Are some people just less valuable than others?
We are all waves on a single ocean. It some ways it is silly to compare one wave to another because they are just a single body of water

Maybe the best way to learn to speak a new language…
I'm not fluent in second language or anything, but I think I have learned the most when immersed, like I visited the Philippines for a month and started to pick up some Tagalog. Or during two years of grad school, I had a lot of Nepali friends and slowly started to understand more Neplai words and phrases

What's an online service you happily pay for?
I donate $5 quarterly to Wikipedia. It's not much but I figure every bit helps

I actually support this as long as the false positives are not too bad

Ubuntu Linux Will Begin Landing AI Features Throughout The Next Year
Just as long as it is local AI and optional. If I'm gonna have to connect my Ubuntu devices to some datacenter just for slop I didn't ask for, I'm switching again

What are good, viable self defense objects to carry on you at all times, besides a firearm?
Not trying to be a smart ass, but a good pair of running shoes or being in relatively good shape to run.
Even if you do have a firearm, for example, I live in a "duty to retreat" state, and in most cases, if you don't attempt to retreat where reasonable, before using deadly force you can get charged

Reddit stock collapses 23% as AI eats away at user growth
Ironically, their stock is dropping because they started treating their users badly in order to improve stocks.

It probably uses Retrieval Augmented Generation, which can still hallucinate, but usually does a better job for niche questions and it can even provide a source sometimes depending on how you set it up

Tim Cook sees Apple’s hybrid AI strategy as a ‘competitive weapon’: Apple emphasizes that much of its AI suite — Apple Intelligence — can be run on the devices themselves.
I'm a big fan of local AI and I think it has to be the future.
It's ridiculous l, like Bonsia AI's Q1 models are like 3.5GB easily doing basic tasks that most people are asking 600GB flagship models.
Who on earth would pay for something that needs a basically terabyte or RAM that only performs 10% better

Leak Reveals Microsoft Wants Its AI To Be 'Addictive'
Reply in thread
Not necessarily. If it answers you question and go go about your day, that's not as good for Microsoft user numbers/engagement.
They probably want it to just barely get you exactly what you need to keep you on the edge. Once they start training models for user engagement the enshitification will begin

Why don't teens go outside anymore? No! not like that!
Are there literal curfews nowadays for kids or is that hyperbole.
Where/when I grew up we didn't have specific curfews, but the cops mightve stopped to ask questions if you were out an about at 2am or something. But we would typically just be hanging out and chatting after a long day of skateboarding

no exception to this rule
Maybe the joke went over my head, but could someone explain how they are fascist?
I get that they are kind of a disaster for the environment and people's brains right now, but fascism seems unrelated

New plans to stop children taking, sharing or viewing nude images
I don't know why isn't it just the parents responsibility. For example where I live, you can get charged with "negligent storage of a firearm". Why can't there just be a "negligent allowing your kid to do whatever they want with no DNS filtering" offense

How/what to start self-hosting?
One of my first self hosting projects was a jellyfin server. Double check, but I think the main hardware requirements are just 4GB of RAM and enough harddrive space for your videos/files!
I really like immich too. It's like Google photos, but self hosted. It's super fast for uploading and backing up your photos over your local network. Immich also needs at least 4GB of RAM I think

China accuses US of 'AI hegemonism', threatens countermeasures over potential probes
Now all of a sudden the US AI companies care about intellectual property theft.
If they can steal the entire worlds work, I think other people can distill their models into more efficient models
