Oh, and using LLMs makes you measurably dumber: https://publichealthpolicyjournal.com/mit-study-finds-artificial-intelligence-use-reprograms-the-brain-leading-to-cognitive-decline/

I wish all the LLM companies, everyone working at them, and every single person promoting, and/or using that technology a very merry go pound sand. You’re finally achieving what Microsoft failed to do for 40 years: Kill open source. By allowing LLM commits, y’all turn your code into an untrustworthy legal liability.

Last time we spoke about downgrading, I forgot https://ipsw.me/ exists. Probably because I’ve never installed a firmware from that site. (No spare phone if things go wrong.)

The biggest dick move with this whole liquid ass clusterfuck is, that for a very brief time window one could install 18.7.3 on iPhone 11, and later. And then Apple pulled it. “Oh no! Almost everyone prefers the security only update over our nightmarish Windows Vista clone!”

How exactly will those datacenters be powered, and cooled? Unless it’s 100% renewable energy sources, and they don’t need fresh water this just exasperates the climate catastrophe, and water shortages. Additionally, the LLM hype is a bubble caused by FOMO. On top of that, _all_ providers of genAI models implicitly admitted they can’t train models without massive copyright violations, because licensing everything they train on is prohibitively expensive.

They’re all in on the “Fuck the planet, we’ll digitize the plebs consciousnesses, and the elites will colonize the stars” flavor of fascism. I can’t imagine any other reason for plans this unrealistic.

Calling it a Ponzi scheme downplays the real, material dangers of the techno fascist, neo-feudal, and colonialist ambitions of the VC class.

The VCs *need* AI. It’s both damnation, and salvation at the same time. It’s a very easy way to 1) scare people into their AGI cult, 2) control what’s considered truth, and 3) wage class war. All three fuel their techno fascist network state project. And people who don’t want to use their brain can’t get enough of the Kool Aid.

[This is pure speculation, based on unverified assumptions]
It could be a case of signature is in the archive and signs its content, not the archive? apk had that problem some years ago. You could simply add files to the archive, and those extra files would be extracted, and remain in the root fs.

Ich benutze die kabelgebundene von Anker. Die 10 Jahre alte zu Hause funktioniert noch super. Die neueren Serien sind qualitativ leider nicht mehr so toll. (Mausrad geht nach ca. 3 Jahren kaputt.)
Edit: Zusätzlich kann ich Split-Tastatur empfehlen. Habe seit dem keine verspannten Schultern mehr.

There are a lot of news outlets that use the cookie banners to coerce visitors into subscribing. It’s literally “Allow all cookies”, and “Pay to not have ads”.

2024-10-28 13:47:27 UTC

- reply

It’s really not helping. All it does is cause alert fatigue. We’re in this situation, because the EU didn’t have the spine to tell online advertisers (and other surveillance capitalists) to find a healthy business model. The Do-Not-Track Header Clients can opt in to would have been a perfectly fine solution. Instead, we have the banners deliberately violating GDPR (e.g. pay up or get tracked is illegal).
