  • Also just checked and every open ai model bigger than 4.1-mini can answer this. I think the joke should emphasize how we developed a super power inefficient way to solve some problems that can be accurately and efficiently answered with a single algorithm. Another example is using ChatGPT to do simple calculator math. LLMs are good at specific tasks and really bad at others, but people kinda throw everything at them.





  • Sorry this might be obvious, but even if an instance disappeared with all its communities, wouldn’t those communities and their content still exist as copies to other federated instances? My understanding is federation means I’m going to copy all of your content to my instance. So I’m assuming that means even if your instance stops existing, all those copies on my instance still exist. Or am I missing something?












  • I looked at Infuse, but as soon as I saw it was a subscription I decided no. They have a lifetime option but I don’t trust those anymore. If it’s good software with a one time fee of $40 or less, I’m there, but anything $10/month or $100 lifetime is a dealbreaker for me.

    Edit: I totally misread the price. It’s a way more reasonable $12.99/year not what I said above


  • Yeah. I love open source, but people kinda assume you have unlimited time to sink until this stuff. Apple has done a great job selling an intuitive experience that I need for the non technical people in my household. That being said, I don’t understand why AirPlay doesn’t just fucking work. Siri is also garbage.

    And if I have to listen to one more person try and explain to me why I have the wrong router, mdns, multicast, IPv6 settings, etc, I’m gonna lose it. One person is like, “buy Uniquiti, that plays nice with Apple Home and never use your ISP router”. The next person is like “you idiot, why would you think Ubiquiti + Apple would ever work stick with your IPS router”. Even if they’re right, it’s a failure of Apple to design a system that requires an IT person to setup.

    Thank you for listening to my rant.


  • Really it comes down to I distrust Google more than Apple. But I recognize there are a lot of issues with Apple, and I get the cognitive dissonance on my part combining open source with Apple. But I’m happy Apple has Android as competition.

    …I also may have purchased HomePods and I do use the Apple TV + HomePod audio setup. Not messily the best value but it’s decent audio with minimal clutter/wires. I’m pretty happy with the Apple TV experience so far, but if Apple starts enshitifying (especially if they ever plaster their devices with ads the way Roku has) I’m gone immediately.
