In computer science, garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) is the concept that flawed, biased or poor quality (“garbage”) information or input produces a result or output of similar (“garbage”) quality. The adage points to the need to improve data quality in, for example, programming.

There was some research article applying this 70s computer science concept to LLMs. It was published in Nature and hit major news outlets. Basically they further trained GPT on its output for a couple generations, until the model degraded terribly. Sounded obvious to me, but seeing it happen on the www is painful nonetheless…

You just mentioned what really is available nowadays. If you could mention an example of a “web interest” that’s not covered, perhaps someone could start it on the tildeverse…

They still store the passwords like that? I remember that quote of Zuckerberg doing so, in the early days, and boasting about it to a friend… This was so outrageous at the time. Now it’s beyond absurdity… Not to mention the fine is so small!

It’s not sexist to credit the french. France is gay. /s

This kind of messages should have a “/s” attached. IMHO, that’s just proper Netiquette.

First post was fun. The pedantic conversation not so much, only a little because the one that comes correcting then it’s shown to be wrong.

I wouldn’t rationalize too much the decisions taken by a huge narcissistic like that guy, Melon Usk…

Been using syncthing with a script on my PC to keep copying stuff on another non synced location in the same filesystem with deduplication enabled (zfs). Technical solution, sadly, not many people are doing it… Btw i use… Xdd

And, chelsea manning. I’d love to see more whistleblowers in the world. That’s the kind of mass sousveillance we need!

It’s difficult to know if this might just be a correlation to age of onset, plus the effect of new project or work. Maybe other graduates of similar careers (i.e. chemists going into big pharma) that doesn’t go into PhD programmes would be a nice control. But there’s no curve there.

Alas, I know academia is difficult. But I wouldn’t dare drawing conclusions without a proper comparison.

Easier? Really?? I disagree. An Ad blocker has 0 cognitive weight, just a few cpu cycles and …voilà! Meanwhile, avoiding the site, to me, means reading a thread on Lemmy without opening the link. Something I do oftentimes, but not always.

If only you had timeshift and a CoW filesystem ;) rollbacks are easy peasy then!

Indeed! Before I was relying on the listing’s of linuxserver.io , yunohost , casa os , etc .

And what was she doing with it? /s

Rainjackets are easy, just any unbreathable plastic works well if it has the zippers well treated. I bought mine at the fan shop from the football club in the city I migrated to. And it’s been keeping me dry on the bike for the last couple of years. Just bought the regenpants and good to go ;)

Mullvad is trustworthy (imho, and because of audits).

Anyway, you can have both, and run purple i2p with blackjack and torrents!

The closest would be a folder, synchronized between phone and computer (e.g. using syncthing) where you save the torrent files. Then the client scans and automatically adds torrents from there. It will remove such files, so while at it, you should also configure to save completed torrent files somewhere. When possible, torrent files are a better option (they bring metadata, required if you ever wanted to re-share some content).

They were cutting files in smaller parts and spreading over multiple locations and countries. At least that was the claim in the early days, so anything illegal would require lawyers on many jurisdictions sending the same letter (e.g. DMCA takedown)

Ironically, it did work but now that Durov is in jail channel admins would do good to take precautions.

Nice write-up. I’d take this as a blueprint. Anyone can swap 3rd-party services to their like (e.g. headscale, xmpp bot on that vps, backblaze s3, etc.) and extend upon (e.g. oidc providers, mailboxes, arr suite, etc.)

A cheap VPS with headscale. Or just ZeroTier.com free plan.
