02:09 TR News; RMS has already adopted misleading terms promoted if not coined by Microsoft lobbyists
02:09 schestowitz[TR2]; MinceR: have you tried a "modern" chatbot yet?
02:09 MinceR; no
02:09 schestowitz[TR2]; it's not good
02:09 schestowitz[TR2]; and it costs a lot
02:10 schestowitz[TR2]; <techrights-news> While Microsoft calls itself green and corrupt Jim Zemlin takes Microsoft bribes to play along with this phony narrative https://gizmodo.com/chatgpt-ai-water-185000-gallons-training-nuclear-1850324249
02:10 TR Bot; Training ChatGPT AI Required 185,000 Gallons of Water: Study
02:10 MinceR; i didn't feel like handing my email address over to some evil megacorporations just so i could play around with a text generator
02:10 schestowitz[TR2]; <techrights-news> Waste of electricity also at the back end of others companies https://www.wired.com/story/stack-overflow-will-charge-ai-giants-for-training-data/
02:10 TR Bot; Overflow Will Charge AI Giants for Training Data | WIRED
02:10 MinceR; if i could just run one on my gaming laptop, maybe i would play around with it
02:10 schestowitz[TR2]; you can download a model
02:10 schestowitz[TR2]; but don't have high expectations
02:11 schestowitz[TR2]; it won't be that good
02:11 MinceR; i was hoping to see what hardware vicuna requires
02:11 schestowitz[TR2]; and def. not good use of your time
02:11 MinceR; but it's missing
02:11 MinceR; i know one leaked model was enormous and i don't really have space for that now
02:11 schestowitz[TR2]; you don't need to train anything
02:11 schestowitz[TR2]; just get the model itself
02:11 schestowitz[TR2]; and it's maybe fun for a few minutes
02:11 MinceR; i'd also need code to use it with
02:11 schestowitz[TR2]; and then you see dumb or false responses
02:11 schestowitz[TR2]; and the fun goes away
02:12 MinceR; and i would invest less effort and time into it if it came packaged ready for use already
02:12 schestowitz[TR2]; it's just another form of spying, propaganda, and censorship
02:12 schestowitz[TR2]; better off avoided
02:13 schestowitz[TR2]; those one's who make or expose the model
02:13 MinceR; i don't really see where the spying, propaganda or censorship are in running one's own LLM on one's own hardware
02:13 schestowitz[TR2]; they have another "business model" in mind
02:13 schestowitz[TR2]; they also train on crap like reddit
02:13 schestowitz[TR2]; while reddit weeds out many reasonable people
02:13 schestowitz[TR2]; to appease reddit sponsors like Mikcrosoft
02:14 schestowitz[TR2]; <MinceR> i don't really see where the spying, propaganda or censorship are in running one's own LLM on one's own hardware
02:14 schestowitz[TR2]; assuming
02:14 schestowitz[TR2]; 1) you train it yourself
02:14 schestowitz[TR2]; 2) the sources (data) are unbiased
02:14 MinceR; many use cases don't really need the training data to be credible
02:14 schestowitz[TR2]; in all likelihood, other companies already filter (2)
02:14 schestowitz[TR2]; like reddit does
02:14 MinceR; and maybe i can get pointers on how to search the web for something that's difficult for me to phrase for some others
02:15 schestowitz[TR2]; there is almost no use case for it, but
02:15 schestowitz[TR2]; the media keeps making up use cases
02:15 schestowitz[TR2]; for the sponsors
02:15 schestowitz[TR2]; notably microsoft
02:15 schestowitz[TR2]; to keep telling people bing hasd a purpose
02:15 schestowitz[TR2]; and bing is "HEY HI"
02:15 MinceR; i've written name generators before
02:15 schestowitz[TR2]; like they did "decision engine" in 2009
02:16 schestowitz[TR2]; one use case is plagiarism
02:16 schestowitz[TR2]; like "copilot"
02:16 schestowitz[TR2]; it is not a positive use case
02:16 schestowitz[TR2]; but a risk
02:16 schestowitz[TR2]; apropos, you barely heard of it anymore
02:16 schestowitz[TR2]; same for wsl
02:16 schestowitz[TR2]; those are failing
02:16 schestowitz[TR2]; microsoft will be forced to end them one day...
02:17 schestowitz[TR2]; for one of them they got sued. class action.

