You think I care about your comment? I’m being bombed by Russian terrorists each day. Lol all I care about is to just live another day.

lukestateson··on YaLM-100B: Pretrained language model with 100B parameters
1. Yandex supports the Russian Terrorist regime.

2. Yandex News service ignores the genocide currently happening in Ukraine.

3. Yandex Search engine hides the pictures of Bucha and Irpin massacre as well as Kharkiv and Mariupol destruction.

Yandex using whitewashing tactics via open source.

They can protest, they can boycott, they can disagree, they can tell the truth.

Russian bribes to corrupt European governments?
lukestateson··on For some searches the whole screen on Google is now ads
It’s a band-aid. Just let Google slowly die, it’s already time when you should pull the plug – the patient is brain-dead for several years and there is no hope.

Use DuckDuckGo it’s a lot better with relevant search results and privacy friendly.

lukestateson··on CAPTCHAs don’t prove you’re human – they prove you’re American (2017)
CAPTCHAs don't work.

At least for humans. It's fairly easy to write a script with current technology even for an average "hacker" to solve them. But on the other hand it's extremely hard, nearly impossible for a person with special needs to complete them. Even for average person solving some of CAPTCHAs is a hassle.

Most of the popular CAPTCHAs services are "robot-friendly" and providers don't care who solves them, they just need data, they don't need to prove you're human.

lukestateson··on We can do better than DuckDuckGo
Drew in his blog post talking about DuckDuckGo privacy issues, but his commercial startup Sourcehut does not offer the Privacy basics:

1. Account deletion

2. GDPR data request

3. Option to unsubscribe from emails

So right now his blog reminds me one famous US politician Twitter account. Never fix your own problems, just blame others more often.

I can totally understand why they need a moving truck for their operation center.

It's a lot easier to find a fast working wifi when passing through all those coffee shops.

Intel got cash in, but we've got cacheout.
lukestateson··on Pantone 448 C
All colors should be treated equally. There should be no discrimination based on color. Every color is beautiful in it's own way.

But here we are, Tiffany Blue considered pretty and Drab Dark Brown is ugly. It is not ugly, It's just color positive.
