bamboo,

Great news, now deny port access to any Israeli affiliated ships!

bamboo,

If there aren’t enough republicans to say no, then the democrats will just do it themselves.

bamboo,

I’m sure all 114 would vote in favor of it. I would expect most democrats would vote in favor of it. But the democrats have a pattern where if there needs to be N people to pass something, they’ll only be able to gather N-1 people to support it. That -1 will get attacked in the press and they’ll make a big fuss out of it, but importantly they’ll cause the bill to fail so that the democrats can continue to campaign on that point. See: healthcare, minimum wage

bamboo,

The point is it’s always one persons fault and that certainly everyone else was a good guy. The blame is planted on a single individual and not the party that failed as a whole

bamboo,

Being democratic and inclusive is pointless if it prevents progress. People want good, affordable healthcare more than they care about if it was achieved with Republicans at the table too. The Democratic process is a means to an end, it’s not sacred and should be disposed of when it can’t work.

bamboo,

As many as they can possibly require so that this doesn’t finish before Trump is inaugurated next year. Then he can kill it and the democrats can recycle the campaign material in 2028.

bamboo,

One difference between now and 100 years ago is that propaganda is way more effective. It can be pushed in real time on social media, and can be targeted towards specific demographics. That’s one of the reasons the US government is trying to ban TikTok, as it doesn’t follow the US’ propaganda diet, exposing people to unapproved opinions.

bamboo,

To be fair if I ran a restaurant, I’d probably do this

bamboo,

If that school receives any federal funding this seems like a cut and dried Title IX case.

bamboo,

I can understand why a project might want to do this until the law is fully implemented and testing in court, but I can tell most of the people in this thread haven’t actually figured out how to effectively use LLMs productively. They’re not about to replace software engineers, but as a software engineer, tools like GitHub copilot and ChatGPT are excellent at speeding up a workflow. ChatGPT for example is an excellent search engine that can give you a quick understanding of a topic. It’ll generate small amounts of code more quickly than I could write it by hand. Of course I’m still going to review that code to ensure it is to the same quality that hand written code would be, but overall this is still a much faster problem.

The luddites who hate on LLMs would have complained about the first compilers too, because they could write marginally faster assembly by hand.

bamboo,

I think the context here is that New Caledonia wants to be an independent country, and has had several referendums to try and do so electorally. France is doing everything in their power to block New Caledonian independence, using both politics and violence against natives. By granting voting rights to French immigrants, it will increase France’s apparent political support on the islands and make it harder for them to achieve independence, ensuring France can continue to plunder the islands.

bamboo,

I’m of the opinion generally that settler colonialism should be avoided, since every previous settler colonial project has been a complete disaster, and especially for the natives (see: the Americas, Palestine, South Africa, Algeria, Australia and New Zealand). The population of Europeans in New Caledonia was last recorded declining both in percentage and absolute values, while natives have been growing. France could discourage or ban new settlers, grant current settlers full rights, and it’s possible in a few decades the European population may naturally decline to where it’s not significant. Then again who am I to set such a long timetable.

bamboo,

I don’t think this is as much of a problem, proprietary hardware is a thing on x86 too. The two big problems are a lack of boot standardization, and vendors not upstreaming their device drivers. A lack of standardization means it is difficult or impossible to use a single image to boot across different devices, and the lack of upstream drivers means even if you solved the boot process, you won’t be able to interface with peripherals without using a very custom kernel.

bamboo,

That’s true for all commercial development. No company wants to invest more than they have to. Upstreaming does save time in the long run, but not in the short term.

bamboo,

Because they’re both extremely misogynistic and also trying to argue against human anatomy.

bamboo,

It’s a derogatory term used to dehumanize people. I call a prostitute a sex worker out of respect, but it’s entirely irrelevant to this conversation unless you’re just gonna go off on a completely different level of misogyny.

bamboo,

Great news!

bamboo,

This is the most fear mongering nonsense I’ve read on Lemmy to date

bamboo,

The UN provides humanitarian aid to the Palestinians they are intent on starving to death. Israel wants them out.

Hello GPT-4o (openai.com)

GPT-4o (“o” for “omni”) is a step towards much more natural human-computer interaction—it accepts as input any combination of text, audio, and image and generates any combination of text, audio, and image outputs. It can respond to audio inputs in as little as 232 milliseconds, with an average of 320 milliseconds,...

Llama 2 70B can run on a specc-ed out current gen MacBook Pro. Not cheap hardware in any sense, but it isn’t a large data center cluster.

1000+ Firefox for Android extensions now available – Mozilla Add-ons Community Blog (blog.mozilla.org)

The new open ecosystem of extensions on Firefox for Android launched in December with just over 400 extensions. Less than five months later we’ve surpassed 1,000 Firefox for Android extensions. That’s an impressive achievement by this developer community! It’s exciting to see so many developers embrace the opportunity to...

bamboo,

To their credit, Safari’s extension support on iOS is reasonably good. Not like Firefox good, but compared to chrome it’s excellent!

bamboo,

Also advertising a low rent and then tacking on sometimes hundreds of dollars in “admin fees” or similar. The advertised price should be, to the penny, the size of the monthly check.

bamboo,

You misunderstand. This is protectionism plain and simple. US car companies are horribly inefficient. Better yet, the US car cartel eliminated most of their budget models to push trucks and SUVs that are more expensive. It doesn’t take much to undercut them, so the US government is banning the competition.

bamboo,

That’s what “membership” means in the quote

bamboo,

In this case I was referring to bandwidth and latency, which on-package memory helps with. It does make a difference in memory-intensive applications, but the majority of people would never notice a difference. Also Apple will absolutely give you a ton of memory, you just have to pay for it. They offer 128GB on the MacBook Pro, and it’s unified so the GPU has full access to it, which makes it surprisingly good for running LLMs locally, for example.
