poulpy123··on The French Cake Cooked on a Spit (2018) [video]
Ironically I'm french but I was aware of the tredelnik and the baumkuchen but not this one
poulpy123··on Humans will never again create a project quite like Wikipedia
Default for people who want their open source work to stay open source and not privatized by billionaire companies.
poulpy123··on Humans will never again create a project like Wikipedia
There are two critical points for a wikipedia level project:

1. the culture of sharing your work 2. the sense of usefulness and purpose

I'm not sure the newest generation share the 1, but in any case LLM companies destroy the 2.

Why would you thanklessly work for free and for the community if your work is pillaged and sold for a lot of money by AI companies before the project even reaches a critical mass ?!

poulpy123··on Good Riddance to the Cybertruck, the Chariot of the Dumbest Gods
He wasn't able to hide he is a hateful moron anymore
poulpy123··on Giant canyon on Mars is still tectonically active
How can it be tectonically active if there is no tectonic ? Is an old house crumbling under its own weight and structural failure also tectonic ?
poulpy123··on OpenAI seems to be silently re-enabling model training on Codex chats
They will just send your chat to the police or just ban you
poulpy123··on Itch.io adding Generative AI disclosure filtering to few more places on the site
The issue with AI slop is not so much the slop itself (there was always slop) but the amount of slop. When people are producing slop they are limited by time and ability, so the slop can go from mildly annoying to quite bad, but no more. However when it's entirely machine produced, you're literally drowned in slop if nothing is done. It's like the difference between being crapped on by a pigeon and falling in a manure pool
poulpy123··on AI is destroying my CS degree
But the act of teaching is a double standard between the teacher and the students. I remember courses , exercises and exams when I was in highschool and university where calculators were forbidden because the goal wasn't to get the numerical answer, that was just the icing on the cake
poulpy123··on AI is destroying my CS degree
Maybe they should have pasted the post in a LLM to ask what it was about
poulpy123··on Just a little AI resistance, as a treat
Slop that you cannot immediately identify as slop is still slop
poulpy123··on Microsoft just gave us the perfect name for AI thieves: Kyle
What if we didn't play the game to vilify a specific name ? What was done with the name Karen was disgusting enough to not be done again with Kyle

(And before any comment: I'm called Kyle, I don't know anyone named Kyle, it's at best a very uncommon name in my country)

poulpy123··on William Nordhaus has died
You're asking to much of economists
poulpy123··on How Google determines the names for bodies of water in Google Earth (2008)
That's why I wrote official. If the US as a country and as an institution change the name of a place, it is neither the problem nor the role of google to decide if it is good or not. I would not be happy if my president decided to rename the united kingdom to the îles normandes (normandy isles), but I do think that once official google should change the name
poulpy123··on Peta releases video showing experiments on infant monkeys at Univ of Washington
Because I don't think human and other animal lives have the same value. I'm specist
poulpy123··on How Google determines the names for bodies of water in Google Earth (2008)
I'm waiting for west america (asia and oceania) and east america (europe and africa). And maybe "very south america" for antarctica
poulpy123··on How Google determines the names for bodies of water in Google Earth
I see Golfe du Mexique (Golfe d'Amerique) from France in gmaps, and golfe du mexique/gulf of mexico/golfo des mexico on the maps supported by leaflet (depending on the provider)
poulpy123··on How Google determines the names for bodies of water in Google Earth (2008)
It's an american company, whatever they say come with an asterisk saying whatever they say it depends on what the powers in the USA decide (and it's the same for other countries with their own companies).

Anyway I don't think google should be the one choosing the names they call water bodies. They just need to use the official names for the IPs countries, and show lake america, gulf of america, ocean america, asian america, european america and african america if Trump makes it official, but only for the US IPs.

If you want to understand how the neurotoxin works you can experiment on animals or on humans. Your choice.
poulpy123··on Peta releases video showing experiments on infant monkeys at Univ of Washington
That's how research works. You don't know the results in advance and 99% have no direct and immediate usefulness for the general public
poulpy123··on Peta releases video showing experiments on infant monkeys at Univ of Washington
He was president in 2014 and these kind of projects are planned and funded well before.
poulpy123··on Peta releases video showing experiments on infant monkeys at Univ of Washington
It's surprising how people criticizing the critics are people who lack basic understanding of research.

Do you think researchers that experiment on animals do it for the pleasure of managing all the bureaucracy that comes with it, the potential pain of the animals and having to wait months or years for a result ?

poulpy123··on YousefAbdulHusain – The Dune Movies Erase Islam [video]
Small minded ? If islam is not fiction then all other religions and beliefs are fiction. How is it less small minded ?
poulpy123··on YousefAbdulHusain – The Dune Movies Erase Islam [video]
It can be a surprise to you but not everything turns around your religion.
poulpy123··on NixOS is making me less afraid
9 or 20 lines of nixos vs 7 steps on another OS vs some copy/paste with docker. It's not very convincing
poulpy123··on I built a programming language that LLMs can't use
"Let me introduce you to my new language PedoKKKCannibal, a new frontier lang made by humans for humans only"
poulpy123··on '500-hour' Order of the Sinking Star is as complex and exhausting as it sounds
Nope, noting the name for when my compulsion to buy a game will overcome again the shame of not playing my backlog
poulpy123··on Tesla Roadster
Wasn't the roaster supposed to be available years ago ?
poulpy123··on '500-hour' Order of the Sinking Star is as complex and exhausting as it sounds
Man, I'm not 16 anymore, give me 5€ / 10h games
poulpy123··on Sergey Brin says Google's AI models are reaching recursive self-improvement
I would do it for the money but it's not a life I would choose if I was already rich
poulpy123··on Yandex outage: data shows that instead of going dark, malicious bots moved
The issue is disagreement with the elite, that's why whenever a protest become a bit too public or critics start to be a bit more heard they always accuse Russia to be behind, even when it's totally ridiculous
