Its an interesting perspective, except… that’s not how AI works (even if it’s advertised that way). Even the latest approach for ChatGPT is not perfect memory. It’s a glorified search functionality. When you type a prompt the system can choose to search your older chats for related information and pull it into context… what makes that information related is the big question here - it uses an embedding model to index and compare your chats. You can imagine it as a fuzzy paragraph search - not exact paragraphs, but paragraphs that roughly talk about the same topic…

it’s not a guarantee that if you mention not liking sushi in one chat - talking about restaurant of choice will pull in the sushi chat. And even if it does pull that in, the model may choose to ignore that. And even if it doesn’t ignore that - You can choose to ignore that. Of course the article talks about healing so I imagine instead of sushi we’re talking about some trauma…. Ok so you can choose not to reveal details of your trauma to AI(that’s an overall good idea right now anyway). Or you can choose to delete the chat - it won’t index deleted chats.

At the same time - there are just about as many benefits of the model remembering something you didn’t. You can imagine a scenario where you mentioned your friend being mean to you and later they are manipulating you again. Maybe having the model remind you of the last bad encounter is good here? Just remember - AI is a machine and you control both its inputs and what you’re to do with its outputs.

Apparently Nintendo switch 2 is using the standard already, so it might go over better than Sony.

I think I’m starting to get back into beehaw, so 👋 it’s been a crazy several years…I’ve been diagnosed with clinical depression and now I’m better so that’s good overall

It’s an interesting and hard problem. Because most billionaires don’t own billions in cash - they own companies that are worth billions. These companies also don’t have billions of assets - they are valued at billions by investors.

The problem is that musks and bezoses of the world didn’t start with billions - they started with millions and lucked out. So to prevent this from happening you need some system that can fairly catch a moment where a business becomes too big and do something about it.

You can’t really cut the majority owner out, because well they own the company - you can’t just take away what they own. But you can’t really pay them some ceiling cost either - you’ll just end up making someone else a billionaire.

I don’t know about more emotional on average, but I can totally see how emotional repression can lead to bigger emotional outbursts.

Alternatives or not, I think it’d be very beneficial to document concept of operation that you want. That way you can either take pieces of these conops and tell lemmy devs what you want, or if you have your own project this will be its conops and you can guide developers towards features you need.

Centralization is likely the unintended end result of the internet. Consider a mesh network where all the links have even throughput. Now suddenly one node has some content that goes viral. Everyone wants to access that data. Suddenly that node needs to support a link that’s much wider because everyone’s requests accumulate there.

Someone goes and upgrades that link. Well now they can serve many more other nodes so they start advertising to put others’ viral information on the node with larger link.

Certainly - and there still are those channels that we all love for their dedication. But there are a lot more mediocre channels too

You bring a great point I hadn’t considered before. Only people with passion for something will do it for free while many more people with so that for cash. Though it’s interesting to see that cash doesn’t make passionate people’s content better it just makes more mediocre content.

Gentoo. It makes me feel like I’m in full control of my system.

My friend, let me tell you a story during my studies when I had to help someone find a bug in their 1383-line long main() in C… on the other hand I think Ill spare you from the gruesome details, but it took me 30 hours.

The Test part of TDD isn’t meant to encompass your whole need before developing the application. It’s function-by function based. It also forces you to not have giant functions. Let’s say you’re making a compiler. First you need to parse text. Idk what language structure we are doing yet but first we need to tokenize our steam. You write a test that inputs hello world into your tokenizer then expects two tokens back. You start implementing your tokenizer. Repeat for parser. Then you realize you need to tokenize numbers too. So you go back and make a token test for numbers.

So you don’t need to make all the tests ahead of time. You just expand at the smallest test possible.

On regular desktop environments I really like Guake - it’s a drop down terminal emulator similar to how old games used to do it. It’s nice for quick use here and there. Though these days I just run tilling wm with xfce-terminal. It gets the job done and still looks good.

What are you talking about? Modern phones are all just slightly different to be incompatible with what you’re talking about.

My first thought is Cingular Wireless

I miss the times when different phones had character. Even phones of the same company looked completely different:

Now it’s just the same rectangle stretched different ways and maybe different color sides.

I like the concept of IR blaster but the one I had was in Samsung Galaxy s6 (or 5 don’t remember) and it came paired with a HORRIBLE app that tried to do its darnest to datamine your viewing habits and it’d do push notifications 5 times per day with just crappy ads. I really hate all the ad spam on Samsung phones back then. Idk if that’s still the case

I’m unable to look at the exact config screen but I remember you could configure the stick to map to absolute mouse position in deck’s configuration.

Oh I think it’s
