I just wish we’d get solid, affordable RISC-V already. Especially with the arbitrary-length vector instruction extension, which I find to be a much better design for hardware compatibility than the fixed width extensions in x86 (and ARM too, AFAIK).
Go fash get financially smashed
That train looks seriously awesome :p
The catholic church still considers being trans a sin (and hence inferior to being cis).
I wish people would stop whitewashing that organisation, even if this is a tiny amount of progress (no shade on the op, just a general comment on the way conversations around organised religion and the catholic church in general seem to be happening >.<)
Life Pro Tip
ITT: people advocating eugenics on themselves. I hate it. I hate seeing it. And stuff like this is psychologically destructive to read for me.
If people here don’t like others with similar traits to them advocating that their life and perspective is not valuable and that they should hate it and wish no-one new experience it, I recommend avoiding this thread - even moreso if you have suicidal tendencies. It was very upsetting for me ;-;, even though I personally have no intent to have kids.
I’m not sure they’ll succeed in extinguishing linux. But I do get the worry, especially with WSL.
What I am more worried about is them potentially extinguishing git via their control of github. In particular, with their github cli tool and such >.<
I’ve always thought of “blob” in yerms of ot being opaque and hard to understand, like a blob of putty with little structure you can dig into to get at it, you just have to take it as one solid barely understandable mass to use it.
Never thought of it as Binary Large OBject ;p
We shouldn’t get bullied into believing people can be any sex they want to be. They can’t
They can’t
Sounds like a challenge for transhumanist tech to solve 😎✊⚧️Ⓐ💻.
(Other people have covered the factual incorrectness here - the short of it is that (1) gender =/= sex and (2) “sex” isnt some monolithic thing but a complex, multi-axis thing itself - most of these axes are changeable to various degrees as well .)
It’s frustrating, because I have pronouns after my name and I dislike hexbear… a lot. It is a good idea to have users give pronouns and automatically attach it.
Their behaviour has made me constantly check if people with pronouns after their names are part of hexbear before engaging in any threads, because of the stress of dealing with them :/, sometimes I do engage anyway and immediately regret it /shrug
It is depressing, because normally using pronouns like this indicates trans supportiveness so I feel better about conversing with people with them on their names. Hexbear has ruined this because of their behaviour around all other topics and sometimes trans topics.
Just hope Jerboa gets instance-blocking features soon ;p, then I can block them on both my lemmy accounts .
Something that might be useful long term is trying to train an AI and release weights to identify CSAM that admins can use to check images. The main problem is finding a way to do this without storing those kinds of images or video :/
My understanding is that right now, the main mechanisms involved use several central databases which use perceptual hashes of known CSAM material. The problem is that this ends up being a whackamole solution, and at least in theory governments could use these databases to censor copyrighted or more general “unapproved” content, though i imagine such a db would lose trust quickly and I’m not aware of this being an issue in practise.
One potential solution is “opportunistic training” where, when new CSAM material gets identified and submitted to the FBI or these databases by various server admins, a small amount of training is done on the AI weights before the image or video is deleted and only a perceptual hash remains. Furthermore, if a picture is reported as “known CSAM” by these dbs, then you do the same thing with that image before it gets deleted.
To avoid false positives, you also train the AI on general non-CSAM content.
Ideally this process would be fully automated so no-one has to look at that shit - over time, ypu’d theoretically get a neural net capable of identifying CSAM reliably with few or no false positives or false negatives .. Admins could also try for some kind of distributed training, where each contributes weight deltas from local training, or each builds up LoRA-style improvement modules and people combine them to reduce bandwidth for modification sharing.
I guess it’s a typo for “baby trans”, a sometimes-slightly-derogatory term (but can be neutral too) for people who only recently started transitioning or only recently realised they are trans .
Some people who’ve been transitioning for longer don’t find the kind of stuff they feel is often posted by “”“baby trans”“” people interesting or enjoyable or relatable. Or they just aren’t into online trans meme cultures, or several other things.
The only reason this happens is that capitalism ties survival to labour. Automation should be liberating us, and yet the structures of capitalism and “protestant work ethic” cause it to do the opposite :/. People would act this way because otherwise the greater efficiency acts as a detriment to their survival ability.
None of what you said is an argument against worker democracy, but an argument against the fundamental models of capitalism and “”“free”“” market ideology . (or more generally, any system and ideology which gatekeeps access to basic resources behind their perceived ability to provide “value” or perform labour).
If they’d called it Dogs arse Flu you wouldn’t even comment.
This is totally irrelevant?? It was a coronavirus, not a flu virus, which is why it’s not called as some kind of flu strain.
P.S. Sar-cov2 is the alleged infection agent and not Covid19, which is a list of basic symptoms.
It is the infection agent. Not the “”“alleged”“” infection agent. Also casual conversation and speech is a thing .
I assure you i’m not capable of having been infected by a computer model, and I have absolutely been infected with covid-19 in the past.
The uk has a serious surveillance state cultural problem.
And holy fuck is this dumb.
Because it’s not correct, for a lot of reasons. Even the idea of “human nature” is pretty questionable, at least unless your conception of it is extremely broad and conditional ^.^
People are capable of cooperation and non-hierarchical/coercive organising and natural disasters and shit demonstrate this. This is just one example of proto-anarchistic organising among many.
Ahh, the “human nature” argument. Never heard that one before /s
I am an anarchist and I do not want to be a strongman. You sound like you don’t have even the most basic understanding of anarchism as a political concept <.<
I’m trans nonbinary, and I get very strongly bothered (not in this case as you are asking but…) when people suggest that being nonbinary means you aren’t trans (or that they are mutually exclusive groups), as my gender is distinct from that which was assigned to me at birth nya.
I share experiences with a lot of other trans people as well and so having people imply that I am separate from that community bothers me.
This combines with the fact that such separation often implies that nonbinary people want or need only a subset of things as binary trans people may often want/need (such as various aspects of medical transition), which is untrue - for example, I have HRT, much like many (but not all) binary trans people want or have, but often people separating “nonbinary” from “trans” seem to operate with the implicit subtext that nonbinary people do not transition or do not transition in ways they consider as “real” or “full” or “as important” as binary transition (not that I am suggesting that is actually a thing, just illustrating the subtextual framing I perceive - its also worth remembering that binary transition pathways/goals/etc. vary a lot between people too).
Not only this but this separation often comes with the implicit subtext/assumption that nonbinary identities are not strongly separated from their assigned-at-birth gender identity. There are certainly nonbinary people like that, but there are also lots of us who have an identity quite far from that assigned at birth ^.^.
Some nonbinary people don’t consider themselves trans, but a lot of us do (including me).
In summary, for me this is because my gender identity (strong sense of gender but not one of the “man/woman” genders and instead a third axis with some fem component) is strongly distinct from my AGAB, and I do/want-to-do things that other people in the trans community often-but-not-always do or want to do (such as accessing HRT, legal name change, surgeries (though not conventional binary ones), etc.)
As for the etymology, just think of it as cis=same, trans=different - rather than cis=same, trans=opposite.
