Ghana isn’t that poor. Its HDI is above Pakistan, and Pakistan is a tech mind hub.

Maybe Linux is considering prioritizing consumer hardware (safety, less room for human error)? Android is already a thing, so maybe there is pressure for prioritizing consumer hardware?

If technology advances as rapidly as we’d expect from the last decades; especially if RAM advances to cheap 256GB, 512GB levels, then I think we can expect local AI to be a serious thing. Possibly even power training your own AIs at that level (500m, 1B, 4B, 8B).

There is a logical limit as to what these things can do and what datasets are available. Facebook NLLB translating AI machine is 600m for example, very lightweight. But it probably trained on massive datasets. It’s important that all of this is readily available for the local maker/hacker to train for themselves.

I think it’s reasonable to expect that European and other World Universities will make this information available, as it is of common interest.

The thing is: this limiting development of machines that impedes datacenter-centered AI from working (quick obsolescence) is what could make it work locally.

Carnival makes up for it. There’s more beauty to it than it seems at first glance.

Some introverts might think: “It’s just an even larger assembly of people”, but people are allowed to be weird and graceful.

True

Yes. He is a respected male now. He is 23+1, watch out! No one will mess with him as he sexuality is assured (sorry if I’m being too intense about this, I’m brazilian. I’ve noticed it doesn’t make sense to people of other countries in the other commentary)

Viado es veado. Fuck this

Even if it sounded different it wouldn’t make a difference, because language is flexible and undefined, or are we going to take classes on how to talk “e” or “i” as well? I’m certain we need more of those 🙄

Oh yes, my sexuality is protected 🫦

entropic dystopic

There is quantum cryptography also. If any middle man listens into the communication, the information is scrabbled. Cool stuff

I hate that “no health benefits” is added just to compare with the supposed “health benefits” of circumcision, even though I would never like to get rid of my foreskin.

Edit: I’m moderately sure a guy with no foreskin has less pleasure when masturbating than me.

I’m tolerant of jank if the game is well-structured or made by a small team. It doesn’t mean it has to be cheaper, but the price really helps and shows how greedy those big AAA titles are.

Some AAAs fill the game with functionalities or characteristics. It creates intricate stories supposed to please everyone. Gaming is becoming a culture asset.

I feel the same way about indie books. The “AAA” books tell stories about worlds that I really don’t care about. It doesn’t matter how much money you put into it, they were just not made for me.

Indie titles (and books) fill this gap. I feel welcomed by some games and this matters more than any attention-locking they could put into their games for gameplay, or stories they construct.

Books (and therefore stories) are Supposed to reach just some people. How the heck could you create a story that satisfies everyone? It just doesn’t happen. It’s culture.

As an article that was published here on Lemmy talks: “When you read a book, you’re conspiring with the author” for a reality. So it is with some videogames. And as I said, videogames are becoming culturally relevant, so all the big companies got their claws on it, you can’t expect it to be untainted.

The Universe has a past, but also a future.

It’s incredible how lab and art culture can decide what will be the wear for the next centuries. Very fashionable.

Well, it’s clear Linux is getting a lot of attention on the desktop side of things. So it’s important that all organizations involved make the right decisions for the public interest and the environment of Linux.

That means a community level of compliance that matches Big Tech capacities.

I try to like Wired, but my most intimate sexual desires are the least of my worries about surveillance now. Who cares about my sexual intimacy? I rather protect what I think about life. Protecting sexuality is nothing beyond sexual repression.

This is really interesting. I actually think that’s better than theory. We live in a data-centered world now, right? That means hard experimental knowledge has high value. So, in theory we keep speculating what the math means, or you can tell a computer to try to figure it out. But in experimental you get hard facts.

This is a scientific exercise of hard experimental work. I think it’s valuable. We’ll get to understand insects and their morphology better. At least it’s money spent not on health issues only. It broadens science; we get to actually understand the world and not focus on insects for safety/health issues like “Why is a mosquito a vector for Dengue?” or “How can we eliminate invasive insect species from crop fields?”. This is science beyond the obvious.

It’s exactly that. Politics isn’t about managing. This is what it’s all about: politics is about people, not being a CEO. If you are to be a CEO, you’re already a technocrat, since which CEO wouldn’t want the most technical people on the team?

The problem is twofold: finding technical solutions for society as if it was a machine limited by degrees of freedom, and thinking that the best fit people should be on ruling positions.

Politics is about people!!

A “EE” degree won’t get you into poking the right things into memory using BASIC. How about your “EE” programmers try that understanding of hardware?

I think this is important. Many science history textbooks highlight that the ancients got the measures right by 5% off or that the modern era scientists got the quantity of oxidation (phlogistic) off by 5%. So it’s important to note that we are actually advancing in Science and that we are finding new horizons, not just repeating what the ancients or modern era scientists did.
