  • I’d probably identify myself as a hikikomori. I’ve had zero meaningful offline connections for more than a decade, and at this moment, I haven’t set foot outside my apartment not even once for almost a year (although there are far more serious reasons for this than just my personality). In the future, if there will be an opportunity, I’d like to move to Asia as a digital nomad working remotely. I don’t expect to make any irl connections there either, but I’d be happy to immerse myself walking around oriental slums, parks, shrines, seaside and enjoying the local cuisine.



  • My favorite is: if you disagree, you can always just go to another instance or even create your own. Other than that, I like how, instead of a total score, posts show likes and dislikes separately. This is more of a technical thing than a cultural one, but it has a big impact on making brigading less effective. In general, all these technical decisions make Lemmy very friendly to a variety of cultures and people from across different spectrums of political and other opinions.

    Proton has some technical issues as well. Recently there was a day when email wasn’t working at all for hours, maybe even half a day. I’m paying for their VPN sub and using it for years and not going to move in nearby future, but if I was picking something now I would carefully consider other options. Never heard about those mentioned in thread though, if they are new I wouldn’t use them, I’d like something with good record track of at least one decade, better few decades.


  • I hate it. I already agreed to use unique unmemorizable password for every account and store them all in Bitwarden and now this is not enough? Yeah, I store my email password in Bitwarden too. With phones it’s even worse, since it’s way more probable to lose your phone than to lose your money due to database password breach. I don’t understand why those probabilities are not estimated when introducing practices like this. Also, I don’t remember the details but in the past I lost some accounts and passwords just by factory resetting the phone which had password manager app installed (probably forgot to transfer passphrases from the phone before wiping it).

    It got a bit more popularity over the last half of year. Not as big as X, but not small AF and it’s the best “easy” alternative. The best “hard” alternative is mastodon, what makes it “hard” is it’s very fragmented and it takes some efforts to pick instance, to understand consequences of your choice, and to figure out how to use your feed for different scenarios.







  • There are studies that look deeper into model collapse in various AI models and demonstrate some interesting results. In this one, there is an example of how model degrades over generations. I think the model presented here is the one used at Meta, but with a smaller number of parameters.

    Example 1. Example of text outputs of an OPT-125m model affected by model collapse—models degrade over generations, for which each new generation is trained on data produced by the previous generation.

    • Input: some started before 1360 — was typically accomplished by a master mason and a small team of itinerant masons, supplemented by local parish labourers, according to Poyntz Wright. But other authors reject this model, suggesting instead that leading architects designed the parish church towers based on early examples of Perpendicular.

    • Outputs:

    • Gen 0: Revival architecture such as St. John’s Cathedral in London. The earliest surviving example of Perpendicular Revival architecture is found in the 18th @-@ century Church of Our Lady of Guernsey, which dates from the late 19th century. There are two types of per- pendicular churches : those.
    • Gen 1: architecture such as St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome or St. Peter’s Basilica in Buenos Aires. There is no evidence that any of these build- ings were built during the reign of Pope Innocent III, but it is possible that they may have been built during the reign of his successor, Pope Innocent.
    • Gen 5: ism, which had been translated into more than 100 languages including English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Polish, Hungarian, Slovak, Lithuanian, Estonian, Finnish, Romanian, Bulgarian, Turkish, Croatian, Serbian, Ukrainian, Russian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz.
    • Gen 9: architecture. In addition to being home to some of the world’s largest populations of black @-@ tailed jackrabbits, white @-@ tailed jackrabbits, blue @-@ tailed jackrabbits, red @-@ tailed jackrabbits, yellow @-.—
