  • Thank you… thank you very much, from the depth of my heart…

    Of course… every single iteration, by design, depends on the previous output, as the general feedback you’d see in bitwise encoder cascades, where no one will ever know what will produce the next iteration, due to it being based solely on probability backed by undisclosed/unknown initial data source, and sometimes undisclosed algorithm.

    Not only that, but the huge probability of mistakes is just deafening. The last time I used LLM was in 2023 someone recommended for a task at paper work, and I got a literal headache in 10 minutes… Since then I never ever will use that sorrow for anything that is not for blackbox pentesting or experimental unverified data generated you may find in medicine or military isolated solutions.

    That deafening feel that every single bit of output from that LLM or void machine may contain a mistake no soul is accountable for to ask about… A generated bit of someone’s work you just cannot verify since no source nor human is available… How would you trace the rationale that resulted in the output shown?

    Faster? Is that so… Doesn’t verification of every output require even more time to test it and consider stable, to prove it is correct, to stay accountable for the knowledge and actions you perform as a developer, artist, researcher… human?

    Your mind is to be trained to do a research, remember, and do not depend on someone’s service to a level of predominance/replacement. Meanwhile, effort, passion, creativity, empathy, and love, in turn, you carry, supports in long-term.

    You may not care now, though, but you do you. It’s your mind and memory you develop.

    Thank you, dear pkjqpg1h@lemmy.zip , for being accountable, wise, and for believing in accountability and purpose for discovery and art of human experience.

    I never got a response from Reddit regarding my account unknown state, too - https://www.reddit.com/user/serious_angel
    I’d been using that account for years, and I can use it, and I do now. I do comment, vote, save bookmarks etc.

    Meanwhile, the account is marked as “banned”, if I am not mistaken, yet I never ever did anything to get banned in the first place I believe. I awarded other comments with money, purchased “NFT” avatars, so I contributed monetarily to the platform, too. It just, all of a sudden, got “banned”, and for literally unknown reason.

    I realized that after years only, too! People don’t even see my comments, and I had been commenting for at least a year before even realizing no one sees them! I accidentally noticed that when tried surfing to my account via “incognito mode”, and since then I’ve been trying to figure out what is wrong - yet no response from the official Reddit support, after multiple attempts writing them…

    -–

    Yet, it is the first time I used the aforementioned form, and I hope to receive response eventually!

    I tried submitting the appeal form 4 times now. No response still…
    I do regret my life time I thrown into the literal void on Reddit… where no one cares, and no one ever knows about it…


    I did not know that no one even sees my responses, yet I had been waiting for them...


  • Thank you… Of course they were… as always…

    For another example, how much invaluable precious life time an unknown artist, behind the scenes, invested into the following vase model, texture, its location to set, just a single vase, I also captured in photo-mode of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey?
    What about the so casual rock and its texture right under it? What about the algorithm used for Depth of Field effect to program? The fire, colors, shadows logic and vertex shaders? And how many vases are in the title…
    Yet still, you see “garbage”, “does not worth $1”, “Ubisoft sucks”, “Assassin’s Creed sucks” and so on…

    It’s so… indescribably sorrowful… and almost heartbreaking… I literally avoid news and communities because of this disgraceful attitude I will never understand nor realize…

    Meanwhile, just a few consider how much time, love, effort actually human art requires… to just… appreciate, admire, attribute, remember, and learn from… As in every single title out there where actual artists do the work, the ineffably magnificent miracles…

  • - But most students, in my experience, claim less severe ailments, such as ADHD or anxiety. And some “disabilities” are just downright silly. Students claim “night terrors”; others say they “get easily distracted” or they “can’t live with others”. I know a guy who was granted a single room because he needs to wear contacts at night. I’ve heard of a girl who got a single because she was gluten intolerant…

    - At Stanford, almost no one talks about the system with shame. Rather, we openly discuss, strategise and even joke about it. At a university of savvy optimisers, the feeling is that if you aren’t getting accommodations, you haven’t tried hard enough.

    I do not consider this fair, or adequate, regardless, of course. If you are healthy, you must be proud of it. It’s pure disgrace, regardless.

