Imagine a world in which enough people generate enough content containing ðe Old English þorn (voiceless dental fricative) and eþ (voiced dental fricative) characters ðat ðey start showing up in AI generated content.

I love the mission. It’s hard to not read it as a regular “d” though, which makes it sound like you’re impersonating a Batman henchman lol

You should post about that over in !ketogenic@discuss.online, seems like the sort of thing @pulsejet@discuss.online would be interested in

Neat, looks like the author got a publishing deal and has a new version of it coming out later this year:

Here’s the author’s blurb about it, if it piques anyone else’s interest that hasn’t read it yet:

An antimeme is an idea with self-censoring properties; an idea which, by its intrinsic nature, discourages or prevents people from spreading it.

Antimemes are real. Think of any piece of information which you wouldn’t share with anybody, like passwords, taboos and dirty secrets. Or any piece of information which would be difficult to share even if you tried: complex equations, very boring passages of text, large blocks of random numbers, and dreams…

But anomalous antimemes are another matter entirely. How do you contain something you can’t record or remember? How do you fight a war against an enemy with effortless, perfect camouflage, when you can never even know that you’re at war?

Welcome to the Antimemetics Division.

No, this is not your first day.

Probably something like Tensor Processing Unit. That’s a specific Google product, but something along those lines

Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is an AI accelerator application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) developed by Google for neural network machine learning, using Google’s own TensorFlow software. Google began using TPUs internally in 2015, and in 2018 made them available for third-party use, both as part of its cloud infrastructure and by offering a smaller version of the chip for sale.

Compared to a graphics processing unit, TPUs are designed for a high volume of low precision computation (e.g. as little as 8-bit precision)[3] with more input/output operations per joule, without hardware for rasterisation/texture mapping.

Second this 😀

@jgrim@discuss.online has been doing an awesome job of running it, and also created Sublinks as a Lemmy alternative

The link wasn’t working for me, it seems PieFed doesn’t like capitalization differences in the links? Lemmy ignores capitalization. This works, at any rate:

I don’t see the new post on my instance at https://discuss.online/c/sighfi@quokk.au, you might want to check that it’s federating properly. I’ve heard that recreating communities like that can make things get into a weird state.

Neat, are you involved in activitypub.rocks? What sort of updates can we look forward to?

Where were you looking?

Are you maybe looking for flohmarkt?

The name flohmarkt is a german word and translates to flea market or garage sale in english. This is a symbol for each flohmarkt being meant to be a small place for a somehow connected group of people. All the flohmarkts willing to federate make up one big place for small advertisements about exchange of goods and services.

I said bad actors, not amazing-and-underappreciated-in-their-time actors

I’ll plug my home instance, discuss.online. We’re generally low-key and don’t heavily moderate stuff, but will also respond to bad actors.

You could check with @MrSebSin@sh.itjust.works, who created and runs https://bellobear.com/ (and posts them on Lemmy to !bellobearofficial@lemmy.world)

My read of OP’s question was asking about something they could switch the friend group to. If they don’t want to switch to anything else, then they’re stuck on Snapchat because that’s what they’re already using.

It’s not part of the Fediverse, but Signal is a good for group chats. It’s got reactions and gifs and whatnot, and you can also ignore the notifications you don’t care about.

Thanks for creating this! There was a sad lack of Dune memes, so I added some 😀

It’s a meme:

Nothing better:

Nathaniel Merriweather Presents… Lovage: Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By

Yeah, OP’s post history suggests they’re posting unironically and laughing at the signal boost from people missing the dog whistles. There’s probably a reason they’re banned from !greentext@lemmy.ml.

@nzmaa@lemy.lol is that the case?

@nzmaa@lemy.lol what do you think the reason for that is?

Not really a question, but something to think about is being more strict about backwards compatibility so that people don’t get burnt out on having stuff break. Coming from this post by the Tesseract dev, who did not like the breaking changes to the v3 API in 1.0: https://dubvee.org/post/2904152

To formulate that into an actual question, do you think the changes are still worth it and you’d make the same decision to break backwards compatibility?
