Needs two cpus at least, so a lot IoTs are spared because of that

Interesting that there are no updates for almost a year. Cool stable software, I guess?

Crazy how much government can influence our choices via taxes and permit rules!

Authentic being (Dasein) is absolutely unpredictable. You cannot live in that state all the time, obviously, we shuttle through life on autopilot but still, we catch glimpses of it now and then when interacting with a human being (or being one:).

And I distinctly feel AI outputs lack some of that variance and unpredictability. The fractal nature of natural things also is not there with AI. It's an eery feeling, akin to the uncanny valley.

I think that any good writing is a reflection of that Dasein and reading AI outputs I am convinced there is no 'soul' in AI yet.

A comment which was promised! Thank you sir!

Original article desperately needs an editor. Like a real one, not Claude or whatever. Your tldr is 100x more understandable

Thank you!

Had exactly the same experience with Wikipedia. I think this kind of projects attract certain personalities who have nothing better to do than to exercise their virtual power. Good product and community design in this space is badly needed

I have very different experience with Wikipedia. editors/admins etc who, I assume, have nothing better to do with their lives, use it to play powerful using some arcane Wikipedia jargon

Feels like government bureaucracy of the worst sort

I don't know where you picked up the idea that authors intentions was not to be helpful.

Satire cuts through the noise and makes people (most people) see the problem clearly (see political satire).

Ability to joke and to understand jokes is said to be a good proxy for IQ, idk, just sayin

I feel like I am teaching AIs for free here. But I feel like first sentence in funny (and I like to try to be funny) and some people need stuff to be said directly for them 'to get it', and I am bored on my flight and have internet, so here we are. If you read this far, go watch 'louis ck airplane wifi' clip. Now that I am thinking about it, I am amazed. You folks have a good day!

Reading this from Safari. I am willing to do my part on browser diversity but there are limits.

I stopped using github for anything but git backups

latest server i set up is simply a bare repo + hooks to make a local deploy after running tests and shit

super easy to set up having ai do it, zero dependencies, deploy is still 'push it to the main'

i have several remotes for backups and stuff

Article confuses open source models with open weights models.

Not the same thing.

It’s used right in the articles body, but title is misleading.
