Ugh, I’m tired of point 2. Yes, LLMs have found a few patterns in large-scale study analyses that humans hadn’t, but they weren’t deep insights and there had been buried hypotheses around them from existing authors, IIRC (too lazy to source).
I… did not notice the community…
🤓
(Recent Aurora convert here. Always preferred KDE to GNOME, but no shade. All in the family, amiright?)
There needs to be some subset/common theme for the Universal Blue distro family: Aurora, Bazzite, and Bluefin. I am not aesthetically talented enough to come up with such a collection.
Do I spy a Bluefin user?
If China is okay with the sale that means it’s not good for the US. Danger, Will Robinson, danger!
An MP3 isn’t a single FT or DCT of the entire waveform either. The format breaks the stream up into frames, which are then processed.
So when engineers say “it’s a Fourier Transform” they mean:
“It’s a Fourier Transform the same way that we use it in practice which is to first break up the audio in the time domain and then transform each chunk into the frequency domain using a Fourier Transform or Discrete Cosine Transform for analysis of that chunk of audio.”
But it’s quicker to just say “It’s a Fourier Transform”.
For those who don’t know, Bluesky isn’t really federated. The only way to host a non-Bluesky instance required 1TB of storage in July 2024, and 5 TB of storage in Nov 2024. Could be way more than that now.
You basically have to be a company to federate into the ATProto (Bluesky) ecosystem. You can’t just “stand up an instance”.
Lots of detail: https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky/
(I know you’ve already realized that you were conflating Mastodon with Bluesky, I’m putting this here for others who come along so they can get the facts).
Didn’t have to be real, just scary to the powerful.
(Not commenting on truth of whether it happened or not, just a generalization of my observations of the behaviours of the powerful)
There isn’t just one christian god. Who the christan god is depends on which accounts you consider.
It’s easy to read the old testament, read the post-gospel books, listen to the 2000 years of doctrine, and come away with the opinion that the christian god is evil. If you just read the gospels though, and accept that part of the message is: “I’m throwing out the old deal, the new one is Love One Another,” it’s harder to maintain that argument.
I was raised Lutheran, and am currently a philosophical agnostic. I know people who have an internally consistent belief in a good and loving christian god based on how they interpret the entire body of work (they’re well studied). I also believe their definitions of “good” and “loving” would align with yours.
New thought just now:
Sorry for the long reply. You got me to extend my thinking and that came out in the comment.
I don’t frequent that world much these days, but I personally preferred the agent/pull model when I did. I can’t really articulate why, I think I feel comfortable knowing that the agent will run with the last known config on the machine, potentially correcting any misconfiguration even if the central host is down.
The big debate back in the day was Puppet vs. Chef (before Ansible/SaltStack). Puppet was more declarative, Chef more imperative.
I also admit, I don’t like YAML, other than for simple, mostly flat config and serializing.
I further admit that Ansible just has a bigger community these days, and that’s worth something. When I need to do a bit of CM these days, I use Ansible.
So wait… Did Puppet have a license change as well recently? Is this just preemptive because it looks like Perforce is starting to change things?
The Free Software Foundation requires “CLAs” as well. I have no fear that they’re going to rug-pull. I don’t think we can use that as the indicator. IMO, it’s even a good idea to have a CLA so that’s no conflict that the project owns the code.
The warning for me is if the project is run by a company, especially a VC-backed company. Joplin isn’t, so I would be comfortable using it (although I don’t).
JIRA Data Center: What am I? Chopped liver‽
https://www.atlassian.com/enterprise/data-center/jira
Agreed that JIRA is… not the greatest tool.
Which documents, you say?
What happened?
Shredded, you say?
How badly?
To bits, you say? Oh my my…
Ahh, the comment I was looking for
I would have also accepted: “Haskell did it first.”
X2go is the successor to NX and works well IMO, though I’ve never tried Rustdesk to compare.
I wish FIDO had paid more attention to SQRL. It’s long in the tooth now, but with some attention it could have been a better solution than passkeys, IMO.
I’d argue that the concept of isolated environments is great. Python’s implementation… leaves something to be desired.
It’s still a bit hacky, even in Python 3. Tools like uv and pdm exist in the gaps to smooth it out.
That said, it’s something that the core community is actively working on and it’s not something users will face day to day.
I say this as someone who moved from PHP 3 to Python 2 to Ruby to PHP 6+ to Python 3 as their goto language over the years.
I work primarily in “classical” AI and have been working with it on-and-off for just under 30 years now. Programmed my first GAs and ANNs in the 90s. I survived Prolog. I’ve had prolonged battles getting entire corporate departments to use the terms “Machine Learning” and “Artificial Intelligence” correctly, understand what they mean, and how to start thinking about them to incorporate them correctly into their work.
Thus why I chose the word “LLM” in my response, not “AI”.
I will admit that I assumed that by “AI” Jimmy Carr was referring to LLMs, as that’s what most people mean these days. I read the TL;DW by @masterspace@lemmy.ca but didn’t watch the original content. If I’m wrong in that assumption and he’s referring to classical AI, not LLMs, I’ll edit my original post.
