  • I don’t see the connection between your ant/boy example and the series of wars and conflicts between Israel and the surrounding nations and organisations (Egypt, Palestine, Hamas, Lebanon, hesbollah, Iran, Jordan) let’s say since 1948. Would you elaborate on that?

    I’m not very deep in the conflict, so please correct me. To me it looks like Israel is surrounded by states and organizations whose aim is to get rid of Israel because they are not Arab - hence Israel’s strong and expensive military. Israel on the other side is rigid on the status of the occupied palestinian territories and threatens to destroy everybody who dares to attack them. And they did that after the attacks in 2023, including all the war crimes they committed.

    No party did nearly enough to defuse the situation before 2023. And the result is another round of human suffering and more hate and anger. That’s why I said: everyone is the asshole here.





  • Meh. Musk isn’t needed for people to vote for the fear mongers. (Also Hasselhoff had no hands in the fall of the berlin wall. Sorry :)

    That’s a self made social problem (i.e. falling trust in the often untrustworthy politicians - i’m looking at you cum-ex-olaf or at you sabotaging-every-effort-Lindner). And an educational problem (eh, a well funded education system in country without substantial natural resources, who needs that anyways? Political education? Pfff, who cares.)

    People have fears, opportunists use fears to gain power. I think.

    An LLM cannot think like you and I. it’s not able to solve entirely new problems. And it doesn’t have a concept of the world - it paints hands without knowing what a hand does.

    It is a system which learns the rules of something by means of reinforcement learning to tune the coefficients of its heap of linear equations. It is better than a human in its area. I guess it can be good for tedious, repetitive tasks. Nevertheless it is just a huge coefficient matrix.

    But it can only reproduce what is in the training data - you need lots of already solved examples in the training data. It doesn’t work for entirely new problems.

    (that’s also the reason, why LLMs don’t give good answers to questions about specialized niche topics. When there are just one or two studies, there just isn’t enough training data for the LLM.)




  • Main: primary provider. Use the volume tariff as a backup when the primary provider isn’t usable.

    It’s about access to NNTP servers (Usenet). The thing that was used before forums, reddit, Lemmy. But not like irc, matrix or telegram. You can write text messages and reply to them. And you can attach binary data like archives, pictures or videos (bulk data) to your messages - this is the interesting part here.

    To access the server you need a NNTP capable client. I.e. thunderbird - which is not especially suitable for down- or uploading binary data.

    For binary downloads you could look into the arr suite (Google it and you will find wikis and related discussion groups). Nzbget, sabnzbd… I don’t know any details, until now I was to lazy to dive into that timesink.






  • Sadly there is no if. To me it looks like the EU and US want to make the war as expensive as possible for Russia. Their aim is not to strengthen Ukraine to the point where they can win. (I don’t know if out of fear from russia’s nuclear weapons or if there simply isn’t enough political support for more help.)

    Ukraine losing, is also exactly the story which Russia wants the world to see and believe in. Hence their inhumane warfare.

    That must be hard for the people in Ukraine. I wouldn’t be very grateful for this kind of support if I were in their position. Rn it just prolongs the war.
