very helpful, thank you!!

yes! i think so! he was the one who introduced me to xkcd!

my college roommate made this joke in 2009, complete with the '4'

i still don't get it lol

they tend to

i love OpenBSD

I'm sorry to say this to you. It wasn't difficult to make a voting machine in 2011. What we have are fraud machines. It's just politically impossible to make a secure voting machine, even though it's technically trivial.

I'm running it in my old laptop, I love using openBSD. So many little things that just work.

They singlehandedly exploded the anti-feminist movement in 2010, mostly because YouTube monetisation was more lucrative back then. I do not really blame them, it's a very "they know not what they do" situation, but it led to gamergate and eventually trump but a lot of things led to those. learning that you can't trust God went hand-in-hand with 'idiot women love astrology and crystals' and i don't think they predicted how much better their anti women stuff would do compared to the 2009 debating creationists content. Nonetheless I do crave accountability from new atheists, they need to stop rebelling from their Christian upbringing and instead either contextualise or uproot it.

Atheists now, they seem all right. Most of them my age seem pretty mature.

as a trans this overton window is so exhausting

God this is such a clarifying take. The meme is just 'voting is the most important thing you can do' when it was always narratively a free lottery ticket and now kind of actually resembles a free lottery ticket in other ways. would you buy a free lottery ticket? i would.

there is no comparison between software and services, though. self-hosting deepseek might be, subjectively, the wrong choice for your lab, but chatgpt is wrong for everyone, every human and every animal and plant too

this is coming from a k2 7b user btw. it's good enough for me!

edit: i replied to the wrong fucking comment and I'm too angry to fix it

no. I'm in netsec, they aren't shutting down your local model with secret code. deepseek is a lot safer then Claude, grok, and chatgpt because you don't need Internet.
