シンエヴァはこれ一撃で沈む

"本当にその通りで、エヴァは孤独とコミュニケーションの問題の真摯な掘り下げが名作への道筋を築いたのに、シンエヴァはシンジやアスカは言うまでもなくゲンドウやミサト(リョウジ)に至るまでパートナーの存在=救済という残念すぎるほどの発想力の欠如が作品の失敗に直結しており擁護しようがない"

“Prior to joining Apple, he was the president of PepsiCo, where he led the creation of the two liter bottle and the Pepsi Challenge.”

Wonder how the inventor of the one liter bottle feels about that.

“Asking an AI chatbot a question consumes a great deal more energy than finding the answer via simple web search or calculator. It adds extra demand for no good reason... a bit like driving to the shops in an SUV instead of riding your bike.”

Or driving any kind of car. AI, like cars, aims to reconfigure everyday life in a way that’s vastly more energy-hungry and polluting… and profitable for a few.

RE: mastodon.social/@CodenameTim/1

This touches on a number of thoughts I've been having about the interaction with LLMs and specialist work: LLMs produce "median" work, but no significant functionality in a framework should ever be "median": it's a problem that should be solved once so that multiple people benefit. There will be no prior art; no need for pattern matching.

I'm in no way an AI hater. It has some very good use cases. But in the commercial world, if you are promoting a product or service, the phrase "AI-powered" translates to "didn't read the room". The majority probably don't see that as a plus? (I could be wrong!)

Boost if you will to get coverage. The results will be interesting if enough people vote.

EDIT: I should have said "hater or lover". But the question was strictly concerning the use of that language in promo and advertising.

"FEP-044f forces servers to create and perpetually host a verification stamp for each individual quote" - @julianJulian Fietkau

Servers on the fediverse die all the time, so as they go offline so does all the context in posts across the fediverse that have quoted users on the dead servers. Imagine reading a magazine and everytime there was a quote from a dead person it was replaced by "Quote pending..."

In the competition to hold our attention, there's little incentive to regulate the stuff that gets clicks, no matter how harmful that stuff is.

It's hard not to notice the uptick in inflammatory content, and not surprising at all that these companies are well aware of it, even encourage it.

@ErikUdenErik Uden 🚩 war die Errichtung eines expansiven Kolonialreiches nie deren Ziel. Natürlich haben nicht alle, die diese Narrative verbreiten, Geschichte studiert oder sich monatelang mit der Geschichte des Zionismus oder Kolonialismus beschäftigt. Das ist die historische Dimension, aber eigentlich geht es doch um die Menschen, die heute in Israel und Palästina leben.

The average level of certain comments on some platforms is truly worrying. Although English is not my native language, I believe it is quite clear that the first part of the latest blog post talks about my first experience with FreeBSD, in 2002. Yet some people keep saying that it is impossible that “with 64 GB of RAM you cannot use mutt while compiling” and they start with the insults.

I should know better by now, but every time it still makes me smile. 🙂

We love seeing community members share why FreeBSD matters to them.

Community member Stefano shares his experience and what keeps him choosing FreeBSD, from performance and reliability to the project’s philosophy.

Tell us in the comments: what makes FreeBSD your platform of choice?
