Trying out Lemmy!
- Comment on Exactly Six Months Ago, the CEO of Anthropic Said That in Six Months AI Would Be Writing 90 Percent of Code 1 day ago:
Ai writes 90% of my code…i don’t code much.
- Comment on Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that 1 week ago:
On bandcamp Friday in 2 days I am going to buy a whole bunch of music to have locally and there are some artists which are not on bandcamp that I still want to have, I know I can buy their CDs or records and save them as files myself but I’d rather just buy and download a high quality digital version and not all of them have digital copies available to download fr the artists…so does anyone have any recommendations for website to buy digital music from that just have a lot of different artists regardless of where they are on platforms?

Love y’all for this!
- Comment on fediverse/activitypub based linktree alternative 2 weeks ago:
I also do it this way via ghost for the website builder and a2hosting for the domain, and then I have multiple pages for linktree type uses, one is personal and one is public links basically, both pages not accessible via buttons on the website so they are only accessible to anyone with the links to the pages or a way to see the whole site tree.
- Comment on It's time to boycott U.S. digital services! Here's a chart to help you do so: 5 weeks ago:
I really wish there was a better version of these kinds of graphics that showed all options better, I guess that would end up being more like a website because there’s so many and followable links are nice, it would end up looking like one of the privacy guide websites but I wish there was something that was less privacy and alternatives focused and was more about giving more options in general because not everyone cares about privacy specifically or being green or whatever else.
- Comment on Is it just my area or has this been an insanely humid summer? 1 month ago:
Idk if op is in the us or not but there was a hurricane in Texas recently and apparently hurricanes will suck water from clear across the country so this summer was uncharacteristically hot, idk about the humidity, maybe the hurricane is pushing water back this way too.
- Comment on Large Language Model Performance Doubles Every 7 Months 2 months ago:
I saw something once that explained how you can have an ai trained on a set of soccer games and have it generate soccer games as a use for it.
The idea is that the model has compressed all the soccer games into a smaller data size form than the total of having let’s say 100+ games on video or whatever.
That’s the real utility I see in generative ai that I know can keep going basically as long as we want to.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
I think what will eventually happen is much like what happened to email, it too was very fragmented feeling early on but more and more adopted it and more servers kept developing and popping up and then at some point more service providers became more similar than alike and then it became what it is now.
The tricky part is that the concept and usefulness of a federated network mostly only grows in the long run and looks like its not going anywhere in the short term much like email and that is always what makes people question its efficacy.
Participation in any and all forms is what establishes it more and more.
- Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent 2 months ago:
Lol woops I guess autocorrect got me with the compassion
- Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent 2 months ago:
The thing is, ai is compassion of intelligence but not intelligence itself. That’s the part that confuses people. Ai is the ability to put anything describable into a compressed zip.
- Comment on Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny 2 months ago:
That wording you did there is perfect, that’s the exact kind of precise wording people need to be hearing, not this other relational wording junk.
- Comment on Fediverse Social Media Guide 3 months ago:
Unironiclaly I would love to see a useful version of a flowchart like this, it would be so easy to share something like this around to people in order to try out the fediverse compared to everything else.
- Comment on The silent force behind online echo chambers? Your Google search 3 months ago:
Here’s hope to ladybird, it seems like a recipe for good things but its still like a year out if I recall for a beta release or something
- Comment on YouTube says goodbye to decade-old video player UI, but users hate the new design 4 months ago:
What a great day to be a grayjay user lol
- Comment on Any fediverse like discord clones? 4 months ago:
I guess i was taking the more generous route with the term then, I was treating capability to interact on the platform as federated which in hindsight doesn’t make as much sense as in the normal context of it.
- Comment on Any fediverse like discord clones? 4 months ago:
In that case matrix also doesn’t federate because its not I terwcting with the fediverse like here on lemmy.
But revolt, matrix, and rocket.chat are all deployable by end users to connect to the platform and interact with people.
- Comment on Any fediverse like discord clones? 4 months ago:
There is revolt and rocket.chat but yes I’d still do matrix over the others unless a direct discord-like clone is absolutely a must for some reason
- Comment on Lemmy specific Apps and Libraries 4 months ago:
For those of us on lemmy.zip we can search a.lemmy.zip and it brings up an alexandrite browser version of lemmy.
We can also do m.lemmy.zip for mobile
Is this exclusive to lemmy.zip or so other do this too?
- Comment on Discord's face scanning age checks 'start of a bigger shift' 4 months ago:
Huh so are you saying revolt must do the image age verification thing now?
I used revolt a few years ago before this age verification stuff started popping up
- Comment on Star trek clothing line 5 months ago:
Unless there is some behind the scenes stuff not in the us they seem to be made in the us, probably material import costs maybe.

What do they mean? I have no idea lol

I think there are companies that you can ship to a valid address then ship to where you are but that is extra money unfortunately

Image? I can’t picture it for some reason, they do have other away mission clothes though

- Comment on Physicists are mostly unconvinced by Microsoft’s new topological quantum chip 5 months ago:
I don’t think Microsoft really did anything extra, I think the media just got trended real hard.
I had known about Microsoft’s work on this topological chip for at least a year before the recent rage about it thanks to a youtube channel called domain of science who went over what was happening here, he is a quantum hardware developer first but stopped to make this YouTube channel which creates maps of various fields of science, its a very good channel highly reccomend it!
- Comment on Short attention span 5 months ago:
Thanks for at least listening at least, what I learned from this is that even without going into a big switch like that it seems like everyone would benefit from getting a general blood panel test done so they can see if there is something specifically unexpectedly off that may be contributing, some peoples tests ive seen seem to be in a very wide range of a target so much so that its not useful to go by that and others I’ve seen seem to have a very narrow range of what the target is so if you ever did get one I’d go do some research of your own just to make sure the numbers look fine.
From what I have learned everyone lacks something or has too much of something without a intentional effort to fix it which may or may not contribute negatively or positively moment to moment but it won’t be good long term so I definitely recommend a general blood panel at the least just to have one for curiosity from an earlier date to look back to in the future.
- Comment on Short attention span 5 months ago:
I used to be in your position, I started focusing on my health and fixed all my problems, now I’m wondering why I didn’t do this sooner…actually I know why, its because I was slowly killing myself and degrading my brain and body. This guy is on thin ice at the moment so I can’t recommend much from him besides taking a look at his protocol page and changing up some of your habits, supplements wise though i can reccomend a equal competitor that has been around longer called novos. It really has been a day and night change since I started a health stack like this and realized I’m a totally worse functioning person without pripritizing my health.
- Comment on GrapheneOS partial offline backup? 5 months ago:
I tried backing up to seedvault through USB once, that did not work at all lol idk where exactly the issue was but the USB would get warm and eventually fail but I could write so much more data to the USB on a computer so it had to be something with the phone.
