They mention it in the article, but I think its purely for donations, so you can subscribe to donate on a monthly basis

I don’t know much apart from the basics of YAML, what makes it complicated for computers to parse?

I mean regular people don’t know how to read it, except if you randomly decided you wanted to. It’s pretty big culturally, e.g. the Baška tablet is a very important piece of history written in glagolitic that everyone knows about, and I’ve seen the alphabet randomly displayed in a few places, but nobody actually uses it today.

Damn, wild Glagolitic script found. I didn’t even realise it was in the Unicode standard.

Yeah but then you look at China and it’s at 4%. Maybe they got into the game early enough to get enough adress space for it to be serviceable?

Interesting that India has such a high percentage. I’m guessing it’s because most of their network infrastructure is probably relatively new and so they can include support right off the bat, instead of having to retrofit stuff?

Didn’t know about the outbound traffic thing, that’s really cool.

Well on one hand yes, when you’re training it your telling it to try and mimic the input as close as possible. But the result is still weights that aren’t gonna reproducte everything exactly the same as it just isn’t possible to store everything in the limited amount of entropy weights provide.

In the end, human brains aren’t that dissimilar, we also just have some weights and parameters (neurons, how sensitive they are and how many inputs they have) that then output something.

I’m not convinced that in principle this is that far from how human brains could work (they have a lot of minute differences but the end result is the same), I think that a sufficiently large, well trained and configured model would be able to work like a human brain.

I’m pretty sure any petty theft is very hard to track down. Not just bikes, if someone broke into your house and stole some minor things it’s almost certainly not gonna get found. Bikes are the same, it’s very easy to resell them and repaint, and nobory registers bikes.

Do you mean at the end? I can’t live without it, I feel kinda claustrophobic if I can’t scroll below the actual text.

Interesting how 2008 dramatically reduced prices in the US but basically did nothing in Canada

It’s probably from the instance finding other instances and communities and saving them locally. But I don’t know too much about how it actually works so I could be wrong. I also heard that they are only stored locally if someone on the instance subscribes to a community, so if that is the case my theory wouldn’t make sense.

From what I’ve heard (take this with a huge grain of salt) is that the posts themselves shouldn’t take up much of your storage. The biggest thing that could take up your storage are images, but they are only stored on the instances where the community in which they were posted in is.

In a way, I could imagine it increasing server costs by like 0.001%, if even that, because if the algorithm finds a post to recommend but then realises it’s from a blocked account, it would have to search again (ofc it’s probably optimised so that it realises that at an earlier stage).

But we’re talking about such small details it literally doesn’t matter and is outweighed by the functionality lost one hundredfold.
