yeah. i'm just hoping the Democrats don't whiff the ball on their messaging again

opt-in analytics! servers running Synapse can choose to send a bit of analytics information like number of users, but it's opt-in so the number is potentially even higher

i'm not informed much either, but here's what i gather; it's centralized around the proprietary Snap Store and you can't run your own Snap repositories, Snap apps take ages to start up, and each Snap app is mounted as a separate partition (???). there's a whole bunch of technical issues that go over my head too, and Snaps have seen so little adoption that Canonical basically had to twist the arms of flavor maintainers to drop Flatpak support and support Snap out of the box. it's evidently so bad even Ubuntu's official flavors wouldn't support it until Canonical forced them to

yes. it only surfaces citations that may back up the content better, an editor still has to read the source and approve the change

Wikipedian here - AI on Wikipedia is actually nothing new. we've had a machine learning model identify malicious edits since 2017, and Cluebot (an ML-powered anti-vandalism bot) has been around for even longer than that.

even so, this is pretty exciting. from what i gather, this is a transformer model turned on its side; instead of taking textual data and transforming it, it checks to see if two pieces of textual data could reasonably be transformations of each other. used responsibly, this could really help knock out those [dubious] and [failed verification] tags en masse

lmao nice catch, i'll edit the date

to be honest i'm not entirely sure what the draw is either. many reaction videos are based around a theme, like "school tiktoks i watch instead of doing homework", so maybe it's an easy way to find more-or-less quality content about a particular subject without having to actually look for it. or maybe people just watch for the funny faces, given that SSSniperWolf's audience tends to be very young.

i do like "[expert] reacts to..." videos where an expert does a thorough analysis of some media featuring their field of expertise, like "Traçeur reacts to Mirror's Edge" or "Martial artist reacts to Avatar: The Last Airbender" or "Chemist reacts to Breaking Bad", but that is an entirely different thing than freebooting because it's thoughtful commentary that's transformative and adds to the video

it's in the name: generative pre-trained transformer. the one thing ChatGPT and GPT-3/3.5/4 are truly good at is transforming data. it can restructure paragraphs to have a different flow, take class notes and make flashcards out of them (that's how i use ChatGPT), or even take non-textual data and potentially present it in textual format if trained right

even the monitors are "smart" now. have you seen Samsung's latest computer monitors?

not explicitly. the Constitution's Privileges and Immunities clause is written assuming freedom of interstate travel, but the Framers thought the right to travel was so fundamental and obvious it did not need explicit enumeration. the right to travel was enumerated in article 4 of the Articles of Confederation however and the Supreme Court has upheld it several times on that basis

take a look at this post for a workaround

that's true. it's not super in-depth, but it's a pretty good introduction in my opinion

‘The Onion’ Stands With Israel Because It Seems Like You Get In Less Trouble For That - The Onion posts absolutely fire satire (safire?) once again

so that's what they put in the ChatGPT server cooling systems

oh hey, it's the evil bit all over again

i'm not denying that Hamas is a terrorist group. i think they're evil too. what i'm saying is that Netanyahu funded them and propelled them to power, putting his own people at risk to further his political goals

ah, but Netanyahu created his own enemy. he funded Hamas to prevent the creation of a Palestinian state, promoting it from a small extremist faction to the dominant force in Palestinian politics

it's all because of US propaganda. the US media has tricked their readers into thinking that being anti-Israel is being antisemitic, and since 9/11 Americans tend to view Muslims as subhuman. and of course it doesn't help that the US send tons of military aid to Israel every year

what?

i have to admit i wrote it in like ten minutes because i was Inspired and didn't think too much about the symbolism, but i think it gets the message across and i'm really glad you like it! the message was something i've been trying to put into words for a while but found it really difficult to do before i made a poem out of it. it's funny how some ideas are naturally suited to expression through poetry
