In-reply-to » @abucci Can you explain the type of neural networks behind these *GPT(s) and how they differ from more traditional ANNs? 🙏

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Interestingly the Wikipedia article on GPT-3 describe it as:

Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) is an autoregressive language model released in 2020 that uses deep learning to produce human-like text. Given an initial text as prompt, it will produce text that continues the prompt.

Which is even more confusing to me, mostly because it doesn’t speak of a neural network at all. Basically I was (on my short-lived holiday) doing some R&D on neural networks, evolutionary algorithms and other reading 😅

@screem@twtxt.net Yeah it was fun enough, never long enough, but oh well 😅 One of these days (maybe this year or next) I’ll try to take a larger chunk of time off work 🤞

In-reply-to » Tailscale · Best VPN Service for Secure Networks - Anyone know anything about Tailscale? Used it? Recommend it? How does it stack up in terms of actual secure networking and VPN access to your infra? Can it be trusted

Not really sure what to go with. My use-case is:

  • Provide out-of-band access to my infra for emergencies (needs 4G/LET connectivity)
  • Provide access to internal (private) resources for teams (currently do this via Authelia)

📣 Incident: Last night at approximately 2205 (AEST) on the 7th April 2023, vDSL connectivity to my servers were lost and never recovered. I had to cut my holiday short by a day to come home to investigate.

Likely culprit, storm/water damage to the copper that’s been sitting in the ground for some ~30+ years or so and never been replaced.

Thanks NBN Co 🤦‍♂️ #NBN

In-reply-to » Thoughts on a Crazy Week in AI News - by Melanie Mitchell

Finished reading this in full 👌 Key take-always for me are:

  • politicians are idiots
  • journalists are also idiots
  • the public lacks AI literacy
  • “AI” companies are fueling the fire and hype to profit from (no surprise)
  • we need better accountability, transparency, and openness from builders of these systems
  • The general public needs to be better educated on the limitations of these so-called “AI” systems

In-reply-to » The Bitcoin Whitepaper is hidden in every modern copy of macOS While trying to fix my printer today, I discovered that a PDF copy of Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin whitepaper apparently shipped with every copy of macOS since Mojave in 2018. I’ve asked over a dozen Mac-using friends to confirm, and it was there for every one of them. The file is found in every version of macOS from Mojave (10.14.0) to the current version (Ventura), but isn’t in High Sierra (10.13) or earlie ... ⌘ Read more

@shreyan@mstdn.social Haha yeah I can see the humorous side of this 😆

I find it really frustrating that governments continue to behave as if they are above the law. And change and create new laws to suit their agenda of the day.

Why is the Australian government allowed to continue to prospect a whistleblower; where we have laws to protect whistleblowers (since 2013); then just as David McBride is fronting up to court to protect himself from the Australian government, they disallow him access to his own key witnesses and evidence in the name of national security?! 😳 (another set of made up laws that have dangerous fat reaching consequences for all) 😱🤦‍♂️

@osnews@feeds.twtxt.net da fuq?! 😳 Who’s the dumb ass that added the Bitcoin white paper to the macOS build system?! 🤦‍♂️ Does nobody conduct proper reviews?! 😆

In-reply-to » I still have great memories, of playing Club Penguin as a child, or even playing it on a few private servers, at times, as a nostalgia-filled adult, after Disney destroyed and took down the original. Sadly most of those servers were either too obscure, broken, or not obscure enough, to avoid Disneys lawyers.

@thecanine@twtxt.net Wait what?! 😱 You need to provide your drivers license and partial social security number to play a fucking game?! 🤦‍♂️
