Management caused data loss by not mandating backups.

Before Facebook etc, forums were really small and plenty. They might be about a certain topic, but you were there for the few loud people that kept it going. Following them, pretty much. Didn’t like them, you went to another forum of that topic, same deal there.

It’s nothing like the forums today full of new accounts asking one question and moving on.

Lemmy is also not really anything like those forums. The reason why you call Lemmy a forum but Facebook not is more accidental, maybe because of marketing, definitely not because of rigorous definitions.

In any case, @toiletobserver@lemmy.world’s observation applies to social media, forums, news sites with a comment section and any other site.

I mean, every chat starts with “Copilot is an AI and may make mistakes.”

The law disagrees. Compression has never been a valid argument. A crunchy 360p rip of a movie is a mostly useless approximation but sharing it is definitely illegal.

Fun fact, you can use mpeg for a very decent perceptual image comparison algorithm (eg for facial recognition) , by using the file size of a two-frame video. This works mostly for the same theoretical reasons as neural network based methods. Of course, mpeg was built by humans using legally obtained videos for evaluation, but it does so without being able to reproduce any of those at all. So that’s not a requirement for compression.

As you can learn from reading the article, they do also store the information itself.

They learn and store a compression algorithm that fits the data, then use it to store that data. The former part of this is not new, AI and compression theory go back decades. What’s new and surprising is that you can get the original work out of attention transformers. Even in traditional overfit models that isn’t a given. And attention transformers shine at generality, so it’s not evident that they should do this, but all models tested do it, so maybe it is even necessary?

Storing data isn’t a theoretical failure, some very useful AI algorithms do it by design. It’s a legal and ethical failure because openai etc have been claiming from the beginning that this isn’t happening, and it also provides proof of the pirated work it’s been trained on.

We still give them shitloads yeah, but it’s complicated. Changes have been made globally. There’s basically no risk to us. The antibiotics don’t get into our food, and the superbugs that might breed aren’t viable in humans. Wild animals still pose more risk.

Is that an upgrade or a fresh install?

Also because many software did version checks by doing a substring search “Windows 9”.

AdBlock is also a rules format, obviously you run it with ublockorigin or Adguard etc.

The AdBlock blocklist does accept cookie banners without concenting to tracking, when possible.

Check out the rules. It doesn’t just zap the overlay, it executes some custom js for every site.

Kinda inconsiderate to spread their insanities here.

Honest question, where do you see those tankies? Why talk about them here?

That’s a line from the news site’s reporter, not the kid. It’s a slippery slope though for sure, but because of the age verification thing. They ought to ban black box ranking outright for all ages.

You could see the little 2x2 blocks as a pixel and call it RGGB. It’s done like this because our eyes are so much more sensitive to the middle wavelengths, our red and blue cones can detect some green too. So those details are much more important.

A similar thing is done in jpeg, the green channel always has the most information.

the real purpose of the ban is to curb the growing political awareness of young people

Hot take. Maybe people shouldn’t be getting their political awareness from algorithmic sites. For every teen who learns Gaza etc there’s 10 that learn about the Manosphere and how bad vaccines are.

They said the same in Massachusetts and then didn’t https://www.wonkette.com/p/massachusettss-millionaire-tax-still

It’s not great.

You can only spend once. You can spend the taxes on investment profits indefinitely.

Memory hogging browsers usually do release memory when pressured. You can take it further by getting extensions that unload unused tabs.

The problem is electron apps that load the whole browser core over and over.

Doesn’t work. Any semi complex problem with multiple constraints and your team of AIs keeps running circles. Very frustrating if you know it can be done. But what if you’re a “fractional CTO” and you get actually contradictory constraints? We haven’t gotten yet to AIs who will tell you that what you ask is impossible.
