Very cool! So much potential for interesting stuff in this algorithm. I also recently made a minimalistic browser playable cellular automata [1] implementation for a game jam - I think it's relevant enough to link here, might be intere

Cool! Reading through the page, there seems to be people behind this who know what they're doing.

I am 100.0% sure this is what someone has said for 256GB drives, 256MB drives, 256KB drives, and the same person will be saying it for 256YB drives.

As a gamedev, that sentence nearly gave me a heart attack. :) I get where you are coming from, but the amount of work you can do in 5ms is mindblowing.

I'm not sure what to think about the fact that this whole thing is playing out exactly like in the movie "Don't Look Up". It's eerie. I'm between fourth and fifth stage, trying to think how I could best prepare

Indeed, each one brings worse news than the previous.

I don't know man, maybe a massive antitrust case is enough.

I was seriousy shocked of all the abuse when I had to install a new winblows laptop for a relative. How is any of it legal? How the hell did we let it happen? Mindblowing.

I hate everything about this. Everything Meta touches turns to dystopian shit.
11.
by nmcela 3y ago
Yeah, no thank you. There's something wrong with the culture if the answer to this worsening ad dystopia is "just deal with it".

I agree. Especially the point about staying as a honest tool and not joining the growth-monopoly-privacy-theft -game at all resonated heavily with me. Also kudos to Kev Quirk. Meta in its entirety is incredibly immoral in every way.

This is huge, and unfortunately not surprising at all in the age of massive ever-growing out of control tech monopolies that do whatever the fuck they want. Whatever reads in the TOS now, they can and will just reword it when they need it.

What an amazing world we live in. Pick this giant greedy tech monopoly datagarden or the other one. It's a pseudochoice. Walled datagardenism needs to STOP.

I would love to contribute. I don't know much about federated ecosystems, though. If you do, could you point me to the right direction? (Google is shit as you know.) I installed Matrix and Synapse to my local server, but the installati

The American culture based on greed and violence started to rot the western civilization from inside. Massive out-of-control monopolies continued to balloon to unbelivable scales. It was the beginning of the end for both the USA and the Put

I had the exact same impression. Is anyone working on similar projects and planning to open source it soon? If not, I'm gonna start building one myself.

Addendum: I will be supporting this ecosystem in any way I can. If you want to be empowered rather than enslaved by AI, you should consider supporting it too. Every fighter counts!

Just as I was complaining about the worst monopolies taking the lead on AI - Mozilla comes to the rescue by announcing independent open-source AI ecosystem. This is great news!

What a HUGE shame that the worst and greediest american tech monopolies are leading us into this new world. It feels extremely dystopian. Let's hope the OSS community can build something with the llama models.

I've had those exact same feelings. Yesterday I used GPT-4 for the first time and it blew my mind. Every time I start to doubt if it's just hype, I go test it, and it blows my mind again. My personal productivity has skyrocketed,

Yeah, I get your point. Of course their point of view about the culture and society is unique and important and absolutely worth listening to, but it is true they will certainly miss a lot of the cultural nyances for exactly the reasons you

I'm finnish and work with a lot of international people, many of whom have lived here for decades. None of them speak Finnish, and I, and all the other Finns I know, would never expect them to speak it. It's not that big of a deal

Exactly. So much of the software industry has been consolidated into the hands of a few monopolies. Web, with all of its horrible problems, is pretty much the only democratic platform we have left, and even it is constantly being eaten away

by nmcela 4y ago
Then you'd be excluding yourself from every platform. We obviously need serious regulation to these massive dystopic tech monopolies.

I agree, it's quite ridiculous to call that performant when considering the reality of what's possible. But compared to other electron apps, it's way better, and the team has done a good job with the bad tools given. I suppos
