Truth social being an example of a Mastodon server that doesn’t market itself as being . Doesn’t federate either, and they’ve violated the license, but core concept is there to be copied.

Absolutely is but if onboarding requires help from a human then there is work to be done.

> I've helped people join a Mastodon instance and set up their profile and follow a few people in a matter of minutes. That you had to do this is the issue that I'm talking about.

My justification for stating that is that we're seeing people come back to Bluesky whereas people would try to create an account on a Mastodon service, their first post would be confusion and terror, and they'd leave after a few d

I think that the clear preference people have for Bluesky over the Fediverse shows that maybe it's as decentralised as people as willing to accept. Fedi is an amazing piece of software but so too people were/are bouncing off of it

That'd be a convincing argument if the internet wasn't brainwashing a significant portion of adults into believing weird things about the political elite, vaccines, 5G, etc.

Given the amount of people blindly trusting the output, I think that a case could be made that guardrails are a necessity for LLMs. The example in the article is medical diagnostics. Could you imagine if it started hallucinating and someone

Favourite time of the year! I am, however, continually surprised that SLY doesn’t have more mindshare. Similarly jonathan. I guess cl-json and SLIME are _good enough_ for most people. …or maybe I need to revisit them?

There are some pretty impressive benchmarks on https://ai.google.dev/gemma . Even the 2b model looks fairly not awful? I guess my weekend is going to be spent exploring this.

Children in the UK are born without parents, so it's a valid point by OP.

We've been experimenting with LLMs to create price predictions and stock analysis for day trading, and I really haven't been impressed with Bard at all. People in the comments are comparing it to gpt-3.5 and, for our use at least,

The old joke about lisp ruining all other languages holds true (at least in my experience), so it's a monkeys paw wish of yes, you get to work with lisp but you'll never be able to enjoy another job again.

Yeah, we use CCL for local development and SBCL for running code on servers. I hear that the development story is better with CCL due to improved error messages but I'm not sure how much I agree with that, however we continue the pract

Guix is in a really good place right now and I'd have no reservations recommending it. Of course, there is the initial onboarding experience which can be tough if it's a completely new concept but overcoming that is 100% worth it

We don't really overcomplicate it. A merge into development will pull the code onto the development server and then either restart lisp or recompile (depends on the application), and the same thing will happen when merged to prod. We&#

`cloc` has it at 24k lines of code so it's by no means a huge project but it's big enough where I feel like we would have encountered a large variety of issues. As of yet there hasn't been anything major. We have felt the lac

Memes are information, that's all. Just a way of imparting information in an easily digestible manner. You are really deep into this belief and it's pretty surreal. It's easy to rug pull a cryptocoin that you created. It is n

The thing is, the GME situation is still developing. The new thing is that they're buying and directly registering their shares (DRS). This prevents brokers from lending shares out. As a result of this, they own almost 25% of the compa
