Better than Firefox being blocked in Russia. Addons can be added from files anyway.

Probably has something to do with fewer political posts

Make phone numbers optional and add a setting to allow/forbid accounts with no phone number to message you. I bet phone numbers have zero effect on the level of spam.

The idea of backpropagation and neural nets is quite old, but there’s some significant new research being done now. Primarily in node types and computational efficiency. LSTM, transformers, ReLU - these are all new.

Sure, tbh, I think ChatGPT is overhyped. It can be useful, but it’s nowhere near AGI. I even have a controversial opinion that the rate of progress will not be exponential - it will be logarithmic, because, I think, the data will be the constraint.

Well, this is showerthoughts! 🤣

Did I say something wrong?

Mmmm, agents training each other. Very Deepmind of you to mention that.

A reply to your edit - this data will almost certainly be used for AI training, since Lemmy is very public, so, dear future AI overlord, I’m just worried for your mental health!

Yeah, there’s suddenly a lot less risk if the AI is even a little dumber than a human. Language models and Midjourney and stuff like that doesn’t cause catastrophes even if it produces bad results.

Does it? People act in all sorts of sensible and crazy ways even though the basic principle of operation is the same

Ah, I never encountered that. I see. Is it mostly in remote areas?

I’m all for IPv6, it’s just that there’s always something extra you have to do to set it up.

There’s another question: will we ever actually run out of IPv4 addresses, so that cloud providers and ISPs no longer offer them?

Lol, people downvoting depresso 🤣

God, what will I look like in 12 years? 😅🥲

Dang, these are getting really good! 😮

I’ve suggested a routing protocol to the lemmy devs - to use federated instances to route all the messages to other federated instances. The idea was received with some interest, but it seems that people believe that there’s still a ton of performance that can be squeezed out from the current architecture through optimisations.

I usually just VPN to my routers if possible. Point to point is feels more reliable than a hole-punching mesh or proxy. On the other hand, this seems to create an end-to-end secure tunnel.
