Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.zip•Office problems on Windows 10? Microsoft’s response will soon be “upgrade to 11.”English6·3 days agoI think a light version runs in a web browser but the full version is a program.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto World News@quokk.au•Could Elon Musk really move his tech empire to China?14·3 days agoThere is absolutely no chance Elon moves to China. First of all, Tesla is already in China but is failing because BYD are now better and cheaper.
Then there the fact that the Chinese government doesn’t play around with troublemakers and fraudsters like Musk. They jail their billionaires that step out of line or were found out to be involved with fraud. Elon’s 10 years of taking money and promising self driving next year would have landed him in a re-education camp.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•If cyclists are meant to "share the road" then why aren't they held to the same safety standards as cars?English8·5 days agoI misunderstood. I thought the community title meant you are VERY attracted to cars.
I think he’s saying we need a fuckstairs forum.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The sole purpose of language models is to lower the market value of human skills.11·6 days agoI don’t understand the wild eyed hate for a spell checker on steroids. LLMs predict the next word like the phone keyboard you use every day.
Hate the hype, not the tool.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The sole purpose of language models is to lower the market value of human skills.147·6 days agoThe sole purpose of all tools ever created is to lower the value of human skills.
LLM’s are hyped but have some value as a tool.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Anyone else able to "sense" whether a solution on a forum will work before fully reading it through? Especially the long-winded ones.8·8 days agoI think the same theory works for everything- including generic replies to comments on Lemmy.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•An observation I've made about the usual apologists.1·11 days agoYou were defending the hypocritical point of view.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•An observation I've made about the usual apologists.1·12 days agoI specifically called out hypocrisy! Over and over, that’s all I did in my response to you.
Actually read what I wrote.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•An observation I've made about the usual apologists.1·12 days agoCalling out hypocrisy isn’t a claim that one of the two bad things isn’t also bad.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you think it would be more cool if society kept using tech like telephones (the non-"smart" type), pagers, telegraphs, and radios, instead of the internet?3·12 days ago. Sure, the technology would be there and people would run amateur ip networks, or secretly piggyback of official uses, but it would be more like the dark net / tor than what actually happened.
The early Internet was exactly like Tor and darknet. Before DNS servers were ubiquitous, I’d go to an ftp site every morning that kept hosts lists and downloaded a hosts file to give me names matched to ip addresses. If darknet was the norm, a darknet DNS would be created and it would be the “Internet” but on different protocols.
The only scenario I can imagine is something like North Korea where people are so poor that they don’t have access to computers/phones which allows the government to restrict Internet to official cafes.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•An observation I've made about the usual apologists.1·12 days ago“Great argument.” was sarcasm which implies you didn’t believe your earlier statement.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•An observation I've made about the usual apologists.2·12 days agoIf you do the math, which I’ve posted here, you can see it’s true. This is a situation where hundreds of SUV drivers are sitting in traffic, see a large bus bellow out a large puff of diesel smoke, and think, “Wow buses are bad for the environment.”
People are bad at math. They don’t see their individual contributions add up to really bad things.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•An observation I've made about the usual apologists.1·12 days agoThis is what I replied to:
“Something that sucks is slightly less bad for the environment than something that also sucks. Wow very good argument”
Is there something else you are referring to that I missed?
You resort to insults because you have no defense for your argument.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you think it would be more cool if society kept using tech like telephones (the non-"smart" type), pagers, telegraphs, and radios, instead of the internet?41·13 days agoWhile it could be interesting, I don’t think it’s realistic. Before everyone had Internet, there was Fidonet. Trolls were on BBS FidoNet.
Before FidoNet there were Ham radio operators relaying across the world. There were Trolls on Ham when Ham was used by many during the 1970’s CB craze.
There is something inherently cool about communicating with people across the globe. So a few technical people make it happy and the masses use it.
So any communication medium evolves into an Internet even if the underlying technology is different.
The best you could realistically do is assume something causes an bandwidth limit of say 9600 bps. There would still be an Internet with all the problems but it would be text based.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•An observation I've made about the usual apologists.12·13 days agoStop lying. Using the same car analogy isn’t a copy and paste.
Doing something that sucks more while complaining about those that do things that sucks less is hypocrisy.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•An observation I've made about the usual apologists.21·13 days agoIf you scroll further down, I did the math assuming that it wasn’t even a gaming company and got 18 GWh.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•An observation I've made about the usual apologists.13·13 days agoInsults aren’t a rebuttal. You didn’t explain your hypocrisy.
I find it funny that Seth had to pitch them, “You still want money?” Because the current executives don’t have any idea how to make money.
