I just found the term "traffic padding", which seems to accurately describe this.

Is there a technical term for this?

Some day we have to use packets which are pre-filled by random data to hide our keystrokes in. Not quite steganography, but close. Could also be used to make traffic-analysis harder/impossible even?

So, the advertised performance is just for the read-part, not the write-part? As far as I understand: writing would still exhibit the same characteristics as before, while reads would never be affected by other users.

How would mutually incompatible upstream changes from multiple SQLite edge instances be resolved? You'd need user input for that, right?

I reckon the sample was just thin enough.

Look up pjax. You can have both, every page gets reloaded, but the user won't notice it.

The value of GPT-4 also lies in its stored knowledge. A 70B model can't store that much.

To each their own. I haven't had the necessity to use it, and when I searched for problems the answers were mostly not applicable. All in all it wasn't worth the effort. I just read the source code of the lib I use instead. This t

I'm a senior dev. The only thing I found useful in the last years was the job market on SO. They closed that down recently. Now I don't even go there at all.

Story idea: This will probably result in the "corpweb" not being archived and thus will be forgotten in the next centuries (given we'll not hit a filter), while the "greynet" will survive the ages and only the vague

The absolute "best" answers are snarky that this problem is not applicable because they would be Facebook in scale or something if they had this problem. The person answering like that can do this because they've got lots of

So from a first glance it looks like the love-child of LISP and Forth. Is that a correct assessment?

I remember I've heard somewhere that our retina encodes the visuals it receives into a compressed signal before forwarding it to the visual cortex. If true, this may actually be how it's done "for real". ;)

And create a never to be deleted record of images across the infected population?

This reads really promising. They evaluated it rigorously and detected when the model hallucinated. I'm curious which texts will appear from the untranslated tablets. They sometimes allow very precious insights into everyday life mille

Sure, that's your prerogative, federation broadens your reach. But what's the point if it only opens the door to toxicity and negativity? It's about meaningful connections, not just more of them.

So the previous poster was spreading FUD? I'm feeling like I'm transported back to the Ballmer years.

The limit of people we can effectively interact with in a group setting is around 150. This is a limit of our brain, probably the neocortex, because bigger neocortexes lead to bigger group sizes in primates. This is called Dunbar's Num

Care to elaborate? I haven't had the pleasure of checking Mastodon out. (You're talking about that, right?) And also, which instance are you talking about?

The "general public" already can connect to the Fediverse, by making an account on a node in the Fediverse. See, simple. We don't need Meta for that. :)

> Free Software isn't about picking and choosing who gets to run your program or interact with your protocol. Federation is, but the concept of Meta using ActivityPub has nothing inherently wrong with it. Meta can ActivityPub themse

It's not pathetic. EEE has been shown time and time again (MS, Google, etc.). Also, Meta is a company known for dubious practices and anti-competitive behavior. So why trust them?

I had some sort of gnat living in the soil of my plants. After I subjectively tried every chemical known to mankind, I got rid of them by ordering a package of egg- or larvae-eating nematodes over the net, mixing them with water and sprinkl

What are the supported isolation levels? :)

Not sure they want that. That would copy over content from their server to the outside and this will be a nightmare for their lawyers. :)

They don't have a diverse content-base yet. The Fediverse "shall provide it" to them if it goes according to their plans. Once this deed is done, the Fediverse is no longer valuable to them.

by luckystarr 3y ago
This will not benefit Mastodon/Fediverse, but it will benefit Meta because of the already available content. It's basically solving their chicken-or-egg problem for them. I'm not at all sure this will be good for the Fedivers
119.
by luckystarr 3y ago
People on the Fediverse expected it very much. Meta already was trying to talk to the larger instances "off the record"[1]. Fediverse users are already planning to boycott any instance which federates with Meta to block any Embrac
