  • Oh, that's really cool. I hope there's more linkage between the twitter-like and reddit-like islands of the fediverse in the future; I'm somewhat interested in reading the former but it seems to be complicated to actually get federation with it.

  • In the US, you mean? From the top of my mind, advocating for more market freedom - unrestricted capitalism is a mixed bag generally, but the Biden administration was price-fixing insurance in the wake of California fires, which is a degree of economical illiteracy approaching Soviet Union levels.

  • Sure, in Firefox itself it wasn't a severe vulnerability. It's way worse on standalone PDF readers, though:

    In applications that embed PDF.js, the impact is potentially even worse. If no mitigations are in place (see below), this essentially gives an attacker an XSS primitive on the domain which includes the PDF viewer. Depending on the application this can lead to data leaks, malicious actions being performed in the name of a victim, or even a full account take-over. On Electron apps that do not properly sandbox JavaScript code, this vulnerability even leads to native code execution (!). We found this to be the case for at least one popular Electron app.

  • Do you think AI "things" like Midjourney or ChatGPT will have or are already having some kind of "piracy" around them?

  • There’s no real need for pirate ai when better free alternatives exist.

    There's plenty of open-source models, but they very much aren't better, I'm afraid to say. Even if you have a powerful workstation GPU and can afford to run the serious 70B opensource models at low quantization, you'll still get results significantly worse than the cutting-edge cloud models. Both because the most advanced models are proprietary, and because they are big and would require hundreds of gigabytes of VRAM to run, which you can trivially rent from a cloud service but can't easily get in your own PC.

    The same goes for image generation - compare results from proprietary services like midjourney to the ones you can get with local models like SD3.5. I've seen some clever hacks in image generation workflows - for example, using image segmentation to detect a generated image's face and hands and then a secondary model to do a second pass over these regions to make sure they are fine. But AFAIK, these are hacks that modern proprietary models don't need, because they have gotten over those problems and just do faces and hands correctly the first time.

    This isn't to say that running transformers locally is always a bad idea; you can get great results this way - but people saying it's better than the nonfree ones is mostly cope.

  • I haven't, actually, since I normally use an adblocker (and also don't use that tracker). Looks like they're all VPN advertisements right now, which is at least a somewhat non-mainstream ad segment.

  • There is no world issue that can be solved by just throwing money at it. Those issues have had MUCH more money thrown at them than all of the net worth of all billionaires on Earth combined, without being solved.

    That seems obviously false, unless you're proposing that all the charities in the world are scams and don't actually do anything. I guess you could argue that as you throw money into saving lives, the low-hanging fruits get picked and the cost rises, so you can never saturate all the charities - but this is a very weak argument, since saving 99.99% of all the people in the world from hunger or poverty would be about as good as 100%. Just because there's diminishing returns doesn't mean it's a doomed cause.

  • I think you have exactly the opposite impression of wealth than how it is in reality, then. Billionaires typically have only a tiny amount of their wealth in liquid funds (what you call "holding" money) - most of their wealth is in investments, and hence "in the economy". So the thing you're proposing already holds.

  • Even in the detailed info? If so that's weird; probably something along the lines of "the seller messed up the weight, fixed it, but for some insane reason the site doesn't recalculate the price".

  • Accounts are already mostly portable (you can easily export all your settings and import into your new account), you just don't retain posting history.

    To retain that... I guess there could be a separate fediverse service that does nothing but allow registering accounts that let you prove that other fediverse accounts all belong to the same person, and then a PR can be made to Lemmy and the other platforms to honor these links when showing posting history. It'd be quite a messy system.

  • The answer is obvious: we must forever be completely advertiser-unfriendly and absolutely unmarketable. With every piece of porn, every post on digital piracy, every swearword, we do our part to protect the fediverse's independence.

  • All money is "entirely fake". The only difference is how big the value fluctuations are and to what degree you can exchange it for other currency. Crypto has a big problem with the former and minor problems with the latter, but generally speaking it's not much less real than, say, the US dollar.

  • The thing I said I did? Yes; here's the processed image:

    If you mean the math in the post, I can't read it in this picture but it's probably just some boring body-of-rotation-related integrals, so basically the same thing as I did but breaking apart the vase's visible shape into analytically simple parts, whereas I got the shape from the image directly.
