dannym, to piracy in Bringing the power of books to the fediverse

First time I’m hearing about Bookwyrm actually, that’s pretty cool.

dannym, to linux in what's your opinion on typst?

the syntax is more powerful than markdown, the whole idea of with blocks and the ability to have more complex layouts is great

dannym, to privacy in YouTube adds tracking parameters to shared URLs that can be traced back to individual Google accounts

If you’re on Android use grayjay, if you’re on Linux use freetube. You can follow channels on both of those.

If using grayjay and you can afford it please do pay for the license; you’re not technically required; it’s based on the honor system, but it helps the developers at FUTO work on it and it helps them donate to other FOSS projects.

If you use freetube please donate to them, even a dollar, the developers will greatly appreciate it.

Let’s support software that doesn’t hate us!

dannym, (edited ) to piracy in Sony Steals Customers' Purchased Content - Piracy is COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED!

I was referring to his edit which is:

Edit: Oh god… It’s Rossman. Of course it’s dishonest.

And my argument was that it’s fine to disagree with him (especially if you have conflicting evidence), but I don’t think that it’s warranted to call Rossmann dishonest

By the way, I don’t even necessarily disagree with his main opinion, the video title is clickbaity for sure

How is he dishonest? It’s fine if you disagree with his opinions, but saying he’s dishonest is very… well… dishonest :P

Agreed, but it kinda already is… Ever gone to a library?

dannym, (edited ) to piracy in I Know What You Download (via torrent)

the results for me are hilarious, who knew people in my general area downloaded so much porn… and… weird porn at that

it’s literally only porn, who the heck torrents porn?

some of the most hilariously sounding things on that list:

very nsfw- FATAL ECSTASY.rar - I was looking for work as a voice actor but I was made to do a motion capture sex.rar - Picking up girl on the way home from a live show and having sex!.rar - Divine Fuck VR Sex Worship - Sailor Girl Stuck In A Wall.rar - ReEro - Ejaculating in Another World ver.2.0 [EnglishMTL].rar - Intercourse Study Week.rar

dannym, to piracy in I’m sorry, but I cannot help you with finding pirated movies. Piracy is illegal and unethical 😉

it’s not about feeling intellectually superior; words matter. I’ll grant you one thing, it’s definitely “artificial”, but it’s not intelligence!

LLMs are an evolution of Markov Chains. We have known how to create something similar to LLMs for decades, getting close to a century, we just lacked the raw horse power and the literal hundreds of terabytes of data needed to get there. Anyone who knows how markov chains work can figure out how an LLM works.

I’m not downplaying the development needed to get an LLM up and running, yes, it’s harder than just taking the algorithm for a markov chain, but the real evolution is how much computer power we can shove into a small amount of space now.

Calling LLMs AI would be the same as calling a web crawler AI, or a moderation bot, or many similar things.

I recommend you to read about the chinese room experiment

I keep telling people that, but for some, what amount to essentially a simulacra really can pass off as human and no matter how much you try to convince them they won’t listen
