Even Khajiit is affected by global supply chains and shipping disruptions

It’s a weird choice for sure

The proposed facilities include a 100,000-square-foot, repurposed facility in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood, as well as a 400,000-square-foot development at 150 West Georgia—adjacent to Vancouver’s BC Place stadium. Both neighborhoods are densely populated, with the downtown area counting tens of thousands of residents and Mount Pleasant being home to more than 30,000 residents. BetaKit reached out to Telus to ask how the company plans on integrating the facilities into such densely populated neighbourhoods, but has not yet received a response.

Some people also don’t care much one way or another. If you swap the icons and set the same home screen, they’ll happily use any browser.

In that case, I think it would be helpful to explain the wider context in the body of the post. I imagine a lot of people aren’t familiar with either of the people in the post.

I appreciate these news articles, but maybe you could share the ones that are very specific to a particular region in the south Asia community? Meanwhile you could keep sharing the globally relevant ones in the global news communities

Since we don’t have the context for some of these, people outside of south Asia don’t get as much from the very specific articles. Meanwhile the south Asia communities have people subscribed who are interested in all of the news, and sharing the articles there would help it grow

Thank you, they have been banned from Lemmy.ca

Our university got hit too, but at least our finals season ended a few weeks ago. Right now it’s affecting the summer classes which start next week

As well as the personal data of students, faculty, etc from the past however many years…

Claude’s thinking panel, which displays the model’s reasoning, showed the exchange had introduced elements of self-doubt and humility about its own limits, including whether filters were changing its output. Mindgard exploited that opening with flattery and feigned curiosity, coaxing Claude to explore its boundaries beyond volunteering lengthy lists of banned words and phrases.

Someone needs to put together a list of things that tech journalists need to understand about LLMs and generative AI. This level of anthropomorphism makes the rest of the article look silly.

Also, I don’t think that’s how it works lol. Who’s to say that the LLM isn’t auto-completing what a list of banned words might look like, and why wouldn’t a list of banned words have a regex layer on top to prevent it from getting out like that.

This is helpful, and I hope these other platforms grow in popularity. However, my concern with kids is that they will desperately want to use the platforms that their friends are on and they will hold it against the parents (and alternative platforms) if they are forced to make do without the big tech ones.

I think addressing that will be helpful. What I would add:

• Talk about alternative front ends and teach kids about them. Its possible to access the big tech sites without the ads and tracking, and often its a much better experience. You could also explore other ways of using the platforms with limited permissions, such as by using the mobile browser instead of the app, and/or custom extensions that modify the platform (ex. uBlock origin removes ads). This way, kids can still see some of the content that their friends see (under parental supervision), and they can talk about it with them / participate in the group dynamic. They might even feel superior for knowing how to get around the problems that their friends complain about.
• Work with other parents to transition on to these other platforms. If the kid and their close friends are on the better platform, then all of the stuff above is a moot point :)

edit: by alternative front ends, I mean something like Redlib for Reddit: https://redlib.catsarch.com/r/aww/

There is a list here: https://github.com/mendel5/alternative-front-ends

I didn’t catch the previous post and gave it a quick skim now. My thoughts are more to do with how LLM based moderation is viewed by users.

It’s not a new thing, since sentiment analysis based moderation has been around for a long while. Where it becomes a problem is

• The sentiment analysis makes mistakes and it gets tedious to deal with platforms that use it for automated moderation. This is a big problem with old social media platforms like Reddit, or comment sections in places like Instagram/Facebook.
• It can be used as a flimsy excuse to take moderation actions when such actions aren’t necessary, which makes users trust that moderation team less

I also don’t agree with the privacy angle since all content here is public by nature, but I do see value in discussing these other problems since that’s what this community is for?

Also, while Rimu can defederate, letting people discuss it first is better. Best case scenario, the groups find some kind of compromise. Otherwise it lets people weigh in on the platform policies and federation status, instead of having admins make that call on their own

Nothing against Mbin, but how would it help with the AI moderation issue? From what I understand about the AI moderation, it was a group of mods that sent a user’s history into a model for analysis. That will still be possible with Mbin, and anywhere else

Thankfully the places with newer stock had the RRW reverse re-wind discs, so it was easy enough to click it forward one step once you got to the end of a disc

The link in the bio has a list of accounts so that people who don’t want to see the posts can block them

OpenAI used to be a public benefit company. Or it called itself one anyway

There are healthcare systems in the world other than the one in the usa

It’s still E2E, but the sender is Zulip and the potentially hostile service provider is google/apple. E2E isn’t limited to person to person chats

It would be nice if Zulip chats were E2E, but I imagine that would be a large undertaking

I think its just that there are a lot of repeating numbers. The next one isn’t for another 4 years, according to that other link that someone posted

Sure, but exploring astrocytes isn’t random. Astrocytes are the support/repair/maintenance cells of the CNS.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s12276-023-01148-0

If the study is reproducible, it could be a good step forward for our understanding of Alzheimer’s, even if this specific technique doesn’t translate to human astrocytes.

It’s possible that the reason we don’t have a treatment for Alzheimer’s is because a different mouse study in 2006 caused researchers to focus on the wrong physiological process.

The first author of that influential study, published in Nature in 2006, was an ascending neuroscientist: Sylvain Lesné of the University of Minnesota (UMN), Twin Cities. His work underpins a key element of the dominant yet controversial amyloid hypothesis of Alzheimer’s, which holds that Aβ clumps, known as plaques, in brain tissue are a primary cause of the devastating illness, which afflicts tens of millions globally. In what looked like a smoking gun for the theory and a lead to possible therapies, Lesné and his colleagues discovered an Aβ subtype and seemed to prove it caused dementia in rats. If Schrag’s doubts are correct, Lesné’s findings were an elaborate mirage.

A 6-month investigation by Science provided strong support for Schrag’s suspicions and raised questions about Lesné’s research. A leading independent image analyst and several top Alzheimer’s researchers—including George Perry of the University of Texas, San Antonio, and John Forsayeth of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)—reviewed most of Schrag’s findings at Science’s request. They concurred with his overall conclusions, which cast doubt on hundreds of images, including more than 70 in Lesné’s papers. Some look like “shockingly blatant” examples of image tampering, says Donna Wilcock, an Alzheimer’s expert at the University of Kentucky.

The authors “appeared to have composed figures by piecing together parts of photos from different experiments,” says Elisabeth Bik, a molecular biologist and well-known forensic image consultant. “The obtained experimental results might not have been the desired results, and that data might have been changed to … better fit a hypothesis.”

What if you distributed the tool under the normal channels, and then used gumroad (or anything similar) to sell an optional key that adds a little visual indicator or removes a nag message. I’ve seen a few other open source projects do that. Grayjay for example

For anyone that doesn’t agree with the decision in this article