02:22 MinceR; not really
02:22 MinceR; i was a little worried that the leaked stuff would be suppressed, but i doubt it's going to be
02:23 MinceR; s/have/need/
02:23 schestowitz[TR2]; maybe train something you need
02:23 schestowitz[TR2]; like image classfier for some object
02:23 schestowitz[TR2]; i sued to do those when i was a student
02:24 MinceR; yeah, i could play with that too
02:24 schestowitz[TR2]; back then we had point distribution models
02:24 schestowitz[TR2]; on hardware like 1ghz cpu speed

10:41 mjg59_; But also that I'm happy to believe that his former employers engaged in actual crimes!
10:42 mjg59_; immibis: Yup

10:42 immibis; if you're gonna do an open-to-proprietary bridge (supposing that https is considered proprietary), do it properly instead of fucking up the proprietary side. Jump through the proprietary hoops because that is the point of the bridge.
10:42 mjg59_; immibis: So it's legitimate to worry that CAs may behave badly, but also the technology now exists to catch them doing so
10:43 techuser; schestowitz[TR2]: what are the "good" reasons? I can't marry people on IRC and I hardly socialize IRL. Then, it sometimes turns out that after years, people become toxic after something happens.
10:43 immibis; there is no point in having an open-to-proprietary bridge and then having people get an error page when they try to view the proprietary side of the bridge
10:43 techuser; I had to leave one IRC network which was quite important for me, because the admins started banning everyone.
10:43 TR News; "Yes!, and that's the premise of PyScript, an on-development tool to well, use Python as your javascript. Boy, was I excited about this alpha...

10:43 mjg59_; techuser: In a broad sense it's considered a good thing to behave in a way that causes at least a subset of people to have a positive opinion of one
10:43 immibis; presumably that was freenode
10:44 immibis; why python instead of lua
10:44 techuser; No, a small one.
10:44 immibis; lua would be a great replacement for javascript
10:44 immibis; it's basically javascript with a little less stupdity

10:47 schestowitz[TR2]; <techuser> schestowitz[TR2]: what are the "good" reasons? I can't marry people on IRC and I hardly socialize IRL. Then, it sometimes turns out that after years, people become toxic after something happens.
10:47 schestowitz[TR2]; never meet people online first
10:47 schestowitz[TR2]; meet in person first
10:47 schestowitz[TR2]; it's much easier to weed out bad people IRL
10:47 schestowitz[TR2]; or rather,
10:47 schestowitz[TR2]; easy to fake things online

10:51 schestowitz[TR2]; techuser: based on what others too told me
10:51 schestowitz[TR2]; and based "IME"
10:51 schestowitz[TR2]; you might get "lucky"
10:52 schestowitz[TR2]; but online it's a lot of time-wasting
10:52 schestowitz[TR2]; it's like doing X instead of Y, where Y matters more than X
10:52 schestowitz[TR2]; and you hope that X can get you to Y
10:52 mjg59_; Many people I've met online are wonderful people who've turned into friends or more
10:52 schestowitz[TR2]; lots of examples of that in life
10:52 techuser; If one is feeling lucky, it is much faster to just waste money in a casino.
10:52 schestowitz[TR2]; right
10:53 schestowitz[TR2]; to give person examples
10:53 schestowitz[TR2]; those a<re perssonal
10:53 schestowitz[TR2]; i have a detailed list in an old pdf somewhere
10:53 schestowitz[TR2]; any girl i first spoke to not in person turned out to have some issues
10:53 techuser; My brother was never married, but no idea if he wanted to.
10:53 schestowitz[TR2]; not to say that people i met in person were perfect
10:53 schestowitz[TR2]; but you detect it very quickly
10:54 schestowitz[TR2]; you can find many analogies for this
10:54 schestowitz[TR2]; job interviuews still typically require in-person interview
10:54 schestowitz[TR2]; at least informal chat
10:54 schestowitz[TR2]; because you can detect a lot this way
10:55 techuser; A job interview is helpful at least, as I can get a job if I pass.
10:55 mjg59_; why would you keep a detailed list of dates
10:56 schestowitz[TR2]; interview is good for both parties
10:56 schestowitz[TR2]; you can see better if you dislike the place
10:56 schestowitz[TR2]; or dislike the people there
10:56 schestowitz[TR2]; unless they hide both away
10:56 schestowitz[TR2]; so the interview is an opportunity to know if you want to work there at all
10:56 schestowitz[TR2]; iu went to manchester city tower more than a decade ago
10:56 schestowitz[TR2]; i saw the workers on shared desks

