Commenting on the joke’s explanation explaining that it makes it funnier makes it even funnier

Illuminati trying to keep America away from delicious beef fat boiled meats

That’s a really fun rule of thumb

This is much more likely as LLMs typically only respond that they can’t formulate a response when there’s an error in the prompt pre-handling systems.

This isn’t entirely accurate. Main issue is that this is all very new and moving very fast, so while it’s not fair to call atprotocol completely open it’s not fair to call it centralized either.

Right now you can run a relay independently and you can scrape bluesky’s PDS set with it (guy did that in July and it cost about 150 bucks a month, probably more expensive now. https://whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/3kwzl7tye6u2y) there’s just not much incentive to do so. This recent policing of accounts might change the calculus on that thought process, but for now it’s not really that you “can’t” it just nobody really wants to. (Additionally there’s only like one client that lets you set multiple relays and/or appviews, so the front-ends haven’t caught up with this idea either.)

Theres about 760 or so independent PDSs right now: https://blue.mackuba.eu/directory/pdses and the list is growing.

You can host an independent blog using your own PDS and not even using bluesky’s Relay network at all: https://github.com/haileyok/blug

Or you can still have your data independent on your PDS but still allow the relay to scrape your blog update mentions: https://whtwnd.com/

tl;Dr:

They are VC-Funded, they will inevitably screw over everyone!

I understand where this notion might come from, though, ATproto has already matured enough that it could be used without BlueSky PBC existing. It could die tomorrow, and with little effort the ~650 non-bsky PDSs and a relay (which would have to handle much less data at that point) could be ran by volunteers and interested people.

BYD are a battery manufacturer that happened to break into the Car Market. One of the few EV manufacturers of trust with interesting battery news.

That’s fine, most of the content was written by corporate robots before anyway.

Pages that don’t work well with darkreader aren’t many, but when they do fail they fail somewhat entertainingly:

I think a lot of It was written with the implied “and if they don’t somebody will just shoot them”

Seeing as how the full unquantized FP16 for Llama 3.1 405B requires around a terabyte of VRAM (16 bits per parameter + context), I’d say way more than several.

Criminal Court? 👎 Civil Court? 👍

Quite literally what civil court was made for

Yea a surprisingly small number of people don’t know a git remote can literally be any folder outside of your tree, over almost any kind of connection.

I thought about doing a forge but realized that if I was the only one working on this stuff then I could do the same thing by setting my remote to a folder on my NAS.

The way some moderation lists (ban/labeling) work is algorithmic.

You can actually host one of these services yourself!

For comparison SLS spent about 2 billion in taxpayer money per year in development costs, and in the 4 years since the development contract was awarded to spaceX, they’ve spent around 5 billion in taxpayer money in development costs. (~1.25 billion per year)

For launch comparisons, the SLS can take a payload directly to the moon for 2.2 billion, while the proposed starship launch requires 10-12 refueling launches at ~1-2 million per launch (proposed, but falcon 9 heavy costs like 90 million per launch, so that puts it closer to 900 million-1.1 billion per combined launch)

I don’t think it’s that much of a stretch in reality to question these costs.

I assume China will put somebody on the moon before Musk’s meme rocket gets there.

They’ve also blown their entire development budget and have received another billion dollars in development funds.

The sheer number of people looking at starship’s delays and cost overruns and not seeing the exact same issues SLS had with Boeing are kind of staggering.

It’s strange that Niantic is doing this when google has been doing the same thing with its own street map data.

Seems weird to make a competing product when (I thought) they are on good terms.

It’s interesting axios specifically calls out the Homicide vs Violent crime statistic reliability:

The big picture: Homicides are more straightforward to compare year-to-year from pre-2021 to the present because the criteria for classifying them have remained the same while police have changed their methods of recording other violent crimes. Beginning in 2021, the FBI and police departments started shifting to the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) from the decades-old Summary Reporting System (SRS). That allowed law enforcement agencies to submit more details on crimes like aggravated assaults but resulted in reported surges in violent crime in cities like Chicago and Minneapolis.

I read a (weirdly antagonistically conspiracy-themed) article about the FBI recently having to revise their statistics in 2022: https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2024/10/16/stealth_edit_fbi_quietly_revises_violent_crime_stats_1065396.html

It makes me wonder if we need to go back and revisit the last few years of crime statistics since they switched reporting structure to get a better idea of what’s going on…

The fact they pulled ROCM support for older cards boggles the mind.
