@itsfoss I try to provide (hopefully) useful feedback when I can. Bug reports, suggestions, etc. Some projects are extremely daunting though with extremely high requirements for posting a bug/suggestion and it even feels like a hostile environment sometimes with a few where I just am afraid even to post something.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 28-Dec-2023 07:26:50 JST Nazo @arstechnica Oh they are throwing everything they have into it. They honestly believe that LLMs are AI.
Too bad they are not and can never be. That is a *LOT* of wasted resources...

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 28-Dec-2023 07:19:17 JST Nazo @arstechnica Frankly it should be illegal how so many of these services are actually charging people for ad-supported services. They're literally double-dipping.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 27-Dec-2023 08:40:40 JST Nazo @nixCraft The question in my mind at this point is now that they are using these captchas to help train second-layer LLM models and we're being fed "AI" generated images to identify, when it produces something that vaguely resembles the thing it says to identify (say a banana with red, green, and blue leds in this example) are we supposed to click on the thing that resembles but is wrong or not? Will it penalize us because it thought it was actually that thing even though it's wrong?

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 27-Dec-2023 07:08:45 JST Nazo @nixCraft My phone doesn't have true dual SIM, but it does have a physical SIM slot as well as an eSIM capability. I could use both if I needed to. However, I don't think I'm likely to do any sort of job or anything where I would actually need both.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 27-Dec-2023 07:03:49 JST Nazo @nixCraft I still can't understand why people are, as a whole, just so wishy washy that they actually allow companies to do this stuff. The whole basis of capitalism supposedly being a thing that supposedly works is that when faced with crap that is bad, the markets would put their collective foot down and refuse to buy. Instead companies like Adobe develop a stranglehold and people just go along with it grudgingly.
GIMP seems the most reasonable, but still lacks a lot of polish.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 25-Dec-2023 07:29:01 JST Nazo @nixCraft To be fair, for some reason it seemed to use a LOT of CPU power to draw snow on a website. It's ironic that today this would actually work out a lot better than it did then, lol. On today's CPUs the snow would probably be easy, but back then it could really make a page struggle to handle well on any but the most powerful CPUs and probably irritated a lot of people.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Sunday, 24-Dec-2023 07:59:53 JST Nazo @nixCraft Never in my life have I seen or heard of such a thing.
I have a feeling this is also an exploit waiting to happen given how it must parse and how lazily they likely implemented the parsing...

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Sunday, 24-Dec-2023 07:58:46 JST Nazo @nixCraft Are we even sure that normal people are real? Perhaps they are all but projections upon the simulated reality. Mere NPCs meant to flesh out the false reality.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Sunday, 24-Dec-2023 06:28:48 JST Nazo @arstechnica After all, it's the companies who profit from this whole mess who pay the lawmakers to not do anything about it. It was such a great idea to let a system of what amounts to essentially just open bribery be an official thing in our government. Such a wonderful idea.

Mostly it's useful if you don't trust your ISP or other things in between you and the Internet as a whole and just want to hide activity from them. (With so many ISPs basically spying on their own users this does make sense. Plus public WiFi... *shivers* )

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Saturday, 23-Dec-2023 07:54:34 JST Nazo @nixCraft Funny thing is, I think most modern monitors still have a VGA input as an option. Even if they don't recognize what it is, you'd think they would put two and two together. But then again, quite a lot of laptop users for some reason only use laptops and prefer to spend twice as much for half the hardware, then connect keyboard, mouse, monitor, and etc all on a desk. (I really don't get it...)

Heck, some computers still run Windows 7. Switching to Linux makes sense for security and the latest features of course, but either way it's beyond mere idiocy to claim that just because one piece of software stops having updates the entire system is trash. Frankly it's a little bit insulting to the intelligence of their readers and harmful if anyone actually thinks that way to further encourage it.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Friday, 22-Dec-2023 07:49:30 JST Nazo @arstechnica Can... can they also do this for adults? Like, maybe privacy should be a fundamental right. Period.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 21-Dec-2023 08:41:50 JST Nazo @arstechnica The thing is, humans really do suck at driving. Period. We have lots of issues -- distractions, desire to go too fast, etc etc. I really want to see self-driving as a thing take off, but some like Tesla are making it very tough to actually happen with all their problems. A *GOOD* self-driving vehicle could decrease accident rates exponentially. Not even linearly.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 21-Dec-2023 08:07:06 JST Nazo @arstechnica It's the 36 million customers who are actually the ones paying the price. No doubt the company be fined 1% of their yearly income and pretend to care, but this won't really undo the damage or prevent the next bit of carelessness. I'm sure those 36 million will even each receive $1.26 for their troubles.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 21-Dec-2023 08:03:33 JST Nazo @arstechnica If there were justice in this world, every single member of the GOP would have to experience the rest of their lives as poor people as a reward for their efforts to ruin the lives of everyone who is. Preferably each as victims of their own policies.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 21-Dec-2023 07:54:41 JST Nazo @arstechnica This is the sort of thing LLMs are actually good for, but I do hope people aren't forgetting that everything they produce must be hand-checked too. They don't actually understand chemistry and are just putting together patterns, so it can also "hallucinate" in this too.
