In all honesty, Mastodon feels like a bigger echo chamber than Twitter. At least for me.
The people on the server are somehow all like minded people. There is rarely any disagreeing going on. The missing exposure to diverse perspective makes mastodon boring to me, and is the reason why I stopped using it.
My Audi has a knob which I can rotate in order to navigate through the menus without taking my eyes off the street. It also has a touch screen, but I only use it when standing still.
It’s easier to train on all github repos if you own github. There is no real alternative to codex.
Stuff like GPT3 is trying to be recreated, but even the eleuther AI guys only collected like 800GB training data, which is much less than what OpenAI has (iirc around 45TB). And apparently their data is very high quality. EleutherAI is pretty much one of the few big model open source competitors with GPT-Neox etc.
They have, but it’s just not interesting. Similar to how the p2p scene doesn’t give a damn about software DRM.
Regarding WV: There is actually lots of open source software and even some discords where WV keys are being shared. FFMPEG is capable of decrypting it, so all you need as ffmpeg inputs is the netflix stream and a key and then dump it to disk.
Regarding pita DRM: the scene is the only capable group who still supply clean patches for modern DRM in games and applications. (Like denuvo)
Clean in the sense that they don’t just install a hypervisor and hook everything for big performance penalties, but actually patch the binary to remove the checks through static analysis. 3DM is the last p2p group I know which done that, but that was half a decade ago. I don’t think there are currently any p2p groups which take a look at this, because it’s just not interesting (effort vs reward) for them.
Would be interesting to know how his BTC were stolen. Because he is a BTC core developer, I believe he followed the best practices, like not writing down his password. So infection or keylogger?
Isn’t a recession necessary to curb inflation? Powell said that economy needs to cool down:
When rates are hiked, a home with a mortgage, using credit cards or seeking loans to start a business become much more expensive. That results in people stopping purchasing homes, cut down on spending, think twice about starting a business. In addition to that companies will lay off workers and enact hiring freezes.
Everyone says it, the signs are obvious, and people here still think we won’t land in a recession.
Kinda feels similar to the irrationality of tesla investors, where everyone knew that the company is overvalued and needs to come down. Yet people continued buying or didn’t want to sell. Why? I would like to know.
To me it seems like it’s the same anti-globalization thing that’s going on everywhere. Suddenly no one wants to have any dependency on anyone. Everyone sees possible levers which others could use against you if you import from them. Everybody wants to be self sufficient now.
Really a strong mind shift across society and I don’t like it.

Maybe I used it wrong ¯\(°_°)/¯
