Why? Do you think parking should be legal anywhere? Should all minor fines be fought in court against LLMs?

Strange to have an article about salmon farming drawbacks without mentioning escaped salmons polluting the wild salmon population. There has been a strong decrease in wild salmon as they lose the ability to migrate back up the river to lay their eggs due to breeding with escaped farming salmon.

I once again feel that a comparison to humans is fitting. We are also "trained" on a huge amount of input over a large amount of time. We will also try to guess the most natural continuation of our current prompt (setting). When asked about things it I can at times hallucinate things I was certain to be true.

It seems very natural to me that large advances in reasoning and logic in AI should come at the expense of output predictability and absolute precision.

How is this a debian maintainer going rogue? Maintainers making changes to default package build flags is quite normal and should be expected. These changes were even requested in the public bug tracker.

This actually sounds like a solid move. There is obviously a huge market for a porn, nudity and kink related community. As proven by the decline of tumblr. I guess most US companies are too prudish to capitalize on the opportunity.

I guess the hard part is compartmentalizing the content spheres and public image perception.

I strongly dislike swap on servers. I can understand some use cases laptops and one-off situations.

I would much rather have an application get killed by OOM killer than swapping. Swapping absolutely kills performance. Not having enough RAM is a faulty state and swapping hides that from admins resulting in hard to debug issues. The OOM killer leaves handy logs, swapping just degrades your service and needs to be correlated with RAM usage metrics.

My experience is also that swap will be used no matter how low (or was it high?) you set the swappiness number if the memory throughput is high enough, even if there is enough RAM available.

Or it might indicate an ignorance of X and a better understanding of Y and Z.

Host it your self. I'm doing that with libreddit. Gives me much better performance than the highly used public instances.

Replace browser with operating system or computer and expand extensions to user installable programs and it mostly still rings true. I believe users should be empowered to modify their installed applications as they see fit.
