  • Humble Tech Book Bundle: Computer Science the Fun Way by No Starch

    Jump

  • Most programming books start with tips for starters. I don't think that's a good way to do it. I want books that get into the programming techniques the pros use. What to use when building functions, how to build a proper class within the goals set. I think this is better than explaining the reserved words or other things that belong to an encyclopedia.

  • I think OpenAI Whisper is run locally, I've used it before. So what's the catch?

  • “It’s a lemon”—OpenAI’s largest AI model ever arrives to mixed reviews

    Jump

  • That was kind of expected, but Claude isn't that good either.

  • Big-tech is evil but could Fediverse benefit from more small/medium for-profit companies?

  • I agree. Commercials get in, you get what happened to the Internet. We need something new.

  • The future of the internet is likely smaller communities, with a focus on curated experiences

    Jump

  • I firmly believe that connecting people to their IRL friends is an important part of the potential of the Internet, as it is shown by Facebook, for example.

    But I also believe there are people looking to connect with new people and finding a community where they can express themselves wholly. I think the current Internet is weak in this regard, weaker than it has been before, but I think it's possible to build a place where people can connect.

  • Sometimes Claude Haiku (which has few billion parameters) knows things that ChatGPT doesn't.

  • Do you guys read programming books? How do you make the most out of it?

    Jump

  • I've read the full C++ programming book by Bjarne Stroustrup before. It's good because you get the insight of the author about the language, but I don't think it's the best way to learn the language. I think it's good if you want to learn what is at the root of the programming language.

  • Google gets an error-corrected quantum bit to be stable for an hour

    Jump

  • Seeing quantum computers work will be like seeing mathemagics at work, doing it all behind the scenes. Physically (for the small ones) it looks the same, but abstractly it can perform all kinds of deep mathematics.

  • Not to mention that quantum cryptography has found ways to prevent that already.

  • I think that means the current quantum computers made using photonics, right? Those are really big though.

  • How can I become independent in life?

    Jump

  • It would be hard to leave home everyday as a depressed person. Also, he has been to therapy and mental hospitals, meaning the whole family is trying something. He couldn't take care of himself alone. I believe working from home is a good alternative.

  • How can I become independent in life?

    Jump

  • Try finding work from home in your environment, maybe some freelance work. Once you're able and structured from your work, then you'll feel more safe about caring about yourself and your life. You're very young, it's a young age for giving up on everything. Freelance clients are much more understanding than normal office jobs. Build up your confidence and your independence and you'll get there.

  • The same electroshock therapy that was used to try to convert a trans person in China? I don't think that's a good idea.

  • Chinese companies are reportedly reluctant to adopt homegrown chips — domestic solutions are technologically too far behind

    Jump

  • The chinese understand that this is a matter of national security, as can be seen by the US limiting their access to high quality chips. This power over other nations production shouldn't be there.

  • Bluesky CEO Jay Graber is reshaping social media, but advertising isn't off the table

    Jump

  • Not to mention the algorithms that lock your attention to the ad. YouTube does this a lot. I just watch all the commercial, because it knows well (through diffing and other techniques) what I will watch completely. I guess I'll get used to it. I have also been clicking more on ads around the webpages, but I don't think this is to my liking. The technology is just getting better. This is really bad, but it's beyond salvation right now. I believe all we can do is mitigate the effects of ads on the Internet. I'm glad we have alternatives.
