I know it’s difficult but just call a friend who is on facebook in the group for updates.

Enough people start doing that and the group will realize there’s a demand for off Facebook communication.

Even mastadon would be sufficient. But a signal group or even sms is enough.

I think it’s a big overexageration that leaving meta is social suicide. Call your friends.

One thing we do need to replace though is meetup. I thrive there but organizing on meetup is terrible and expensive.

News like this gets out and it should just be automatic unionization. Idk why people are such pushovers.

Oh I didn’t get that “no” element. Clever.

Old jokes can be hard to follow. I was expecting more idiom.

Can someone explain the red hot stove joke? Is it just implying he would steal it if it wasn’t hot? Like being hot is the necessary requirement for him not stealing it?

My one other media type is “the cloud”.

I use hard drives, I can’t imagine trying to put something on a disk or something.

One thing I do recommend, I keep one unencrypted hard drive copy in the safest most hidden part of my house. This is in case encryption software disappears, or I just forget my encryption keys or something.

Other than that, one encrypted copy of files in a thumb drive in my wallet (selected files, not everything). One in my car. One in my firesafe. Then daily cloud backup.

Necessity can be disproven if there is any possible way to overcome legally. A single shitty shelter with minimal food and a huge set of behavior requirements is plenty to say “you could have gone to the shelter and survived”.

Good point.

This is NOT a condemnation of USAID, more of a contradiction: isn’t it crazy our government is giving free healthcare to foreign refugees in foreign countries and not its own citizens?

Ideally, we should do both.

I assume he’s asking “why can’t steam be considered a monopolistic platform”

How are they gonna block tor? Does tor even use dns? And people just make a new random name every month so they don’t get cut.

Meta? The one that released Llama 3.3? The one that actually publishes its work? What are you talking about?

Why is it so hard to believe that deepseek is just yet another amazing paper in a long line of research done by everyone. Just because it’s Chinese? Everyone will adapt to this amazing innovation and then stagnate and throw compute at it until the next one. That’s how research works.

Not to mention China has billions of more people to establish a research community…

I think “just writing better code” is a lot harder than you think. You actually have to do research first you know? Our universities and companies do research too. But I guarantee using R1 techniques on more compute would follow the scaling law too. It’s not either or.

Well the uncensored fine tuning dataset is oss

Nah, o1 has been out how long? They are already on o3 in the office.

It’s completely normal a year later for someone to copy their work and publish it.

It probably cost them less because they probably just distilled o1 XD. Or might have gotten insider knowledge (but honestly how hard could CoT fine tuning possibly be?)

Yes but also it’s open source soooo
