It REALLY rambles, but man, it feels really hard to claim this is just an autocomplete not - it seems like it actually understands the logic.

I mean, it’s kind of silly to lock it behind Discord, but just forcing admits to have a Discord account isn’t that egregious. You’re not forced to use it outside of communicating with Bluesky admins (or whatever goes on in that server).

Okay, Brown Ben Plumm.

Yeah, their answer just intuitively seems very wrong. The ratio between the kid’s weight and your foot’s weight should be equal to the ratio between their final speed and your foot’s required speed. Ridiculous.

I think it’s a big mistake to think that because the most basic LLMs are just autocompletes, or that because LLMs can hallucinate, that what big LLMs do doesn’t constitute “thinking”. No, GPT4 isn’t conscious, but it very clearly “thinks”.

It’s started to feel to me like current AIs are reasonable recreations of parts of our minds. It’s like they’re our ability to visualize, to verbalize, and to an extent, to reason (at least the way we intuitively reason, not formally), but separared from the “rest” of our thought processes.

Bromite is highly outdated. I strongly recommend either adding the Cromite repo, or the DivestOS repo for their Mull or Mulch.

It’s sublime. Pretty much every game you throw at it works perfectly.

Imagine using anything Chromium-based and supporting a wannabe monopoly.

There are pedos everywhere. Being rich just enables them.

Santa’s sled has ablative shielding.

Fedora more or less just works. I followed, like, 5 simple steps on the top Google result for “installing nvidia drivers fedora” and that was all it took. No further configuration or fiddling required.

STOP MINING. STOP EXPANDING. STOP BEING OBSESSED WITH “GROWTH”

b-b-but 8 billion people isn’t enough

YES IT IS

TIL advocating for free speech and democracy is Nazism.

It’s not. The Chinese government is an abusive autocracy that doesn’t respect the “rights” of its people and answers to nothing and no one other than Xi and profits and power. Those three things are king.

Marxists and fascists are two sides of the same coin. They may have somewhat different end goals, but they’re alike in having zero regard for the democratic will of the people. May every Hexbear troll be accursed.

Because Nano just works. Vim is insane affront to good design and standards.

I disagree.

Socialism can be good if the government doesn’t have to resort to totalitarianism to enforce it - and when has that ever happened? Rarely. Rarely.

Cuba did some good things - in education, in medicine - but if it’s such a wonderful country, why is everything there a decaying flashback to the 1950s where everything is falling apart?

It was a stupid failure of engineering, but focusing on the enviromnetalism aspect of the explosion is not particularly rational.
