You might want to give some sources for that claim.
This article from Time summarizes quite well my view of the issues related to attention span. This is certainly not limited to the likes of tiktok or twitter, but I think those can be considered as representing two of the worst platform formats for meaningful content.
Sure, there are those people, but that’s not the point here. Lemmy doesn’t enforce some arbitrary short length to its posts in an attempt to force the users to engage more with the platform instead of the actual content. The same cannot be said of tiktok or twitter, for example.
Seems to have been hot enough to get under your skin, though. Thanks for proving my point. 👍
Hot take: let this brain rot format die already. If you cannot hold your attention for longer than a few minutes at a time, you might want to work on that instead of embracing it.
Elon’s Death
For a brief moment, I was so excited… Rip deer.
Oh my… I though the big companies had a mutual understanding that throwing shit at each other is a huge no-no. There’s enough shit to drown them all in it time and again, so this should be hilarious to watch unfold.
I didn’t say it would be easy, but anything TSMC currently produces would likely find a new buyer even with no US customers, so in the short run the loser would not be TSMC. In the long run, it’s pointless to speculate, since US would probably try to level Taiwan down rather than let China have the semiconductor sector to itself… Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that, though.
At least they are consistent, so I guess that’s something…
Not really. China would just buy it all if given the chance and the US companies would be fucked, since TSMC is practically a monopoly within its field at the moment.
This reads like a desperate attempt at proving to investors that their “AI” is useful for handling factual information, with a hint of plain old corporate bribery to avoid further lawsuits from publishers. Grifters gonna grift, and all that.
And do some more stock buybacks and raise dividends, of course.
Careful now, you’ll open the door for fElon Musk 2028. We don’t want that, do we?
You might want to remember that he has done more to advance open source software than perhaps any other person on this planet. You don’t get to take away someone’s achievements just because you don’t like them…
I’d put my money on that account being hacked/sold and gaining a new life as a bot in some disinformation network ready to spew bias and bullshit when the time and topic is right. There’s no other way to explain the comment history before 9 months ago, then a long silence, and then a restart just a few weeks ago with a complete change in character.
Idealistically and realistically: Totally and absolutely cool. If anything, they have a moral imperative to keep the project going, since there are users that depend on it, and doing that requires money. As such, people will need to be informed of how to contribute, so a pop up doing just that is a good way to achieve this. Why would this not be ok, even idealistically?
Perhaps LLMs can be used to gain some working vocabulary in a subject you aren’t familiar with. I’d say anything more than that is a gamble, since there’s no guarantee that hallucinations have not taken place. Remember, that to spot incorrect info, you need to already be well acquainted with the matter at hand, which is at the polar opposite of just starting to learn the basics.
You do realize that a very thorough manual is but a man bash away? Perhaps it’s not the most accessible source available, but it makes up for that in completeness.
Frankly, I’m baffled to see such negativity here and in the github comments.
Sure, winamp could have handled this better and just referred to the release as “source available” instead of “open source”. Then again, calling it “open source” is not that far fetched and is likely only going to annoy those who want to find fault in any case.
It’s almost like “open source” has become a religion unto itself, with fanatic zealots defining what is and what isn’t acceptable - I kindly ask you to stop that bullshit, we have enough of these already.
Having source available is infinitely better than not having it, so let’s keep that in mind. Obviously, this doesn’t mean that people cannot give constructive criticism on how to improve the situation, but most of the shit on display here make my eyes roll hard enough to cause strain: https://github.com/WinampDesktop/winamp/issues/6
I cannot help but think this is a bot account trying to discredit Luigi for reasons.
