- Comment on Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not 2 days ago:
Ah the old “owe $100 and the bank owns you; owe $100,000,000 and you own the bank” defense.
- Comment on A metaphor for capitalism? 5 days ago:
Goddamnit. I was sad and still laughed.
- Comment on Question about harware Raid vs Truenas pools 6 days ago:
The safest and most flexible option would be to configure the BIOS to not use the RAID controller and just “see” the drives as a regular JBOD, and then setup a ZFS RAID-Z1 array and configure your zvols, etc. in that instead. RAID-Z1 is functionally very similar to old-school RAID-5. There’s virtually no performance penalty with software RAID these days, and you’re eliminating the proprietary RAID controller as a single point of failure.
- Comment on Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify users 6 days ago:
He’s a modern day arms dealer.
- Comment on Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify users 6 days ago:
On the one hand, I understand the inherent limitations of pseudonymous social media and why a corporation and even end users might benefit from authoritative user identification.
On the other hand, oh hell no.
- Comment on Wait, it's all projection? 6 days ago:
Wouldn’t this technically be reflection, not projection?
- Comment on Reddit will help advertisers turn ‘positive’ posts into ads 1 week ago:
- Comment on Hertz, showing the difference between science and engineering 1 week ago:
He probably would have figured it out had he had time to evolve into Megahertz.
- Comment on Announcing: Piefed.zip - our new Piefed instance! 1 week ago:
Oh, yeah, this is not a knock against the admins at all. The .zip team might have an amazing set of contingency plans, etc - I have no idea - which would make this more or less a moot point. I’m just not a fan of single points of failure.
- Comment on Announcing: Piefed.zip - our new Piefed instance! 1 week ago:
Since this is tagged on lemmy.zip I’d like to point out that it might not be the best idea for existing lemmy.zip users to also use piefed.zip since if the admin(s) are no longer able to continue both of your presences would go down. In the true spirit of the fediverse it makes sense to spread your logins around.
- Comment on The Meta AI app is a privacy disaster: Meta's AI App ‘Discover’ Feed Publicly Exposes Private Chats Without Users Knowing. 1 week ago:
TheMetaAI appis a Privacy Disaster. - Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s a fair concern in general but fine in this case since the company almost certainly edited in the lux operon which is one of the most well studied and understood gene switches out there. It and similar pathways have been used in many branches of science for decades. I think the novelty here is just that it’s in a consumer product instead.
- Comment on China claims to have developed the world's first AI-designed processor — LLM turned performance requests into CPU architecture 2 weeks ago:
It’s hard to imagine how an LLM would figure out gate-level performance improvements but I could definitely see a GAN doing that with enough time and effort.
- Comment on Plato got virtually everything wrong 2 weeks ago:
I give you a lot of credit. I got about 3 paragraphs in (which was the amount I deemed necessary and sufficient enough to judge the quality of the whole) and bailed.
- Comment on The world could experience a year above 2°C of warming by 2029 2 weeks ago:
As stupid as this sounds I think we (and really the media, but we know which side they’re on) should be doing this in F for US audiences. Saying “hey, it’s now 5°F hotter than it was in the 1970s” is more immediately meaningful — and the bigger number looks scarier too.
- Comment on When an instance like lemm.ee shuts down, what happens to the posts and comments? 3 weeks ago:
oh good point (and not entirely obvious).
- Comment on When an instance like lemm.ee shuts down, what happens to the posts and comments? 3 weeks ago:
Not like we can stop it. If it’s online and not behind some kind of auth it’s getting slurped.
- Comment on When an instance like lemm.ee shuts down, what happens to the posts and comments? 3 weeks ago:
Ah that makes sense. So federation implies copying essentially, and not merely linking. Thanks!
