smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Technology@lemmy.world•Leading AI Models Are Completely Flunking the Three Laws of RoboticsEnglish221·10 days agoIt’s a goddamn stochastic parrot, starting from zero on each invocation and spitting out something passing for coherence according to its training set.
“Not understanding what is happening” in regards to AI is NOT “we don’t jniw how it works mechanically” it’s “yeah there are so many parameters, it’s just not possible to make sense of / keep track of them all”.
There’s no awareness or thought.
Last place of employment had
develop
as the default branch. Actually quite liked it. (There also was a main branch, which only got merged into as part of the release flow, so might as well have called itrelease
, I suppose).Anyway, IMO it communicated “volatile and subject to change” a lot more clearly than things like “head of main” etc

smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Europeans, how far do you walk for groceries?8·17 days agoI bike (more carrying capacity) about 9km each direction. (Belgium to Germany, funnily enough.) That being said, not wanting to do so under the burning sun is absolutely valid.

smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Linux Gaming Distro Benchmarks - CachyOS vs Nobara vs Bazzite vs Windows 11 | Phazer TechEnglish5·21 days agoThank you. Videos about comparing Linux distros for gaming are clickbait at best, but are ususally an admission that the videomaker doesn’t know what they’re talking about at all.
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Linux@lemmy.ml•Three Years of Nix and NixOS: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly6·22 days agoThink about it like this:
-
with ansible, you are responsible for making sure that executing the described steps in the described order leads to the desired result
-
with nix, you describe what you want your system to look like, and then figuring out how to get there is nix’s problem (or rather, is obvious to nix thanks to nixpkgs)

You can turn basically any Linux distro into “Steam OS”. There’s nothing magical or different about Steam OS.

smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Technology@lemmy.world•Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsAppEnglish7·1 month agoMatrix fits the bill.
Unless you don’t like the federated nature.
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Theoretical Private Age Confirmation -- Possible?2·1 month agoFair, maybe remove the question altogether, and have dedicated GOV endpoints for specific attestations?
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Theoretical Private Age Confirmation -- Possible?2·1 month agoWhile that’s true from a technical perspective…
How/where do you keep the certificate? If you either need an app for it, or need to manually install it on your device, most users would probably be out. The benefit of my suggestion is that you need absolutely nothing except a way to authenticate with GOV.
- is a Problem with all of these, that’s for sure.
I fjnt get the part about the info service tbh
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Theoretical Private Age Confirmation -- Possible?2·1 month agoAs long as your browser saves an auth token or something for GOV somewhere, all of that can happen without user interaction.
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Theoretical Private Age Confirmation -- Possible?7·1 month agoI think that at the bare minumum, the PORN<->GOV connection must not occur. How about this (simplified):
- USER visits porn site
- PORN site encrypts random nonce + “is this user 18?” with GOV pubkey
- PORN forwards that to USER
- USER forwards that to GOV, together with something authenticating themselves (need to have GOV account)
- GOV knows user is requesting, but not what for
- GOV checks: is user 18?, concats answer with random nonce from PORN, hashes that with known algo, signs the entire thing with its private signing key
- GOV returns that to USER
- USER forwards that to PORN
- PORN is able to verify that whoever made the request to visit PORN is verified as older than 18 by singing key holder / GOV, by checking certificate chain, and gets freshness guarantee from random nonce
- but PORN does not know anything about the user
There’s probably glaring issues with this, this is just from the top of my head to solve the problem of “GOV should know nothing”.

smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto World News@lemmy.world•Putin says 'all of Ukraine is ours' as he eyes Sumy cityEnglish15·1 month agoIs it just me or has the number of lunatics on Lemmy really spiked in the past week? I mean, look at this guy… Or have we “finally” been discovered by the disinformation bots?
Lol. Living alone does not make you lonely.
Honestly, I’m gappy for my fellow Germans that so many are able to live by themselves! It’s a good sign that fewer people need to share rent.
