I like the initiative.

But saying its like the www because it’s open and available to all, is not a good analogy. The web is standardized, federated, and aligns protocols, technology, architecture, information together.

Doesn’t matter. That company and its leadership are worrisome, with or without that trivia.

Switching from Windows 11 to Linux Mint, I expected some headaches after last using Debian 15 years ago. But it feels like home.

Good question.

TL;DR: Large-scale Russian cyberattack on IPTV cameras near military routes uncovered bh Dutch intelligence agencies. Germany, Frans, Finland, The Netherlands summoned the Russian ambassadors to their countries.

Edit: I will not share info on Russo-Chinese collaboration. Should anyone need sources for that claim, the my won’t be convinced anyway :-)

Don’t they report on status and outages like normal ISPs do?

Your connection to Fediverse seems to be functioning.

Wouldn’t such turbulent times be exactly when established companies are at risk as well? E.g., what electrification is doing to VW.

Although the risk for AI-first vs general big tech does depend on the root cause of the disruption.

I think it will be triggered by the massive overvaluation of many AI labs. Investors will sell. In the meanwhile, other sectors will still have to adjust to the new reality of token generators, so the wider economy is impacted.

LLMs will not disappear, just like real estate did not disappear after 2008,and the internet did not disappear after the dotcom bubble burst.

But I can imagine the end of hyperfocus on the “AGI race”.

Different Linus. Took me too long.

Yes. And TIL :-)

Do you have more info?

I would first build a cable lift, then a pipeline for concrete, then the dam.

Are you familiar with Aphantasia by any chance? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphantasia

Half of the bots I encounter just share news articles in non-news communities. Thats what I dislike most. I get my news from reputable sources, the Fediverse is for social interaction.

Can’t wait to see what modern Potsdam / Nuremberg / Marshall equivalents will do to Russia and Kremlin rule over it.

‘Falling asleep’.

I have seen people pass out while that album was playing.

Right: chess piece reveal party.

I will repeat myself: Perfect is the enemy of good. In my opinion, you’re spending your finite attention arguing with the wrong person.

Yes, thank you for clarifying this.

Not sure why anyone would assume monetary/commercial benefit here.

Interesting read.

I think parts of Indo-European languages (nouns, verbs) can be represented by icons the same way a logographic language can be spelled out phonetically. The questions are: (1) how do you represent other kins of words, and (2) what icons to use 😵‍💫🤷🏾‍♂

Yup. And if you want to take a small step without major hardware requirements: connect your setup to a paid subscription Mistral or Anthropic API. They allow you to switch off training on your data.

On top of that, the costs are way lower than the normal consumer grade chat subscriptions, and your searches + memory are kept locally (e.g., managed through open webui).
