  Well, for anyone who knows a bit about how LLMs work, it’s pretty obvious why LLMs struggle with identifying the letters in the words

  Why not just use Ungoogled Chromium?

  It’s very actively maintained. It’s just a hardened version of Firefox, you can get similar results using a privacy-focused user.js profile with Firefox. What’s nice about is is that once Firefox introduces a new update with more breaches of privacy, they adjust the settings on their side, so it’s just more convenient. And you can configure some things via the GUI instead of some JavaScript files

  I’ve made a choice a while ago while deploying Nextcloud. Now I don’t care, as I trust myself that I have opted for something reasonable which was hopefully not SQLite

  I doubt UK could surpass China and Russia in terms of internet censorship any time soon

  You know you can just switch to some small instance that’s not blocked and you’re gonna be good? Even in China the small Lemmy instances work while the big ones are obviously blocked

  Did you actually read what you quote? It aligns with what I said - Chinese feel mostly satisfied with their government and don’t want the democracy, and don’t feel that their government is democratic. Claiming that Chinese believe that their country is democratic is not what Harvard did in the document that you’ve provided.

  Regarding “not only possible but likely”: please do the math. If the share of population believing in X is 90%, the chance that none of the five selected people do X is (1 - 0.9)^5 = 0.001% (i.e., 1 in 100,000), assuming independence across people. That’s what you call likely?

  PS. Why is this always the .ml instance 😀

  Well, I must have been super unlucky then as I have talked about it with like 5 different Chinese met at 5 different circumstances

  Over 90% of Chinese agree that “democracy is important”? Was this survey conducted in Taiwan and signed as “China” complying with “one China policy”?
