182·10 hours agoYet another USAian here. I’m doing my part to stand with my EU allies!
You do realize that to maintain the natural balance there need to be billions of bacteriagirls for every beaver girl
18·10 hours agoI work at an IT company that handles VAERS info.
Fun fact that I wish had been more widely broadcast during the Pandemic:
We were 100% sure the Moderna mRNA COVID vax was safe for pregnant women the very first day it was approved for general use.
How?
During the initial “first responders only” phase, when only EMTs, doctors, and nurses were getting vaccinated, there were several thousand women who had recently become pregnant but were not yet aware of it. Once they learned of their status, of course they were tracked much more closely.
So we had a “natural experiment” at a scale far larger than most stage-3 human trials, of how the vaccine affects pregnant women and their babies.
Executive summary: it prevents the mom and the baby from getting super sick, from having complications, and from death.
IOW, while RFK is blocking pregnant mothers from getting mRNA vaccines due to health concerns and demanding studies, THE STUDIES HAVE ALREADY BEEN DONE
Ditto. But I am taking my time. I am on the free tier; I cost him money. I’ll move off eventually probably to Tutanota unless something better shows up

I am never eating Microwave popcorn again, jfc why does that not have cigarette level warnings?

Yes, chemical industries need significantly more regulation from regulators with significantly expanded authority. BECAUSE OF SH-T LIKE THIS. Holy fuck Trump is going in the other direction ofc save the Earth 8647

bash is also well supported in Windows via WSL
We have already done that. It’s called Dreddit and not even major governments can stop it.
Agreed.
Really, if someone wants to use an LLM, the right place to run it is in a sandbox locally on your own computer
Anything else is just a stupid architecture. You don’t run your Second Brain on Someone Else’s Computer
It’s like the Internet in 1998
Pets.com hasn’t gone but yet, but it will.
The bubble will burst. BUT … the entire world will run on this new technology, nobody will imagine living without it, and multibillion dollar companies will profit and be created from it
Yes, several are fully open source. I like Mistral
what do you think an LLM is? once you’ve opened the weights, IMO it’s pretty open. Once they open the training data, that’s pretty damn open. What do you want a gitian reproducible build?
1·3 days agoDo you use IDCS? If not, why not? Have you taken care of automating encryption and backup to cloud? There’s a new open source shared media server, are you interested in configuring, securing, and testing it?
It’s mostly set and forget, Earth is mostly harmless, etc

If we’re talking ChemLawn, I’ll agree with you. But mulch mowing the yard is IMO categorically better than paving (or ChemLawning)
Some people like being unpaid OnlyFans models whose intimate details go to corporations instead of pervy guys
