again :) Somehow I was under the impression that piracy comms were banned.

    Nuru? They renamed postmarketOS just a few days ago, can't remember how's called now. But it's compatible with non-flagship devices. Else you're into other OSes that are trying to be competitive in this ecocidal market ;•\

    [...] We should heed the wisdom of the late Carl Sagan that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence: the claims from Coxon and his ilk are the most extraordinary a technologist can make, and we must demand evidence commensurate with the claims. That said, we should not expect the public to understand LLMs, critical infrastructure, bioweapons, extinction biology, etc. — that burden must lie with those making the claim. The lesson that I learned (shamefully) decades ago is that domain experts, by way of their expertise, implicitly hold the public’s trust — and we must not abuse it. It is incumbent upon us to be circumspect in our claims — and maximally so when raising the alarm.

     

    Hallo, ich bereite mich gerade auf die theoretische Führerscheinprüfung vor. Hat jemand vielleicht ein PDF oder ein E-Book? Die Fahrschule hat mir Unterlagen auf Deutsch über eine App geschickt, die ich nicht so einfach übersetzen kann (es wären 300 Screenshots). Deshalb benutze ich für diese Nachricht einen Übersetzer. Die Prüfung selbst werde ich in meiner Muttersprache ablegen. Vielen Dank im Voraus!

     

    Apparently Gemma 4 (by deepmind) are very energy-efficient for their capabilities.

    The post itself seems to recommend a company (neuralwatt.com) but it's unrelated to project wagtail (an open source CMS made with django) so I consider it legit, they're just vouching for this new approach that shows users their ecological footprint basically.

    (Of course, running these at a homelab is possible. hence the relevance of this info for the community)

     

    I've just found the project. And it seems very interesting take. I am adding a link to their blog entry discussion on a system to combat LLMs abuse via a web of trust.

    From their site:

    We envision a place where developers have ownership of their code, communities can freely self-govern and most importantly, coding can be social and fun again.
