  Looks like a video game screenshot!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does humanism lead to tolerance paradox?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I suppose it’s a matter of how you go about it. You can not tolerate someone who is intolerant of a specific group of people by either offering understanding and support, explaining how hard it is to change your beliefs and that you’ll help them to be a better person, or you can punch them.

  The first option is harder, and feels less satisfying - especially if they’ve hurt people you care about - but it is the solution that has the potential to turn intolerance into tolerance, rather than just making them firmer in their beliefs and hate you more.

  Also, tolerance is not inherently good and intolerance is not inherently bad. For example, I am intolerant of people keeping slaves - and you would have to twist the meaning of intolerance to make owning a slave intolerant, rather than just bad - and I don’t think that is a bad thing to be intolerant of.

  What does the last one mean in the context of a language model? It’ll describe it to you?

  This is mentioned in an Enid Blyton story funnily enough!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Assuming I appear naked in a field in England in 1375, I would first try to, in no particular order (at first, then a particular order)

  • find cloth to cover my face and hands so I don’t transmit or catch any diseases
  • distill water so I can drink it without getting diseases
  • use yams or horse urine to create HRT
  • communicate with the locals and seek a local blacksmith to create a metal tube with metal balls inside it, and mix charcoal, potash, and sulfur to make a primitive gun to defend myself against the people who think I’m a witch or a demon or whatever
  • talk to the women and encourage them to rise up against the system and patriarchy, teach them how to make weapons, about 4 field crop rotation if they don’t already know it, otherwise about automated steam engines, weavers, hydroelectric dams, etc
  • march up to the feudal lord and demand democracy, with the fear of the gun and half the population behind me they will agree
  • teach about the scientific method to get them to question things, do their own research, and learn more
  • there will be scientific labs, primitive computers can be developed, we can spread our advanced culture to the rest of Afro-Eurasia, also prevent slavery
  • warn people about going to America and Australia unprepared, go with them in modern ships and don’t spread disease, talk to the locals and trade with them and learn from them, don’t kill them or replace them. Teach them the tech advancements too
  • Write down lots of things, invent the printing press if not already invented, document human knowledge and encourage more documentation by others

  This is all if I have any measure of success at the first things and don’t die or kill myself

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Scientifically speaking, there is no absolute reference frame. So you can be wherever you like depending on what reference you choose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do British people say "brr" when they're cold? If so, how do they pronounce the R?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not usually, I wouldn’t, but if I would I would pronounce the r like short oo with vocal fry

  Ironically you made more typos than the AI image generator. It’s noble, not Nobel (Nobel is the guy who the prize is named after).

  I agree with the first part, but I absolutely do not want to give my biometric data to the government. They clearly already have a way of assigning everyone a number for the National Insurance Number, so just use that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I meant a more graphical way, but yes, that would work

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only one I really miss is an NFC payments app, but a local LLM for Android that’s FOSS would be cool too - PocketPal is free, but not open source or on F-Droid.

  Also LibreOffice for desktop is great, but on mobile there aren’t any easy to use ones in the same way Google Docs is, I’ve tried LibreOffice for Android and Collabora

  Can I have a link to the actual article/paper?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can iPhones receive files via Bluetooth?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You think it was stupid? It was obviously an intentional choice to influence people to pester their friends to get Apple devices so it will ‘just work’

  So what’s the genetic difference? If the copy was good enough, surely they would be dire wolves? Also, what is the motivation to bring back dire wolves?

  I must have missed, which app are you using to run the models?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've started improving some of the art of the video game I've been working on⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Please do. I don’t have that much VRAM, but I do have slow RAM I can use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prehistoric Crossroads⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, words are defined based on how people use them, they don’t have precise objective definitions like that. Words are messy, subjective, and the meaning is dependent on the context and culture it’s being used in. I’m sure in some academic contexts that is the accurate definition, but there will also be cultures and contexts where your original intuition about the meaning was correct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what to do with ipad that isn’t working right?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There should be a way to hard reset a device? Yes, there should, and it should be easy and simple. It’s ok if it erases the device, but it shouldn’t be a useless brick without connecting to any company’s servers. Of course, I wouldn’t expect any better from an Apple device, they’re very locked down.
