cwagner,

I’d say this is an amazing result for MS. Not only is their investment mostly Azure credits, so OpenAI is dependent on MS, now they also got Altman and his followers for themselves for more research.

cwagner,

I don’t mind so much what they did with firing him, but how they did it, and everything since. It just seems extremely unprofessional and disorganized.

cwagner,

They believed that the AI safety work they had done was insufficient.

Considering that every new model seems to be getting worse for anything but highly sanitized corporate usage, I’m not sure that I want more AI safety …

For my usage, I use Chat GPT 3.5 turbo with the march checkpoint because I can’t get the current one to stop moralizing about bullshit instead of doing what it’s supposed to (I run two twitch bots with it). GPT4 used to be okay there, but the new preview is now starting to have the same issue with more frequent “I can’t do that Dave”-style answers, though it’s still mostly circumventable with enough prompt massaging, but it is getting harder.

In a year, I don’t see anything but self-hosted models usable for anything not corporate glitz if trajectories hold, so fuck all that AI safety.

cwagner,

Nothing that runs on my GPU / CPU comes even close to GPT 3.5, GPT4 is not even in the same universe, and that’s with them running far more slowly.

cwagner,

That’s an interface for models. Which model did you use?

cwagner,

Which model are you talking about?

cwagner,

Oh, faster is easy. GPT 3.5 is also far faster than GPT 4. Faster at quality replies is the issue.

cwagner,

Yes.

cwagner,

Crazy, the news almost took hackernews down when it broke. MS also was taken by surprise, and today 3 lead researchers resigned. Currently only speculation and no one really knows what’s going on.

cwagner,

Maybe don’t sling mud like you are Fox News, even if you are a fan.

cwagner,

learning about some arcane internet drama,

I know a lot of people are in love with these “I’m a designer and I want you to know it”-sites, but this is a perfect example of why I dislike them: Upon loading, I see a useless animation (I have prefers-reduced-motion enabled), and blank boxes. Only after 5.55 megabytes of font has been downloaded (slightly over 2 seconds), does text show up.

cwagner,

The week didn’t end too well, while coming back from the first store, my foot started hurting a bit, got worse when going to the 2nd store. Later at home while watching TV, getting up was actively painful, and I had to hobble.

The next day, I used nebenan.de (German nextdoor copycat) to borrow some crutches, and went to the doctor (which required taking the bus, Saturdays normal doctors are closed and the Anlaufpraxis is at the hospital, kinda a non-emergency emergency room). I thought it was a sprained ankle, but apparently only similar and not that bad, no bleeding, and the swelling had already gone down. I got a zinc paste gauze bandage (apparently called Unna’s boot in English), that has to stay on for 3 days and can’t get wet (so no showering …)

It helped a bit and since Sunday afternoon I’ve only been needing one of the crutches which gives me a free hand, very convenient ;) This all results in my wife doing more chores, especially the dishes which, so far, has not resulted in disaster ;) I’m still cooking as that mostly works while standing mostly on my left foot.

I do miss running, but the doctor also told me I should probably get new running boots as the current ones are ancient (mostly unused, but material fatigue happens anyway) as that might be related. They should arrive tomorrow, but I’m not sure when I’ll be able to run again. Already missed dancing lessons this Sunday, the ones next Sunday will be the test if everything is fine, and I can start running again on Monday.

As you might be able to tell from this elaborate whining post, I really hate being sick ;)

cwagner,

Oh, I am. I’m still walking with a crutch, have not been dancing this Sunday, and always wear foot stabilization bandages …

cwagner,

Here’s to hoping the new Wagenknecht party (essentially hexbear, the party) is going to take some of those votes away.

cwagner,

I still wonder what’s so different with my circle that so many of them use signal. I mean sure, none use only signal and all also have WA, but almost everyone I know, which is people from Flensburg (border to Denmark) to RLP (center-south), aged late 20 to 70+, use signal. Less than 10% don’t.

cwagner,

I usually buy games for under 10, or kickstart them for more. This one’s pitch sounded awesome enough that I backed it on fig originally, and now bought the season pass ;)

Recommendations for beginner winter running clothes?

