First night on the moon is always the hardest. Just get a little shelter going and wait until the sun comes up again

It’s like a bivector foil, just a really minor form of it.

Aliens probably sent it across the DMT waves to slow us down while they approach us.

I wonder if it would act as pro-Tesla or anti-Tesla to show a list of all the problems with Teslas and their current status.

It’s called “being an Uber driver”

Degenerating. Defenestrating. DEFEDERATING!

Sometimes you can stomp the ideology out of a person without having to stomp the person.

I don’t post on the tankie instances. I just call them out in the comments.

So far they haven’t banned me. So far as I know I’m only banned from one community, which is something about climate change.

The tankies, to their miserable credit, seem ready for a fight. I respect that.

Honestly I’m in favor of people talking even when it isn’t nice. I’d rather have angry words than no words, you know?

I’m pretty much a natural enemy of tankies, but I love being able to talk to them.

I too view defederation with suspicion.

Just piggybacking onto this thread to point out to the youngins who say “no worries” when I thank them for making my coffee or whatever:

This thread demonstrates the way my generation uses the phrase. It’s less like:

“Thank you”
“No worries”

and more like

“I’m sorry!”
“No worries”

The existence of a list of linked, and a list of blocked, implies three, possibly four independent states of “instance relationship”.

Can someone who understands it deeply please explain to me? What is the relationship between a “linked” instance and a “blocked” instance, and how does that relate to “defederated”?

Does federation require active configuration from one instance to another? Or is federated the default relationship when no config data exists?

Skateboarding on multilevel o'neill cylinders is gonna be sick (lemm.ee)
 

O’Neill cylinder is that big rotating cylinder space station format that uses the spin for artificial gravity.

At higher elevations the gravity will be lower. BMX bikes will be fun too. Make a big jump and you can go across the center and land on the other side, or go into a zero-gee part in the middle, which works out if you’re always inside a curve.

Sleep is when your brain's LLM retrains on the day's conversation (lemm.ee)
 

I’ve noticed ChatGPT gets less able to do precise reasoning or respond to instructions, the longer the conversation gets.

It felt exactly like working with a student who was getting tired and needed to rest.

Then I had above shower thought. Pretty cool right?

Every few months a new ChatGPT v4 is deployed. It’s got new training data, up through X date. They train up a new model on the new content in the world, including ChatGPT conversations from users who’ve opted into that (or didn’t opt out, can’t remember how it’s presented).

It’s like GPT is “sleeping”, to consolidate “the day’s” knowledge into long term memory. All the data in the current conversation is its short term memory. After handling a certain amount of complexity in one conversation, the coherence of responses breaks down, becomes more habitual and less responsive to nuance. It gets tired and can’t go much further.

McDonalds hasbrowns (lemm.ee)
 

I just stopped at McDonalds and ordered two orders of hash browns. I expected to get four “patties” of hash browns, but only got two. Each order has one big oval shaped chunk of hash browns.

I asked the guy about it, asked when it had changed, and he said it’s always been that way. I searched google images, and all the pictures show a single chunk to an order.

Does anyone else remember an order of hash browns being two separate pieces?

For me this changed in like the last week because the last time I got an order with two in it was a week or two ago.

I asked GPT-4 for a list of the most important threats to human civilization, their likelihood, and why they were considered threats.

GPT's output is also pasted into the comments.
