  No chatgpt is censored (why is it even relevant, lol), and they censored it so well that it became pretty useless last time I’ve used it. But even compared to other chinese llms deepseek is censored too much.

  No, I don’t have a proof, I’ve tested it a bit and replies were full of factual errors, it tried to gaslight me multiple times, in general it behaves closer to something like llama 8b from two years ago. I haven’t tried the “reasoning” model yet, maybe it’s really great (openai one was shit, so no high expectations here).

  With fake benchmarks and censored llm, that’s how.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mycelium vs. Hempcrete as insulation bricks - Advice needed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Mushrooms in general aren’t great to have in place where people are going to live or be for long time. One of my relatives caught (dunno the english name for it) a condition where mushroom spores cause infection due to inhaling them, when working with mushrooms without respirator, it was pretty bad. Just an anecdote, maybe it’s not really a problem with dead ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mycelium vs. Hempcrete as insulation bricks - Advice needed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure how safe mushroom blocks would be, even dried, feels like a bit of a hazard.

  I’m not aware if someone did serious usability research on UI in the last 10 years, but earlier iterations concluded that color is useful.

  Cool, hope we can return to the land of color from oceans of monochrome. 😀

  And you are pathetic, I was asking how exactly a humanity can achieve eradication of an illness in the country instead of vibes.

  I was in the small re-forestation project, worst kind of people that come there are those who constatntly tell everyone someone should do something fast types, while doing nothing but complain and belittle everyones effort as insignificant or wrong.

  How?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'I rip out my lashes to ease pain': Eye disease afflicts Ethiopia⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What exactly stops Ethiopia from eradicating it? Togo and Ghana apparently did it, other countries as well, it’s not like humanity is running government there. Did Ethiopian government even ask for help? It’s a big and stable and independent country, how humanity can help them exactly?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, to be honest angband was pretty easy as long as you have an understanding of how to play rl. Brogue has some similarity in this with nethack, you need to know and remember things from previous games, which is hard for me. 😅

  Infra Arcana was the brutal one due to a lot of clever machines on levels and sanity management and it’s pretty unforgiving in general.

  I don’t think I’ve beaten any other completely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  brogue, not very good at it and not that interested in reading spoilers to learn.

  1. They should get off drugs.
  2. They should get fired or go to prison because they pledged to not use drugs as part of their employment contract or release from prison.
  3. Believe me weaklings is not the word I would use here. I am not a moral police, nor do I care for moral “qualities” of junkies.

  You had zero opportunities to be robbed by a family member at knife point due to them needing a fix. Sorry not sorry, no compassion here, people like that should be forced either get off the drugs or go to jail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is in a small convenience store where you can buy food things and heat them up while in the store⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You are defending drug addicts that are probably criminals if they are required to give urine tests, sorry your comparison is invalid and demeaning.