11:00 mjg59_; Uh no?
11:00 schestowitz[TR2]; it's hard to raise a kid on one's own
11:00 mjg59_; It's not about children at all
11:00 schestowitz[TR2]; esp. while having a job
11:00 schestowitz[TR2]; in the past the women had a job called housewife
11:00 mjg59_; Otherwise Roy's marriage would be a failure
11:00 schestowitz[TR2]; and the men earned decent saalries
11:00 schestowitz[TR2]; so matrimony was used to keep wedlock
11:00 schestowitz[TR2]; and it worked out better for societies
11:00 techuser; I see a lot of families whose quality of life is reduced by having kids.

11:01 mjg59_; Some people read more into it than exists
11:01 schestowitz[TR2]; but those one-year subsidies are a drop in the ocean
11:02 mjg59_; But marriage isn't about kids, because benefits that apply to married people apply even if they can't have kids

11:04 schestowitz[TR2]; and

11:22 immibis; it is quite funny when all the transphobes start insisting cisgender women are actually men
11:22 immibis; based on their height, or muscles, or whatever
11:23 immibis; and then they call themselves "defending women's rights" as if they didn't just say that muscly women aren't allowed to pee
11:24 mjg59_; Also women with high testosterone levels aren't allowed to compete with women, but men can compete with men whatever their T level is
11:25 immibis; that one makes a little sense if you treat it like a weight class. The transphobes have a little bit of validity there. Doing it based on testosterone levels is stupid, though.

15:27 immibis; (all of this referring to Matthew Garrett)
15:27 immibis; tell me this is not deliberate reputational damage
15:27 schestowitz[TR2]; all supported by evidence
15:27 schestowitz[TR2]; from himself
15:27 MinceR; which of this states that true statements can be defamation?
15:27 immibis; and a great exaggeration of what actually happened
15:27 schestowitz[TR2]; you also did not complete the quote
15:28 MinceR; "but i'm really offended by the truth!" nobody cares.
15:28 immibis; not everything that is "supported by evidence" is true. For example, there is evidence that schestowitz[TR2] is transphobic, but it might not be true.
15:28 immibis; it could be a misunderstanding.
15:28 schestowitz[TR2]; my post was 100% accurate
15:28 schestowitz[TR2]; said he used to be transphobic
15:28 immibis; being transphobic is also evidence that somebody is a neo-Nazi, but hardly sufficient to conclude that they are.
15:28 schestowitz[TR2]; according to himself
15:28 schestowitz[TR2]; even quoting him
15:28 immibis; oh so he's not any more?

15:30 schestowitz[TR2]; he keeps fucking with millionf of people
15:30 schestowitz[TR2]; harming them
15:30 schestowitz[TR2]; then wehines when he gets flak
15:30 immibis; that is what you actually wrote. Just the summary. There is nothing else there.
15:30 schestowitz[TR2]; what I wrote there is factual
15:30 schestowitz[TR2]; grow up, move on
15:31 immibis; see gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/04/22/gulagboy-defending-criminals/
15:31 immibis; all that is here is a defamatory "summary"
15:31 *schestowitz[TR2] checks gemini auto-translate
15:31 immibis; it is basically as if I published a blog post saying "Roy Schestowitz is a pedophile."
15:31 schestowitz[TR2]; if anything, i suspect he is
15:32 schestowitz[TR2]; aasking people here in irc about CP
15:32 schestowitz[TR2]; uninvited
15:32 schestowitz[TR2]; provoking people
15:32 schestowitz[TR2]; with CP questions
15:32 schestowitz[TR2]; in private messages
15:32 immibis; hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
15:32 schestowitz[TR2]; checked gemini
15:32 schestowitz[TR2]; perfectly factual
15:32 immibis; without evidenc,e this is completely delusional
15:32 schestowitz[TR2]; just like www
15:32 immibis; it is your IRC server, allegedly in a country without privacy laws. You can just view his private messages. You don't have to suspect.
15:32 schestowitz[TR2]; maybe you should stop defending a-holes, perverts,a dnd mental nuts
15:33 schestowitz[TR2]; and then you won't feel urged to troll with them inn irc
15:33 schestowitz[TR2]; bbl
15:33 schestowitz[TR2]; no time for nonsense
15:33 immibis; i see why nobody likes you now

