The political ideas you can find on Reddit are much more diverse. There is usually at least some pushback against some of the most deranged statements.

If the live version is already broken, there isn’t much to lose deploying the fix as soon as possible. Not sure what else they could have done here.

Of course, but I still find it remarkable that the task that was picked as an example for something extremely difficult is now trivially easy just a few years later

The example given in the comic has moved from one category to the other. Determining whether an image contains a bird is a fairly simple “two hour” task now.

Plot twist: The woman in the comic is Fei-Fei Li, she got the research team and five years and succeeded 🤯

A related thing that annoys me, if you start Steam manually, it takes ~30 seconds to launch and it will steal your focus multiple times during launch. So annoying!

I like using AntennaPod for podcasts and Spotify for music.

Yeah, 3D printers are everywhere. Both as a business and as a hobby, it’s bigger than it has ever been.

It’s not a different discipline, an LLM is an example of a machine learning model.

It’s not greed, companies will literally lose their trademarks if they don’t defend them

no

A few years ago, they added the ability to buy/rent ships with ingame money. So it seems that they are willing to deliver features they promised, even when those features compete with their ship sales.

it really doesn’t

No, the whole market is run by one company. There is no point in having a blockchain.

How would more QA help?

It doesn’t make sense for Lemmy (or Mastodon) to send your IP to other instances. Without that IP, all they have is your username. They can’t really track you based on just the username.

What a wild conspiracy theory.

Legally, they can’t collect and process any of the data unless you accepted a contract with them. Just by sending an upvote or a comment to their instance, you don’t agree to any of this.

And if they choose to ignore the law and just do it anyway, they still can’t, because all they have is the data that your instance sends them. They don’t have your geo-location, device Id, etc.

Interesting. It seems that Lemmy can see Mastodon users and send private messages to them. And I believe Mastodon users can create Lemmy posts, so potentially Threads users could do that too once Meta enables two-way communication.

I’m in favor of federation. The point of federated networks isn’t that there are no evil corporations, but rather that they can’t cause damage.

What Facebook can do:

• read your public data (they can do this wether anyone federates with them or not)
• let their users publish content to other Fediverse users

What they can’t do:

• serve you ads
• serve you an algorithmic feed
• impose their ToS or rules
• collect data for analytics/tracking/marketing
• force you to use a certain client
• make changes to the protocol or design

I think this is mostly relevant for Mastodon servers due to the format of the content, but the arguments are the same.

You can simply not follow people on Threads and you will have no Threads content in your feed

The new control panel is just a text box and you have to convince chatgpt to change your options.
