Depending on how much is “too much power”, people might still want to purchase them at a discount for self-hosting purposes. The future is most likely to go through a decentralization of AI services, with spme higher efficiency large providers, combined with lower efficiency edge nodes for less demanding usage… at least, until the next order of magnitude technological shift.

Counter proposal: dynamic tactile buttons.

The tech already existed in 2013, just develop it further.

Check the history of ReCaptcha: it started by helping digitize booksxfir the Gutenberg Project, then once it got acquired by Google, it switched to house numbers, street signs (auto driving?), and is now helping with object identification.

Strictly speaking, math gets proven from scratch by every math student. Software is slightly different, since most of it never gets a formal proof at all.

Using a complex GPT-4o prompt, they sought to pull out tweets that focused on “superficial topics”

Wait a moment… They asked an LLM, to tell them what was “junk”, and another LLM, trained on what an LLM marked as junk, turned out to be a junk LLM?

It talks about model collapse, but this smells like research collapse.

The problem comes from people responding to them, in communities that are text-first. You can flag a person as a troll… but unless you ban them, then eventually the discussions spill over.

Overwatch doesn’t have that same issue, because text is not at its core; you can mute people, and keep playing the game. Game-disrupting players though, still get banned.

That would work, if it wasn’t individuals who don’t see others as people. The moment someone dehumanizes others, there are dedicated professional who can babysit them back to sanity.

My bad, Kiwix is on IzzyOnDroid. You’re right, F-Droid itself might have a tougher time.

F-Droid does automated patching already, they often remove “anti-features”. The migration is a PITA, but not the end of the world, Kiwix did that recently (split into Play Store and F-Droid versions).

No matter how much epoxy you put on a broken condom, it’s not going to work. The moment ads get sent via the same encrypted “tunnel”/connection as the service, you can no longer separate them at the network level.

Update: I see the issue now.

I don’t see the issue:

1. F-Droid compiles the apps
2. F-Droid publishes the apps
3. F-Droid gets registered
4. F-Droid subclasses app identifiers under its own

…and things go back to normal.

You won’t be able to update an F-Droid app with an Obtainium one, but Android is already warning about those, not allowing automatic updates from mixed sources.

$8.76/kWh is a terrible fucking investment

Not kWh, it says watts not watt-hours.

Still a silly way to refer to computing power, though.

There is a long history of artists "pushing the envelope… by self-deprecating and making “statements” about how ridiculous the market for art is.

You don’t get to shove Dada, a Campbell’s soup can, canned “artist’s shit”, a black square on a canvas, a pile of trash, a shirt on a coat hanger, a self-shredding copy of a graffiti, and thousands of similar examples, all under the same label as the Louvre, illustrators, writers, etc… then magically have people value all artistic work.

There has been continuous, serious, self-damage done to the concept of “art”, and now come the consequences: the general public, thinks the value of art is close to $0, and that’s what they’re willing to pay.

Coincidentally, AI companies allow anyone to get “better than literal shit” art done for $0… so… 🤷

Customer perception of the value of art in general. You don’t get to call it all art, without muddying the perception.

Rule 1 of crypto: “Not your keys, not your money”

There is a reason why cold wallets are a thing.

“artists don’t deserve a living wage” or “they don’t do real art”

Blame the “Modern Art” movement, where a black square, or canned literal shit, can be worth millions.

At some point, people realized that they don’t need real art, just to decorate an office or house space with “artsy looking” stuff, so they went on a chase to the bottom. That used to be random people from third world countries working for peanuts… now it’s LLMs and GenAI working for fractions of peanuts.

Same thing has been going in all areas. Who needs a slab of real ice (from a mountain) for their fridge, when they can get fake ice much easier, for a fraction of the cost.

Appearances, preconceptions, stereotypes… are shortcuts used to deal with complex issues. Since VCs don’t really care about 90% of the startups, they only need to weed out the worst ideas, in the quickest way possible.

Story time: When I was 20, I had some job interviews lined up, so a family friend helped me pick a decent looking suit and robe that weren’t too expensive. Got offered 3 different jobs in a single week 🤷

As long as you can re-disable it after playing the game…

I know, all background processes get impacted during gameplay, but that was the case already. The popup can explain the tradeoff, and who’s to blame (game dev).

The new kernel.split_lock_mitigate knob, if set to zero, will disable the penalization of processes using split locking (while retaining the warning sent to the system log)

Sounds to me like it’s fixed. WINE could follow dmesg, and show a popup with recommendations when it detects one of its processes is getting throttled.
