That argument is a very short (not very detailed) way of surmising the current issue with our world as a whole.

Don’t like how cars have taken over the world, are the reason cities are hard to live in for low income families, and cause massive amount of climate damage? You can thank the 1% for that.

Frustrated with how you don’t really own anything, your digital “property” can be taken away from you at a moments notice, and that everything you enjoy gets stuffed with schemes to make more money off of vulnerable people? You can thank the 1% for that.

Angered that health care costs truly absurd amounts, that medicine is sold to the consumer with a 10,000% mark up, or that a single accident that was not their fault could land someone in debt for life? You can thank the 1% for that.

A disturbing amount of things that are not good for our planet, keep the poor people poor, and generate inferior products/experiences is directly because of the insane power that the rich hold over our worlds systems.

“It helps someone I don’t like because they are richer than me” is actually a wonderful definition of harm.

Reddit used to be an amazing place of community and content that you couldn’t find anywhere on the internet. Then in the pursuit of money and the power that the 1% have Reddit (the company) started implementing practices that actively made the experience worse for the user, violated a person’s ownership of their content, and removed choice just like authoritative/dictatorship governments do.

It feels to most people that there is nearly nothing that can be done about it. So when a person has the opportunity to directly go against the rich caste in our world they will take that opportunity immediately.

I recommend taking a hard look at the things that concern you with our world, or cause you pain/annoyance/discomfort and try and learn WHY the issue is the way it is. The majority of the time is because some rich person/group of people (I’m looking at you lobby groups) has an obscene amount of power compared to all of the people affected.

Lastly there is a reason that “Tax the rich/Eat the rich” is the rally cry of generations.

It’s because the rich cause us harm.

wait… How the hell did I miss that Bowie was on here??? Awesome!

Well that’s quite the typo on my part. Not gonna change it though.

considering that sapphire and ruby are different versions of transparent aluminum (really) I would probably cost a ton but be entirely safe to use.

It’s also rather dense and stays quite cool to the touch. It would probably be amazing.

The update works fine for me. No real complaints at all.

Awesome, thanks for the clarification on that. Some very good tips to put into action.

Sweet thanks for laying out a simple progression path.

How good have you found ChatGPT to be? My understanding is that sometimes it’s great but other times it’s way off base. Then you have to figure out what went wrong and you know how the saying goes “You don’t know what you don’t know.”

Wow, I had no idea that React Native basically ran most major programs in existence. Looks like it might be time to sit down and take some online courses/YouTube tutorials for this thing if I really want to get serious with this project.

Thanks!

I’m an extrovert with a spinal injury. I’ve only left the house for doctors visits a half dozen or so times in the last 7 months.

It sucks.

Finally someone speaks the truth. Top 6 and top 12 is where it’s at right now.

And the second that it is economically viable the companies will be dumping their bricklayers/carpenters down the drain and replacing them with computer controlled construction methods.

It’s slightly over 2 years old, definitely not a generated image.

It’s really bad compression. It’s a screenshot of a screenshot of a screenshot from 2 years ago. The original as far as I can tell is from Facebook.

Reverse image searching this for… reasons, shows an original post date of a Facebook screenshot 2 years ago. Image generators were absolutely in their infancy and you would be lucky if you got a single finger with the correct amount on knuckles let alone the amount of hands here with the correct amount of fingers.

Preservation only but not likely any better than a linguistic historian.

But it gets tricky because LLMs only function on HUGE sets of data. LLMs are nothing more than complicated probability engines. Give it the question “What color is the sky?” and the math extracted from the massive databases that it has says the highest probability answer is “Blue”. It doesn’t actually KNOW the answer it just knows the probabilities of different words.

Without large amounts of data on the dying language current gen LLM’s won’t be accurate or able to generate reliable answers. Shoot… LLMs can barely generate reliable answers with the massive datasets they currently have.

I strongly recommend anyone even remotely interested in LLMs to read this interactive article:

are copypasta a thing on Lenny yet because of not… here’s a good a start as any.

I currently have 306 tabs open in chrome on my phone. That might be about average for me if I had to guess.
