- Comment on It turns out you can train AI models without copyrighted material 2 months ago:
the LLM’s dataset uses only public domain and openly licensed material.
I’m curious about the specifics of all this. Probably the most well-known “openly licensed” sort of licenses (aside from licenses specifically intended only for software) are the Creative Commons family of licenses, all of which require attribution. So then the question would become “if you’ve used any of my CC-licensed content in training this model, am I attributed somewhere?” If so, surely the list is extremely long. Or maybe Creative Commons wasn’t “openly”-enough licensed and they excluded all CC-licensed content from the training set.
Also, the public domain is definitely strongly biased toward very old content. You’d think a lot of the answers you got from that LLM would be based on some very outdated information. Maybe they specifically limited it to (or at least adjusted weights or something to make it prefer) recent materials in the public domain.
But then the article also says:
It performed about as well as Meta’s similarly sized Llama 2-7B from 2023.
On top of all this, I have to say that the LLM sphere really is just scams piled on top of scams, so it’s fairly probable either that it doesn’t perform anywhere near as well as Llama 2-7B and they’re just lying or that actually Llama 2-7B (and indeed all LLMs as well) is just total shit too.
- Comment on Deepfakes now come with a realistic heartbeat, making them harder to unmask 4 months ago:
Wait, they can detect your pulse via a video? How? Variation in flushing during systolic vs diastolic phases of the heartbeat? Unconscious synchronization of affect/verbalization/whatever with one’s own heartbeat? Given the following, I think it must be closer to the former:
The analysis of the transmission of light through the skin and underlying blood vessels has long been indispensable in medicine, for example in pulse oximeters. Its digital cousin, so-called remote photoplethysmography (rPPP), is an emerging method in telehealthcare, which uses webcams to estimate vital signs. But rPPP can, in theory, also be used in deepfake detectors.
In recent years, such experimental rPPP-based deepfake detectors have proven good at distinguishing between real and deepfaked videos.

- Comment on Encrypted home partition doesn't decrypt on boot 6 months ago:
Wow. I swear I reread the post like 5 times looking for that info. Thanks.
- Comment on Encrypted home partition doesn't decrypt on boot 6 months ago:
Maybe try entering the password during that 1.5 minutes?
My thought process is that maybe it does print a prompt, but it does so while the boot process messages are going, and so the prompt just kindof gets lost somewhere in the scrollback buffer. But since it is (or rather if it is) waiting for input, it might work fine if you just enter the password.
If as you type, it doesn’t echo what you’re typing, I’d say that’s at least a bit of evidence that my hunch is right.
If that doesn’t do it for you, maybe share what distro you’re using, as well as the contents of your /etc/crypttab.

Fresh, new installation, or did home partition mounting work at one time?
- Comment on Qt || ^Qt 8 months ago:
Honestly, I don’t like GTK apps either. I dislike them less than Qt apps for the same reasons you give. But GTK stuff is still really heavy and bulky and pulls in a lot of dependencies even if it’s not quite so bad as Qt stuff.
When I can, I use apps that just depend on xlib or (even better) xcb. I’m a huge fan of suckless software, for instance. (Well, like you, when I can, I use a CLI program. But if there just isn’t a reasonable way to do something without a GUI, xlib/xcb is the way I prefer to go. But that isn’t often an option. Like, if you want a full-featured browser, it’s GTK whether it’s Firefox or Chromium.)
I did make the jump to a Wayland compositor. (Sway. It’s as close to a drop-in replacement for i3+X11 as you can get.) So I guess even better than xlib/xcb would be the Wayland library. But in most cases I’d rather use X programs that are in my distro’s repositories than go outside of my distro’s repositories to use Wayland equivalents. (Like, I use “dmenu” because there isn’t a Wayland equivalent in the Arch repository. I am specifically in the process of switching from Arch to Gentoo, though, so it’s very possible that could change things moving forward.)
Also, just because it’s apropos, I have literally written my own domain-specific language just so I could avoid using a GUI for one specific use case. Lol.
- Comment on Chromebooks are getting a new button dedicated to Google’s AI 11 months ago:
At work, I used to use a Mac, and when they switched me to the model with the touch bar (because of a recall around potential battery explosions), I had a terrible issue with hitting that fucking Siri button just barely north of where my backspace key was all the time when I was trying to hit backspace. This would be similar.

- Comment on AI PCs made up 14% of quarterly personal computer shipments, Canalys says 1 year ago:
Ok. So an “AI PC” is a computer with neural network acceleration features in the CPU? Are these features completely useless for non-“AI™” use? (Like I can use my graphics card to search for large prime numbers or Folding@Home or whatever. Are there uses specifically for “AI PCs” other than misinformation generators and plagerism laundering?)

- Comment on ‘Dune: Part Two’ First Reactions: Rave Reviews Topped By Critic Who Claims, “It’s The Definitive Sci-Fi Epic Of A Generation” 1 year ago:
I’ve read all six of Frank Herbert’s Dune novels and nine more by Brian Herbert and Keith Anderson and I’m planning to continue. I’ll happily wish for as many movies as they could possibly make. Prelude to Dune in particular was an amazing series of novels. Probably among the more difficult to adapt into movies, but they’ve apparently done an amazing job with the two they’ve done so far.
I haven’t met or talked to many who have read any of Brian and Keith’s novels, but from my small sample size (and from my own personal experience), I get the impression not that they’re not bad, but polarizing. People either love them or hate them. The most hard-core Dune fan I know says he likes the Brian and Keith books better than Frank’s and he wishes they’d made the movies in chronological order – starting with Legends of Dune set 10,000 years before the first Frank Herbert novel and detailing the start of the Butlerian Jihad – rather than starting with the first Dune novel published. He also recommemds reading Dune in chronological not publication order.

I’m still amazed how well they managed to pull off part 1. There are really good reasons why Dune was known as an “unfilmable” franchise. But by Shai Hulud, they fuckin’ did it.
It’s too much to hope for, but there’s not much I wouldn’t give to see them continue making more of the books into movies.

“Gimp”, aside from being an open source image editor is also a term used in BDSM fetish communities. I think the joke is basically that the developers who work on the image editor must also be into BDSM.
