A server will only pull in everything from a community once at least 1 person on that server subscribes. Then it will start pulling in every new post and comment as soon as they’re up.

/r/Tech, /r/Technology, /r/TechNews and others all exist. Which one is the “main” one?

Yeah, posts & comments can’t work in this way because each instance will have different ID numbers for their federated copy. I’m not even sure how to begin approaching this issue.

Jesus:

temperatures surged to more than 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) in Dhaka. Other cities such as Rangpur recorded a high of 41 degrees Celsius – the highest there since 1958.

Global warming is absolutely crushing certain countries. There’s going to be a lot of dead elderly and young children before all that is over.

This is gonna be another gif situation, isn’t it? :))

You do you, bruv

It’s not allowed in a lot of instances because the moderation is absolutely exhausting and sometimes NSFL material.

The only limiting factor here is admins + moderators of an instance willing to put themselves through that.

So, there’s a fundamental issue here. A lot of the systems that Amanda is talking about aren’t actually AI.

Chat-GPT, contrary to the blogosphere, is not actually AI. It does not have the capability for thought. It doesn’t have the capacity to understand truth or fiction as concepts, let alone tell them apart.

Chat-GPT and similar systems are probabilistic language models. Essentially, I start it off with sentences (a list of tokens, if you want to get technical). Then it responds by essentially looking at the training data it’s been supplied with and picking out the sequence of tokens that most likely is the answer the user is expecting, given the input. Notice that bolded text? The user is expecting. Not anything else. These language models are trained to spit out what users expect, nothing more, nothing less. If a user doesn’t like the response, they give a thumbs down and the model recalibrates, introducing more noise and randomness into the result.

These language models are actually really great at reducing manual labor at certain tasks (writing cover letters, delivering predictable essays, I’ve personally used Chat-GPT for Shadowrun world-building) but they need to have a knowledgeable person using them because they absolutely will not reliably say true things. They will say whatever their training data says is the most likely thing the user is asking for.

Legitimately almost made my spill my beer xD

Yeah, AAA titles have been absolute trash in recent years. I’ve just been on indie games and a total simp for Paradox Interactive (sorry, I love grand strategy games) for quite a while now.

It’s not a priority for the devs, for very understandable reasons. They just finished a HUGE performance pull into the github for lemmy-ui (the web platform). Anybody willing to make a new app or improve the existing one is absolutely welcome to do so.

I don’t think you can on Beehaw.org. All communities on your instance need to be created by an admin.

Probably a good thing overall, considering the thousands of dead subs that are going to be all over the place come Monday.

You’re awesome man! This is direly needed. I’m just wondering how on earth to publicize this before the madness that hits on Monday.

Any chance you could find a place to fit this in the join lemmy site and do a pull request before then? I know it’s a lot to ask, but it would be huge.

Actually, the full URL is pretty easy to use if you know what you’re doing (which of course, everybody is trying to figure out right now).

Just switch the search from “Community” to “All”. Image from another thread

Have you tried the community browser yet?

Definitely early days teething issues. There’s gonna be thousands of dead communities in a week’s time and it’ll take time before things settle down and people come to a consensus on the major ones.

I hear you man. I went from active contributor to mostly lurking on Reddit, and it wasn’t even a conscious choice. Gradually, everything became very mechanistic. I knew what the top few comments would be before going to the comments. The churn became cyclic in nature.

After just a few days here, it was actually a little disconcerting how antagonistic and hostile people there are in the comments section. That’s just how people communicate, on a hair-trigger from flamewar.

I recognize your username, I saw what you wrote about SQL scaling. Can you imagine recognizing a username in a major subreddit in the reddit of today?

The dichotomy between the big communities which people subscribe to from all over Lemmy and the small meta/announcement/server issue communities for each individual instance is gonna be interesting to see develop as the userbase increases. Kinda like the difference between seeing people from your street everyday, then many more less familiar people in the city center.

It’s an open issue on their github. The main devs are way too busy to deal with it. I’m trying to grok as much Rust & Psql knowledge as I can to be able to contribute, but it’ll take a while. Anybody with Rust & Psql knowledge can contribute, the devs are open to any contribution to improve the platform
