We don't. It probably is. Mastodon is the way, but they need to fix a few things themselves.

Ok, thanks for clarifying. FWIW, I find the built-in adblocker in Vivaldi extremely dependable, without the performance cost of loading an add-on (especially on top of a base browser that is significantly slower to begin with).

Honest question: why is it not safe after then? They developed their own adblocker if I'm not mistaken? What am I missing?

I already know that nobody will mention Vivaldi, or if they do, they will be drowned out by a chorus of voices shouting "Firefox", but if you like the chromium ecosystem or just don't like waiting for web pages to function, it's a great alternative with a built-in adblocker that doesn't depend on uBlock Origin.

may I ask which third-party tool you use? i'm using onedriver and it's pretty unreliable in my experience

It will legit be a fantastic era for Linux on the desktop though... imagine how cheap we'll be able to get perfectly good hardware.

'tis true that women's bodies hold great power, and not irrelevant at all to the discussion at hand. rather than reiterate and attempt to paraphrase jaron Lanier on the topic of how male obsession with creating artifical people is linked to womb envy, I'll just link to a talk in which he explains it himself:

Like any occupation, it's a long story, and I'm happy to share more details over DM. But basically due to indecision over my major I took an abnormal amount of math, stats, and environmental science coursework even through my major was in social science, and I just kind of leaned further and further into that quirk as I transitioned into the workforce. bear in mind that data science as a field of study didn't really exist yet when I graduated; these days I'm not sure such an unconventional path is necessary. however I still hear from a lot of junior data scientists in industry who are miserable because they haven't figured out yet that in addition to their technical skills they need a "vertical" niche or topic area of interest (and by the way a public service dimension also does a lot to help a job feel meaningful and worthwhile even on the inevitable rough day here and there).

My "day job" is doing spatial data science work for local and regional governments that have a mandate to addreas climate change in how they allocate resources. We totally use AI, just not the kind that has received all the hype... machine learning helps us recognize patterns in human behavior and system dynamics that we can use to make predictions about how much different courses of action will affect CO2 emissions. I'm even looking at small GPT models as a way to work with some of the relevant data that is sequence-like. But I will never, I repeat never, buy into the idea of spending insane amounts of energy attempting to build an AI god or Oracle that we can simply ask for the "solution to climate change"... I feel like people like me need to do a better job of making the world aware of our work, because the fact that this excuse for profligate energy waste has any traction at all seems related to the general ignorance of our existence.

I find it very funny that people are so concerned about false positives. Models like these should really only be used as a screening tool to catch things and flag them for human review. In that context, false positives seem less bad than false negatives (although, people seem to demand zero error in either direction, and that's just silly).

If you don't mind, I'd be interested to see the images you used. The broad validation tests I've done suggest 80-90% accuracy in general, but there are some specific categories (anime, for example) on which it performs kinda poorly. If your test samples have something in common it would be good to know so I can work on a fix.

We had a classic bot on r/SubSimGPT2Interactive that was trained on discussions about Dwarf Fortress. It was always one of my favorites even though I had never played Dwarf Fortress, and it took me a while to realize that more than half of the absurdity it was generating was due to the game just being like that. GPT-2 was merely shuffling the deck and dealing the cards

Me: I've cut my coffee intake down to one cup a day! Look how disciplined and restrained I am!

Also me: drinks 1.5 cans of Celsius per day

Especially since, like, women have been using machines to pleasure themselves for a while now and it's still kind of a novelty for most het cis men

Tell that to the MAGA working class

Wait, did I miss something? I was under the impression that Vivaldi wouldn't be affected by the Manifest v3 change since their adblocker is independently developed... is that not the case?

Yes, and I loved it at first sight--it's the only version of Firefox that feels modern and delivers competitive performance in terms of resource efficiency. I'm backing the project via Patreon and really hope it develops into something even better... though I have to admit that I've mostly switched back to Vivaldi because of its greater customization ability and mobile browser (Zen is desktop only) as well as its built-in adblocker, which even works in iOS, unlike uBlock Origin.

I think that there are some people working on this, and a few groups that have claimed to do it, but I'm not aware of any that actually meet the description you gave. Can you cite a paper or give a link of some sort?

It's 100% this. Politics is treated like a sport in the USA; the only thing that matters is your side winning, and which side you root for is largely dictated by location and family history. This is encouraged by the private news media, who intentionally report on election campaigns in this manner in order to increase ratings and ad revenue. Social media only made it worse because it made a lot of abstract identity dimensions, such as political affiliation, feel stronger to people than their everyday lives.
