politics, opinion Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
@KittenKoder@mastodon.social @QasimRashid@mastodon.social 10% good no matter what, 10% evil no matter what, 80% go either way depending on what they feel like. Mostly they feel like not bothering if not directly harmed themselves. We wouldn't have so little climate change action otherwise. Direct harm does not include long term. Getting cancer seems to be fine, just as long as they're not killed outright by whatever it is that's affecting them. IMO there has to be flair to whoever would stir the 80%.

Replying to @natalie@prismst.one
@natalie@prismst.one @eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place I'm thinking there's quite a lot of truth to the fact that almost nobody cares about the code. End users tend to complain ineffectually if they notice at all. The decision makers look at the estimates and pick the cheapest and quickest. If something is cheaper to create from scratch, no matter how many security bugs it creates... There are no processes in place to associate those aspects almost anywhere I know of. Most business code is garbage nobody sane wants to maintain.

@HeavenlyPossum@kolektiva.social Native flora is native because it does not need planting. Just maybe throw a few clumps of sod with overdeveloped roots in them every few meters. That gets more of those plants started and it'll all grow right in in a few years, in the leadup years there'll be plants that are needed to enrich the top soil with missing nutrients from deeper soil.

@troed@swecyb.com I believe the most important and widespread harm of pushing LLMs is companies doing that get the most use out of this by threatening workers (AI will replace you, be more efficient or else). Everything else from theft, environmental impact, surveillance abuse and deskilling to what's in the linked comic is extra. https://www.savagechickens.com/2024/04/haagen-bot.html

@isol@mastodon.au @darwinwoodka@mastodon.social @evedazzle@mas.to @thevhswizard@retro.pizza I bought tubeless ready slightly wider tires for my bike in hopes of improving suspension. Those should have stiffer side walls, allowing for lower tire pressure. From 37 mm to 40 mm. A gravel biker told me bottoming out rarely damages aluminum rims in practice, gotta do crazy stuff to do worse than dent them. Time to test. It has been bumpy riding hard packed gravel roads (basically asphalt with stones exposed on the surface), gonna compare.

@bytex64@awesome.garden @thevhswizard@retro.pizza @evedazzle@mas.to I don't know what Ford did right for once but the suspension has seen minimal parts changes. Previous generation front bushings were completely gone every year, even though the engine was much lighter. True about the aging plastic parts but that got much better compared to previous gen. Probably worse again now, especially electronics. Parts integrated, expensive, harder to change etc.

@TeflonTrout@beige.party @evedazzle@mas.to @thevhswizard@retro.pizza The life savings I mostly refer to are everything but the engine. The engine on a modern car is mostly indestructible, given maintenance is reasonable. Gas engines might be less durable in that respect but still, it's 300 000 km typically before anything but an alternator change is in order.

Replying to @TeflonTrout@beige.party
@TeflonTrout@beige.party @evedazzle@mas.to @thevhswizard@retro.pizza It's a matter of degrees. What hurts most is frequent starts and stops. I drive 40 km minimum, typically more at once, perhaps once a month. I've seen clean burning tractors that have run on one oil their whole 3000 hour, 10 year lifetime (after 1st change). If they had excessive wear they'd be smoking at that point due to wear. What wears an engine down most is any metal particles, no matter how small. Those are less likely to appear with a warm engine.

@evedazzle@mas.to @thevhswizard@retro.pizza Can't have business when goods are too good, innit? That's why the planned obsolescence. Good news: the less you drive, the less the car breaks. I didn't even realise that relationship is basically reverse exponential. I've driven 3 years with the same oil, <10 000 km and all the expense is fuel, a light bulb and my time keeping the car free of rodents. They tend to flock to cars that aren't driven.

@renetron@aus.social @thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io "given this input, produce this output" is what I described as an exception. Why would this not fit? I don't mean the word in a programming language context, heavy with other technical implications like it's an object that needs further handling and stuff like that... Basically a rule. Intelligent beings don't have just the rules, they can also create the rules on their own, by example of other situations and comparison, reflection etc, thus learning.

Not directly relevant, just trying to figure out synapses and intelligence: This paper https://royalsocietypublishing.org/rstb/article/371/1685/20150180/22710/Neuronal-factors-determining-high https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4685590/ states that equating the number of synapses with intelligence is debated.

@renetron@aus.social @thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io 1/2 As I understand it, an exception (parameter) is a rule describing how to act in case a certain situation comes up. I was referring to the use of the word synapse by you, @renetron@aus.social "... trillion parameters. A little more than the number of synapses of a mouse." A synapse is something both much more specific than an exception (parameter), flexible but also more general. I don't know enough to say if using "synapse" in this context is correct.

@renetron@aus.social @thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io A mouse will truly learn *without 3rd party input* to respond to situations, like if the cheese in the middle of the dungeon that their mouse friend ate kills the friend, they'll avoid it. LLM is not intelligence, it is a statistical generator with a huge amount of exceptions (not like synapses). I don't think the mouse and an LLM equate in the least.

@glassresistor@sfba.social @be@floss.social @ret@furry.engineer @smallsees@social.dropbear.xyz @cwebber@social.coop IMO the systems that don't notice technical debt are not needed anyhow. The ones that are important obviously need the shock now (just like wars are needed to shock sense into people). The problem in all this is that blame will be assigned to workers instead of incompetent managers.

@tante @hopeless An advantage of Rocky for docker containerisation seems to be a really minimal official (below 10MB) image for that, no maintenance burden. https://hub.docker.com/r/rockylinux/rockylinux Debian official image is around 30MB. If you're experienced on Debian, not much difference. May have to install the epel-release package (for instance, fail2ban is available from there , https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/#_quickstart ) which is probably not very intuitive for someone new to the RedHat side. dnf provides '*bin/grep'

@Sustainable2050@mastodon.energy Very similar in Estonia. Yesterday / today have been the only rain this month, a whopping ~8mm total. Looks from the other comments that this is common in the whole of northernish side of Europe.

@retsel@defcon.social @LoganFive@beige.party There once was a man from Cork, he was widely known as a dork. It's quite entertaining, that which this is pertaining is useless to all as a honk. Join my boring limerick club today!
