The Octonaut

I’m always confused when people are surprised by something like an account sync meaning that the operators have to store your data

Makes me wonder if they understand how Lemmy works…

Why should the EU provide protection to Taiwan? If it’s just to have a tech manufacturing industry on a small island precariously adjacent to an imperialist police state with authoritarian tendencies, Ireland’s happy to help.

Look, I get it, but people are allowed to have complex relationships with their language and history. I don’t know the specifics of this guy and I’m not exactly defending him (or his complaints, which seem petty), but nobody owes anything to a language because if their blood.

I’m Irish, and the oppression and near-loss of our language is a real pity, but I can’t deny either that we have have 150 years of real, actual Irish people speaking, writing, creating, singing, dreaming in English. Yeats, Joyce, Beckett, O’Brien, Heaney, Lynott, Sinead O’Connor, Samantha Mumba… they’re not less Irish for having created or performed in English.

It can be hard for Irish, native-English speaking people (i.e. to a statistical approxination, literally everyone) to understand the amount of effort and resources that are poured into funding Irish-language art that the majority of our modern nation cannot read or understand, in a language that they associate mostly with an abusive and failing school system and patriotic guilt, while English-language art in general struggles with the odd and cold assumption from our society that the ready market for English-language Irish art and culture abroad will pay for anything with actual reach. If you have a weird niche idea, you’d better make it even more niche by sticking a cúpla focail in it - now a tiny fraction can enjoy it, but at least you get paid.

The same applies every time I am frustrated with the state of our healthcare system in a waiting room and pass a tall stack of pointless support resources and documentation in the Irish language, the cost of which could have paid for at least one dose of medicine.

We have very little going for us resource-wise in Ireland, but by christ we can write in the global language at least, whether it be for job opportunities or art. If someone sticks a knife in me I shouldn’t be called a traitor for keeping the knife.

Though Meta and Google have withdrawn of their own accord, a spokesperson for Mardi Gras said the companies would not now meet the festival’s criteria for partners.

That’s not what happened.

the accepted terminology

No, it isn’t. The OSI specifically requires the training data be available or at very least that the source and fee for the data be given so that a user could get the same copy themselves. Because that’s the purpose of something being “open source”. Open source doesn’t just mean free to download and use.

https://opensource.org/ai/open-source-ai-definition

Data Information: Sufficiently detailed information about the data used to train the system so that a skilled person can build a substantially equivalent system. Data Information shall be made available under OSI-approved terms.

In particular, this must include: (1) the complete description of all data used for training, including (if used) of unshareable data, disclosing the provenance of the data, its scope and characteristics, how the data was obtained and selected, the labeling procedures, and data processing and filtering methodologies; (2) a listing of all publicly available training data and where to obtain it; and (3) a listing of all training data obtainable from third parties and where to obtain it, including for fee.

As per their paper, DeepSeek R1 required a very specific training data set because when they tried the same technique with less curated data, they got R"zero’ which basically ran fast and spat out a gibberish salad of English, Chinese and Python.

People are calling DeepSeek open source purely because they called themselves open source, but they seem to just be another free to download, black-box model. The best comparison is to Meta’s LlaMa, which weirdly nobody has decided is going to up-end the tech industry.

In reality “open source” is a terrible terminology for what is a very loose fit when basically trying to say that anyone could recreate or modify the model because they have the exact ‘recipe’.

How about if the idle animation is Gal Gadot in full IDF regalia singing “Imagine”?

The point is that no branch was ever called a slave branch, just as no audio copy was ever called a slave copy. One does not direct the other in the same way that master and slave implies. Usually quite the opposite.

Oh and master-slave usually refers to hardware infrastructure, not programming. Where, as you mentioned, client-service is the equivalent, or parent and child.

Master in branch meant the same as the master of an audio track or video. We haven’t all stopped saying “remaster” or “masterpiece”.

As it turns out, there are software developers from outside the country with people whose grandparents-grandparents were chattel slaves, and they name things without the same baggage. It’s Gulf of America stuff, but for the ‘good guys’.

Sorry, you’ve spent 75 years arming your own government to the point of making this impossible. In the name of “security”. Do you feel secure yet?

It reads like regurgitating dehydrated phlegm

Edit:

Anyone want to state their opinion?

Germans: “Das is der inkorrect opinion Herr Irlandisch”

Donation by definition doesn’t exchange value?

Not every country has ungodly reserves of fossil fuels providing essentially free money. “Richer” is a bit silly - by raw GDP per capita, Norway has been one of if not the richest country in the world since the establishment of State Oil. Combined with not being a dirt poor monarchy ready to sell its resource extraction rights to Britain/America when the resources were found, Norway is nearly unique.

Absolutely it is better than not subsidising EV cars. No doubt. My issue is with the original comment painting this as something “barely any effort” implying that any country could do this. This was a unique situation and I’m glad that Norwegians chose to make themselves feel better about being an educated western petrostate bane on the planet by buying themselves EVs instead of feeding it to a king, ceo, sultan or emir.

Care to point out what hate and misinformation is relevant to this? If other countries didn’t buy their oil, they could not have achieved this. Norway is a small petrostate with a side gig in poaching EU fish. No amount of Irish salmon would have covered the cost of this. If you don’t understand that a country smaller by population than the city of Barcelona exporting the fourth largest amount of natural gas in the world taints this achievement to some degree, you are entitled to your opinion, but it’s not misinformation.

Yes, sorry, I hadn’t thought of apartments. In my defense where I live, having an apartment and having a car rarely overlap, people use public transport.

You don’t need to install an EV outlet to charge at home. EV outlets are convenient but they are just dumb cables. All the interesting technology for charging is in the car itself. You can get plug-in-adapters for charging a car that go into an ordinary socket and they work just as well as the wall mounted direct type.

Am I missing something? While dedicated, wall-mount-style chargers are convenient, car “chargers” are literally just a power adapter. The ones that plug into a socket (outlet?) are functionally the same. They just supply electricity, all the interestingly technology is in the car itself.

Someone mentioned renting apartments which is fair enough, I live in a country where of you’re in an apartment you use public transport so it didn’t factor.

Why are you telling me about America?

Who can’t charge at home? Who is getting an EV before electricity in their house?

To be absolutely clear, Norway has achieved this by selling oil to other countries. This wasn’t a heroic sacrifice or noble vanguard effort.

Didn’t tell on yourself until the second sentence this time, well done
