  • Y'all seem to think that those people only exist in one random Lemmy community and never use anything else.

    Women getting too much and too bad male input is literally what leads to women only spaces, not the other way around. And yet they still get male input everywhere else. It's like thinking going to a Warhammer shop will radicalize you because they don't play poker there, it's not even stupid, it's absurd.

  • The iranian site seems to indeed be called Fordo, and is buried too deep for Israeli weapons to be effective. So talking about "destroying Fordo" effectively seems to be equivalent to talking about US nukes according to that article

  • The "memes" by the Lemmy devs really are the best advertisment for Piefed and Mbin

  • I enjoy your enthusiasm but

    I highly recommend [...] to everyone

    and

    It's not for the faint of heart.

    are a bold choice of juxtaposed sentences.

  • I think the idea here is not to say that hiphop/rap does not talk about or even glorify drug use/violence/misoginy, but rather that most popular music styles do, in this specific case classic country.

  • To use .dll VSTs on Linux with Reaper, i use yabridge. If i understood correctly it mixes the use of the linux .so VST format and Wine to trick the VSTs into thinking they run on Windows. So you can run Reaper outside of Wine, and automatically have access to Windows VSTs (once you setup yabridge properly).

    It has some huge limitations (most Waves plugins are a big no, getting Kontakt to work seems to involve black magic way beyond my understanding, etc) but i got some plugins to work very well!

    On the safety of Wine, i'm not sure at all. From what i understand of this forum, Wine itself is not really dangerous, but it does not block applications from communicating with Linux filesystem and environment so it's not 100% safe. However you are slightly protected by the niche aspect of Linux, which makes it unlilely for attackers to take time to code a virus that handles Linux way of working. And from my small experience with hacked VSTs on Windows, most werent a threat, especially when i took them from the same hacking team

  • Yup, seeing a french flag in a private context feels off, you immediately get the sense that whoever put it up has very intense feelings about the Motherland/Fatherland.

  • Well, not sure what you mean by hallucinating, but there are some LLMs (chatgpt3.5-turbo-instruct) that could play chess at a good amateur level (1750 elo), and by studying them, some people found parameters in the model that seemed to represent the current state of the chess board (as in, they corresponded to the game, and changing them artificially made the LLM play as if the game as always been that way).

  • Clearly, and i never said the opposite.

  • Iran which was tolerable to media a few months ago

    In what parallel reality do you live in ? It has been classified as one of the worse country for press freedom since years by RSF, they shutdown internet when things get out of hand and banned a lot of social medias.

  • From the Wikipedia articles of chess and shatranj (old middle-east/south asia ancestor of chess), without checking their sources :

    • king, knight, rook and pawn move the same (except the initial 2 squares for the pawn, which were introduced later)
    • queen only moves one square at a time diagonally
    • bishop only moves two squares at a time diagonally (jumping over potential pieces)
  • Permanently Deleted

    Jump
  • Do you want to leave your country, at least for a bit of time (or is it possible that political/social instabilities will make you want that in the future)? That could be a hint for medicine.

    I studied law for 3 years and hated it, but it's mostly because of my philosophical/political beliefs. On the bright side, it is very diverse, so you could quite easily connect it to something you like (art, environment, digital, politics, etc).

    Anyway, good luck for your exams!

  • This is a very appropriate thread to wish you a happy cake day!

  • I think i do not, but my gf loves raw cabbages and cannot stand it when it's cooked in any form.

  • Here is the main blog post that i remembered : it has a follow up, a more scientific version, and uses two other articles as a basis, so you might want to dig around what they mention in the introduction.

    It is indeed a quite technical discovery, and it still lacks complete and wider analysis, but it is very interesting for the fact that it kinda invalidates the common gut feeling that llms are pure lucky random.

  • Oh yes, cost of training are ofc a great loss here, it's not optimized at all, and it's stuck at an average level.

    Interestingly, i believe some people did research on it and found some parameters in the model that seemed to represent the state of the chess board (as in, they seem to reflect the current state of the board, and when artificially modified, the model takes modification into account in its playing). It was used by a french youtuber to show how LLMs can somehow have a kinda representation of the world. I can try to get the sources back if you're interested.

  • Actually, a very specific model (chatgpt3.5-turbo-instruct) was pretty good at chess (around 1700 elo if i remember correctly).

  • Law. I was pretty hyped up when i went to university to study it, but the more i learnt on the foundations of it and discovered the people it created, the more i hated it. Now I'm doing completely different things, and i'm glad my parents didn't force me to keep doing it.

  • I mean, resources can also include time, energy, contacts, social abilities, all of which are much more important than money when organizing a protest, especially a 'small' one. Ofc, your argument still stands that thz best way to get something is to work for it to be done, but it is reasonable to think that someone might miss resources in the broad sense as above, making it much more work relatively speaking.
