Yo, startpage looks sick. I’ll have to poke around and see if I can find more info on that it looks super useful. My quick test just now was “cloture 2025” which returned 4 news articles followed by basically nothing but .gov links, whereas Google returns way more “news”
Yeah I think I’m headed in this direction. I’ve also been thinking about one of them self-hostable search engines a lot
People are giving great answers here. One I didn’t notice at a glance is that the Fediverse is feckin small. Most of the world doesn’t know it exists yet, and centralized social medias are probably not gonna be super big about pushing that info through their algorithms
I’ll really really appreciate this. I like having a few federated services to bounce between when I’m bored, but not a huge fan of actually using pixelfed since it’s more akin to social medias I never used. Having pixelfed content more easily accessible in Lemmy will make it a lot easier for me to interact with larger portion of the Fediverse
Making jokes about it to shine light on the fact that it’s happening right now, and to cope with that
Yeah, it’s honestly mostly an issue of me dipping into programming and not properly sticking to it for long enough to wrap my mind around some concepts. I heard all the warnings that “learning to program is usually one of the hardest things someone has accomplished” because of how late we learn it and all the other complications. I also, however, have heard my whole life that I learned fast and picked things up easily. Boy oh boy was one of those messages more useful than the other lol
This is a solid use of AI.
Basically the equivalent of saying “Take a look at these characters and run it against a huge database to see if you find anything similar with documentation of its purpose”
For anything
that doesn’t seem entirely obviousI try…
I’ve come to teach myself that I have no idea what “entirely obvious” is.
This function is 3 lines long why am I boggled by it right now? I should have written a comment
Congrats on your free flight, bozo. Enjoy the concentration camp. Here in freeville, home of the free, you’re free to like monster or Red Bull and that’s it.
To agree with you in different words, I would you argue that you can compare it to a calculator. Without the reasoning, a calculator is basically useless. I can tell you that 1.1(22 * 12 * 3) = 871.2 but it’s impossible to know what that number means or why it’s important from the information there. An LLM works the same way, I give it an equation (“prompt”) and it does some math to give me a response which is useless without context. It doesn’t actually answer the words in the prompt, it does (at best) guess-work based off the “value” of the text
I don’t disagree with you by any means. That out of the way:
Wouldn’t it be so fucking funny if AI destroyed copyright laws though? Like what if we all just say “yeah fuck it train your AI on whatever, and while you’re at it enjoy the content”
Not technically my first lease, but the first one that I’m financially responsible for which is pretty neat…
Ya know I was gonna say “all things considered” at first but I realized that it’s actually only neat if you consider only a small portion of things. If you consider all things, you would realize that paying rent in a post-scarcity world is laughable
He left the office…
These are the things a “department of government efficiency” should be worried about. Not feckin funding bills. Oughta be above their pay grade
Ooh now you can be my reminder AND you’ve taught me the reminderbot ping incantation. Thank you for both of these things

They have an interview so they dressed up femme for the day. Societal standards and whatnot. Should see em at the bar
I get chocolate milk and lemonade too!
Getting off a night shift at 4 am, tripping into my friends big ol fuckin Chevy and riding 5 minutes into the swamp for a gas station burrito was the highlight of my life for 9 months
Stayed in Virginia for a while and was exposed to Wawa and the other big gas station/grocery store situation down there. The food is solid for what it is
Kinda like a vaccine against kids in a way
I wonder how the whole “AI is more important than copyright” thing could play into this… Someone could totally program an “AI” map assistant right?
