Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett. Because or seemed like they still had more to contribute

Damn, even tighter than the original

Nice.

Instances are websites. Federation just means that they can automatically communicate directly between multiple intakes, and share information without requiring user interaction.

All this happens via APIs. Any website that implements ActivityPub APIs properly can federate with other sites as part of the fediverse.

It’s AI in so far as any ML is AI.

TBH, it’s mostly the corporate control and misinformation/hype that’s the problem. And the fact that they can require substantial energy use and are used for such trivial shit. And that that use is actively degrading people’s capacity for critical thinking.

ML in general can be super useful, and is an excellent tool for complex data analysis that can lead to really useful insights…

So yeah, uh… Eat the rich? And the marketing departments. And incorporate emissions into pricing, or regulate them to the point where it only becomes viable to non-trivial use cases.

Teamsters Canada? They have a freight division: https://teamsters.ca/about/union-profile/

What country?

Good point

I wasn’t suggesting anything was black and white. I was just giving an example of a chain of thought. OP is free to come up with their own chains of thought.

Why?

This is good, but I’d add that you can get closer, and you can get closer faster, but truth will always be over the horizon.

Suggesting therapy (or any course of action) for someone based on a couple of lines the posted on the internet seems a bit hasty. You know barely anything about them. AND you’re making umsupported assumptions (they said nothing about their own sexuality).

No way, that’s just science, baby! (Edit: OK, and philosophy)

I think those questions need to be followed through with a chain of reasoning and questions, not denial. There’s usually lots of options.

So for that “gay people are deviants” question, a “no they aren’t” answer isn’t helpful, because it’s faith based, which leads to a shutdown of thinking and curiosity.

Another line might be: if they are, then does that mean that the tens or hundreds of other animal species with documented existence of homosexuality are also deviants? Can an animal be a deviant? Seems unlikely… Does that mean that maybe deviance is a dodgy concept? What does it actually mean? Does it mean a thing is fundamentally bad, or does it just mean that it doesn’t fit with a particular value system? If that’s the case, and I personally know a bunch of gay people who are really lovely people, is it possible that it’s the value system that’s the problem, not the gay people?

There’s usually plenty of other chains of thought that will get you to a place like this. Doing this kind of thought exploration also means that when you come up against someone making that argument in public, then you have a better idea where you stand, and you can potentially engage constructively with them, if they seem open to it.

If you’re interested in shaping public opinion I think you need to ask yourself why you are on Lemmy instead of somewhere else?

(Not OP) Because the “somewhere elses” all have their own fucked up problems, like algorithms that optimise for combativeness, and corporate control of various debates. Lemmy has the potential to provide a viable alternative, and it needs content in order to get big enough to do it. It’s the long game.

Thanks! I already use zsh’s partial name matching, but that looks even more useful

I’ve been running kubuntu on a lenovo yoga for years, works great.

I think the only think is that the touch screen maps incorrectly when there’s a second monitor plugged in. I didn’t use it enough for that to be annoying, and it’s possible it’s fixed on plasma 6, I haven’t tried yet.

I think on top of this, the question has an incorrect implicit assumption - that LLMs understand what they produce (this would be necessary for them to produce code in languages other than what they’re trained on).

LLMs don’t product intelligent output. They produce plausible strings of symbols, based on what is common in a given context. That can look intelligent only in so far as the training dataset contains intelligently produced material.
