FreePalestine1··on A misalignment of AI in mathematics
Try googling which country was the only country to use nukes. Hint: it's another nutball country.

There is strong evidence that Iran was not as close to a nuclear weapon as you say.

We will find out the truth eventually, like we found out that the WMDs in Iraq claim was a complete lie.

The problem with what you're saying is there has never been a technology that has the potential to disrupt the workforce at this scale. There is also no clear pathway to "this opens up more jobs". This is not a tool the same way an electric saw is a tool. An electric saw replaces a physical thing that we do (manually sawing), but AI replaces our thinking and intelligence.
FreePalestine1··on I'm Tired of Talking to AI
Seems like /ru is not the default domain so how do you know Russian is the original?

If Russian is the original I would imagine the site would default to Russian and then /en for English.

AI translation is very different from AI writing though!

That is the problem, syncing isn't the most trivial problem especially for non technical folks. User experience is far superior in a fully managed solution.

The confusing thing is that googling "google advanced protection program" takes you to the en_in locale, even if you are in the US. An American has no clue what a crore is, so it is just an SEO failure on Google's part, which is funny. I didn't know there was an en_us equivalent to the page when I googled the topic.
FreePalestine1··on How people woke up before alarm clocks
I'm pretty much the same. Nothing done before noon. I show up to the office on time just for the sake of it, I then get my work done at night. My manager is okay with it but it is not sustainable, I feel like it takes unnecessary time out of my day. But it is genuinely hard.
FreePalestine1··on Willingness to look stupid
I actually don't like this statement. I'd rephrase it because trying to speak in a language doesn't make you look stupid, or at least it shouldn't. Saying "I look stupid everyday" just reinforces that there is something inherently stupid about not knowing a language and trying to learn it. If anything trying to learn a language when it's not a requirement for something, is really anything but stupid.
FreePalestine1··on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month
I will go against the grain and say that I am happy that Discord is doing something about the NSFW content that is being fed to children on its platform. I don't use Discord that much personally but I heard from friends that it is a goto for NSFW content, similar to reddit.

Every time the topic of ID for 18+ content comes up, the entire internet melts down over "big brother" and "privacy", yet no one flinches at presenting ID for alcohol at the store. And further more, nobody offers an alternative solution the problem. Status quo isn't acceptable. "Kids will always find a way to bypass measures/access their porn", is also not an acceptable answer.

We as a society need to do something about the unprecedented levels of porn addiction in today's youth. "Enter your date of birth" prompts are performative and do nothing.

I will say I am usually the first person to oppose any sort of government overreach, I am very pro privacy.

I believe the energy put into the criticism and boycott of Discord should be put into finding solutions for verifying ID in a secure and private manner online. Something like Apple Pay for IDs?

FreePalestine1··on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month
I believe what you said is correct and this headline is incredibly misleading. Most people should not need to upload any ID. If you are so addicted to NSFW content on Discord, then it is a different story.

Sure but at least it protects against unauthorized free-for-all access on your host system. If you want to explicitly give it access to external APIs over the internet that's a risk you personally are taking. It's really smart to run something like this in a sandbox, especially in the current beta/experimentation phase.

Brother as a fellow Muslim this project is deeply troubling. LLMs are bound to butcher the word of God.

Why not try indexing IslamQA or something instead?

FreePalestine1··on Apple squandered the Holy Grail
Doomposting aside, why do you actually think all these companies are going downhill?

I think they're all doing pretty well at the moment.

> There are almost no marriageable women around these days.

Would be interested to hear your definition of marriageable women and why there aren't any in your circles.

As an Arab Muslim, my POV is very different.

> When there is such a rich database of manual pages and q/a about these tools, I tend to blame the user rather than the tool when I hear it called "too complex".

Strong disagree. The example they gave about ffmpeg is a great example. Let's say I'm a casual ffmpeg user that wants to wrangle some videos one way or another.

I don't have the time to dig through ffmpeg's manual with tons of different options and terms that I don't understand just to figure out, as a trivial example, how to convert an mp4 to an mp3 while maintaining the best quality possible. I have 0 interest in learning about media formats, codecs, etc. I just want the result. This is not unreasonable.

With ChatGPT/Claude/etc, this is an even more trivial task. Nothing wrong with that. I'm willing to take the (minimal) risk of running an ffmpeg command while taking a common sense glance at it. It won't destroy my existing file. Or I'll run it on a copy if I'm being paranoid. I'm not dumb enough to destroy my machine or get some malware by running an unfamiliar ffmpeg command I copy pasted.

My #1 usage for LLMs is bash/zsh commands. Shell syntax is miserable to say the least.

I think things generally start off as experiments in first world countries then trickle down eventually to third world countries. That's just the reality. 20 years ago not everything could be digitized because internet/smartphone access isn't widespread, but now more or less every single person on the planet has some sort of internet access. Things change eventually, they gotta start somewhere.
