My common warm common cold is going away! I'm still coughing, but no sneezing or running nose. My appetite is also back to the usual, and I don't feel disgusted at passion fruit juice any more. (Seriously, passion fruit juice is delicious... unless your smelling is affected, then it becomes awful.)

AI is often only trained on neurotypical cishet white men.

Can you back up this claim? Unless you're just being an assumer, or you expect people to be suckers/gullible/"chrust" you.

What happens when a community of colour is full of people who don’t have the same conversational norms as white people

In this statement alone, there are not one but two instances of a racist discourse:

1. Conflating culture (conversational norms) with race.
2. Singling out "white people", but lumping together the others under the same label ("people of colour").

You are being racist. What you're saying there boils down to "those brown people act in weird ways because they're brown". Don't.

What happens when a neurodivergent community talk to each other in a neurodivergent way? Autistic people often get called “robotic”, will the AI feel the same way and ban them as bots?

The reason why autists are often called "robotic" has to do with voice prosody. It does not apply to text.

And the very claim that you're making - that autists would write in a way that an "AI" would confuse them with bots - sounds, frankly, dehumanising and insulting towards them. And reinforcing the stereotype that they're robotic.

[From another comment] Did you write your comment with chatgpt?

Passive aggressively attacking the other poster won't help.

Odds are that you're full of good intentions writing the above, but frankly? Go pave hell back in Reddit, you're being racist and dehumanising.

As long as the AI is capable enough

The model-based decision making is likely not capable enough. Specially not for the way that Reddit Inc. would likely use it - leaving it in charge of removing users and content assumed to be problematic, instead of flagging them for manual review.

I'm specially sceptic on the claim in the site that their Hive Moderation has "human-level accuracy". Specially over time - as people are damn smart when it comes to circumventing automated moderation. Also let us not forget that the human accuracy varies quite a bit, and you definitively don't want average accuracy, you want good accuracy.

Regarding the talk about biases, from another comment: models are prone to amplify biases, not just reproduce them. As such the model doesn't even need to be trained only in a certain cohort to be biased.

They foster community, sometimes they’re the only ones posting content, and they try and negotiate with the users to calm them down.

This. So much this. I'd say that, if more than 20% of your moderative actions are removing content and/or banning users, you're either power-tripping or fucking lazy. Because most of the time you should be doing the things that you mentioned - talking with the users, posting and commenting, so goes on.

What interests me the most in this date is the downwards trend between half 2021 to June 2023. I wonder if it's r/askreddit-specific, or a general trend - since the site was already showing signs of decadence years before the APIcalypse.

1. Go to r/askreddit. Sort by "hot" (default).
2. Check the first posts that don't show the voting score. (They're fairly recent, but rose to "top", so they'll likely get a lot of views.)
3. Look for the best two~three top comments from each of those posts. Reply them with an one-liner that is supportive, funny (or tries to), or random trivia.

When I still used Reddit I used this technique to amass ~1k karma in a day. I did this often as I only used temp accounts for a few years.

None. I hate pass-aggro; I'd rather be dry (bald-on record) or upfront (plain aggro).

What I'd do in this case depends mostly on

1. if I trust some person in power to handle this shit in a smart way. Either one in charge of the group or the school.
2. how insistent the NFT scammer is.
3. how much I care about other people in the group that might fall for the NFT scam.

For #2 and #3, on best hypothesis (no insistence + I don't care about others) I'd simply answer "not interested". However, get me motivated enough and I'll be rather colourful with language usage, to the best that the platform allows me. Such as:

As I already bloody said over and over and over and over, I do not want your NFT bullshit. "No" means "no" for anyone with basic reading comprehension, unlike you. Your NFTs have zero intrinsic value. You might be able to convince some goddamn morons to join your pyramid scheme, but I'm not doing it. Is this clear??? Stop insisting and fuck off.

Further links for anyone interested: [link associating NFT bullshit to pyramid schemes], [Wikipedia link explaining pyramid schemes] I heavily recommend you guys to read this before buying anything from this guy.

Followed by blocking the moron for the sake of my own sanity.

I only have three partitions, all ext4:

• /dev/sda1 mounted as / - if necessary I wipe it out, reinstall my junk and call it a day. The only non-default things there are a few /etc files but I got a manual backup of the ones that matter. It's in the SSD to access is really fast.
• /dev/sdb1 mounted as /home - that's my precious, for files that are personal and/or impossible to replace. Kept as small as possible so I can mirror it into a USB stick. It's in the HDD, right at the start so access is fast.
• /dev/sdb2 mounted as /storage - originally I created this partition to bulk store my anime series, music, etc. so I could broadcast them through SMB across my house. If I lose those files I'll probably be pissed, but they can be recovered with some sweat, blood, and torrents. Access speed is not that big of a concern for those files.

