Everything else looks pretty real to me that that’s a sign this might be AI

Thanks… I have downvoted my own comment in shame. Godspeed!

Obligatory nitpick: open weights ≠ open source. For it to be open source, they need to release the training data as well as all the parameters they used in training it.

According to https://joinmastodon.org/about :

Mastodon gGmbH is a non-profit from Germany that develops the Mastodon software.

[…]

Mastodon, Inc. is a non-profit entity in the United States that supports the growth and operational capabilities of Mastodon, including being able to receive tax-deductible U.S. donations and in-kind support.

Doesn’t seem like it was a move, just a different entity. Seems like there’s a bit more history to this if you want to look it up, for example the German GmbH lost its nonprofit status in 2024, strangely.

fucking finally!

I don’t get the joke with the beaver.

It’s obviously been painted over and the word “Copper” in the text is replacing some other word that was there before. But I have no idea what it was before.

A quick glance at the summary table can answer that. Planck units seem to do the trick.

Come on, you are able to analize words!

No, you can’t. Believe me, I’ve tried. I did everything I could to analyze this topic. There are many things that are possible to analize. Many household items. But not words.

There are various systems of units where select physical constants are set to 1. A handy comparison chart is on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units?wprov=sfla1

It turns out you can’t harmonize all the physical constants. Some will necessarily end up as some non-round number.

Most of them have speed of light = 1, but some have it as 1/α where α is the fine-structure constant (α = e² / 4πε₀ħc ≈ 0.007297)

I think (not 100% sure) that UEFI is a replacement for BIOS. All modern computers use UEFI.

People still colloquially call it “BIOS” because it serves a similar purpose, but there is a technical difference.

They’ve come a long way. https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2014-11-25

Get out.

You’re welcome! Folding@home is the big one, and the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search is also pretty popular (though IMHO a waste of resources for a relatively useless result). But I just looked into this topic myself after posting that comment, and turns out there’s a huge list of such “volunteer computing” projects: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_volunteer_computing_projects

So while Folding@home is a great one and medical scientific research, you might pick something else from that list. Perhaps more than one!

Now the confession: I’m a hypocrite. I never ran any of these volunteer computing projects on my own PCs. But that’s partly because I tend to shut them off every night, so a lot of the usable time for it isn’t really usable. The other part is basically that I never bothered to do it.

But I think after this conversation reminded me of it, I might look into installing it on my PC!

At that point you might as well run Folding@home on your PC just to act as a heater. It’s literally a win-win for you and for society.

(They’re not. Oil in the ground is mostly trees.)

Of course I can get it, and I have every intention to do so! But it would probably take me more than half a second to retrain my associations of which name to use, which pronouns to use, etc. There is going to be an adjustment period.

Why not?

It’s mostly a big desert so no land of great value is lost. And it has to be on land, doing this in the ocean would be impractical and crazy!

The original statement is still vacuously true so your can keep saying it :D
