A common occurrence is that while a stock drops it hits the trigger price for shorts, which can make it bounce

Yeah he should be using real art like stock photos and shitty clip art

I am an aggressively mediocre singer but the 2 hour rehearsal on Monday is the highlight of my week. It’s so fucking fun man!

Baby boomers would eat their own children at the first occasion

I don’t think we’re the right demographic to judge that as our view is very distorted by our own experience. The reddit “exodus” is barely a blip in their daily user count - in fact DAU has gone up by 50% since the API changes which is huge especially for a mature platform. This makes it very desirable as it shows that the more aggressive monetization effort doesn’t in fact drive users away.

“I’m asking a question on the internet but will flame you for giving an honest answer”

Then why are you here?

When you read that stuff on reddit there’s a parameter you need to keep in mind : these people are not really discussing Lemmy. They’re rationalizing and justifying why they are not on Lemmy. Totally different conversation.

Nobody wants to come out and say “I know mainstream platforms are shit and destroying the fabric of reality but I can’t bring myself to be on a platform except it is the Hip Place to Be”. So they’ll invent stuff that paints them in a good light.

You’ll still see people claiming that Mastodon is unusable because you have to select an instance - even though you don’t have to, you can just type Mastodon on Google, click the first link, and create an account in 2 clicks. It’s been ages. But the people still using Twitter need the excuse because otherwise what does it make them?

Yeah honestly i can’t get anything done with a raspberry. Maybe i host too many services ?

jesus christ what a nice burn

That was a classic House MD episode 🎖️

Yeah i mean if Big Tech was aligned with the US government, they would have had front row seats at the inauguration or something.

If you take into account the optimizations described in the paper, then the cost they announce is in line with the rest of the world’s research into sparse models.

Of course, the training cost is not the whole picture, which the DS paper readily acknowledges. Before arriving at 1 successful model you have to train and throw away n unsuccessful attempts. Of course that’s also true of any other LLM provider, the training cost is used to compare technical trade-offs that alter training efficiency, not business models.

just like for american models, the political bias is irrelevant. Realistically you are using the model for its reasoning capabilities, not its answer to “what happened in Tiananmen”.

Yeah it’s ridiculous. GPT-4 serves billions of tokens every day so if you take that into account the cost per token is very very low.

Glaringly inaccurate, it is well known that the “carriage” was in fact a bronze chariot driven by Sargon the Great.

But then as a stand alone movie on mental illness it is so mediocre. I feel that it’s only palatable if you’re into popcorn movies and have no reference of good psychological drama.

It seems a lot of people believe there is a magical bag full of candidates that can potentially win general elections, but the Dems for some reason decided not to open it…

In French we use the term “diagonale du vide” (the empty diagonal)

I’m curious to know by which metric France has “become a shithole”, and how that is related to immigration ?

Oh i didn’t mean to correct your experience but rather the political take you extracted from it. Your personal experience in grade school doesn’t represent a systemic problem. The population we’re talking about here (north african young immigrants fresh off the boat who need remedial linguistic classes) is, what, a few thousand people a year ? You don’t close a country’s borders just because you can’t handle a few thousand unruly adolescents.

My other point is that, while religious conservatism is a real danger to modern society, it is not driven by immigrants who have few resources and are primarily motivated by their own survival. It is driven by well established people who already have the French nationality and are comfortable enough to afford being “rebels” to the system. It’s also not specific to islam - have you seen what Christians are up to these days ? Have you seen what Jews are up to ? Current news seem to indicate that the Abrahamic-minded are not taking kindly to the 3rd Millenium.

Also as a side note. 1 in 3 is not good enough. Most people are risk adverse, give them 33% odds of something positive and they’ll tell you to shove it.

That wasn’t my point. My point is that the majority of immigrants come for study or work and they integrate with no issues.

The people the RN accuses of not integrating are French people with French passports and it is their fucking god-given right to not “integrate” with the culture around them. I was a nerdy vegan kid in a village of rugby players, hunters and delicatessen producers. I never fit in with that peasant culture - should my nationality be put into question ? No ? Then why is the standard different when it’s a kid from arab descent ?

They are French citizens they don’t owe any allegiance to any ideology or way of life and that’s one of the pillars upon which this country was built. They wake up and go to work like me, they pay taxes like me, when they’re caught speeding they get a ticket like me. They bring their kids to the same school where i bring mine. They complain about trains being late and the administration being incompetent. Let’s leave them the fuck alone alright ? We’re living together just fine.
