I’ve never heard of Peri until this thread so I have no opinion of his motivations, but I do watch The 8-Bit Guy and I never got the impression that he was in it for the money. What makes you think that?

There is an implicit assumption here that models are being ‘trained’, perhaps because LLMs are a hot topic. By models we are usually talking about things like decision trees or regression models or Markov models that put in risk probabilities of various eventualities based on patient characteristics.

If these things were being based on traditional AI techniques instead of neural network techniques, why are they getting implemented now (when, as you say, LLMs are the hot topic) instead of a decade or so ago when that other stuff was in vogue?

I think the assumption that they’re using training data is a very good one in the absence of evidence to the contrary.

I’d like to know what specific steps are being taken to remove the bias from the training data, then. You cannot just feed the model a big spreadsheet of human decisions up to this point because the current system is itself biased; all you’ll get if you do that is a tool that’s more consistent in applying the same systemic skew.

Is he more qualified than The 8-Bit Guy?

This implies that Javascript will get moving in the correct direction once it finishes installing dependencies, but it’s just going to get fucked with incorrect behavior that doesn’t even have the courtesy to throw an actual error.

I admit I don’t know how beholden Latino-specific Catholicism is to the Vatican. from my uninformed position it looks less attached.

The previous Pope was the first from Latin America (Argentina), if that gives you any indication.

Trump literally told Netanyahu to “finish the job” — as in, hurry up and genocide the Palestinians faster before world opinion completely shifts against you. That was public knowledge before the election. Arab-Americans had no excuse.

Exactly. If every ad-dependent website went offline tomorrow and all we were left with was Wikipedia, PeerTube, government/academia sites and a bunch of Geocities-esque “labor of love” hobbyist pages, nothing of value would be lost.

My uBlock Origin has been working fine on my Linux desktop running Firefox.

uBlock Origin Lite on my Chromebook, on the other hand, has gotten the “Ad blockers are prohibited” popup a couple of times.

Computing a nonsensical result is itself a failure. Continuing to run while avoiding giving an error in that case accomplishes nothing but to make the program harder to debug.

Sure, I could see that. But on the other hand, this is ostensibly a photo of a building that exists IRL, so clearly it can’t be topologically impossible in an Escher-esque way.

Escher used a lot of repeating patterns. This is more like a Picasso.

You came after me first. I’m just defending myself from your abusive attitude.

“If you don’t want responsibility, don’t take on responsibility” is not an unreasonable position. Cut your condescending crap.

What "my behavior?* Which “behavior?” Gently recommending that poVoq/Kris get some more help? 'Cause that’s the only thing I did! My other comment was directed at your stupid hot take, not him.

I don’t know what you think you’re bitching about, but whatever it is you misinterpreted it out of thin air.

All I’m saying is, if you don’t want to have a responsibility to the community, don’t set yourself up for people to rely on you. That’s your choice to take on that commitment – but once you’ve made that choice that’s what it is, a commitment.

Just to be clear, I’m not mad at poVoq/Kris, who has a very reasonable attitude about the situation. My initial comment giving feedback to him was very mild.

But no, this attitude of people like @[email protected] and you (@[email protected]), that instance admins can just let a bunch of people sign up and a bunch of communities to be created and then just shut it off without warning if they want, and that’s perfectly A-OK and 100% ethical to do, is bullshit and absolutely deserves to be pushed back on!
