It's definitely popular online, specifically on Reddit, Bluesky, Twitter, and TikTok. There's communities that have formed around their anti-AI stance[1][2][3], and after multiple organic efforts to "brainstorm slurs" fo

There are attempts, but they all suck IMHO :( Someday I'll get around to doing this in Three.js for real, if no one beats me to it. It's shocking that we have a million 3D sites to visualize LEO satellites and plenty to visualize

I spent a while trying to set it up, as I share your general take on their ethos. Personally, I'm okay with a 'power user'-focused text editor, even! But the relative lack of syntax highlighting options got me to give up. May

Dang, the cope is rarely this obvious. Don't take out your commute on the rest of us, we're harmless!

Fascinating, thanks for sharing your expertise. I've never published a blog, obviously. This just seems like such an absurdly simple use case... If blogs aren't static, what is???

Oof. Not usually one to comment on technical issues, but that's a rough one to get for a (presumably) completely-static site! Dr. Sheaf, please consider serving your site via a dedicated service like S3. This is a solved problem <3

Oh I'm very on board; thanks for spreading the good word! I am only an occasional contributor to -pedia or -data, but I am a huge fan of both (and to a lesser extent, their 13 siblings[1] -- especially the baby of the family, Wikifun

That sinking feeling when someone posts a version of something you’ve been working on for months :( Congrats to the dev regardless, if you’re in here! Looks great, love the front end especially. I’ll make sure to shoot you a link when I rel

Well put, very true! I think (?) the technical term is “distress”. This is also their out for not getting rid of “transvestic disorder” yet, which they swear is totally unrelated to trans people, it’s just for men who feel compelled to wear

Ooo, finally a chance to share my useless accumulated knowledge from the past few months of Reddit procrastination! It starts to hallucinate, and after a while, all the LLM can do is try and to continue telling the user what they want i

That's just a blatant misunderstanding of what diagnostic criteria are. They don't Actually ("ontologically") exist, they're Virtual constructs made for a purpose. In particular, over half a century of person

So is QAnon a religion? Awkward question, but it’s non-psychotic by definition. Not to anyone who has ever discussed it... Is this psychosis? The answer has to be no A lot of really confident talk without even a passing attem

Blatant, open, unabashed authoritarianism is just “noise”…? What red line are you waiting for before acknowledging that we’re in a dangerous situation (aka headed towards doom)?

Real… luckily they can just hop the border into Vancouver - not as safe as Europe or east Asia, but certainly an easier ask. I wonder if they have any dedicated compute stateside, tho…

Totally agree -- those are two incredibly useful features of regex[1][2] that are often effectively irreplaceable. I could see this being a straightforward tradeoff for applications that know for sure they don't need complex regexes bu

In the great battle of minds between Turing, Minsky, and Hofstadter vs. Marcus, Zitron, and Dreyus, I'm siding with the former every time -- even if we also have some bloggers on our side. Just because that report is fucking terrifying

Ok I'm a huge Kantian and every bone in my body wants to quibble with your summary of transcendental illusion, but I'll leave that to the side as a terminological point and gesture of good will. Fair enough. I don't agree tha

They’re a public benefit corporation. Regardless, no human is amoral, even if they sometimes claim to have reasons to pretend to be; don’t let capitalist illusions constrain you at such an important juncture, friend.

You think Model Welfare Inc. is more likely to be dangerous than the Mechahitler Brothers, the Great Church of Altman, or the Race-To-Monopoly Corporation? Or are you just saying all frontier AGI research is bad?

Really impressive stuff, as always. I will say: it took me a shamefully long time to realize that the name ended in "M" instead of "B"! Perhaps they should consider renaming this to "Gemma 3 .27B"...

I could've sworn I remembered such a post, thank you so much for vindicating my hunch! At the time I figured there wasn't much harm in it, but in hindsight it's obvious that the absurd number of translations was the just smok

It blows my mind how many computing professionals truly think this is the case. It doesn't take a tech blogger to draw a trend line through the advancements of the past 2.5 years and see where we're headed. The fact that grifters

Thanks for the detailed answers! Again, I share at least some of your underlying concern, and don't want that to be overshadowed. That said, some responses: This is the perfect opportunity to do so, and they aren't doing it. I

I share your general frustration, but as an unabashed Wikimedia glazer, I have some potential answers: 1. They lost this legal challenge, so perhaps their UK lawyers (barristers?) knew that much broader claim would be even less likely to

Yeah, that's what gets me, too. Faking a letter would pretty obviously be a bad move legally-speaking, but people make bad moves sometimes. Faking the remote deactivation of the vehicle on the highway, tho... I mean, how would you even
