All we need to do to turn any LLM in to an AGI is figure out what system of tags is Turing-complete. If enough of us monkeys experiment with <load>s and <store>s and <j[e,ne,gt...]>s, we'll have AGI by morning.

The existence of meatspace never stopped the early web from flourishing, so why should the existence of the modern web stop anybody from making a second web? The only reason that Google was useful is because it tapped into the trust network

15 years ago, I used to keep many tabs of youtube videos open just because the "related" section was full of interesting videos. Then each of those videos had interesting relations. There was so much to explore before hitting a de

Consolidation on narrow themes is ensured by our reliance on query->answer search engines. If you think about the shape of the web at the time Google introduced PageRank, It was a huge graph of content connected by fine-grained related i

Don't forget that development tools are also comically slow and bloated.

For the same reason you need a stack or a queue for depth/breadth first search. Open tabs represent yet to be completed work. It took work in the first place to open those tabs. If you close them you lose that work.

Content negotiation is "friendlier to humans" in the sense that you can serve the right content to different clients using the same URL, transparent to the user. If the URL itself is never meant to be shared by the user, then I do

It's funny you say that, because that's more or less how non-tech people seem to think about programming. It's not naturally intuitive to them that renaming files, rocket trajectory simulation, and data analytics are fundamen

I think this is essentially a false dichotomy. It's possible to experience the loss of both of those eras, as well as the current one whenever it passes. There's no inherent conflict in wanting them all back.

That's not a contradiction, is it? Selective engagement and non-engagement are different things. It's reasonable for some individuals to be generally less sociable than others. That doesn't mean it's OK to explicitly exc

This is such a huge downside with subscription services in general. The product itself can change right under your nose and there's nothing you can do about it but cancel. First I was paying to filter out content, now I'm paying f

The smart thing to do isn't to remove it; They should charge for adversarial features. Pay your fee, you get not only an attention boost, but the ability to un-boost blues. If the net result is 0, the Nash Equilibrium is that everybody

Why does starting with ones' compliment make things easier? IMV, it makes it more confusing, because two's compliment seems like an arbitrary leap that happens to work. If you're tasked with mapping a subset of bit-states to

Two questions: 1. Whose role is it to make judgements about whether people should be able to find certain kinds of content? 2. Do you think modern recommendation systems are better at keeping people away from that kind of content? The thing

lemmy.world, for whatever reason, absolutely guzzles CPU cycles. I can't imagine what it could possibly need to do that requires executing that much javascript. It's all minimized, so it's hard to follow in the profiler.

I absolutely want to read some of these. There needs to be a way to for people to post and rank the best matching articles that actually exist. I dream of the day that generative AI is repurposed to act as a more effective search engine.