15:33 schestowitz[TR2]; gonna do videos about sirius tonight
15:33 immibis; and call people pedophiles
15:33 schestowitz[TR2]; you started on me

15:33 schestowitz[TR2]; i said what mjg did to people in this network
15:33 schestowitz[TR2]; like he was a state spy
15:33 schestowitz[TR2]; maybe gchq
15:33 schestowitz[TR2]; who the f* knows
15:33 immibis; you say he solicits child porn from people
15:34 schestowitz[TR2]; he acts like one, that's for sure
15:34 schestowitz[TR2]; no
15:34 schestowitz[TR2]; he tries to entrap p[eople
15:34 immibis; that is certainly defamation
15:34 schestowitz[TR2]; that's how far his trolling here in irc goes
15:34 schestowitz[TR2]; it's not defamation
15:34 schestowitz[TR2]; i said what he did here
15:34 schestowitz[TR2]; that's a fact
15:34 immibis; entrap people how, by asking for child porn? you just say the truth, "I do not have any child porn" and you are not entrapped

20:13 TR News; Common mistakes: When you go, "hey everyone, my name is X" you waste listeners' time, esp. if the name is already plastered somewhere. Speaking fast to fit lots of info, densely, comes at a cost. Absorption is better and for that, slow pace is needed, even repetition where emphasis required. A lot of speakers think it's like running through papers/slides.

20:14 TR News; Moreover, reading a book fast does not mean absorbing its contents faster, it often just means poorly comprehending it but mentally marking it off as "Read".
20:15 TR News; The Web is being littered with spam. To make matters worse, some people not experiment with chatbots and it's very easy to detect. It'll hasten the Web's demise.
20:17 TR News; Measuring the Web in terms such as # of pages is like judging an OS by the number of lines of code

20:36 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], I got confirmation that Mandy's 401(k) election has gone through in my email. Thank God.
20:36 DaemonFC; I ran the numbers and the IRS was going to give us a pretty big fucking at the end of the year and turn us over to STATE OF ILL as sloppy seconds.
20:37 DaemonFC; But that's been neutralized.
20:37 DaemonFC; I'd rather throw it in Mandy's retirement and let it earn bond interest than hand it over to those goddamn motherfuckers.
20:38 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], I noticed that the government would subsidize me gambling with crypto or stocks.
20:39 DaemonFC; Since they charge us a 0% capital gains rate on long term investments, unless there's a wash sale, I wouldn't owe them anything on the profits, but I could still deduct the losses.
20:40 DaemonFC; I was considering some gold and to go rooting through the stock market for some undervalued stocks.
20:40 DaemonFC; Maybe silver too.
20:40 DaemonFC; IDK. Silver is nice.
20:40 DaemonFC; Both have a lot of industrial uses.

