IRC exposed users ips, so not only did they not understand their low orbit ion cannon firing at localhost was self inflicted, but they didn’t actually need to ask for your ip at all.

2·2 months agoA lot of top researchers have already moved on from transformers.
Yann LeCun, Meta’s longtime chief AI scientist, quit and said LLMs are a “dead end” because scaling text-only models can’t produce real intelligence, and he’s not the only one who thinks so. Lots of engineers understand the limitations of LLMs.

1·2 months agoMaybe but most consumers, but I’m not. I don’t have a smart toaster or fridge or even tv (I bought a dumb panel, it was cheaper). I honestly hate all of that so called smart bs. “Smart” tvs take longer to turn on than my dumb panel. And cost more. For features I literally don’t want.
But yeah, to each their own!

172·2 months agoDatacenters aren’t helping, but they’re like 3-4% of emissions. It’s still manufacturing plastic crap and shipping across the ocean with bunker fuel burn causing 60% of it.
But yeah, increased energy usage isn’t helping.

2·2 months agoFingerprinting still does a lot. If you want to do hard, use a VPN inside a VM. Even harder? Use multiple different VMs and a VPS with a VPN.

2·3 months agoSame boat. W10 LTS until I’m finished wrapping up some loose ends.
Then I’ll do a VM with GPU passthrough on an old Windows for non critical things.
I never loved or trusted Microsoft, but this (not just the uninvited transformers, all of it) is beyond unacceptable to me.