2 1/2 weeks ago, I started going for short (25-40 minutes) daily morning runs. Right now the temperature is mostly 10C or higher, so I can just wear shorts and a t-shirt. One day it was below 8, felt a bit cold, and so I got a functional (=plastic) sport long sleeve. That works well, and I can even wear a t-shirt under it if it...

cwagner,

Aren’t thermoleggings usually wooly? How would they dry within a day?

What’s a buff? Googling it suggests a brand, so are they just kinda neckerchiefs for wind protection?

The part about zippers for extra air is a great tip, never would have though of that.

Thank you :)

cwagner,

So currently, I’m just wearing my normal cargo pants, you think I could probably just keep going with those? Or are stretchy plastic pants something I would need?

cwagner,

Interesting, thanks :)

cwagner,

With Ski underwear, I’d worry about not being able to clean & dry them within a day?

For night runs a headlight is a life saver.

Heh, first run at 4:40 am or so. Wanted to run along the water. “Fuck, I literally can’t see the road”. I ran laps through two 1-block parks which are not lit, but are bright enough from the nearby streetlights. Kinda liked that I can easily count how much I ran (both parks together are 250 meters), so I kept running there even for days when I ran later, and it started getting brighter.

cwagner,

What water wicking under layer can I wash and dry within a day, though?

cwagner,

No dryer. I take my functional top, as mentioned, into the shower and just wash it there, then hang it up and because it’s essentially plastic, it easily dries within a day. That doesn’t work for normal clothes.

And even if I had a dryer, I wouldn’t waste that much water and electricity to run the washer and dryer every day.

cwagner,

Here in Germany in my circle (which has people from mid-twenties to 60+, from the North to the center), most people use Signal, with Telegram being a rare outlier. WhatsApp is what everyone uses, though.

cwagner,

Huh, weird. I have no issues accessing it, but apparently bypass bots like 1ft.io are also blocked. It’s a big Israeli newspaper.

cwagner,

That just gives me endless captchas :D

cwagner,

Sorry, the page you’re looking for cannot be found.

cwagner,

I think it’s someone else doing a similar thing. I recently heard about it and with the 12ft shutdown I thought I’d try it ;)

cwagner,

Great start into the week, got a new personal best for my morning run, 6.8 km. And my wife is going to start a B2 German course + employment course (whatever that means) paid for by the unemployment agency.

On the negative sides, money continues to be tight, and it’s another month I’ll postpone buying that Sesotho course I want. The Christmas bonus in December should help there. I also gained weight, 2kg. I guess the now regular exercise is making me hungrier.

cwagner,

Thanks <3

simply mean you’re gaining muscle, which is heavier than fat

I know, but I doubt that’s happening after 2 weeks and 2 days :D

cwagner,

Your words in the deep one’s ears ;)

cwagner,

You could also use the subscribed view to only show communities you’re subscribed to. The next version of Lemmy will have a filter to block communities on an instance basis.

cwagner,

Soon, probably. Been in beta for a while. But I subscribed to a lot of communities back when I was using Lemmy federated, didn’t really have minimal content.

cwagner,

This is a bit confusing, how do they know there are over 1500 Israelis who signed? Nothing is stopping me from signing the pledge, the site even encourages me to. But I’m not an Israeli.

cwagner,

PDF of the actual publication

Other publications including case studies for specific countries, gender equality reports and more.

cwagner,

If someone thought he was innocent, SBF would probably “well, actually…” them.

cwagner,

The potential fines are nothing to scoff at, and reported plans are expensive, so there’s a good chance they’ll try and be compliant.

cwagner,

Fair enough.

cwagner,

Great start of the week, as Martin Luther did his thing tomorrow a few years ago, and for a few years we now had a public holiday for him ;)

Also, after starting to do cardio for the first time since childhood last week, I managed to start again today morning. And surpass last week, running for 4800 meters. I was confused why it was so much brighter, bit but more people around in the morning, till I was reminded later in the day, that DST ended ;)

cwagner,

Shredded shouldn’t be an issue, unless they’re was weird stuff in there. But maybe high acidity was an issue.

cwagner,

The soapy water cleans off when drying and leaves them clean. Two stages are wasting water, and extra work.
