@rnovak1988 @LundukeJournal Lol multiphobe is spot on; it sounds better, and is much closer to the intended meaning. Pluralphobe has grammatical connotations.

@varrogep @LundukeJournal Which ironically is like the furthest from what they mean. I really think d-i-d-phobe or multiphobe would have been more phonetically pleasing, but whatever floats their boat. Now I just have to figure out if I was talking about one person or several people.

Lix, a fork of the Nix Linux package manager, has some of the most bizarre, political rules imaginable. For example, the following will get you immediately banned from the project: - “Transphobia” - “Peddling Right-wing Ideology” - and “Pluralphobia” If you don’t know what “pluralphobia” is, you’re in good company. I had to look that one up too. “Pluralphobia” deals with Multiple Personality Disorders. If you are not sufficiently supportive of someone who believes they have multiple people “living in the same body”… you are a “Pluralphobe”. When interacting with the “Lix” project, as a developer or user, it is mandatory that you agree that every “personality” a person has is real. For example: If a guy named Tony, from Nebraska, sometimes thinks he’s Julius Caesar… and other times he thinks he’s Gilligan (still stuck on the island)… you MUST agree that is all real, and show each “personality” respect. … or you are banned. The “Lix” project also makes it clear that people “of a less-marginalized background” are a “guest in our spaces”. Assumedly “Our” means people who think they are Genghis Khan on Tuesdays. Also, being a Republican (or having other “right-wing ideology”) is forbidden. “Lix” has declared itself to be a political, non-neutral project. Not surprisingly, one of the key goals of the “Lix” project is to replace existing C++ code… with, you guessed it, Rust. Because of course. lix.systems

@skdh @paulg Well, he's a billionaire, so probably not. But then again a billionaire's definition of 'nice place to live' is vastly different from the average person, so I'm not sure what even the point of the tweet was. Is he saying "you'd like it"? Who is "you" in this context?

We're in Stockholm. You know how there are some places where you think "Nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there"? Stockholm is the kind of place that makes you want to live there.

Few mistakes here: 1) In my podcast I talked about a red who, when confronted with the aspect of innocent children who couldn't understand the game theory aspect said it was irrelevant as their random votes would be "statistically insignificant". I made a point of saying someone like this doesn't represent all reds whereas you, on the other hand, said a psychopath who wants to murder people for their answer in a thought experiment represents the average bluez revealed your own bias. 2) All is not for naught when I press blue and die because I believe in God. There are greater stakes here than "virtue signaling." 3) You can't tell everyone you love to vote red. That was explicitly confirmed by Urban and intuitively understood by the vast majority of people voting. You changed the parameters of the experiment to remove the risk of killing someone you love which means you engaged with the experiment incorrectly.

@lporiginalg @KTWildPhoto It'd be killing off all the right white people though. The ones with suicidal empathy. You're voting blue because there's no way to guarantee that everyone votes red. I vote red precisely for the same reason.

@varrogep @LundukeJournal It does. But because of its biases, it tends to have highly negative hallucinations about "conservative"/right-leaning folks (Robby Starbuck is a prime example of someone it straight up slandered). Some of this might be "jokes" from Reddit.

Here’s the short-short version of why ChatGPT is unable to say my name (“Bryan Lunduke”) and errors out when it tries: Some time back, people began to notice that ChatGPT was hallucinating fact about me. Wild, ridiculous things. Like “Lunduke organizes Trans pride rallies”, “Lunduke has a husband”, and “Lunduke has two club feet”. Stuff that wasn’t even really based on sources or real training material. Just ChatGPT having an acid trip. These statements were easily considered “libelous”. And, based on the law at the moment, OpenAI would be liable for any potential damages should I take them to court. So I reached out to OpenAI (including CEO @sama) and, after having multiple discussions, I gave them a simple ultimatum: “Either fix ChatGPT so that it no longer consistently makes up false, defamatory statements about me… or make it so that ChatGPT can no longer talk about me.” After a month of working on it… OpenAI decided that they could not figure out how to get ChatGPT to stop consistently hallucinating about me. Think about that for a second. The engineers at OpenAI could not figure out how to make their AI system… tell the truth. So my name, “Bryan Lunduke”, joins a small handful of other names which ChatGPT chokes on. Interestingly… the “Don’t talk about this person” filter that OpenAI developed is incredibly buggy. Resulting in people finding creative ways to “trick” ChatGPT into talking about me. OpenAI couldn’t develop a system that told the truth… so they put on a broken, buggy filter. I find it all highly ridiculous.

Not gonna lie, being in the “Names that give ChatGPT a stroke” club makes me smile.

I think you mean Citrix Metaframe/Winframe? Citrix licensed the Windows source then made a terminal server product that was so good that Microsoft licensed it back. It's interesting that nothing in FOSS has come close for 30 years. GRD is pretty damn good now, but i'm not sure it counts given that it's an RDP implementation.

@Nexxo00 @octal It all depends on how you value your time and/or enjoy tinkering. I think it's a niche product, and for most, the benefits don't exist, while the added expense/delay are very real. I could be wrong, and in some individual cases I definitely will be.

I vaguely want to get a Framework 13 Pro (idk between intel and amd) to support them, and to have a good linux alternative to the Apple ecosystem, but IDK if it's worth it vs just buying the best thinkpad every 12-24mo.

@octal You don't even need to pay premium for that, tbh. System76 are awesome to deal with and are competitively priced. But my daily driver is not even a linux-first box. It's from Falcon NW; it came with Windows, runs Linux perfectly. As will most anything.

I pay $250 for GPT Pro, and I would pay 10x that in a heartbeat. The case could be made for 100x. Coding aside, the ability to ask any question on any topic at any depth, and get a well-reasoned answer in a few minutes is world-changing. It'd didn't just change my world, it keeps changing it every day. World-class education on your terms, at your pace, on the topics of your choosing, at the levels of your interest... and you're asking me how much it's worth? It's worth "yes" amounts.

@LundukeJournal Age verification flips the relationship: the OS is no longer your servant, it becomes your master. MacOS and Windows were built for control; Linux exists to reject it. At least, that's how I always understood it.

@zinziroge On the one hand, the whole fun of dominoes is the asymmetry: laborius setup vs. the instant gratification of knocking them down. Automating the reset would remove what makes them attractive in the first place. On the other though... doll clothes?
