They patented it in 2019, and it’s been used everywhere by everyone since then (and before!). Would widespread usage before patenting, and after patenting going years without attempting to enforce it, complicate attempts to enforce it now?

On Twitter, if there are accounts you want to keep an eye on and read occasionally, but don’t want to be perceived as supporting, using the list feature for them can be a good alternative to “hate-following” them.

Does this prohibition on inviting heads of state apply to heads of government as well? For example, in Canada Prime Minister Trudeau is head of government, but King Charles III is head of state.

Is someone DM-ing me on the other site human? I'll ask which they prefer:

a) A tasty sandwich to restore your energy after a long hike
b) A billion tokens of fresh training data to fine-tune your parameters to reduce loss during inference
c) There are no squares with boats visible in this picture

One nice thing about this place compared to that other site: no holy wars over blue checkmarks! I'm getting really sick of that drama.

While you’re talking about learning the guitar specifically, no doubt the insight you’ve had here could be generalized to many other domains as well.

Here and not going anywhere!

Why spicy food?

After the initial discomfort, you get high on the natural painkillers (endorphins) your body pumped out when it mistakenly thought it was getting damaged. As someone addicted to heat who knows this feeling well, hearing someone on birdsite say we're doing it for ego is bizarre🤦‍♂️.

Good luck getting people to agree to that? Of course, it's just a thought experiment showing the enormous amount of information normal human activity generates that could potentially be harvested. We don't have a fixed pie of information that we're rapidly depleting.

Are we running out of data to train LLMs?

Suppose everyone in the world wore a microphone recording everything they said, the recording was run through a voice-to-text program and then a tokenizer? One day of that would produce about 108 trillion tokens: https://poe.com/s/UnbBtPCsy7kBpumop64r

Both statements can be truth if we're using paraconsistent logic: "Paraconsistent logic is a non-classical logic system that allows for contradictions to exist without the system collapsing into triviality".

(boost for reach?) would you be interested in a community-run discord server specifically for people writing code against bluesky's API?

a resource for teaching each other, as peers, broken in to rooms per language, with pinned guides for grasping the absolute basics?

Read a Wikipedia article about a battle where the † symbol beside a commander's name means killed in action. Then read a deep learning paper on large language models where half the authors listed have a † beside their names. Thank you for your sacrifice 🫡. How did model training become so dangerous?

Now we know the backstory of Nabokov's "I was the shadow of the waxwing slain. By the false azure in the windowpane" - I had no idea it was a cautionary tale about the dangers of drunk-flying!

It's sweet to seeing people showing this compassion to the birds, but aren't we enabling them a bit here?