20:43 TR Bot; Portillo's Inc. (PTLO) Stock Price, News, Quote & History - Yahoo Finance
20:43 DaemonFC; Portillos is one of the few restaurants that is still making a net profit margin.
20:44 DaemonFC; It's always packed and most of their locations are in relatively well off areas where they're not as affected by you knoe, layoffs and shit.
20:45 DaemonFC; The one over in Gurnee is by some really expensive shopping districts where if you even have to ask what it costs....hahahaha
20:46 DaemonFC; I'd say the challenge with Portillos is that they used to be a local Chicago thing and then they went IPO and a lot of pressure from Wall Street hedge funds, which own most of the shares, got them to make "operational changes".
20:47 DaemonFC; And while that hasn't harmed their food and service quality as much as I thought it would, it's not exactly the same as it was before.
20:47 DaemonFC; That tends to happen when something gets big and becomes listed on a stock exchange.
20:48 DaemonFC; Suddenly you go from management that looks 5-10 years into the future and you get management that goes "What will our next earnings report show?" so they reduce investments that ultimately would have made the business more profitable to show that they pay dividends now.
20:49 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], 5-10 years into the future is not what's going on at Microsoft and Apple.
20:49 DaemonFC; They don't even plan for a year later now.
20:50 DaemonFC; I can't even believe that there's a bank account for your iPhone now that's called a High Yield Savings.
20:50 DaemonFC; It's just a rebranded Marcus account that needs an iPhone.
20:50 DaemonFC; Herr derr, here pay $1749 for a phone that does what a $500 Android does.
20:50 DaemonFC; Then SAVE in HIGH YIELD!
20:51 DaemonFC; And as long as you have your money in this account, which isn't any better than Marcus, you have to buy another iPhone? I mean, GTFO.
20:51 DaemonFC; It's a variable yield account.
20:51 DaemonFC; Just because it pays 4.15% today doesn't mean it will in a week.
20:52 DaemonFC; It's a Savings Account. Those can go up, or they can go down with no warning.
20:52 DaemonFC; It's not a sound investment that pays a guaranteed rate over a timeframe, like bonds or CDs.
20:52 DaemonFC; A No Penalty CD goes for 11 months at between 4-4.8% right now, depending on the bank.
20:53 DaemonFC; Marcus itself has a promo (penalty) CD that's a 10 month duration at 5.05%. You don't need iPhones to buy and manage these.
20:53 DaemonFC; If you get a No Penalty and rates go down, it has to pay the rate you agreed to for the rest of the life of the CD, if you get one and rates go up you just sell the CD and keep all the money and buy a new one at the higher rate.
20:54 DaemonFC; You won't get this with "Apple Savings".
20:54 DaemonFC; If they decide that you don't get 4.15% next week and you get 3% then you get 3%.
20:54 DaemonFC; I'd be very interested to see where the rate on the Apple Savings Account lands after a barrage of SPAM with 4.15% in the headline ends.
20:55 DaemonFC; They can change it before your money even finishes transferring into the account.
20:56 DaemonFC; https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mcdonald-wants-tighten-franchise-rules-112800564.html
20:56 TR Bot; McDonalds wants to tighten franchise rules, and restaurant owners are not lovin it
20:57 DaemonFC; "Last June, the fast food chain announced plans to tighten its franchising rules in the US, where an estimated 95% of stores are operated by independent owners. The changes included a new grading system, more frequent inspections, and a revamp of how it grants 20-year franchise licenses that emphasizes they are earned, not given."
20:57 DaemonFC; Yeah, the "Black-Owned McDonalds" didn't get the bailout from Corporate during COVID.
20:57 DaemonFC; I was in one of these places on Cottage Grove in South Chicago one time, years before COVID. The place was filthy.
20:58 DaemonFC; You had workers walking around sagging.
20:58 DaemonFC; The place looked like a dump. You wouldn't eat there.
20:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
20:59 DaemonFC; You go to any of the McDonalds in Waukegan where the White and Hispanic/Latino people work and own them, everything is clean. There's always someone mopping the floors or wiping down the fixtures.
20:59 DaemonFC; Everyone is in a clean uniform that looks like they ironed it.
20:59 DaemonFC; If you walked in as a person from Corporate and had to pick one of them to try to save, which would it be?
20:59 DaemonFC; The CNN article did NOT point this out.
21:00 DaemonFC; If the place looks like a dump, imagine what the kitchen looks like.
21:00 DaemonFC; So again, guess why Corporate didn't assist.
21:02 DaemonFC; If nobody cleans anything in the lobby, if people are sagging, if the uniforms look dirty, do you think they're changing the fryer oil on schedule? Do you think they're cleaning off the cooking fixtures? Do you think there's regular handwashing?
21:02 *AdmFubar has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
21:03 DaemonFC; McDonalds is obviously clamping down on Quality Control because when you franchise that gets away from you if you don't lay down the law. I mean, some franchise owners run a tight ship and others are incompetent and let the place turn into a dump.
21:04 DaemonFC; Look how fast things got really bad in Russia when the state forced McDonalds to sell.
21:04 DaemonFC; And XRevan86 went in and got a Putin Supreme rat burger.
21:04 DaemonFC; It's just unbelievable how incompetent the Russian Military is. They go to war and they're so stupid that they attack themselves.
21:05 DaemonFC; They have planes falling out of the air and dropping bombs on their own cities, blowing up city centers, apartment buildings.
21:05 DaemonFC; They've done more damage to Belgorod than the Ukrainian military managed to do.

21:06 DaemonFC; And I'm sure the Russian people living in the area aren't happy with this. It's not like the state media is going to interview the people of Belgorod and ask them what they think of the war now that they have Russian bombs blowing up their town.
