You do realize there are blockchains that don't suffer from just... not working? like PoS fixes the electricity issue, and there are many solutions to making transactions much cheaper, quicker, and having more bandwidth.

Still happening... :/

Same.

I've developed a Colab to use Blenderbot 2 if you want to try to talk with them. (note, you probably need Colab Pro and a P100 if not a V100, and high RAM set on for the 3B) (also, I am not tech support, I just threw something together.) There are 2 models to chat to, the 3B and the 400M, the 3B unconfirmed to run in Colab, while the 400M model does (with T4 and above) Just change in the last cell the command to use the 3B or the 400M model. https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1Idr82UNopKi58xFUDoj...

(another note, it takes a while to run)

(also, if you want to talk to the original Blenderbot, use this Colab: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1NFFSNfX6cDjQrwai0np... you need a T4 or above to interact with the 3B Blenderbot 1 model.)

I'm in America, might explain the price difference.

Really? did not know that.

There's an entire academic paper detailing exactly how it works. https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.03374

However, discoverability and ease of use are always factors. With Odysee, you just use it like YouTube, not much is different.

It's not nonsense, it works. But yeah, PeerTube is a good alternative too!

Copilot isn't a retrieval model. It's a generative model. It learns the coding techniques, not retrieving snippets. Only 0.1% of code it generates is regurgitated, and even that is usually pretty common code.

It would be legal! But it wouldn't "reconstruct" Microsoft software. The way Copilot works is just that, a copilot. It's not the pilot. It's your own fault for what you do with it, it's just giving you some help along the way.

Note: that already exists, it's called Jukebox! https://openai.com/blog/jukebox/

How bout Odysee?

- People using it (not that many, but there's a sizable community) - Decent recommendation algorithm (okay ) - Decent moderation (part of the whole appeal is "free speech", but it's pretty toned down compared to some others)

It's pretty okay on all fronts, but not the best. Still something to check out though!

The amount of known nuclear close calls is scary. The fact that disaster has almost struck multiple times shows how we shouldn't have nuclear weapons.

You can't really pirate Windows. They offer download links for free for anyone to use. You can use it for free and while you have an "Activate Windows" watermark, it'd be fine. The only way to get Windows Pro would be to get a license key, which can't really be pirated also.

TPM modules are not £3. They're $50 or more now. Many people use older hardware without TPM support, and many people don't know what TPMs are and how to add them. Entire enterprises of hardware would have to be upgraded. It's a ploy to create more sales for hardware manufacturers.

Antarctica? Marie Byrd Land will have melted land areas soon, in the next few decades. By 2100 it'll be completely uncovered. And the Antarctic Treaties expire in 2047...

Very interesting post. SVGs have amazed me in how versatile a format they can be.

That is a world I want to live in.

Wow. I don't know what I'd do in that situation. Now that I think of it, it actually might be logical to not allow people to pump their own gas. Safety and all that.

Climate change isn't coming. It's already here.

The walled garden's walls heighten. However, sideloading will still function with other avenues. But still, this barely adds anything, and even though it can be more optimized for devices, that's not much compared to the large ramifications.

You could say a human is laundering GPL code if they learned programming from looking at Github repositories. Would you, though? The type of model they use isn't retrieving, it's having learned the syntax and the solutions that are used, just like a human would.

Distributed Denial of Secrets, you've done it again!

I've been putting off replacing Windows for a while now. Windows 11 not being compatible with older hardware is the straw that breaks the camel's back. Here I come, Linux!

If you learn programming from Stack Overflow and Github, and then repeat something that you learned over your time at reading, that's not just copying text. That's having learned the text. You could say the human brain is mashing together several different code examples, taking some text from each.