I'm actually considering to create a fourth partition. See, the /storage partition has 1.6 TB, so I created a /storage/binarios subdir in it so I can install a few programs (mostly games)... that's just /opt reinvented poorly, might as well promote it to its own partition.

Be careful to not confuse the metaphor with what it's supposed to represent. With that in mind:

• What do you consider an "idea"? Are you talking about things that practical, epistemic (true/false) or moral (good/bad) in nature?
• What do you consider a "helpful" or "beneficial" idea? And helpful/beneficial for whom?
• What's the target audience those ideas? Everyone, or 1+ specific groups?
• Who's "we" in your "we can"? In other words, who's willing to help you out?

From circling those questions you'll probably find unclear spots on your goal. And once you find those spots, and get rid of them, you'll be able to pragmatically list potential solutions, their pros and cons.

Note that trying to do too much will often yield practically no results. Even when dealing with abstract things, there's a limit on the amount of work that you can do, and you can't spread it too thin. Virality can help you out a bit with this though, as it allows you to relay work in a headless way.

It's more of a "what I remember about this" than a "TL;DW", as I didn't watch the vid. It seems to me that she's focusing on the maths behind the isolated H atom, that I simply glossed over. Still, glad to be of help!

1h video, so I won't watch it right now. (I do recommend people to do it though - from quick glances she's rather didactic.)

That said, the radius depends on what you're looking for, and odds are that her video explains this:

If you're dealing with an isolated hydrogen atom, and you want to be bloody 100% sure that you got it full (electron and nucleus), then the radius is infinite. Because that's how wave functions work, even if the nucleus is here there's a non-zero chance that the electron is in the Moon.

If "infinite" is too much you can't be picky. You can use a₀ instead (Bohr radius), that is the most probable distance between the electron and the nucleus. Then the radius is 53pm, it's the distance that she mentions in the video description.

There are other ways to do this if you're accepting that your atom is not isolated. You could use the covalent radius instead, measuring the distance between two hydrogen nuclei in a H₂ and dividing it by two. You'll get 25±5pm; smaller than the above because they share the electrons, so it's like the atoms overlap.

Then there's the Van der Waals radius; it's a bit of a silly simplification, where you pretend that the atoms are dense, tightly packed, and non-overlapping spheres at 0°K. Then from the resulting volume you get the radius of each atom, for hydrogen it's 109pm. (This "let's pretend" stuff might sound weird, and it is, but it's still useful to know the volume of the gas more precisely than the equation pV = nRT would allow you to.)

In another situation, it would be grim, but having that downwards tendency right after a hype peak (Jul/2023, or Reddigg v4 the APIcalypse) is expected - plenty users who'd come with the hype would go back, and plenty instance owners would realise that running an instance is way more work than they planned.

This post about text generation models failing to infer that, if A is B, then B is A.

Rest of my saved content is mostly my own comments, things that I feel proud of. e.g. analysing one of my favourite poems or an anime intro song.

What I did? Vodka. It's always vodka.

What I recommend? Find something to distract yourself. Time heals, although not completely; it's often like a physical cut, you might get some scar that itches from time to time but it won't be as painful as the fresh wound.

Karma/age requirements in subreddits are the result of mods using whatever resources they can to do what the admins were supposed to do (curb down trolling, spamming, and harassment). I don't like them either but I can relate to mods using this shit.

So hopefully they won't appear on Lemmy because they won't be necessary.

Mine is 14 and still playful. To the point of annoyance - I need to hide her toys when we go to bed, otherwise it's 3AM and she's "inviting" us to play.

Being slightly forceful might work, but being too forceful has the opposite effect. I've seen a lot of people avoiding Edge not because of its technical demerits, or due to lack of knowledge, but because MS forces it so much down your throat that something "feels" off.

The idea has some merit but it's harder to implement than it looks like. Model-based image generation is heavily biased towards typical values, so you'd need a lot of poison to do it. And that poison would need to be consistent - it doesn't work if you tell the model now that cats are dogs and then that ferrets are dogs, you need to pick one.

I'm rather entertained by the amount of fallacies and assumptions ITT though. I get that you guys are excited with model-based image gen; frankly, I'm the same when it comes to text gen. But those two things won't help, learn the difference between "X is true" and "I want X to be true".

I like smart trolls because they can be sometimes enjoyable, and even so rarely relieving - as they exploit some tension in the community, and force it onto the open.

Dumb trolls though? They're just there, like Navi in Zelda, saying "HEY, LISSEN!" to beg for your attention nonstop.

A new sock puppet account to post the exact same thing as @gsa posted and then deleted?

Relevant detail, confirming the association - @gsa's avatar is Marsey, rdrama's mascot. Now check OP's username, @GazaMarseyBomber.

Yeah, not at all suspect or trying to avoid the fallout on your normal account…

Agreed. Specially because, if there's something worse than a troll, it's a fucking dumb and obvious troll.
