posted on thehardtimes.net, i guess the writers don’t have a need for that startup at least

some languages are however made to be anti-human, looking at you brainfuck and whitespace

i mean hey, that’s way more feasible so good job

i said it can give factually correct answers, not sure why you went on a rant there.

the model itself isn’t censoring much at all, it’s the specific host that’s doing the censorship here.

saying “this AI” doesn’t even really make sense at all

that’s not an example of the model having censorship though, that’s censorship ontop of the model, the website is just seeing keywords and overriding the model’s output.

If you actually run deepseek locally (deepseek-r1 specifically in my case) it just has a moderate tendency to lie by omission.
When asked “what do people mean when they say ‘tiananmen square’” it gives a very candid answer that explicitly calls it “one of china’s bloodiest crackdowns on peaceful protests”.

also the actual model itself (at least some versions of it) aren’t even that china-biased, deepseek-r1 run locally can give perfectly factually accurate answers that make the chinese government look bad.

What are you on about? running deepseek-r1 locally in ollama answers “censored” topics just fine, it just answers stuff like a chinese diplomat questioned on live tv

My money is on IPFS, because it’s so simple (like, in principle, obviously it’s complex under the hood). It’s not fancy, it’s basically a better version of torrent and only handles static data, but it does that really fucking well.
It takes any data you add to your node, splits it into small blocks, does a fancy hash of those blocks, and then builds a tree of pointers that point to pointers that point to the constituent blocks. This means that any identical blocks have the same address, and thus only need to be sent once! And the same goes for anything that ends up being identical in structure, it has the same address and only needs sending once, and if for example two people rip a copy of the same obscure DVD and host it on a node, they will both provide the data to downloaders despite never having interacted with each other at all!

This is of course massively boner-inducing for anyone who cares about archiving stuff.

In effect it does the same thing that HTTP or FTP or whatever does, but in a modern and fundamentally decentralized way. You don’t care where the data comes from, you just request the ID from whatever nodes you can see, if they don’t have it they forward the request to those they can see etc etc, if anyone has it they reply to you and start sending the data, and then you do some fancy math to verify that it’s correct.

i think one thing to keep in mind with BIFL is that it’s gonna be painfully expensive, and we tend to have a skewed perspective since a lot of what people buy these days is second hand and thus nowhere near the original sale value.

Like has been said for new BIFL stuff you want to look for business/industrial stuff, or handmade things from passionate people, which is not cheap.

I think it’s pretty unrealistic to expect most of your things to be BIFL unless you can get second hand/inherited things, i’d say think about what things are most important to you and try to invest your money into those few things and find ways to make everything else as minimal and sustainable (and cheap) as possible.
For example people in the medieval era and before generally just wore simple leather turnshoes in the warm seasons, which were fully expected to wear out and they’d need to slap together a new pair every now and then. But that’s fine because literally all you need to make them is some crummy leather scraps!

“this list is incomplete, you can help wikipedia by expanding it”

practical minimalism, adopting it as a life philosophy has made things way easier.

Basically everything from https://www.protocol.ai/work, bar the blockchain stuff which i can only assume they’re doing to milk investors to fund the actually good projects.

libp2p abstracts away networking so you can simply point to a peer ID and the computer figures out how to connect to it (though you can of course specify how to connect if you wish), and it preserves connections across different networks among other stuff.

IPFS is basically just torrent but better in every way, foremost in that you can just slap some data onto an IPFS node and if anyone else happens to be serving the same data then you’ll both automatically be valid providers, despite never having talked to each other in any way. No more needing to search out a magnet link, just seed whatever data you want and anyone requesting the data from the network will automatically find you.

it’s called a union

what do you mean by month picker? Like, you want a dialog specifically for picking a month and nothing else?

because there’s a perfectly fine date picker, including month selection

why does the text in the embed talk about generative ai?