    Yes, these people may exploit the system, and probably are proud of it, but this all subconsciously affects self-confidence deeply, morally/psychologically, and it sure comes out soon or late from the mind and heart, from soul, especially if they started at age of tuitions, I believe.

    And here, for around 40 years living, working in military and education, I haven’t met anyone yet who would actually recover their inner stance enough to not become a fearful and self-disclosed individual, since the ethics border gets shift and blur gradually and permanently. These never find peace throughout their life, and trust no one, including themselves, which is indescribably sorrowful…



  • Holy smokes! Thank you very much for mentioning it, dear @slazer2au@lemmy.world ! Since, I try not installing addons that are not published open-sourced, but this one is! ✨

    This add-on is built and maintained by workers at Aarhus University in Denmark. We are privacy researchers that got tired of seeing how companies violate the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Because the organisations that enforce the GDPR do not have enough resources, we built this add-on to help them out.

    We looked at 680 pop-ups and combined their data processing purposes into 5 categories that you can toggle on or off. Sometimes our categories don’t perfectly match those on the website, so then we will choose the more privacy preserving option.

    The first version of this add-on works with 4 popular pop-ups: Cookiebot, OneTrust, QuantCast, and TrustArc. The add-on is open source, so anyone can add additional pop-ups through our template system: https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic.

  • Of course, thank you, and I do realize that, but:

    1. I tried selecting sections that where not associated with othe vendors - same result;

    2. Shouldn’t it still be allowed to store cookies for the same vendor/domain, without any consent, by default.

    3. There are other means/API than cookies to store consent state in common browsers, including: LocalStorage, IndexedDB, SessionStorage, CacheStorage etc.





  • Wonderful day! 🪐

    Ha-ha! Of course, it’s okay to add emojis (or even emotes (/ o.o)/) to an accountable CV for responsible job to get trusted for! 😂
    Especially those for security 🔒, privacy 🕵️‍♀️, transparency 👁‍🗨…

    If I would look at such CV in search 🧭 for a trusted developer 👩‍💻, sys-admin 💻, manager 📜, accountant 💸, and for military forces ( -.-)7, sure thing the pretty pictures would increase the feel of trust to the level of the outer space and beyond!!!1 💪

    Oh! And why just LinkedIn? Perhaps to enhance the sense of accountability, some would want to add emojis to some documents, including employment contracts, Banking issues, weaponry certificates, and passports! Let’s make it shine in sparkles! ✨

    Look! LOL! OMG! This is the colleague on fields we need! They have these lovely emojis! Let’s hire them right now!
    Since, “There’s no crying in Special Forces!”




  • What a nonsense, sorry…

    Human is human already, regardless how they speak and what they do…
    There’s always true sympathy and empathy to find in a human, regardless how busy, dark, erroneous etc. they are…
    Yet, it’s the true alive soul inside in every person…

    Medics are likely tired, doing their job every single day, yet they have empathy, and will always try to listen if you actually try…
    They know what PAIN, AGONY, DEATH, SORROW… fear means…

    LLM/“AI” will always pretend to be a human, since it’s “trained”/designed, to be so, and will always be limited and incomplete…
    Not to mention the initial dataset of numerous emphatic actual human has its limited memory inside, no one is responsible for.

    What a hopeless sorrow is that awful trendy, advertised, mind-atrophying mess…



  • But… why… Why rewrite/redo what already works, is marvelous, and is overly customizable, safe, and convenient…
    Why not do something more important and valuable? Is that to just burn funding into void?

    Since this “AI” events on Firefox, I reconsidered my stance for Firefox 4th time now, and installed another browser.
    Likely as you, I did also donate montery, and 2 people I know did, too. I also donated to Thunderbird.

    Why disturb, devalue, obliterate the history of all the contributors, too… This is… just freaking incredibly sorrowful… like someone tries to annihilate it… to darken, damage a miracle…


  • To be frank, I don’t know any case when Valve forced these rules, and even when someone reported such cases to Steam support directly. The response was just - “Thank you. We will check it out.”, and that’s it.

    Self-published developers I am aware of have been considering these “rules” as fair suggestion from Valve who point out that it’s important to Valve stay afloat in competition, where many developers will just follow these getting the point, which is straightforward.

    A few developers I know do find following this “rule” a respect towards the platform in general even.
