⌃⌘Q for those of us on MacBooks

I completely agree. Reread what I wrote with that in mind, keeping in mind the context of the comment I replied to.

If LLMs aren’t conscious, who is using them to churn out an endless spew of those bits and pieces with no further creative input?

Someone has to be doing it. I guess it could be these newfangled AI Agents I’ve been hearing about, but as far as at least I’m aware, they still require input and/or editing (depending on the medium) from a human.

They are likely referring to the training process of populating model weights based on prepared datasets via training algorithms.

Have you never used bits and pieces of what other people say or what you’ve read in books or riffs you’ve heard or styles seen/heard/read when communicating or creating?

Cheaper is one aspect. Less physical things to have to keep track of and manage is what I am really after. I want a singular device that is capable of all the things/modes that I want. I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for this, but what I see is a singular device capable of all sorts of things being eventually small enough to be embedded inside a body, essentially like cyborg. Like 100 years from now assuming society doesn’t collapse by then.

Why have one device or why desktop mode?

One device because it would reduce the burden on me of maintaining multiple devices, the security updates, passwords, etc.

Why desktop mode? Because when I try to do what I would call “serious work” (probably a bad name for it, but think something requiring extended periods of deep focus), the interface of smartphones is not conducive for it. Precision of a mouse is required, ability to type 100+ words per minute is required, so that necessitates mouse and keyboard. Then there’s the UX itself. Smartphones have tiny screens so they can’t have many menu items or controls in the apps that are used for “serious work”. That requires larger screen real estate, so necessitates an external monitor.

I don’t want to start rambling so I’ll just leave it at that.

I’ve been wanting a phone that can dock and be used as a full fledged desktop since smartphones first came out. Samsung Dex apparently comes close, but is too limited in terms of the desktop app side.

Thank you, kind stranger!

Can we apply some of both of those to narrow down to a few recommendations? 😁

If I remember correctly, Leta search proxy is the anonymized search proxy from Mullvad. Users connect and do internet searches, Leta will search various engines and cache the results, anonymized, for some time (days I think?) and any users who perform the same search will receive the cached results from the other users previous searches.

I could be wrong on some or all of that.

DNS over HTTPS (DoH), which is Domain Name Service over Secure HyperText Transfer Protocol. HTTP is the technology the Web runs on. The S in HTTPS is the secured version of HTTP, it’s encrypted using TLS (originally was SSL, Secure Sockets Layer), Transport Layer Security. DNS translates site names (e.g., www.google.com) into an IP (Internet Protocol) address (e.g., 8.8.8.8). DNS is an unencrypted protocol like HTTP. Adding in the Security component is somewhat tricky, but DoH is one of the ways, it just piggy backs on a tried and true secure transport technology that powers the web today.

The reason you would want to use DoH is to secure the domains you are accessing from (1) being intercepted and/or altered, e.g., someone poisoning the response and giving you a bad IP address for any number of reasons, and (2) snoops such as the WiFi provider you’re connected to or the Internet Service Provider (ISP) or cellular provider, or anyone else watching the unencrypted traffic.

Gotta start somewhere, and it won’t ever improve if we don’t start improving it. So many on Lemmy assume the tech will never be good enough so why even bother, but that’s why we do things, to make the world that much better… eventually. Why else would we plant literal trees? For those that come after us.

Are there any studies done (or benchmarks) that show accuracy on recommendations for treatments given a medical history and condition requiring treatment?

Bridging the gap is something sorely needed and LLMs are damn close to achieving.

I’m really not sure. I’ve heard of people using Ceph across datacenters. Presumably that’s with a fast-ish connection, and it’s like joining separate clusters, so you’d likely need local ceph cluster at each site then replicate between datacenters. Probably not what you’re looking for.

I’ve heard good things about Garbage S3 and that it’s usable across the internet on slow-ish connections. Combined with JuiceFS is what I was looking at using before I landed on Ceph.

I know Ceph would work for this use case, but it’s not a lighthearted choice, kind of an investment and a steep learning curve (at least it was for me).

I went and edited my hosts file and added all of my devices, but I only have a handful. Tailscale on macOS has a lot of bugs, this being one of many.

This is something that directly impacts Lemmy and all Fediverse. Section 230 makes the hosting provider not liable for things their users post as long as they remove offending material (I don’t know the specifics, IANAL). Eroding section 230 is like pulling the ladder up behind the behemoth providers like YouTube. New small time services will essentially be illegal.

Is that what killed the brainworm? Fuck
