The difference was hundreds of MB, but when you’re working with 8GB every bit counts. At that time KDE had an edge over Gnome. At some point the difference wasn’t there anymore.

I was rationing what software I had open so as to avoid hitting swap because that’s when there’s a noticeable lag. Gnome was worse at recovering from that.

8GB was barely enough 10 years ago. That’s when I switched to Arch+KDE. Then KDE started using more. memory.

The difference in attitudes from a decade ago is 180 degrees backwards. Young people and academics are where revolutions begin or end. Those people have been demoralized and pacified.

Kind of tangential to the topic but reddit has been appropriating user names for celebrities and companies. The first known instance (as far as I know) was u/borat. I was surprised thiskind of thing wasn’t a bigger deal.

I wouldn’t be surprised if u/paulmccartney is such a case. A basic name that’s only a 5 year old account. No way nobody grabbed that before.

It makes more sense when viewed as a fancy autocomplete, not an intelligence. There’s no intelligence behind it that is reading your statement and understanding your meaning. It’s responding with text that mathematically likely matches some sort of reply that would fit your statement.

Your statement included Y and the algorithm landed on result that includes Y. There’s no intelligence that could understand that you meant no Y.

That bullshit about the model getting fine tuned just means they are data mining you. It doesn’t make the more LLM intelligent. All it does is add your data to their dataset of which the LLM can draw from for possible future replies. The fundamental limitations of the technology still exists.

I’ve seen it before from retail workers. The first time I thought they were on drugs.

They don’t activate until they decide to act. They don’t engage in formal greeting. Like, “Hi, how can I help you?” Like an idle NPC that hasn’t been triggered to run its script yet.

It’s probably related to the perpetual screen use that causes derealization or whatever. Like how streamers walk around in real life but their mind is engaged in the virtual world of their chat channel, and the real world to them is the virtual one.

Nintendo games didn’t have live A/B testing feedback loops that continuously take metrics and adjust to maximize screen time.

More like they’ll persecute you for being a pedo. The go to move for these chuds is to accuse others of their own crimes.

The whole system is fucked, which includes them or their peers, and people don’t want to hear it. As evidenced by the downvotes-for-disagreement rather than upvotes-for-discussion. It’s not the billionaires themselves. That’s a symptom of the problem. As you’ve outlined eliminating billionaires by whatever means, is not going fix the fundamental problem. It’s nothing but short term solution Some other group will become the rich and powerful. People see that take and get angry at the wrong thing.

The internet is never not a shitshow when it comes to women.

Except when it comes to a country like India or Japan. Then it’s all like nodding and agreement that those men are creeps who need to be restrained.

You start from “China bad” and the work backwards to fit your narrative. It’s almost pointless having discussion online on anything about China.

These are creative writing exercises on reddit. It’s gotten a million times worse since LLMs.

Boomers and Gen-X were the architects of the early digital era. Gen-X gets lumped in with Boomers because kids are dogshit at telling age. Older == Boomer to them. Boomers are the villain so we shall not give them credit for anything. That’s forbidden.

Millennials were too young to be able to make their mark on the early digital world. Millennials largely architected the social media era platforms by the time the generation came of age. This will never be in conversation because Millennials can do no wrong.

They’re not reading but looking for keywords. People with low literacy do that.

The men’s team immediately turned a massive win into a massive embarrassment.

The end social media maybe. It’s fundamentally broken anyways. They can keep breaking it worse for all I care.

We’re not meant to be ruled by algorithms. It was a stupid idea to listen to antisocial neckbeards selling the world on how they could master sociology with graph theory. These are the same geniuses who deride soft sciences as not real science.
