If not on the surface, we’re all deep down aware that an initial era of an advertising-free new technology is once again almost over.

See you on neural links before “sponsored thoughts”.

It's already over, the problem is the missing transparency. With an LLM you have no idea what influenced the answer, and there is no good way to show it to the user.

Firefox multicontainers are pretty cool. But it’s an advanced process that most people wouldn’t do or do correctly.

I love the containers too. My current use case is to keep my YouTube account separate from my Google one. Google doesn't need all that behavioural data in one place.

It's a pity Firefox doesn't get the praise it deserves half as much as it cops criticism.

It is absolutely not an advanced process. It's clicking a gui. It's not advanced thinking to understand profiles. It's a basic ability to hold multiple things in your mind at once. Telling people that's difficult only increases the societal problem that being ignorant is ok.

Mostof the people I met outside work wouldn't understand this concept.

I think you're lucky to hang around people whose heads don't hurt when they think.

“Difficult” is a relative term. They were saying it was a difficult concept for them, not you. In order to save their ego, people often phrase those events to be inclusive of the reader; it doesn’t feel as bad if you imagine everyone else would struggle too. Pay attention and you’ll notice yourself doing it too.

“Ignorant” is also infinite - you’re ignorant of MANY things as well, and I’m sure you would struggle with things I can do with ease. For example, understanding the meaning behind what’s being said so I know not to brow-beat someone over it.

The possibilities with Firefox multi containers and automation scripts as well are truly endless.

It's also possible to make Firefox route each container through a different proxy which could be running locally even which then can connect to multiple different VPN's. I haven't tried doing that but its certainly possible.

It's sort of possible to run different browsers with completely new identities and sometimes IP within the convenience of one. It's really underrated. I don't use the IP part of this that I have mentioned but I use multi containers quite a lot on zen and they are kind of core part of how I browse the web and there are many cool things which can be done/have been done with them.

The difference is that the recruiters come to you on LinkedIn. This is quite handy when you're currently employed since opportunities come to you that you wouldn't have otherwise looked for.

Cool, even more reason to dislike it. I want my people doing their work, not wondering if the grass is greener somewhere else.

Your personal opinion does not (and should not) dictate how others behave.

Ah. So another way to say it doesn’t get your location every 4 seconds.

Yeah, I could agree to that.

If I could wave a wand, I would reduce the number of Linux distributions down to 10 and absolutely no more.

It is a ridiculous waste to have this many duplications of work and bugs, along with the lack of collaboration.

I’m still on the Linux Mint part of the transition from Windows and I just for no reason see going back.

I’m dealing with sub-par Office on my work machines. But as MS moves/forces Office into online modes and I’m hoping that it’ll just be an electron app I can pull up.

Maybe. But I kind of view LinkedIn as a social network for people who only by the grace of a couple better decisions are talking about real business and not multilevel marketing schemes… but otherwise use the same themes and terminologies.

Like mostly people who have confused luck and success, or business acumen for religion.

So I wouldn’t use LinkedIn as a positive data point of what’s hot.

Yeah, I’ve been considering this. They’re going to start removing em dashes, which currently is a surefire way to detect AI text.

Let’s say lose those and using emojis as bullet points. It’s going to be a lot harder to detect.

I don't actually look for em dashes or emojis as indicators, I can tell just from a few paragraphs if the pacing and flow is AI slop.

The first one is actually quite good.

Some of the others, I don’t feel like added value, but I agree that these are some of the best of a practice that I agreed does not add a ton of value typically

One was more parameters, sure.

More training on fingers specifically.

Image VAEs (variation auto encoders) are functions that compress the latent (working) image down. The earlier VAEs would mess up fine details. At a most basic level, just picture compression issues.

Training against bad previous work with six fingers.

Models working in 1024 instead of 512.
