I remember them responding to a couple antipiracy lawsuits in… India I think? they also make an exception for ISIS-related channels. But mostly all, yes.

they did ban it, and everyone still used it (Telegram was good at evading the bans back then, but eventually Roskomnadzor became decent at banning it), and then they unbanned it, whatever that means

Russia banned Telegram, everyone (incl. the government) continued to use it, Russia unbanned Telegram - that’s how it looks from here. A government official told me Telegram being unbanned was just a matter of time when it was still banned.

again, !bang is for searching using a specific search engine, !!bang is for redirecting to a search engine’s page

!g will search with google

!!g will redirect to google

all ddg bangs are supported to my knowledge, but obviously !bang will only work with the search engines searxng supports

different neural network types excel at different tasks - image recognition was invented way before LLMs, not only for lack of processing power, but also because the previous architectures didn’t work with languages. New architectures don’t appear out of thin air, they are created with a rough idea of what we could need to make the network do a certain task (e.g. NLP) better. Even tokenization isn’t blind codepoint separation but is based on an analysis of languages. But yes, natural languages aren’t “parsed” for neural networks, they don’t even have a formal grammar.

i’m not talking about knowing about how humans perceive/learn languages, i’m talking about language structure. Perhaps it’s wrong to call it “how languages work”

While I agree that LLMs can achieve human-tier efficiency at most tasks eventually (some architectural changes will be necessary, but the core approach seems sound), it’s wrong to say it’s modeled after the human brain. We have no idea how brains work as they’re super complex, we’re building artificial neural networks from the ground up. AI uses centuries’ worth of math, but with our current maths knowledge the code isn’t too complicated. Human brains aren’t like that, they can’t be summed up in a few lines of code because DNA is a huge mess that contains so much more than just “learning”, so many inactive or redundant bits and pieces. We’re building LLMs with knowledge of how languages work, not how brains work.

searxng has bangs too

as a rhythm gamer, I can say you’re full of shit lol

I have 240hz and the difference between 120hz and 240hz is somewhat noticeable, don’t see why I’d need any more than this though

homophones are common in Chinese and Japanese because there’s only so many potential readings of a hieroglyph, but each one has a different meaning

because killing birds isn’t a task of the kernel, it’s the task of a userspace utility part of the coreutils

over a century ago Lenin has defined imperialism as capitalism in decay, monopoly capitalism, capitalism that has outgrown competition, that has stopped playing a progressive role in history and became solely a force of reaction, and since then not much has changed

they are, the titles just got changed

good, now please remind me when and for what reason was Alan Turing killed?

now remind me what happened in Cuba in regards to LGBT over the past 50 years?

I stg some people are immune to dialectics

even if we take your position 100%, jailing LGBT people is not genocide in the slightest, your position just trivializes actual genocide (unless you mean Holodomor, which you should’ve mentioned, and which is absolutely not man-made and doesn’t count as a genocide as such, even if you can criticize some of its surrounding policies)

you’re probably one of the people who say “personality cult bad”, yet you ascribe to Stalin the level of influence that could singlehandedly flip the modern Russian’s outlook on one of the most polarizing topics in modern times 70 years after his death. Well, news flash, nobody has that kind of power. People act as “conductors” of objective historical forces, and Stalin was no exception, even the CIA said there was collective leadership in Stalin’s time. Communism doesn’t recognize “human rights” or any “universal” morals, so you have to scientifically analyze the LGBT movement to make a case for supporting it. Can you blame Stalin for not personally having done research into the gay question over 20 years before the word “gay” even appeared, during the WW2 and its preparatory phase? In order to answer a question, it must first be asked.

when people criticize Stalin in general, they criticize the objective forces he stood for - namely, the preservation of socialism by all means, in spite of countless wars. When Khruschev proclaimed destalinization, he also proclaimed “peaceful coexistence” with capitalist countries, he proclaimed the “state of the whole people” (as opposed to the dictatorship of the proletariat), and started the ball rolling towards the full restoration of capitalism and dissolution of the USSR. Of course, this too isn’t a personal decision of Khruschev, but a manifestation of broader revisionism and opportunism in the party. This is the reason the Marxist-Leninist movement will continue defending Stalin’s legacy.

eh… writing proprietary software is much more embarrassing

there’s not much to know about it, I use Cloudflare simply because its routing is better than direct IP connections for many places on Earth. I can’t fully use Cloudflare anyway because I host many non-web services.

I know about it, but it kinda defeats the purpose (the purpose being police raid protection)

no reason not to publish them as long as they aren’t infringing on any IP, I’ve published some very niche projects

• full disk encryption on everything except the router (no point in encrypting the router)
  • the server doesn’t have a display connected for obvious reasons, so I’m manually unlocking it via ssh on each boot
    • obviously, the SSH keys are different, so the server has a different IP in initrd. That said, I still don’t have any protection against malicious modification of initrd or UEFI
• the server scans all new SSL certificates in realtime using certspotter and notifies me of any new certificates issued for my domains that it doesn’t know about (I use Cloudflare so it triggers relatively often, but I still do checks on who the issuer is)
• firewall blocks outgoing 25 so nobody can impersonate my mailserver
