I haven't paid attention to what changes between updates. What kind of features do they add?

Probably because they leave their PC running for days and keep putting them off until Windows literally forces you to restart

I mean, that's a legitimate way of using your computer. I'm sure you can see how that's incredibly annoying.

Gauze (or anything else in your mouth for that matter) makes you salivate. That mixed with a little bit of bleeding can look like a lot of blood. Or maybe she just drooled on herself and thought it looked bloodier than it actually was.

Autists at 2am, waiting for everyone else to go to sleep so we can start our day.

I don't know if it would be correct to say that the civilians have nothing to do with the war. As far as I'm aware, the IDF's intended target is all Palestinians, civilians included.

It may be worth editing your post to specify that you're talking about LLMs. There's no indication that this is your intent without reading your responses in the comment section.

Ethical meaning : "private", "anonymous, "not training with your data", "no censured", "open source"...

Private, anonymous, and uncensored. Those are easy. There's plenty of pre-trained LLMs out there that you can download and use however you like.

Not training with your data, not possible as far as I'm aware. LLMs rely on the availability of a huge quantity and diversity of data. There isn't enough of that available that also come with consent of the creator for this usage.

Open source isn't well defined for machine learning models. Lots of models have their code and weights available, so if that qualifies for you, that's also easy to find. Huggingface hosts most of them.

TIL film photography isn't vegan

We can have static HTML websites, but that basically limits you to sharing static information (which, by the way, still have "bugs" in the form of typos). There's already lots of great resources for that. Wikipedia, personal blogs, books (physical and electronic). That's not usually what we're on the internet for though. We're here for interactivity. We want to connect with other people (e.g. Lemmy), and we want tools to help us with various problems we have (e.g. any portable software that just needs a browser to run). Avoiding JS would hinder that goal. If you just want to read, go to your local library, take out a book, and start reading. Or get an e-reader and download some e-books.

You also point out the problem of online privacy. While JS does empower the tracking, it also does way more than that. The solution shouldn't be to throw out the baby with the bath water.

I don't think its ever been implemented, so probably not. You wouldn't want to trust everyone the same way independent of their distance in the trust network. It would definitely be easy to exploit if you did with just a single bad actor and one gullible person. It might even be valuable to assign different weights to each of your direct trust connections.

Web of Trust in this context would be if you mark people you personally know as trusted because you know they're real people, and they also mark people they know, and so on. If a stranger is trusted by someone your trust, then you also indirectly trust them. This indirect trust can occur over two links as described or more. With enough people vouching for each other, you can eventually get a web that covers the whole country.

You're putting a lot more trust into CDs than I ever would.

Who said anything about understanding the text?

One thing that would be nice is if we can know that we're actually talking to people from the same country as us and that the different accounts represent different people. But I think something like a web of trust is preferable for that purpose.

unlike with legal download sites where if it's delisted, it's completely gone even for downloads you already bought

I don't understand the difference. Can't you just download it when you buy it? They can't take away files on your device.

The key phrase being "every single product". Of course, I'd do my research where possible, but if I'm out grocery shopping and I need onions, I'm not going to stand there looking up the differences between the different brands or put off buying it so that I can look it up at home. And if I did, what do I even look up? Who shares reviews of onions?

Self-sufficiency isn't possible anymore in this world. We still need to buy things to survive, and that includes us autistic folks. There's no time to research every single product, and oftentimes, there isn't even anything you can research. So how else do you choose? I heard this brand name once before. Was it in a positive or negative context? I don't remember. But I've heard of it. Although now that I think about it, I do tend to like trying brands that I've never heard of when it comes to food.

On this particular issue, yes. But I think they're talking about other things that the Democratic party supports but that are bad for their constituents.

During winter if you want it extra spicy

Cool plot. But for someone who doesn't know much about economics, what is this supposed to tell me?

Completed in the sense of reaching the shattered planet? I still haven't. The fun for me is in designing blueprints, so I like to start from the beginning fairly often so that I can iterate on them. Each playthrough reveals problems that I didn't consider in the previous ones.
