It's very possible that riseup has been compromised in the past. Whatever you do, use GPG encryption for emails if you don't want anyone else reading them. But in any case I don't know if I would use email for private communication.

Has anyone heard about this new dating app called Duolicious? It's supposedly designed to help you meet like-minded individuals based on your personality. Sounds like a neat concept, but I can't help feeling a bit skeptical about it.

First off, how accurate can these personality assessments really be? I mean, are we reducing the complexity of human relationships to a mere algorithm? And what about privacy concerns? With all the data breaches happening these days, I'm wary of handing over intimate details of my personality to some tech company.

Plus, there's the whole capitalist angle. Is this just another way to monetize loneliness and exploit our desire for connection? It feels like these apps are more about making profits than genuinely helping people find meaningful relationships.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this. Do you think Duolicious is a step forward in online dating, or just another tech gimmick preying on our emotions?

I watched this video recently, and have been fascinated by the concept of "the peripheral web" (in contrast to "core web") and want to find more stuff out there. So how about a thread where we share neat stuff we find on the peripheral web?

As an experiment, I am going to (at least try to) exclusively coom to art made by artists who have posted those works to their personal website.

If even core web sites can fall off due to lack of / difficulty to access NSFW content–Tumblr, for example–then that could be that's a factor in why people gravitate to the core, and one that seems immediately addressable if you can get people to make the habit of making pages linking to them.

What is the endgame of the internet archive? An "archive" which refuses to save specific sites? I just tried to check out some articles on the wayback machine for the site compactmag.com and I reveived picrel. I can understand, that an internet archive will refuse to host CP, but why are they blocking pure text sites???

You can request to have your aocial media or websites excluded and they always comply, that's likely what happened here. The reason Compact can't be archived is because they've likely asked the IA to block their site, because "muh copyright".
As usual IP laws are cancer.

It's fair use, the website's owners just have a retarded paranoia because of the nature of capitalist competition. Also, they expect IA to not go to court so this is essentially equivalent to beating someone who's already down.

After some researching, the status of fair use in the case of Internet Archive is unfortunately unclear. The US laws are so retarded it's not even funny.

 No.23802

>>23796
Archiving a website might be fair use. Making that archive available to the public might not be. In the US, fair use is determined by judges who usually act in the interests of capital.

hi guys long time lurker but haven't posted until now.
what are your stances on local language models (LLMs)?
I know that closed models like GPT-4 are fucking stupid and late stage capitalism.
But what about everyone having infinite knowledge at their fingertips? is this not a noble goal?

A language model could "write" a Wizardry clone for the NES but you would have to have previously fed it with a lot of Wizardry clones or very similar programs, so the usefulness of LMs still needs to be questioned as the only thing they can do is to copy and merge, people get excited when they see one solve a problem but ignore the fact that the way the answer was given was by looking at the results of people that have already solved the problem.

 No.23766

LLM fail badly unless you handhold them the more novel your problem is. A big issue is that information in the context doesn't seem as strong as that in the training set when it should be moreso. I tried to get chatGPT to work with nonstandard VGA modes and it couldn't handle it, would always fall back to 640x480@60hz timings. The code was buggy as hell too, but I could mostly fix it with english prompting. I don't think any developer should be worried about LLMs taking tasks beyond those you could give to an average junior anytime soon. It can do a CRUD app, but deep domain knowledge is safe. Rule of thumb: if you could do it copy and pasting from stack overflow, chatGPT can do it.

Make your own conclusions from your own analysis, anon, Marxism is (at least supposed to be) scientific, not just another religion. Otherwise it's no better than being an ancap or a radlib or whatever other flavor-of-the-month ideology.

How does this even happen? It's not like the retard is implementing this by himself. I'd expect at least someone would tell him that not everyone is an anglo.

The only explanation is employees don't give a fuck anymore and do whatever stupid shit he comes up with. Or someone is actively sabotaging the website, which is even better.

He doesn't listen to reason and pushes whatever he wants, especially if he gets any pushback. Employees at Tesla and SpaceX have come out saying that in order to get anything done they basically need a team of people to babysit him and be yes men when he shows up just so he won't actually meddle in things (more than they can avoid) and cause tons of problems for everyone. Maybe he was just lucky to have people like that at the previous copmanies where he had that kind of pull. He apparently doesn't have that at twitter.
