They do not know wright from wrong, they only know probability of the next word.

LLMs are a brute forcing of the immigration of intelligence. They do not think, they are not intelligent.

But I mean people today believe that 5G vaccines made the frogs gay.

X-crements

And they all suck ass

A passkey is a public/private key pair used instead of a password. You store the private key, and the website stores the public key. Data encrypted with the public key can only be decrypted by the private key, and vice-versa.

This means you can share the public key freely with the website, and even if they get hacked and the public keys are stolen, they’re useless.

When you log in, they send you a challenge encrypted with the public key, and since you hold the private key, you can decrypt it, create a response to it, re-encrypt it with the private key, and send the response to the website; which then decrypts it with the public key to verify it.

The initial spec was that each device would have its own passkey and store it in a TPM (that thing Microsoft requires your computer to have for Windows 11), which is a secure memory storage location that only the kernel can access.

However BitWarden is also able to store them and make them portable. (I think the standard was loosened to allow for this? But don’t quote me on that.) So, now you can have one passkey for the site and it works anywhere you can use BitWarden’a browser extension.

TLDR: more secure than a password, nothing to forget, stops passwords being stolen.

Community names are unique if you account for the instance name.

This is a bit confusing as usernames follow a similar, email-address-like format.

I would enjoy there being just one community for a given topic that spans all instances, and moderators can either take actions that are instance specific or “global” (happen everywhere) but again that can get complicated fast. Who gets that global power? What if there are disagreements? Can an instance revoke a global action for just their instance? How much extra work does that create? How do instances handle backend storage for stuff like that (do you want CP deleted globally? I’d imagine so because it’s illegal to store it. Who decides to block an instance out of a community for posting offensive/illegal content; and how do you prevent all that from being abused for non-offensive content that instance mods find disagreeable?)

I’m not in a rush to endorse client apps adding large, experience changing features. That will radically alter the way different users interact with the service, they might need two apps to get all the features they want, etc

Sounds like a good way to make things even MORE confusing for new users.

I did always think that a shared (somehow) login would be great; but how do you federate that? Do you? What if the original server goes down? How does moderation work?

It gets really complicated really fast.

That’s a pretty wild claim. It almost sounds like you don’t know what a passkey is. Explain.

Passkeys are much better. Unlike what FAANG companies want you to believe, they do not have to be tied to a device. Use a password manager that supports them (BitWarden) and pretty much never get hacked again because of a password. Website doesn’t need to store anything that an attacker can use. No downside.

We have a lot more to atone for than the orange Nazi but thanks for the vote of faith

LibreOffice: “I’m right here”

Literally a thing that uses a file path. Did you think shortcuts pointed at some kind of hidden identifier? Nope! Change the folder name, you change the path, and you break the link.

Same thing happens with URLs

The most amazing feat AI has performed so far is convincing laymen that they’re actually intelligent

Your statistical model is much more optimized and complex, and reacts to your environment and body chemistry and has been tuned over billions of years of “training” via evolution.

Large language models are primitive, rigid, simplistic, and ultimately expensive.

Plus LLMs, image/music synths, are all trained on stolen data and meant to replace humans; so extra fuck those.

AI, specifically Laege language Models, do not “lie” or tell “the truth”. They are statistical models and work out, based on the prompt you feed them, what a reasonable sounding response would be.

This is why they’re uncreative and they “hallucinate”. It’s not thinking about your question and answering it, it’s calculating what words will placate you, using a calculation that runs on a computer the size of AWS.

This is what happens when you construct a society around screwing everyone else over while preaching cooperation. People stop trusting everything

Found the t3.gg enjoyer

Wasn’t there some stuff about the ladybird devs not too long ago?

I just hope that project doesn’t end up being the Voat or Parler of browsers.

They could extradite him if he has warrants and they’re willing; but that’s about the only time.

The difference is that little Rhonda thinks he’s doing good. Trump is malicious.
