I bet USB c connections could fit in a floppy drive slot

I pay for services (including lemmy - support your instance leeches) and use an ad blocker for everything else.

There’s a lower cost ad plan for YouTube music is that what you mean?

I thought everyone wanted YouTube premium without the music. That’s the ad plan: it shows ads on music because you’re not paying for ad free music.

Yes but we’re also more mastodon less bluesky. If a bluesky-esque clone of Reddit comes along with better UX and paving over the issues of federation then it will win, the way Bluesky has beaten out Mastodon as the Twit alternate

I heard rumors someone burned his house down. No idea if they’re true or not.

Affinity is great

It is my understanding that the fundamental architecture (the general purpose transformer) is identical between the “AI” used by Black Rock and by OpenAI

If you have some evidence to the contrary I’d always appreciate the chance to learn.

But the transformer based architecture is fundamentally flawed: it will always hallucinate.

The “AI” being used by big corporations is still fundamentally an LLM and has all the flaws of an LLM. It’s not a hot wheels car vs a tank, it’s a hot wheels car vs a $2 billion RC car

I’m having an aneurysm trying to understand what’s being said here, can anyone explain?

Zoom ai transcriptions also make things up.

That’s the point. They’re hallucination engines. They pattern match and fill holes by design. It doesn’t matter if the match isn’t perfect, it will patch it over with nonsense instead.

I dug into this more because I was under the impression it was the case that most states did not: here’s what I found

https://felonvoting.procon.org/state-felon-voting-laws/

23 states let you vote after prison. 9 fully stop you off your rights. DC & 2 State let you vote from prison. The others are some level of parole or parole and probation.

Which means overall 9/51 are full loss: everywhere else you can theoretically get it back.

Tbf I think felons should be allowed to vote.

… Unless your felony was committed while voting. That seems like an exception…

… No but Bimpson is… https://www.houseofnames.com/bimpson-family-crest

The vote is today, the propaganda war has been ongoing for years

The original community was namenerds and digging through the original poster’s submission history I’m seeing some pretty bad poetry, 90 day fiance content and grieving the death of their parents: all spread out across the past year.

… I don’t think it’s a shit post.

Not necessarily the same hacker.

This guy is outing the archive for terrible security posture by bringing attention to it because they received disclosures and did not fix them.

Don’t get shit twisted - he’s the hero here. IA fucked up and has been vulnerable to manipulation by any number of corporate or national actors this entire time.

Let me take the tag off my bird then snap it’s wings back together

Note that a TikTok link is un-cleanable. It will always trace back to you. Do not ever share TikTok links unless you’re willing to expose your identity to the person you’re sharing with.

Even then those are bad cleaning instructions…
