I think that’s the thing. People who would care (especially those more medium with the administration) mostly have no idea this is going on, people who like this are seeing it because their algorithms are feeding that tweet to them (albeit without any of the nasty context).
It’s bad enough that this is happening today…
But people in high offices getting cheered on for it, by millions of people? For violating the intelligence’s community’s personal lives, and years of guarantees?
Thing about the the Lavender Scare is I don’t think most of the population was aware of that, but a huge fraction is cheering this on.
TBH the best solutions are boring and supply-side. Or regional.
Random examples: heat pumps instead of heaters! Insulation! Geothermal loops or spacer panels for big buildings! Lightweight cars! All would save a hilarious amount of energy, but are way too dull to trend, heh.
…And probably suppressed by industry interest groups. whistles
America: …Nah, this is fine. In fact, let’s elect the platforms’ owner-influencers. scrolls happily
Much harder than you’d think, though there are some interesting schemes (like huge tanks filled with molten stuff, superconducting rings, giant flywheels). And there’s always a loss with storage.
TBH having a diverse array of power sources (including a little storage) is much better.
Also, batteries in electric cars are unfortunately extremely expensive, and extremely heavy. They’re less efficient than you’d think. Standardization and swappability (and reusing idle batteries for the grid) is a great idea, but even just focusing on the technical aspects, challenging.
In other words… Maybe 29 word Twitter captions aren’t a great way to discuss issues?
It’s collapsing under propaganda and a cult of personality.
The USA’s old ethos as a “champion of liberty,” rebel against tyrrany, equalizer (yes, I know) was at least admirable, and the indiviuality and greed were somewhat functional. The weight we’ve collapsed under is the populations collective susceptibility to runaway propaganda machines, which we have completely ignored both for the illusion of “freedom of speech” (even though online spaces are nothing like open forums) and blatant bribery.
If Canda and Europe knew what’s good for them, they’d ban all American social media yesterday.
The Chinese government’s preferred perception is “philosophical and stable,” and all this just plays into that.
The US’s… Well, I don’t even know anymore.
It’s okay for zapping low-effort bots, but there should always be a way for humans to deal with it…
It’s a plausible trap. Depending on the architecture, the image decoder (that “sees”) is bolted onto main model as a more discrete part, and the image generator could be a totally different model. So internally, if it’s not ingesting the “response” image, it has no clue they’re the same.
Of course, we have no idea, because OpenAI is super closed :/
Like how election fraud completely disappeared once Trump won?
I literally don’t know why I’m shadowbanned though, I didn’t do anything even adjacently controversial!
I guess I just talk like a bot? Not that they ban those, ha…
But yeah that’s what gets me, if there was some stated reason for a shadowban or permanent I’d be understanding, but zero feedback? Really?
I have two accounts, with lots of karma, inexplicably shadowbanned. All I do is post in like 3 niche interest tech/fandom subs, zero politics or hostility.
The appeals page is like a black hole. No explanation, no process, no results.
I don’t even know anymore.
And the leaks keep coming, heh.
Good practice is putting anything important on an encrypted USB drive (as that stuff usually isn’t very big), and just treating the machine as “kinda insecure”
If you set up a BIOS password, someone at least needs to unscrew your computer to get stuff. But this is generally not setup because people, well, forget their passwords…
Chatbots are text completion models, improv machines basically, so they don’t really have that ability. You could look at logprobs I guess (aka is it guessing a bunch of words pretty evenly?), but that’s unreliable. Even adding a “I don’t know” token wouldn’t work because that’s not really trainable into text datasets: they don’t know when they don’t know, it’s all just modeling what next word is most likely.
Some non-autoregressive architectures would be better, but unfortunately “cutting edge” models people interact with like ChatGPT are way more conservatively developed than you’d think. Like, they’ve left tons of innovations unpicked.
Oh yeah, its more than that. Low weight helps acceleration, braking (so safety), handling, range, wear on every component, and most of all, cost. The same sized tires will need less pressure, wear much less, and grip harder. If the car is lighter, you don’t need as stiff a chassis, nor as much braking to lock the wheels, less battery, motor, which means you can take even more weight off the car… You get where I’m going.
Racecars are fast because they are light, not because they have big engines and expensive bodies. Little 1500lb cars can lap a $3 million 1500hp (and quite heavy, because of all the stuff in it) Bugatti around a track.
Heavy cars can handle OK, but the cost is big.
+1
Weight is everything. Removing it makes almost literally every aspect of a car better, and it’s usually a terrible negative for EVs.
I think OP means “the mediocre, least bad intersection between critical mass and topical discussion.”
Like, you can probably find users/subs about universities/fields and actually find people in them to respond. Lemmy is great, but good luck finding a mass of discussion around a niche location/field.
Reddit is horrible and deteriorating, yes, but still.
The heck is this title?
Meanwhile, the article itself just cites a few tiny aesthetic changes and like four random Reddit comments. Doesn’t seem like they even tried it themself… That’s justifications for 460 upvotes?
