Some data formats are easy for humans to read but difficult for computers to efficiently parse. Others, like packed binary data, are dead simple for computers to parse but borderline impossible for a human to read.
XML bucks this trend and bravely proves that data formats do not have to be one or the other by somehow managing to be bad at both.
LLMs are predictive associative token algorithms
Ah, so they produce parts of words instead of whole words at a time. Totally different.
with a degree of randomness and self reflection.
And they’re hooked up to random number generators so if you give it the same input twice you’ll get different output. Totally makes it smarter.
A key aspect is that anything can be a token
…much like predictive text. Rarely will you find one that doesn’t suggest punctuation on occasion.
they can self feed their own output
…much like predictive text.
as well as output control input for other algorithms.
Oh, so you can tell it to suggest certain tokens more or less often. How fancy.
It remains to be seen whether the core of human intelligence is much more than that.
I mean, I’d say the ability to visualize things and reason about scenarios it hasn’t experienced before are a good start.
I tried to visit the site again when I saw your comment and discovered the DNS record had disappeared between when I wrote that comment and now. Fascinating. It must have been taken down and the change took a while to propagate. Judging by the fact that I could see anything at all before my ISP’s nameserver got the memo, the 404 page that was there seems to still be up even though the DNS record that got you to it is gone – wish I had thought to nslookup it when I still could. If I had to take a guess, though, it probably resolved to the same IP address as the twitter.okta.com domain.
Odd. I get a full fledged HTML 404 page.

I would suggest ddns.net if they hadn’t irrevocably eaten two of my domains already (when the client software doesn’t check in, the domain disappears from your account, but they don’t get marked as available so no other account can filch them)
have a >1 ratio to download anything which is impossible by definition
They give you a bit of leniency after you first sign up. All that share ratio means is that you leave your computer seeding for a while after your download finishes, and when your torrent client has uploaded the file you got from them to e.g. 5 other people you can stop seeding it. They’re asking you to give back, is all. If you download a 3GB file from other people in the swarm and then immediately close the torrent before anybody can download it from you, after enough repeat times of you doing that, they’ll stop letting you download new files.
Trackers cannot read, and are not interested in, the number at the bottom of your torrent client, or your history with other trackers. They just care that you seed their torrents after you’ve finished downloading them so other people can download them too.
I’ve never heard of Wormhole before now but by the looks of things:
for a true browser based p2p solution that uses WebRTC I’d suggest www.sharedrop.io
croc is a good solution for this if true P2P stuff fails
love the mission and the message, but if i know anything about how things like this go, what it is, is about to die
EDIT: yeah, their about page says they “filter out generative AI images” without even mentioning how. never mind that with the rate the AI field is advancing, no algorithm for doing that works for more than a couple of months. no word at all on how or even if the photos users upload are going to be protected from scraping.
i hate to be a cynic, i do, and i can’t wait for this to age poorly but $20 says the website won’t even last a year
Well first off, if you’re building a NAS, build it out of drives that are rated for NAS use. Seagate’s IronWolf line is a bit pricier than their BarraCuda but has better transfer speeds and (more importantly) better resiliency to vibration, which is important if you’re putting a half dozen drives in the same enclosure and don’t want them to fail prematurely.
There was that one comic that Randall did (Lorenz) where you could choose one of several paths and write your own text in the last panel. In order to implement that Randall had to create a font of his own handwriting. I wouldn’t be surprised if OP just ripped the .woff file or similar.
what kind of config file is short enough to fit on a single screen with line breaks?
