Don't give up yet.

Lemmy is good, but not enough people on there for network effect to kick in yet.

I think once the enshittification gets too bad for even the average person, people will look for alternatives, and old style forums will return.

Although with all the ID verification, those forums might end up on Tor or something.

I'm not new to command line tools, but I somehow managed to delete ~10k pictures while trying to use parallel to resize them.

I forget the details but it was some kind of surprisingly weird foot-gun behavior.

Luckily I had a backup, but it really has made me scared to try using parallel again.

What's odd to me is that companies don't seem to be targeting the niche anymore?

When there's no cheap but ok product, common sense would dictate that somebody would try to fill that niche.

Is everything a monopoly now?

Australian public transport is pretty good in my experience. I certainly don't expect to be stabbed or sit in piss.

You might be doing the same thing, if you think that your medical professional father would have any understanding of how an LLM works, an area in which he has no expertise.

To him, and most other people who don't know anything about the tech and how it works, it's probably just a magic intelligent box that can answer many things that he can't.

The marketing says it's this close to AGI and taking all our jobs, so that must be true!

Unpunished is an odd choice of words.

Why shouldn't "the West", actually many separate autonomous countries, be able to sell to whoever they want?

Literally nobody is interested in invading Russia. Nobody wants any part of that shitshow.

Russia needs to start worrying about their own internal problems, which are both significant and numerous.

It's fairly trivial, but still significantly harder than computing a single CRC.

From stackoverflow:

Because a 32-bit CRC yields only 2³² (approx. 4.29 billion) possible outputs, the Birthday Paradox dictates a 50% chance of an accidental collision after processing just ~77,000 unique inputs.

I've done it for shits and giggles and from memory it took my desktop PC maybe 10 minutes to generate a collision.

You're missing the point though.

Noise is not the only thing they should be protecting against.

The point is that AMD is executing code based on checking using an algorithm that has barely any protection from malicious inputs, which is stupid, and not fixing it just compounds that stupidity.

A cryptographic signature protects against both noise and malicious inputs.

OP used the wrong "lose" in two separate comments in the same discussion. That's why no, I don't think the 13 years was enough time. But there's no shame in that, nobody knows everything.

I'm not aware of how long anyone has been on HN, bar a very small number of users. Who can be bothered to check histories for everyone you comment to?

Fair point about not being able to edit.

If you're realy that upsit

Thank you for using the correct "you're". :)
