Oh good, a trans erasure post in pride month, excellent.

I knew dyspraxia was a potential one, but I’ve met shockingly few ADHD folks with it, at least the same flavors of very-fine motor impact I have with it.

It doesn’t help that it’s not a mental disorder, but a biological one, largely neurological, that we understand a lot about one of the brain-structure causes now.

The problem is that doom scrolling and repeated exposure to bursts of endorphins creates a physiological syndrome that mimics some of the symptoms of ADHD due to slightly similar reasons, but not all of them.

The real answer is “what’s the fucking context for how these numbers are being used?”

If it’s “just as written on a test” I think asking for clarification on order would be accepted.

If it’s an actual context of some kind then that alone dictactes the way you solve it.

Can’t quickly come up with a word problem for this one though.

It’s not just that, it’s that they don’t care. People keep assuming it’s solely based on a lack of knowledge but the real point is establishing consequences to prevent the things that can’t fight it from existing to begin.

They’ll decline to go after the websites they as lawmakers use themselves, but will instead hit up independent things that can’t afford to fight back and will just close when contacted.

Forgejo is a git server.

UI looks very similar to older GitHub before it got so “modern” in a bad way.

Yep. Dropout use them for a streaming backend.

I think it’s to point out the first comment having more likes than the post itself.

Did they ever solve why the original PineTime had weird charging behavior? Mine and several others, when charged to 100%, would not behave correctly and would bootloop.

Genuinely had to read comments to understand and now I’m upset that I do.

Alternatively, it comes off as a person who has tried this in earnest numerous times and is exhausted by people who assume that they haven’t given things a genuine shot.

And there are few things more grating than a tech person assuming the other person doesn’t know what they are doing in earnest just because they were short with you from having already explained it elsewhere, numerous times over time, to the same result of what is, effectively, tone policing. “You didn’t phrase this in a technical manner thus I assume you know jack shit.” Not far off from sea-lioning really.

But this takes it back away from understanding how LLMs work to attribute personality. The “decision” isn’t a decision in how beings decide things like that. The rolling of dice on numerous vectors resulted in those words, which were then re-included into the context for another trip through the vector matrix mines to new destination tokens to assemble.

It’s dice rolls where the dies selected are based on what started out, using a bunch of lookup tables. AI proponents like to be smug and say “well you won’t find those words in the model” like “yes a compressed vector map that ends up treating words like multiple tokens, referencing others in chains, gzipped to binary, can’t be searched for strings, you are literally correct in the stupidest, most irrelevant way possible.”

I had to check boxes for gaming packages specifically to get installed. It’s an extremely fast Arch fork first and foremost, with gaming features second.

I thought it’d be gaming first too but it was clear during install that’s more of an “oh also”.

That’d be relevant if it were the issue and not specifically snap related.

I hate random calls but I’m also usually very time efficient with answering things, so despite my own usual aversion to calls I find work is the only place I’ll ask if I can quick demo/show something to get input. Lasts a total of 3 minutes, keeps me on-topic to my work, and takes less time than waiting for their slow typing back while I’ll be distracted in typical ADHD fashion and start trying to discover if my laptop dock can make my hand cream melt.

Wait, inherently? I created a Piper module using the “piper-speak” shortcut program but this is neat if so

A text prompt -> audio is not a transformer in the sense of what people are talking about, and you know it or just don’t care, or don’t wholly understand how these systems work under the hood as well.

What I’m referring to are neural models that take an input audio and are effectively a filter that operates as a neural network. Voice mods, instrument adapters, virtual pedals, amp models… These are all actually transformative. There is actual music and effort going into these. And that is not what Bandcamp is after; those were already in heavy use like 15 years ago.

The things that generate based on text are a transformer in the most technically correct sense but not in the sense of what is meant when people talk about transformative.

They’re fundamentally different purposes and usages. It’s not generated vocals from nothing but the lyrics; it’s someone else actually singing it and then a model transforming the sound to match an intended pre-set trained target, not generalization.

Sure, but we’re talking generative here, as is the article, and to pretend it’s referring to a tool that’s been standard in libraries and even VSTs for over a decade is either misunderstanding the article or being disingenuous on purpose.

If AIGM was like VSTs or vocaloids that’d be one thing. But it’s more like imitation of sounds, synthesizing song chunks instead of instruments and voices themselves.

The best way to think of it is something creating an audio file solely by using the Photoshop clone stamp tool across millions of source files.

The straights are not okay
