In an environment with repeated interactions, the winning strategy in game theory has always been a tit for tat strategy.
“When they go low, we go high” is just virtue based jerking off.
While this person hilariously failed at what they were trying to do, it still doesn’t make what they were trying to do any less nefarious. Them getting bullied and laughed off this community is funny and also necessary to ensure that such actors don’t rise without fear of consequence.

What a loser.
Yes, developing FOSS can be a very thankless job. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having political disagreements with people.
BUT, not having explicitly disclosed client wide blocklists is such a shitty thing to do. The fediverse is supposed to be FREE from shadowbans and secretive political manipulations. And the DDoS script? Ew.
While this person definitely doesn’t deserve death threats, they definitely deserve all the bullying directed at them.

Ignorance: Lack of information. Stupidity: Inadequate usage of logical reasoning to seek and process information.
That’s how I understand it

Haha naah, the code that sees if you have enough tokens or not isn’t an LLM.
It (from what I understand) just sits between you and the LLM.
No tricking it haha
- Comment on A Space Odyssey 2026 6 days ago:
LLMs predict the next best “token”. So what’s a token? It can be a word, a simple punctuation mark, or sometimes even a phrase.
So basically, here’s what an LLM works like:
- An
- An apple
- An apple is
- An apple is red
Basically, it feeds in tokens to itself to predict the next best token. Then, that entire chunk of tokens is fed back in to predict the next token.
As you can see, tokens kinda correlate well with energy consumption, hardware wear and tear and so on.
So, a low token request will consume less resources than a high token request. Hence, it makes sense to charge per token.

Sorry, it was more of a reply to the discussion going on in the comments rather than your post specifically.
But in short, demonstrating the failure of “communism” by giving examples of objectively NON communist places isn’t logical if we’re having a good faith conversation. Yes, certain socialist economic, political and social policies MUST be criticised straight into the ground.
HOWEVER, criticizing “communism” while pointing at North Korea, China, the USSR and so on is like criticizing democracy and republicanism by pointing at Athenian slaves and the totalitarianism of the first French Republic.
- Comment on Interesting 1 week ago:
Communism is a stateless, classless society. By definition, this means that there cannot be a “communist country”, or a “communist state”.
Oh wow, not the first time I’ve heard this! Such a blatant example of the no true Scotsman fallacy!
It actually isn’t though. No true Scotsman is about pointing differences in UNRELATED characteristics to falsely reject provided examples. But “communist countries” are a violation of the clearly stated definition itself. Rejecting these examples is not fallacious.
Yes, countries in the eastern block can most definitely be classified as “socialist”. Socialist policies generally center around “workers owning means of production”. Meaning, most capital is owned by the working class.
NOW. What does one even mean by “owned by the working class”? Worker coops? Consumer coops? A singular state, owning capital? Different leftists have different positions on this.
But none of this really has much dirt on the idea of communism. Did the first French Republic after the revolution somehow show that republicanism, or democratic ideals were bad and that we should return to a monarchy? Not really. It was a revolution gone wrong.

I really despise people treating children like livestock- as if they’re an extension of their parents, or as if they’re under the ownership of their parents.
Sure, children aren’t independent YET. That doesn’t make them incapable of thinking, feeling and wanting. Being an inexperienced human mustn’t deprive one of being treated like a free human.
This is why we CREATED SCHOOLS. So that once they hit 18, they’re as prepared as possible for adulthood. Doing stupid shit like banning them from social media isn’t going to teach them how to actually, responsibly use social media as an adult. Imagine never having used social media before in your life. Then, you turn 18, and suddenly get access to it. Wouldn’t propaganda and the negative effects on mental health caused by social media be EVEN MORE INTENSE?
Slightly controversial take I guess, but here it is: we must progressively aim to lower the voting age to enfranchise this disenfranchised group of humans who are equally, if not more affected by decisions made by society. AT THE SAME TIME, we must invest heavily into improving the quality of education, so that the new, younger voters are capable of bearing the burden of the new responsibilities that are paired with the power of voting.
Without representation, we get stupid shit like this.

- Comment on If Sodom and Gomorrah were real. How bad were they that god had to come down and smite them? Are they any comparison to today's society? 3 weeks ago:
If God is real then God must die.
If God is real then God doesn’t love the creatures on this planet. This sentient creature created a reality filled with suffering of the highest order.
A counter argument to this is this:
We cannot understand God’s plan as we aren’t capable of understanding it because we aren’t God.
This argument is quite stupid in my opinion. Zeus raped people. Is Zeus bad? I think we can agree that Zeus is bad. If a super advanced alien created a human zoo, put humans in it without their consent and also put in wasps whose stings make the humans want to kill themselves. Would we say that the alien is benevolent? Would we say “oooh, Mr. Alien is too advanced for us to perceive their plan, but Mr. Alien definitely loves us”? No, we would try to escape and kill that alien so that it can never harm us ever again. Why does God get special treatment then?

I mean it’s so clear how these folks haven’t actually gone out and talked to real people. People have very different beliefs, most which aren’t logically consistent. People don’t give a shit about “reading theory”.
If you want to do something (which could be as simple as working in a group project), you need to build coalitions. Focusing on issues that you agree upon and building up from there.
This purity bullshit is just so tiring lmao

You know… The obsession of American MLs with “enlightening the people” by posting propaganda in places meant to be fun is really really annoying.
I don’t give a shit about your American politics. I’m in this community to look at pictures of beans and jeans. There are communities dedicated specifically to American politics, where people will engage with you properly.

A phone is quite likely one of the most touched and seen item by the user in their day. For something like that, tactile sensation, ergonomics and looks kinda do matter, no?
I can’t be the only one who receives genuine pleasure from handling a clean, smooth glass brick every day, right?
And yes, phones are expensive and important. That’s why we just… Use them carefully and not drop them.
If I purchased an expensive car, I’d use it carefully. I wouldn’t cover it up with plastic protection mats or whatever you protect it in case I crash.
And again, about dropping the phone… Just… Don’t drop it? How does a drop even happen? Is it really that hard not to drop a phone?
- Comment on Genius 4 weeks ago:
I think I’ll be able to empathize with extraterrestrial alien religious rituals first before I can empathize with people who modify carefully crafted ergonomics of their phones with cases and stupid shit like this.
“Oh, my phone needs that ugly as round thingy and a transparent case that turns yellow within a month because I tend to drop it”
How… How about NOT DROPPING IT??? The beautifully crafted materials of your phone, that beautiful glass, the thinness… all of that is gone because you decided to slap a cheap ass case on it…
- Comment on What do you think realistically would happen the moment we meet extraterrestrials? 2 months ago:
I don’t think it would be in the advantage of smart civ to willfully contact another smart civ till it is confirmed that the “to be contacted” civ has a really good understanding of game theory.
You cannot negotiate mutually assured destruction with a civ that does not understand what mutually assured destruction means.
Do I think we would be destroyed if some other alien civ finds us? No. If civ A observes civ B destroying civ C, everyone would want to destroy civ B immediately. The possibility of there being peaceful contact for civ B goes away.
Also, contacting us must be in the benefit of the civ that contacts us (assuming they are rational).
