  I think this is the first time I’ve seen someone bring up Dunning-Kruger to comfort someone rather than insult them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I made filters with uBlock Origin that block out from Lemmy (and some other sites) any post containing one of the words “Trump”, “Elon”, “Musk”, “RFK Jr”, “maga”, or “nazi”.

  You still stay mostly up-to-date because that shit has a way of filtering through anyways, but you cut out 90% of the redundant fluff. I originally set the filters up in November when I was feeling very similar to how I imagine you felt when you made this post.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On Tuesday afternoon, ChatGPT encouraged me to cut my wrists⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t read the whole article because it’s paywalled, but the first two paragraphs confirm what everyone already knew: The author purposely led ChatGPT into weird occult topics, then acted scandalized when ChatGPT got weird and occult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought 4chan shut down permanently like 2 months ago?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should I get my online friend for their birthday?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the screenshot is from their friend’s account, to show us what kinds of games they’ve already played? Wasn’t super clear to me either though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i liek turdles⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is one of the better ones I’ve seen. It looks actually pretty 3D.

  Make the image as large as you can on your screen while still having it all visible. I don’t recommend a phone - try it on a monitor. Don’t try to see the whole image at once - look at one small part. Play with the focus of your eyes until you start to see an edge forming - and when you do, lock onto the edge until you can see it without struggling. Just try to make the edge clearer without bothering with the larger shape yet. Once you do, it should be easier to hold the focus as you look around the image and actually pick out what shapes everything is making.

  I recommend focusing on this part of the image as you start - there’s a pretty cool sea turtle there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo faces legal action over ability to brick Switch 2s whenever they want⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do people really use the term “brick” to refer to consoles with permanent online bans? To me they’re very different and a brick is much worse.

• From a purely political perspective, if you oppose the US tariffs as a US resident, should you buy or avoid buying products subject to tariffs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried out the 8B deepseek and found it pretty underwhelming - the responses were borderline unrelated to the prompts at times. The smallest I had any respectable output with was the 12B model - which I was able to run, at a somewhat usable speed even.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair, I didn’t realize that. My GPU is a 1060 6 GB so I won’t be running any significant LLMs on it. This PC is pretty old at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have 16 GB of RAM and recently tried running local LLM models. Turns out my RAM is a bigger limiting factor than my GPU.

  And, yeah, docker’s always taking up 3-4 GB.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hash tables are often used behind the scenes. dicts and sets in python both utilize hash tables internally, for example.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Two decades after Enron’s bankruptcy, the company is back as a crypto firm?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ars ate the onion?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Washington Post cancellations hit 250,000 – 10% of subscribers⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A billionaire doesn’t buy a news organization for money, they buy it for power - and every lost subscriber is a little less of that. Losing over 10% of your subscribers in one go is huge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is lemmy really any different from reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The main difference to me is the lack of a profit motive, which is the primary driver of enshittification. The federation helps harden it against things like abusive admins, since it’s dead simple to jump ship to another instance in that case, but honestly that’s pretty secondary to me.

  In fact, uBlock Origin is one of the officially recommended extensions by Mozilla

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starlink kit found amid wreckage of Russian drone⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  (Not an actual, like, punching him in the head beatdown.)

  Look, let’s not be picky here
