Probably, and also from the fact that although there's a plethora of matrix clients and servers on paper, none is as feature complete (or feature-complete to the point of usefulness, I might say) as "the one". XMPP has about

What server was that? I got into the XMPP self hosting game in 2014, even then, ejabberd was one of the most "fire and forget" piece of server software I was running. It takes some ports opening and some DNS SRV records to be set

That's not answering my question, what precisely do LLM enable in ways of educating children that hasn't been thoroughly studied before? What role do you want to give chatbots in the complex framework of child brain development? H

What a weird, unhinged take. Android is mostly written in C, Android apps are AOT/JIT compiled when written in Java, and the NDK lets you write/port from whatever native you have, which is how you get Chrome to run on it to begin

Indeed, it won't: I can link a conversation with XYZ-bot that tells me that I'm handsome and my ideas are brilliant and I'm en route to tremendous success. The point is that LLMs are, by design and current models norms, syco

Which was pretty much the whole damn premise of needing a teacher to begin with. What a surprise!

Although obvious, I think it's worth stating that this method mostly (only?) makes sense for higher education, where students are conscious, involved and engaged in their curriculum.

by ezst 2mo ago
Could it be that you vastly overgeneralize? While there's no perfect education system, many are much better than the nightmare you describe.

You can probably keep this kind of unconstructive comments to yourself. Even if this was a place to discuss one's beliefs, nobody was attacking yours to begin with.

there might be several gaps before that, even. From the top of my head: - text description to 3D geometry gap: you can't easily describe complex geometry in a language that's common and convenient to both humans and machines - 3D

And then do what? Do you have any evidence that Claud would do anything relevant with those?

by ezst 2mo ago
A LLM may produce OpenSCAD compliant syntax, I don't doubt that, but how do you make it produce designs that fit engineering constraints? How do you even express those to a LLM? How do you validate those? How do you iterate upon them?

by ezst 2mo ago
How would you even get Claude involved in that? This isn't your git repo that a language model can scrape for textual content.

by ezst 2mo ago
Not OP, but LLMs didn't exactly invent the kind of content that's not worthy of your time, they merely turned it into a commodity (and made everyone have to work much harder figuring which is which).

I would also challenge OP on the relevance of E2EE for very large MUCs: beyond a certain point, the room can't reasonably be considered private. With current (Signal-style, also found in XMPP, Matrix, …) crypto, you are encoding ever m

and to add to that, XMPP has extremely simple and familiar "WhatsApp"-like clients, so there's really not much of a barrier to entry. Especially if you join by a user sending you an easy-invite link (XEP-0401). All you have t

Core matrix is still an insanely complex and clunky protocol that's still struggling to stabilize and scale after more than a decade. That's not on spaces , threads or video-chats (which are mostly client-side features).

Doesn't XMPP check all those, and more? I run my local _ejabberd_ for a decade and some, and I'm joined to a couple 100+-users rooms. On my phone, I have a whatsapp-like experience with _Conversations_, that even the least tech-sa

Because the tools are somewhat comparable, you seem to have been tricked into conflating "protectionism" (which has some stabilising virtues, especially in the area of agriculture, arms, heavy industries, resources extraction) and
