@nprofile…3src The Scottish/Irish Viking raiders used longships, right? Most of what I know about this is from Egla

@nprofile…3kqn All I have heard about it is the founder went to jail for his principles, which seems like a plus.

Ok, just to sum it up for those following along at home:
NordVPN: confidence scam, the Raid: Shadow Legends of VPNs
Mozilla VPN: reseller of Mullvad
Tailscale: partners with Mullvad
ExpressVPN: Israeli
Private Internet Access: ditto
ProtonVPN: sponsors French fascists
MullvadVPN: donates millions to Swedish fascists
am I missing any?

@nprofile…nttq @nprofile…s8xx Nuclear energy is not merely about $/MWh but baseload power. Renewable energy does not provide reliable constant power and storage has significant externalities. This is why, when you cut nuclear, you just get more coal, oil, gas, and wood pellets.

@nprofile…uptt That's correct, you haven't heard me say that. I don't want Mastodon to become an echo chamber.

@nprofile…uptt You're looking at a tidal wave of criticism crashing into you and calling it an echo chamber. The echo chamber is when you are never exposed to exactly that. In an echo chamber, you don't realize you're in one; the only viewpoints you're hearing are your own.
The argument we're having isn't over whether people leave because they get criticized too much. That's obviously a real phenomenon. It's over whether that constitutes an "echo chamber." Those people leave because they are used to echo chambers.

@nprofile…uptt I don't think you're going to be persuaded away from this view. However, the reply guys exposing you to a paradigm different from your own, holding you to expectations you're unfamiliar with, are exactly what makes it not an echo chamber. If nobody ever bothered you or came into your notifs to disagree with you, you'd be in an echo chamber. Which it seems is what you're used to.
In most social media, there might be Nazis and communists on the same website. The algorithm constructs separate "bars" for them by simply not showing them each others' posts, heavily auto-moderating what language you can use in your posts, and recommending you people to follow that you like to interact with because you agree with them.
That is what builds social media platform retention. Mastodon has none of that. Instead, you defederate the Nazi bar and only talk to the bars that don't allow Nazis. Most people don't "get" that because it's always been done for them. And that's OK.

@nprofile…uptt Respectfully, Mastodon is less of an echo chamber than any social media on earth presently. That's exactly why people bounce off of it. There is absolutely nothing built into the system to shepherd you into a "good" experience. It's just humans. Love 'em or leave 'em, but if you stay it's on you to curate your experience. A lotta people don't like that, and that's OK. All Mastodon users ever asked for was the option to exist in a space they owned. Not for Threads, Bluesky, and Twitter to all shut down and everyone to be on Mastodon.

@nprofile…qj99 "So the reason that Claude code is capable of outputting valid json is because if the prompt text suggests it should be JSON then it enters a special loop in the main query engine that just validates it against JSON schema for JSON and then feeds the data with the error message back into itself until it is valid JSON or a retry limit is reached."
This is how LLMs do *anything* even remotely approaching accurate or reliable work. They offload it to an actual deterministic algorithm. The man behind the curtain. It's frustrating how people don't seem to realize this, I hope it becomes more common knowledge!

@nprofile…rkgj Part of this is because our society abjectly despises artists. Even putting aside the chilling effect of discrimination and bigotry, our bourgeois elite openly brags about how uncultured they are.

@nprofile…yz28 The crypto wallet checker in this compromise really underlines the fact that there's so much overlap between LLM boosters and crypto boosters. It's all the same marks. They just found something easier to sell to people.

@nprofile…rkgj OH that makes way more sense, it being GoT explains the horrifically drab gray filter over it all too. still it's a terrible representation of brutal medieval combat IMHO, I much preferred The Last Duel even with its idiosyncrasies. I did see that the fight I presume this comes from includes some techniques from actual manuals but yeah I'd never show this to a Hollywood exec and be like "this is what it should look like!"

@nprofile…rkgj this is nonsense with no bearing in actual medieval warfare though, surely you don't really want this?

@nprofile…rkgj I'm well aware that the symbol predates Hitler but Hitler predates the drawing. I doubt he will comment on the reference since I asked him at the time when he posted it and received no response, just his fans dogpiling me about it, none of whom I'm sure have any ulterior motives for liking pictures of swastikas!
