wasn't there some research recently that said that like 20% of what your brain does was actually controlled by your gut microbiota?

The critical thing to remember about LLMs is that they are probabilistic in nature. They don't know facts, they don't reason, they don't evaluate. All they do is take your input string, split that string into tokens that are about 3-4 characters long, and then go back into their vast, vast, pretrained database and say "I have this series of tokens. In the past when similar sets of tokens were given, what were the tokens that were most likely to be associated with them?" It will then construct the output string one token at-a-time (more sophisticated models can do multiple tokens at once so that words, phrases and sentences might hang together better) until the output is complete (the probability of the next token being relevant drops below some threshold value) or your output limit is reached.

Is this a copypasta or just new greatness?

I love how all of the characters are scowling and have their game faces on… and then there’s Kirby, who’s like “Hi there! I’m gonna eat you and extract your power!”

Think the Baltics have a vested interest in seeing Ukraine succeed?

One of those liminal spaces. Love it.

It would be ideal If the big activitypub platform stacks like mastodon, Lemmy, etc could agree on some standard like a federated OIDC or DID approach for all authx/authn functions. then fediverse users could get cross-platform and even cross-instance logins “for free”

Of the changes made last week to the license, this one stands out:

  1. None of the Work may be used in any form as part, or whole, of an integration, plugin or app that integrates with Atlassian's Confluence or Jira products.

That is a weird carve-out, so I'd guess the license revision (and technically the reason it's no longer open source) somehow has to do with Atlassian or their plugin marketplace?

Feel like the (totally impractical) fediverse end-game would be for each individual to have their own activitypub service, and federation happening on a person-by-person basis. So you retain some control over anything you publish, and your history is yours to keep.

As others have said, changing UPS batteries is required maintenance, and I agree 18-24 months is the typical service life for even high-end UPSs. However, you may want to look into LiFePO4 based UPSs, which can handle many more charge-discharge cycles and often have 5-year warranties. More expensive and potentially not as recyclable as lead acid batteries, but maybe appropriate for your use case.

Yeah I wish they'd just transcribe their youtube videos and make blog-style posts with some of the screenshots. I'm almost never going to watch a 20-minute video, it's not like they'd be losing a viewer.

Good suggestion! Though sometimes they're a little too technical for me.

 

I've had a lot of fun making stupid songs using Suno, but one of their biggest limitations -- not being able to use a specific artist or group as an example -- seems intentionally added to escape this kind of lawsuit.

 

Though I guess "Saudi Arabia" and "dystopia" is a little redundant

 

Some serious engineering makes for a pretty compelling voxel display. Plus the whole build saga is on Mastodon! Go Fediverse!

 

Robocalls with AI voices to be regulated under Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the agency says. I'm pretty sure this puts us on the timeline where we eventually get incredible, futuristic tech, but computers and robots still sound mechanical and fake.

 

Noticed I was logged out of lemmy.ml this morning. When I logged in, everything looked the same, but... "All" loaded instantly. Switching to "Subscribed" was just as fast. Post thumbnails came up as quickly as I could scroll.

I don't know if it's the new software or if y'all cleared out some cruft when restarting the services, but from this end-user's perspective, Lemmy 0.19.0-rc.8 flies. Nicely done!
