Is Brave actually blocking ads noe, and not just inserting their own?

Are they still installing crypto miners on people’s computers?

The investigation is being run by Elections Alberta. We should be lucky that they don’t just hand over more records to the separatists.

You mean the AOSP project that only supports hardware sold by the assholes we’re trying to get away from?

Hard pass.

It’s going to be bad, too. These companies are repportedly selling tokens for 1/10 - 1/15 the actual processing costs. Companies are already spending significantly more than they would junior developers (to generate an un-revewable amount of code). Raising peices by a factor of 20 will kill the whole project dead. They’ll need to hold out until there’s no one left who knows how to write anymore to survive that kind of price hike.

Probably Super Mario Bros. Wonder or LoZ Echoes of Eisdom. I will continue to buy physical games from local stires until it’s no longer an option.

Yes, but federation isn’t really about enabling one singular discussion space. Network splits are ultimately healthy for the communities, because it allows for self-governance and actual community building, rather than unmanageably large masses screaming into themaatically named voids, controlled by a handful of super-mods and super-admins.

Distributed networks are meant to be, well, distributed, not quasi-centralized with some fun URLs used as dumb terminals.

Yup. And costs right now are rising while they’re still in the “get everybody hooked” stage of things, in no small part because they can’t survive at current prices. Anthropic is desperate to get to their IPO so they can have the warchest they need to actually become an established integral part of development pipelines and not just a fad.

My Haswell 4770k died last year after 13 years in service. I replaced it with a used AMD 5800X with 32GB DDR4 for $100. As soon as I heard about the RAM shortages, I grabbed another 64GB.

Not only am I ready to ride out this bubble, buy I’m fucking around with local LLM models just to be a snot about it.

I wad gonna say, if they’d hired another Chris after I left I was going to feel really offended. I’m happy to take credit for talking shit about the publisher publically, though.

Yes, yes, not all men or whatever.

Fix your flock if you don’t want to to be branded.

-> not subject to political interference

-> has $120M stolen by the country that steals everything from everyone

Uhh, sure…

Awesome. Something to keep me away from big wrbsites and on the small web.

That’s pretty clear why: If electric is the future, they don’t have one. They’ve decided they cannot compete in that space. They have to gamble on H2, because it’s either be a leader there, or die a slow death.

It’s amazing how passionate bootlickers are about text prediction and the capturing of the commons.

The billionaires aren’t going to love you backv bro.

That’s a problem, but the bigger issue is how the commercial models are tuned to tell you that you are never wrong.

Or, more to the point, telling people who don’t know what they’re talking about that they’re never wrong.

Yeah, Usenet is amazing right now. I just with the discussion groups were seeing the benefit of the media and binary revival.

Does anyone need the Beaverton to be labeled as satire on a Canadian forum?

It just agreed with the accusations, because these models do what they’re trained to do: Agree with the prompter.

Nor have organized politicall movements designed to vulnerable populations.

Obviously not. They use real brooms. You can get them at the hardware store pretty cheap!
